I don't know. Is going to jail based on your race suffering more or less than not getting into Harvard because of your race? I tend to agree with OP's comment, but one important aspect is left out when talking about things like th

With CSS, it's a little more do it yourself and finding out the best/efficient hacks [sic] to solve a problem. If you can create a grid based layout, you can make a hacker news clone with html/css.

Full disclaimer, I work for a somewhat prestigious air filtration company. I agree the wording is a little bit on the strange side. However, if they are saying that it's a "bioweapon defense mode" they should probably be sayi

Not only allergies but I also wonder about air quality in general.

Whoa, I was actually looking into buying one, but this is actually really disconcerting and totally off putting.

Usually the FedEx/UPS guy asks what your name is when you sign. It goes into their system as "Delivered at 123 Address by 'John'" as a two part 'proof' that it was delivered to the correct address and by a

Well, then your previous definition is moot. Also, if you're interested in it further, I suggest Interest and Effort by John Dewey..

Why do we all have to be young? I'm 27 years old (am I still young?) and started self teaching 2 years ago. I'm creating an API for poets/poetry because it doesn't exist. I'm implementing my own API to serve the poe

Well, okay. I see where you're coming from but you can absolutely teach motivation. It is, however, extremely harder, because motivation is not as tangible as talent in the case of the individual. I mean, I'm not sure I'm n

Maybe because he's 19? I agree though. This is not exceptional or very impressive. I don't really get why this has more upvotes than the 14 year old kid who posted a relatively way cooler site that utilized a bunch of APIs, etc.

This is awesome. And inspiring. I need to start writing about the things I'm building. Maybe I'll do a Reddit Bot in Java and record that! Thanks for sharing!

I am one of those self-taught no degree developers currently building my own portfolio. It definitely is intimidating to contribute to open source projects not to mention learning the projects/technology to be able to contribute. But a

Why not wait for the XPS 13 Dev Edition?

This is a good idea but some things don't make sense. What do you mean I don't need an auxiliary cord or set up bluetooth? Then you say, "Essentially this is done by having the phone connected to the car"... What? That v

SOME blind people can see using echo location. From what I understand, children can learn faster in detecting objects with sound vs someone much older where it may take much longer. There is a pretty good Wiki on it that explains more and i

This sends shivers down my spine. We already have net neutrality to worry about, no doubt the far right will be using this event to fear monger that kind of legislation.

It's mostly aesthetic, but lighter visuals (dark text on light background) are better on the eyes during the day and darker (vise versa) visuals are better at night.

Meh, the article is a collection brief on pretty much everything that's been posted on HN. You're right though, it could have been summarized and sorted out better. Nobody is going to click and read every single article.

I've only done Lyft and Uber a few times in LA and I'm almost inclined to say that those who drive for Lyft and Uber are eerily projecting the company they're working for. Lyft the company is far from being saintly, but the d

I am honestly curious but is there a link or survey somewhere that says most HNers make/have money?

I first heard about Diplomacy via This American Life. The reporter talks about how he played the game and eventually went on to hire an actual diplomat to help him play at the World Championships. It's a great story in itself and I rec

The solutions that anybody brings in favor of so called Free Market Capitalism or any other form of libertarian market ideology is also easily pulled apart. I don't disagree with you but academics are expected to give a solution, no ma

I am certain I've seen Communist sentiments scattered around HN but with actual discussion. The same goes for Libertarian sentiment, however I think OP's comment seems flippant at least and reddit flair flippant at most. He contri

I didn't see a newsletter sign up, but I registered anyway so hoping to get some emails in the future when you add more paths (webdev!). Would love to see more service industry career paths as well. Great work!

Is Java frowned upon nowadays? I'm learning it as my first "real" language, especially for Android & Spring, however I've been playing with Javascript/JQuery and have a web/design background. I've also

Love this. One kinda hard feature suggestion for the future is filtering out recruiters (when/if you implement an 'advanced' search).

So in the end, what you're saying is that he's right? I took his comment as a broad generalization, not some flippant slogan via "free market is a fantasy economics concept pretty much exclusive to all who read Ayn Rand and v
