but it's not government funded, so I don't think it applies. Funny how xkcd applies to so many things though haha.

Did they really just promise fusion power within four years? I don't know why I'm seeing this on HN...it should be trumpeting and blasting through our media like wildfire. I mean, this is an article's dream - no details, extravagant claims

Is this a big deal? With my limited understanding of networking stuff, couldn't you just set up a CNAME or something? Without showing the user the full url? I agree it's a slight inconvenience, but it's not a huge letdown.

Hi RailsReady. I highly advise you to move off launchrock and use a a custom site for signups. What does it say to me about your technical skill if a simple sign up website is out of reach? You can even continue to use Launchrock, but us

Yeah, I was surprised when a torrent wasn't available. This also seems like a perfect use case for http://burnbit.com/ .

Two things - 1. This is a hard problem to respond to. 2. From what I've seen, most people on HN respond better when they see the OP has made some effort. Sort of like a homework problem. Your post mentioned very little about what you

I've seen bitcoin on HN at least a couple of times in the past month, so maybe just read a bit more thoroughly. Your sources seem fine, but I would add Arstechnica to it.

I wasn't aware of all the difficulties, I'm very sorry. This might be the perfect use case for bitcoins however...at least until you can emigrate.

Odesk you can't, Elance did not say anything about it. And that is not stopping him from freelancing himself. There's plenty of opportunities in the Hiring Freelancer thread as well. I'm not familiar with these issues however, so I'll ref

Do you know of any resources to start this? I am essentially going to do a pilgrimage around the world, starting from SF. Going to Mexico, Panama, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, with a hop to Australia. It would be great to talk to

This is so great! I'm planning a world programming trip, and this is so helpful for that. Do many people freelance on the go like this? Considering a programmer could at least earn $30/hr, at 20hrs/wk thats $2400 / month. Clearly enough

I am sorry to hear of your situation...please don't take offense. You say "I am not eager to search for a job...", yet you ask " Is there anybody willing to give me a job and be able to get me a work visa?" That does not make sense. It se

sorry for the tangent . Hi overgunn77, can I email you? I have a couple of projects that I might need to contract out due to lack of time, and your email was not in your profile. I am also taking a trip to Mexico soon, and it seems like

It takes some time, I think my acceptance took two weeks? I deferred my acceptance. Be patient, and good luck! You can always send an email and ask for clarification.

Shouldn't you list your qualifications to see if the co-founder wants to work with you, not just any random person?

Wow this position seems awesome. Do you know if they are specifically looking for someone with D3 experience? I guess it's time for a quick project... edit: It says "This position is closed". Is this an error, or was this initially poste

Agreed, I've never understood the system. Publicly fund the research, but not the access. The journal's should be non-profit, and the journal should charge a nominal fee. The rest, the government should cover.

I'm not sure what's the differentiating factor about this company. They give no information about the company, even on their homepage. How can they manage to employ everyone on the team page without a product to sell? Do they have inves

I feel your pain! Except I'm chemical engineering...long story short. Go do a bootcamp, and build a portfolio. That's the the only credentials that matters. If you want a formal CS education, MIT has all of their CS classes on OpenCours

Lenovo T420. Buy it from their outlet section. If you're quick, you can get one for under $700. Great computers, very sturdy, and easy to repair yourself. Highly recommended. (I own one. This is being typed from it).

Definitely not trying to make a joke. If someone had the knowledge equivalent to a bachelor's level, does it seem correct that to be considered equal, the individual would have to pay for at least 3 years of school full-time (even if he te

Are there any opportunities for students/fresh grads to help? This seems like a very good cause to spend some time during a gap year or so.

Finally! Separating certification from knowledge. This will eventually be the norm I feel.

ask them to register their flight and contact info (twitter, fb email, phone). You monitor their flight for them, if anything is wrong, you tell them with Twilio/twitter/fb, and also send them an ad. Considering it's already a free service

bphogan I was not saying these kids are unmotivated and should focus on school - I am very sorry for even letting my comment be unclear. Of course our children should be nurtured, and the fact that this situation exists is awful. Everyone

japhyr are you a teacher? What subject? I'm definitely not saying that. The I was describing was curation - to know the good courses from the bad. Shoot, if you don't like the Harvard course, take the MIT course. I agree that getting the

I have a question for HN. At what point do you become responsible for your own education? Before, you may have not had a public library near you. Nowadays, there is too much information. Curation? Multiple MOOC's have taken the problem an

Yup, Thorium is awesome. Energyfromthorium.com is a great resource if you want a further background. Also, if you want the actual technical papers that Kirk Sorensen painstakingly manually scanned in, please go here http://energyfromthor
