Well for one: privatized bus services generate more revenue as ridership increases as opposed to subsidized buses which have to stretch the same amount of resources further.

Hacker News is a site full of entrepreneurs extolling the virtues of hard work and doing four years' work in one year's time -- how can this be so popular?

I don't understand how this could've got to the front page. It was written in 2011. Why front page today? Is this genuinely a popular idea or is HN being manipulated somehow?

I would far prefer to hire a passionate hobbyist to someone who went to school just to get credentials for something that pays well. People with passion tend to improve their skills on their own and genuinely care about the craft. But you

Well the household income is not the incorrect number to look at. You just have to divide that by the number of people in the household. Children, elderly, disabled and others don't typically work. That makes the income-per-individu

Actually dietary fiber does NOT create similar effects. SOLUBLE dietary fiber does. And that is also dissolved by water. Which is why you soak.

Please do not spread this incorrect information! The reason you soak beans is not to improve the flavor. It is to dissolve the flavorless and indigestible sugars that give you massive bean-gas when you eat them. If you soak beans well bef

They can't deliver their spam message to begin with. You'd need to approve the contact then you could still block them if they spam you. There's still friend-request spam on facebook, but not nearly as much as email because

That's a great topic to have a conversation around. My initial thoughts are that you'd have a blacklist for servers as well as individuals. So if people mistakenly approve senders at around the same rate they mistakenly open spam

by maxk42 12y ago
There's nothing preventing an unapproved sender from requesting contact privileges, but once denied, their messages and further requests would be ignored by default. Each server and user would have their own identity management conce

It's missing the one killer feature that would fix the spam problem: approved senders. If you had a "friends" list like Facebook where only people you've approved may send messages to you, we'd cut down on 90% of s

I know that a sans-serif font looks all slick and modern, but those serifs in Courier New help your eye identify the character more readily and improve readability. Any monospace font without serifs is automatically a no-go for me when it
