Patrick is doing business in theory, but what he actually seems to enjoy is education. He likes teaching people with his comments and teaching with his blog posts. He focuses a lot on that, and less on the actual business and the money.

Morality aside, murdering someone is a new experience that you will likely learn a lot from. Of course, there are highly negative consequences that you would not want to deal with. And of course, you are hurting other people...literary. If

I was 19 and my sister bought me a computer and I received an AOL CD in the mail. So I got on the net. Then I got a Microsoft VB6 CD. And I learnt to program. I didn't like how difficult the dial-up software was, so I decided to make it eas

You're very, very wrong. Be many different people over the course of your life. Try many different things, lose friends, make friends. Life is variety, and each new experience will teach you things you can apply in different ways. It's good

I want a proper count of how my story is spreading in social networks (or graphs). I would like facebook + twitter commenting. I would like it to spread among smaller or alternative social networks. I'd like it to be possible for people to

The problem with Posterous is that the changes they have made over the past 8 months (since I started using it) have been small and irrelevant things (like code highlighting or such stuff). When I write, I want to be appreciated and I want

Another example – Fusion Garage employee Stuart Tan, who still lists the Crunchpad as the project he’s working on on his Facebook profile, emails his girlfriend to tell her that he’s “really sucker these people.” This comment is taken out

I think people are too afraid of competition. There is no product without a lot of competition, and suprising as it seems, second best, 3rd best and so on are still making a hella lot of money. Take microsoft word - it dominates the word pr

I doubt that HN censors people they disagree with. I've written many things that one could say are anti YC or anti-YC companies, and I have never been censored or had anyone email me telling to not do this. Several other people also who say

The first page of the article uses various journalistic tricks to make the Australians seem like nice homely people, while the Chinese seem like faceless big corporations.

I'm glad for you! Persistence does pay off indeed - now start sending emails to CNN, let's see you slowly break down all the media fortresses. Also, get a favicon.

I'm not sure why you feel socio-economic background is relevant here. And I'm not sure what relevance a suit has here. I'm not trying to raise investment from Zuckerberg or get invited to a dinner with Paul Graham. I'm not trying to launch

This is chronically unfair. So now the people who have money and are already part of an elite get better service and get their complaints resolved faster? And normal people don't? What is being built here - some type of tech aristocracy whe

Make sense. The original articles can still be read at the original locations, so nothing wrong with charging for an organised version.

You'll notice that jl followed people in the "right" order, starting with the company, then pg, then the worker, then this reddit dude. Contrast that with pgs follows, which were uncalculated, and revealed the rough order in which he though

The market for these kinds of services is going to be great over the next years. If you want to make a startup, do it off those principles: We have all this unstructured data and information - make sense of it, and give it to me in a useful

What this basically means is this: if facebook is this aggressive, and pg et al have done the due dilligence and still gone into the deal, then we on the outside should copy them and follow a similar path, because it's probably going to end

As impressive as the story is - it sounds very typically American. A boring American has the normal story you know. An interesting American has this story or some variation of it - maybe immigrant parents, maybe poor childhood, maybe doing

This post is just wrong. He says that their site does not have social features - and he says it in a strangely proud manner. Have you TRIED social features and after comparing the two, discovered that the version without social features was

I think you are absolutely right in trying different things till one works. When the idea is right, when the business works, you will know, nobody will need to tell you.

I'm not sure if what they are saying applies to the first girl they speak about. A street hooker cannot easily transition to a highly paid escort. You need to be pretty and young at least, to earn that much. And the street hookers, if they

Are you sure this is not about the facebook 'like' concept? Facebook has brought the 'like' keyword into the mainstream, and the 'like' concept is creating a graph over the entire web that is basically sorting the web by how many people act
