On a touch screen, so I accidentally upvoted you. Your comment perfectly embodies everything I hate about the Bay Area, and recently HN. The smugness seems very ignorant; so many people have convinced themselves that they are smarter than

I agree with what you're saying, but apparently most of HN enjoys this sort of content :(

This seems like really cool service. I don't think the name "Sold" is a smart choice, however. It quickly gets confusing in a "Who's on First" sort of way when talking about this service in conversation.

All Surface reviews read like this. "It's pretty good, except for this long list of things that are terrible about it."

It's cute that someone made this in response to the New Yorker piece. San Francisco always wants to feel like it's one of the big guys like NYC. If anything, this transit/income data shows how little of a correlation there is between the t

Where is SF do you live? Everyone I know in the Mission speaks of rampant car break-ins and there are broken car windows all over the place. People literally shit on the streets.

Isn't a municipal zoning board an example of "people deciding"?

The real problem with HN is that everyone here is very insecure. Whenever anyone does anything remotely cool or unusual, there's always a boatload of comments crapping on their achievement. 193 countries? That's not impressive; he probabl

This is just like any highly-selective admissions process. They (Stanford, but it could be any Ivy, or a company like Google) has accepted the fact that they will turn down many good candidates. It doesn't really matter as they can't acce

Sounds like a shitty work place, and she was a woman. Those guys sound like assholes. She should find another job; not everything in "tech" is like this. I don't feel this way at my current position.

Even if the result of this study is accurate, the point is irrelevant. Piracy cannot be stopped, and eventually free methods of consuming content will become so prevalent that content creators will be forced to adopted entirely new busines

This may seem like a really dumb question, but how is this different than just buying bitcoins as an investment? I don't understand what a hedge fund is. If I choose to invest in bitcoin, why would I want to be forced to buy $100,000 and

For those on a mobile device (the "Join the Conversation" feature wasn't working for me on my phone), here is the top comment at time of writing this. User 'spm' writes: I think people are missing the larger point these type of graphs show

That six degrees of desperation bullshit was cringe inducing. Edit: I meant separation, but desperation is funnier.

Mega-cities on the West Coast? Portland and Vancouver are mega-cities? San Francisco and Seattle are not mega-cities either. It's really funny how things can look so differently depending on where you sit.
