I do mileage runs one a year on a few different airlines and have a lot of fun plus get all my reading done! To each his own, I guess. I'm a United Global Service (which is based on spend, not miles, ~$80K/year gets you that) from

No it wouldn't. Tuitions would plummet. And we can certainly make sure we have a good, inexpensive (or free!) community college system with wide access so everyone can get a start with higher education.

This wouldn't be a concern of the Federal Government at all if they'd just stop funding student loans. And there would be a side-benefit of college costs dropping sharply. A win-win for everyone!

Ah yes! I remember way back in the day (1989 or so) you could tell who the _real_ Windows programmers were because they had a second monochrome monitor (and old Hercules card) in their computer so SoftIce could display on that screen while

The photos weren't really leaked. They were purposefully, proudly, and affirmatively held up by a senior TSA official so a news reporter could photograph them. While these locks are so easily defeated that this really doesn't make

Isn't 2%/year enough of a property tax increase? Why should I suddenly get a tax bill I can't afford because some idiot bought the house next door to me for too much money, causing my "property value" to skyrocket?

One thing's certain. The U.S. Government wasted billions of taxpayer money training TSA agents--often recruited from ads on pizza boxes--in useless behavior analysis techniques.

Good! And people who complain about paywalls should be banned. I'd much rather read a primary source than read a blog that summarizes a splog that links to another blog that wrote about a headline that appeared in the NY Times. I pay f

Thank you, Mark for defending me. Nothing bothers me more than when Silicon Valley geeks try to take Jewish law and twist it to fit their new-age mumbo jumbo.

Actually, the Sabbath is from Friday Night to Saturday night. The Christians have perverted this.

My gmail address, which I got when gmail just started, is my last name @gmail.com. There's no first initial, no numbers after it. Now, my last name isn't that common, but there are probably several thousand people with it. And I g

I can press two keys at once on _my_ piano. And I don't have to play at 5 keys/second. But as someone who has a model 12 and model 15, I know what you mean.

Maybe for Stiglitz it is, but for hard-working people with real skills, America provides great opportunities.

Ok, I'm game! Join me: https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/_/g7qn5tqae6r63h7curf... I've always wondered why it was so friggin' hard to start a hangout.

Exactly! Why do the Linux people try to "take over" every Windows thread? The Windows folks don't barge into every Linux thread. Windows 10 is excellent. We moved our all-mac company (~20 developers) off Macs and onto Windows

How do you think Apple gets their spell-check data, or improves Siri's voice recognition? In any event, during the installation process, you do see a screen where you can turn all this off. It's not off by default, but viewing the

This could be useful, especially with extended "gits" that allow for easy manipulation of large binaries, when working with creative departments who aren't used to source-code control workflows. (Even in 2015, most art depart

This is very beautiful. The clock is probably the "killer app" for this. It would also keep the cats amused; like watching a fishtank for them.

I think it's a Bad Idea in C/C++, but it may not be a Bad Idea in some untyped interpreted languages, or in a special "checked build / debug" C++ environment.

I like PG; but I think YC may not be the best place for everyone. (We never considered it for our startup, for example.) And he is quick with the banhammer for those who disagree, which I think is unfortunate.

I had the exact same experience. I got my first name, a common name, spelled the usual way, and I made my email "firstname@firstname.to" (that's Tonga). I used this for non-critical mail, like when a business (face to face) a
