Are you crazy!?! That looks like a few days worth of salmon for me (if I could afford it) :-)

Regarding your first premise, specifically the poor. If I live in a city, and work, but my work only pays enough for me to be poor, you are saying I should be shipped out to the country and given a farm? Under Austrian economics, how would

As always, I am a day late and a dollar short, so I don't know if you'll read this, but here is a feature request: 1: Allow people to import their facebook friends 2: Set up a script they can download that will block fb on their h

As a very heavy smoker, I just laugh at all the furor surrounding smoking. High taxes, warning labels, interventions. I know exactly how bad smoking is, the empirical evidence is unassailable, but my question is, and has always been: If s

Oh well, time to burn some hard earned karma :) I am currently teaching myself Python, going through the "Learn Python the Hard Way" book. About half way through I wanted to work on a real project, to get a feel for the limitation

She could probably improve her method by adding some stuff from Gagne's Nine Steps of Instruction[0] Most of what she's doing I would say is not so much sales stuff, but hitting on important educational theory. For example: She st

I would say that it is because we don't reap the benefits of our own work. Our employers do. If you owned a business and had the option of letting me work 3 hours or take a 10 times increase in profits what would you do? And say you ar

I like the idea. Here's a thought: There are a few sites out there which rate charities on where donated money goes. Research those and convert the percentages into steps - for example, if you take 10000 steps a day, and your charity r

Check out "How to read a book" by Mortimer Adler. A great process on reading to understand more. Even has a section about reading speeds too, as well as ideas on choosing a book.

For anyone interested in improving their profile pic, this is a good article: http://www.diyphotography.net/take-professional-linkedin-pro... Read all the way through, as he points out that it is not the equipment that matt

Honestly, as a website dev during the height of flash's dominance, I think you're a little off with your hatred. During this time, it was extremely rare to have a designer involved in website design (I can't prove it, but I t

As a teacher, I tried this site out a few years ago[1], and it didn't work out too well for us. Mainly because of timing and the fact that we didn't try to market it at all. I may look into it again, but it almost feels like the o

It didn't taint the reading experience for me, as I wasn't expecting a peer reviewed research paper. I viewed it as an interesting opinion piece.

Are VC returns really poor on average? I thought their hit rate (1 company out of 50 being successful) was poor, but their returns are stellar because of the few unicorns. If your conclusion is correct, how are the VCs staying in business

I don't know. I don't want to fully stop pedophiles, as I know that allows for draconian measures which hurt everyone. I know it will happen - always has, always will - but I don't want to automatically make it easier for p

I am completely fine with free speech. Even though I hate neo-nazis with a passion, I would also stand in line to allow them to speak freely. But I have had many a bruise from fighting the neos when their speech moves to action. And I&#x2

I do feel comfortable with being a part of a global backbone server, and you're right, I don't see a way around the moral issue. But I do see a light at the end of the tunnel in the idea of serving what I consume, that is an inter

I get the analogy, but it just doesn't quite... fit this problem for some reason (maybe because there are a lot of crimes I feel aren't crimes, and crashes are just random fate most of the time). Plus I could think of numerous wa

Why do you think that is? It seems like they are really open with most of their stuff, so why haven't they exposed the wayback with an api? Then again, wouldn't it be pretty trivial to scrape? (I say this as I'm working on a

Thanks for the explanation, no worries about not being given able to share code. You do make it sound simple, so therefore I will make a typical HN comment (god help my karma :) : If you can abstract it away enough, make it SaaS, sounds lik

Is that even possible? I don't know the latest size of the IA, but it must be ridiculously huge by now, (1 billion pages a week added) bandwidth cost would be massive. Maybe they could offer a mail-us-a-multi-petabyte-hdd service... Re

Maybe that's because they are trying to target 'non-programmers', so scale probably is not an issue for them. But that may hurt them if they want 'serious' programmers to take note. For me, I want to try it out beca

Can you explain more, or even share your project? It sounds quite interesting.

Cheers for this idea. I was just wondering when I should stop the prototyping 'hacks', and sit down to try doing things smarter. I have tackled the "MVP" of my problem, and I am still hacking away to get exactly what I n
