It's not a hard problem, and it certainly isn't the fault of the individuals tasked with administering a broken and underfunded system. America's elites just aren't interested in solving it. They'd rather pass on in

Nobody shoots up on the sidewalk because it's the best place for that experience; they do it because they don't have a better place to go. The problem isn't the drugs, it's the system that puts addicts on the street, and

If you think I'm the one who brought gender into this, you're either ignorant to the structural realities of our industry, or you're willfully being obtuse. If it's the former, let me be the first to tell you that men ha

If you're working 12 hour days and having trouble with your social life, the problem is _not_ that it's not OK to hit on women in a professional setting. The problem is that you're working too much.

Lots of good advice in the other replies (no screens right before bedtime, create routines, etc) but one thing that I didn't see mentioned yet is that you may have to become more careful about your caffeine intake throughout the day -

The maintainers of Bootstrap have day jobs. Bootstrap is not the day job. Insisting someone maintain your idea of professionalism in what is essentially a public service they perform in their free time is an odd way to spend your free tim

That's a major reason for craigslist's success but not the only reason. Clearly another is network effects. Given that, I wonder whether targeting the largest sales category is a good plan for a competitor -- surely it has to

When I was coming up with quick examples earlier, I was thinking more of packaging than energy costs, and most store-bought bread is wrapped in non-recyclable plastic. I do wish we had the tools and information to make better calculations o

This is only true for certain values of most , and even if it is, has nothing to do with the point that it is possible to arrange one's life so that a car isn't necessary. I won't deny that there are many potential obstacles to the sort of

Except for a practically limitless number of other ways to save money while being more environmentally friendly. For example, buying flour in bulk and making your own bread regularly, or repairing holes in clothes rather than buying new, or

I believe part of GP's point is that, for some sizes of village, there may not be any chance that your counterpart is a stranger. If your counterpart is not a stranger, even if you don't know their exact identity, you might choose to play m

I think that, especially once you start asking for cross-language, cross-framework standards, you're simply asking for the impossible. I know that feeling, wishing some kind of authority could help you determine the One True Way but there i

As a member of that age cohort (but not a founder, much less one funded by YC), I feel qualified to speculate wildly about this! We were exactly the cohort who got facebook off the ground - I joined in March of '04, spring of my freshman ye

Nobody has said this here yet (though it is mentioned in the github comments), so I guess I'll be that guy. Considering that Soundcloud gives uploaders the option to allow downloads, it's a pretty gross violation of the artists' intent to
