I think you're being a bit hard on yourself here. While patio11's post are certainly worth reading your posts are more like essays. Complete with references and all. They have obviously taken some time and thought to compose, and

That's probably a correct observation. DHH, Bjarne Stroustrup, Rasmus Lerdorff and Anders Hejlsberg all moved to the US. Seems like all we have left is Poul Henninng Kamp (Varnish and BSD)

There are 2 on the list, and if it is from the leaderboard (which I presume it is) I'm one of them. I think Denmark is quite an interesting case. Unknown to most people a lot of great technology is written by Danes (The V8 javascript e

While I don't know the facts it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that the police has never killed anyone in Iceland. It's a small and peaceful country. I'm from Denmark, which is culturally fairly close to Iceland and we

your hypothesis is backed up by this story claiming that at least one other chemist has also been tainting evidence and that 180.000 cases now need to be reviewed. http://filmingcops.com/breaking-another-government-chemist-a

The Oxo measuring cup is indeed very clever and solves a real problem. Here's a picture for those (like me) that couldn't quite picture it from nate's description: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-2-Cup-Angled-

So far, I haven't seen the good reasons why I might be untrustworthy. I'd help, but that seems unfair. The better question to ask would be "Why might I be trustworthy" which he could then try to answer. Not that I do

The easy way to solve this problem would be to add a sub-title field on the submission page. For many submission it could be left blank, but for the ones where the submitter wants to draw attention to something special or non-obvious, like

Maybe they are. My understanding (and this may well be false) is that show HN is more for cool tech demonstrations and side projects, whereas rate my startup is for launching and rating startups. Rate my startup may well be hidden in a subs

detecting all porn seems to be an almost impossible problem. Many kinds of advanced porn (BDSM, etc.) don't have much skin - often the actors are in latex, tied up, or whatever. It's obviously porn when you see it, but detecting i

"It can't be true that homes rise 10 percent a year. If they did, in the long run no one would be able to afford a house." This is such an obvious observation, but one most people miss completely. Math doesn't lie.

I was rather confused since I know more about finance than logging. In finance, "Widowmaker" means one thing: Shorting Japanese Government Bonds (JGB) and inevitably losing money. Because of Japan’s gigantic national debt, and bec

The bulk of Japanese debt is to large Japanese pension funds, so yes theoretically the government could just declare that the Japanese people wouldn't get their pensions and simply steal them, but somehow I don't think that's

They do mean something, and are in fact worrying. I presume that the HN crowd will understand why, otherwise I'll gladly explain.
