It's actually kind of an interesting thought to consider. If programming challenges aren't good at helping you become a better programmer are they good for determining if you're a good programmer? These kinds of sites pop up

"making the beast with two backs" or whatever in the beginning of Othello just struck my mind, and nearly all of Titus Andronicus is beyond decent. There's also quite a bit of awful stuff in The Merchant of Venice

I wish people still wrote so eloquently in their everyday correspondence. It seems like the further you go back in time the more beautiful the language used to be. Some of the letters back and forth during the American Revolution were very

I thought artificial gravity was science fiction. Is that seriously being studied? I'm guessing they just are going to spin some kind of space capsule ala Space Odyssey 2001? What else would they be doing? Not generating any kind of ar

RIP car washes! Wow and that self cleaning paint action, I just had to see it. At this point I just think a ban on wired.com is called for on HN. Whatever nice discussions we've had from wired is probably not offset by the constant shi

I'm amazed that adsense was bringing in enough money to pay for anything. You generally need 100k+ visits a day just to break into minimum wage territory.

> the justice system convicted him of a misdemeanor, hardly enough cause to fire most founder/CEOs I think you may be under the impression that a misdemeanor is not a big deal. A misdemeanor is a serious criminal charge. It is not

The justice system convicted him very recently. Nothing overruled him, he was fired because of the conviction.

I'm pretty sure that in some states, like California, verbal agreements are protected by law. If he admits to the verbal agreement in court he's bound by it. I don't know if this is true in New York. If they disagree and say

Don't strike anyone, regardless of their gender. That shit is serious legal business. Things kids did while fighting on the school yard become felony charges as adults. You can't use physical violence against anyone. The governmen

I may be alone in this but I don't want anyone to talk to me. I don't even want people to talk around me but that's probably not anything I can expect. I want to read my book. I want to be left alone. In Japan it's very

What is end goal of "crushing them?" You want them to stop being weak? You want them to not be in your life anymore? Quit their job, or quit their school? I also sense weakness, I was in the Marines, and my impulse is also to be t

It's a badly written article by someone who has no additional information. I have no idea how it got to the top of HN but I wouldn't be worried. I'm pretty sure Google+ is dead now in the way that Google Reader was dead for y

I'd also include knowing a lot about computers. Like how they work at a low level, how they represent numbers, low level networking protocol, how the operating system interfaces like interrupts, how processes and threads work. A comput
