When a stock goes up in price, nothing has changed. It's still the same company. Information you get has changed, sometime just via the price.

I am certainly no expert, but this doesn't seem surprising for three reasons. - Significant investment means significant external validation for the company's chances of success. It also theoretically raises its chances of success. it isn't

The claim that there are no simulation masters, no alien races, no omniscient AI spy satellites, no ... is certainly possible, but it seems like we're back to thinking that we humans are special and the center of the universe. Huh?!

My comment still applies. I'm not really trying to convince anyone, just showing how for many people the process of changing their mind about God involved the principle outlined in the essay and demonstrated in these comments. According to

For me, Dawkins had a similar effect but on a different topic. I'm younger than pg, so maybe I grew up with the idea that we are just another species on its way. What I did get snapped into was understanding 2 things about evolution by natu

I think your question actually demonstrates a principle behind this essay. Paradigm shifts come from discarding assumptions. Often, this is embodied as correcting the question instead of the answer. To me, the most convincing atheist argume

Is it normal (not necessarily within YC, I'm speaking generally) for them to either accept money regardless in order to get the associated benefits (even if these include help raising larger sums later) or come to some non cash exchange?

2 Things - I'm not sure how much it matters what we ate 20,000 years ago. For example, lactose tolerance is assumed to have developed very recently in most places. People are opportunistic omnivores and it would make sense for them to be ab

I'm not sure how much of IE & Safari's recent quality is dues to this competition. But if it is as much as I suspect, they already have. An interesting result will be if we have 4-5 significant players + mobile variations + (maybe) netb

In fact, I think that on HN a sethgodin post is more likely to piss people off. BTW, I think that it's a bad sign how quickly these shallow dismissive comments rise to the top here. If you prefer arguments to be presented in a a logical for

I suppose this is related to previous unemployment level. So they are worse off relatively to usual. It's also a question of what unemployment does to you financially or psychologically. At 55, the damage from 6 months off the books could b

Completely true about apple vs msft. I'm not sure I agree about the furniture implication. Maybe practically nobody cares about furniture, but the suppliers do. If they sell 90% of all office furniture at a great margin, they are a successf

I think you're right. I have neither myself. I use an old phone with a black and white screen that has a contact book and makes calls so I am blissfully not opinionated. I like that there are different platforms taking different approaches.

People fill in blanks. It's silly and often wrong. But it can be right too. Contrasting makers & managers in that context with the other little clues hint at the pre agreed up division lines in a pre existing debate. You could stir up t
