I agree. I've struggled for years with programming. I would complete every Codecademy-like course or tutorial I could find, only to be left feeling as if I just learned how to go through the motions of programming. I always knew there

While I do suspect that he might not have paid close attention to warnings of surge pricing (I'm an avid Uber user, and I've always known if price is surging), I do think he is right to be irritated at the company's lack of

Do everything you want to excel at everyday. One big problem I've learned with not working consistently at any one task is that after dropping and returning to a project, I find myself being familiar enough with areas I last touched th

If they don't unveil a larger iPhone, I'm going to buy a Galaxy the second that conference is over. They've been so far behind the curve with respects to screen size -- almost every other major contender is shipping larger sc

I want to thank most of you for making this one of the funniest threads I've seen on HN. Your theories as to why corporations and the people around us succumb to societal pressures pushing them to take on disingenuous facades of unfunn

Big words for someone who just created an account to critique this submission.

Lesson learned: Don't upload a fun, story-telling presentation online for fear that a third-party may submit it to HN where you will likely be ridiculed not only for not applying scientific-study-level-rigor to every bullet point and i

Agreed in that engagement and motivation are big issues. But time and time again I've witnessed physicians rushing through explanations of a patient's condition and management in a language far too sophisticated for a layman'

This is absolutely fantastic. Patient education is one major and crucially important part of healthcare beyond hospital/clinic walls that is often overlooked because staff don't have time and don't 'dumb' things dow

What about reserving the pending system for stories on the front page where you typically get the bulk of low-quality comments? A user commenting on a 2-day-old front-paged thread is either contributing meaningfully or feeding a flamewar, s

Quite a coincidence that I see this tonight. I was on the bus today and noticed someone playing a game on their phone, something simple where you have to trace over a pattern as closely as you can. It was frustrating to watch because every

Sure, there is a subset of science-oriented startups that don't require founders who fit that description, but for many of the industries listed in the article to be disrupted, you'd need doctors, lawyers, researchers, biotech eng

For those with enough karma, I'm curious to see what custom logos you've chosen to replace the Y. And for users who've been here for more than 8600* days, how frequently do you use the direct messaging feature? *Edit: 2500 da

Given that these more visionary, long-term, scientific startups will often require founders of a different demographic than what we're used to seeing (eg. older, more experienced in a given field, maybe with obligations like a spouse a

I feel like this is a big shift in focus for YC and for the industry if others follow suit. This will do a lot of good in changing the image of the typical startup, from who starts them to what their ambitions are, signaling to those in oth
