What the others said. I had similar experiences for basically the first 10 years of my visits to SF - I never really got beyond the Moscone Center / The W Hotel / 3rd Street and that 10-square-block area was my impression of SF.

I have to agree. I've lost interest, which is disappointing. I was really psyched to try it out when they announced what now seems like ages ago. Then the ship date kept slipping and slipping and slipping, until the magic moment was

To add to this a bit, because it's not explicitly mentioned in this article (but I recall reading about this previously): > “With their no vote, 17 members of the Senate chose to protect billion-dollar industry profits over the safe

As a newbie to all of this stuff (and yet still reading through this thread trying to keep up), thank you. This was the clearest explanation & summary I've read.

Indeed. But it is the title of the article, no? Otherwise, maybe "The Male Deficit Model"? (which, I suppose, is linkbaity in its own way)

This seems great - simple, better terms, higher valuation. Kudos @sama and YC. Stepping back a bit, it's also a sign of the times -- especially given the tone of the last paragraph, it's clear there's pricing pressure on inc

This is very non-scientific and anecdotal, but perhaps worth mentioning: The reaction of "regularfolk" to AirBNB feels very negative. I'm a very active host of a single unit in NYC (and have had a remarkably positive experie

These kind of projects are awesome. They may seem "pointless" or "a waste of time" to some PHB-types but they're a wonderful showcase of a great, true-hacker culture and I bet they do a ton for morale. I hope that

Good piece, and makes sense, but some examples would be helpful -- there's a lot of talk about foods engineered to taste like protein but that have carbs. Anyone have some examples? Chicken and Beef are, in their un-seasoned form, pre

I can see both sides of this coin. On the one hand, the positive use case is actually pretty helpful -- I _would_ like to know if I'm at a bar and, for example, some friends are in the back that I might have otherwise missed. But on t

Please pardon if this is a stupid question/comment as I'm not a PR professional: My first reaction to searching a phrase for my industry was "great!" -- I found 5 articles written by reporters over the past few months. M

I'm guessing the following is either near-impossible or pure-impossible, but: Is there a tool that allows you to highlight portions of a string and generate a corresponding regex? (i.e. the inverse of RegExr)

Totally. That episode is one of my favorite TALs ever (second to 'Summer Camp', which despite having been done in the 90s is still totally relevant). In fact, I used a lot of the knowledge from '129 cars' to help with a

The fundamental problem I have with Yelp is that it's full of opinions, not reviews, and people are allowed to post a star rating essentially in a vacuum, which then gets averaged against other star ratings to form a ranking. "Th

As a newbie programmer (self-taught), I've asked the same question a lot lately. I think to some extent it's a matter of habit -- I've learned the most about my ever-improving (but still limited) abilities during the few time

I use traditional QuickBooks, but I hate it. Problem is switching cost is too high at the moment (when isn't it though). I'm happy to see that most others aren't using it. It's really a miserable piece of software and is

Yet another example of competition working out well for the consumer. Innovation, price drops, etc. Can you imagine a world where consumer broadband had the same level of competition? Sigh...a nerd can dream...

As a newbie to the node.js world, there seems to be a lot of talk about the MEAN stack ( http://mean.io ). What do you (or others) suggest as a good replacement for MongoDB in that stack?

I'm guessing because concentrated O2 is extremely flammable and would be fuel for a fire, when the opposite would be needed. Rapid fire-suppressant systems basically work by sucking all of the oxygen from the room/space as quickly

Great answer(s)! (To you and other repliers -- thanks everyone.) Makes sense. Not one single big thing (i.e. AWS for web companies), but a really great example of one industry benefitting and emerging because of cost improvements and adva
