jerryji, sorry to hear about your plight. Yes, the immigration system is full of inane/arbitrary rules and decision-makers. However, we are on hacker news after all. By definition us hackers are folks who are able to make rules and sys

Wow. Thanks to Wikipedia, I've finally understood the mysterious slugging percentage. Sorry, not a huge baseball fan.

On a related note - anyone familiar with the Berkeley area care to share some tips about housing (places/buildings to avoid, where all the free-wifi coffee houses are, etc)? Please drop me an email at me [at] euwyn.com

If you can't explain an idea in a sentence or two it's general appeal is likely quite limited. The basic premise is sound, but why can't I just buy something from Ztail and then have an option to return it a year later directly to them for

Really depends on the type of startup your running. Is it just developing technology? Then that can be easily done nights, weekends (and overnights). But if your startup involves significant operational work, dealing with customers or me

If all Wolfram will be spitting back is an answer, I'm wondering how the user will determine the answer's correctness. Will there be a "proof" of some sort, or a list of references for the underlying facts and assumptions. With informatio

For the budget conscious - having to commit a set figure each month might not be an appealing option (they're already locked into rent, electric bills, etc). For the not-so-budget conscious, the discount might not be worth the effort to se

For whatever reason, I'm a little fearful of flying, so wifi will be a more than welcome distraction/time waster. On the other, I do see the point about losing the one last place where you're truly free out of contact. I see this change a

Neat concept, but I'm pretty impressed by how the design turned out. Credit should go to Stomp in this case, looks like they executed the concept quite well. Goalies are a special bunch -- I suppose spending more than half your time stand

Along the same lines (or perhaps deeper into the legal gray area), try swoopo.com. Everyone pays to bid, and the one highest bidder walks away with the item at a pretty low price, but the "house" ends up with a lot more. Shady.
