   Though I don't have data to back up my point, my impression is that there are actually a lot of Asian tech founders. (a well known example is Yahoo Co-founder). If you consider the population ratio to tech founder ratio, asians are probably

   English is my third language. But these people are supposed to be pros, correct? Anyway, it was just a fun observation.

   Apparently,even though you have a chinese girlfriend,you don't seem to understand much about Chinese people or culture. Trust me, everyone of her family care about whether you own (or have the ability to own) an apartment or not (including

   This is a very insightful article. Etherpad is still my favorite real time text editor after trying all the other products such as google docs.

   There is a big hole in this experiment. Think about it, let's say the future me choose 1 curtain in round 5.And I was wrong so I see nothing and move on to round 6. And the current me reaches round 5. Since in the future, i do not see any s

   I am so amazed by how frequently people come up with the same idea. I have been thinking about making an office hour app 7-8 months ago and been talking to everyone I know for feedbacks. Fail on me for not being able to execute it sooner. G

    I hope you've really grown past it. Having a bad reputation for being an unethical hacker is a liability. I think for most employers, trustworthiness is one the most important factors. In the meanwhile, you probably want to do some freelanc

    Unless you know or plan to learn about lisp, it can be hard for you to maintain or modify the code. I am building an HN clone in Python (I'll probably make a PHP/SQL version too) and will open-source it in a couple of months. Stay tuned.

    Thanks for the article. It's a very good read. Definitely going to check out the book. I meditate once in a while and when I do, I find out that I can concentrate better. It's great for those who have or suspect they have ADD.

    He is not a "totalitarian Buddhist". The fact the he borrowed the concept of Buddhist Wheel of life doesn't make him "totalitarian". The topic is misleading,inconsiderate, ignorant and offensive.

    Unless the team is really smart and very good at various recommendation algorithms and mathematical tricks(which is not doing so well now),I don't see them going anywhere. Everyone can pull out the videos overnight using the Youtube API but

    We need a decentralized social graph. I should host and own my data not facebook or any other organization. Maybe browsers should innovate and solve this problem.

    Go to your molecular biology department. Talk to them about what research they're doing and what kind of data they're getting. There should be a lot of publishable thesis you can find (either building a new bioinformatics tool or figure out

    Wow. Now I can see it turning both left and right at the same time. It's pretty weird.

    I see it both ways after 4 minutes. But I didn't get it initially. Can this be practiced? Just focus anywhere on her body (butt or straight foot), after 10 to 40 seconds, it just automatically switches.

    "Assuming the trials are independent..." This is a big assumption. Same entrepreneur, same personality, more or less same skills, same contact networks... It can hardly be independent.

    I have no idea what this is trying to prove. Without any dynamic behavior, it is really a very trivial thing to code the interface in a very short time. What's the point?

    I totally agree with you! This is a great example of why more features hurt and less features are more useful. I know that the design is great and the transition or animation is nice looking. But the main goal of the users is to read the co

    I definitely lost my respect and trust to WePay founders because of their seemingly support for unpaid internships. Their justification is that interns can gain learning experience though they're not paid. This is okay if none of the intern

    This article getting to the front page is either an indication of the weaknesses of HN algorithms or the drop of quality of HN users who voted it up.
