i think he means it more along the lines of the "unfortunate" meaning of the word. and it is, kind of. it doesn't seem to fall in line with HNers expectations of articles. there isn't any content. it is just a "lol look at this" submissi

the project seems to be stagnant right now. i love the idea, but what i would prefer is the establishment of a community where people would come to live and work remotely, instead of buying an island primarily to create a resort on it for v

i'll answer this, although this probably isn't a good place to have asked. HN is filled with karma-based features. one of those is down-voting. you're not given access to down-voting comments until you reach a certain level of karma yours

i understand the purpose, of course. but if i were job hunting, unless there were something special about a particular job, i wouldn't even bother to negotiate with them if they low-balled me. i'd just move on. and thus, the employer lose

even if you do manage to lie successfully, it still makes a tough situation. you might over-inflate your salary and discount yourself as a potential hire altogether. i know a guy whose first job as a high school intern paid more than most

yeah, but the "drop a big box on it" technique has been proven to not work many times in the past. i did some shoddy research that leads me to believe that its never worked. seems like they should just cut to the solutions that have a bet

question: why didn't they try this first before they tried the "drop a big box on it" method? seems like a much more sensible solution.

yeah, me too. i hate blackboard. everyone does. but this thing isn't nearly fully featured enough (yet?) to be anything more than a blip.

i'd assume that we could build something smarter than run-of-the-mill single celled organisms, which would be the important thing.

nice. well, we're not alone here, at least. there are a good number of fencers. mcantor, dkellner, dzlobin, dfranke, nuba, warwick, and others.

yep, a good bout. you're also one of greg's kids aren't you? just to round it out with videos of the other weapons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXQkdFQ6Upc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJGG8gR7mlI

well, i can tell you right now that my followed and following lists were both just now wiped out, and using the accept bug now produces an internal server error. edit: seems everyone is at 0/0, but the bug still produces an error for me.

so you're proposing that if someone doesn't like software bugs that they should stop using software? that would be mighty difficult, as software and their potential bugs are present in most every facet of modern life.

agreed, specifically about HN. it seems to have gotten much worse as of late. probably attracting a larger crowd nowadays, since more people are migrating here.

if you don't like an article, flag it. if enough people flag it, it'll go away.

yeah, it does. the auction wasn't a good idea either. they might be good at what they do, just not good at distribution/monetization/etc..

i agree that they're presenting it beyond their original intent, but i'd also point out that they've been striving for a business model as a pure information source, just to keep the lights on, and it hasn't been working out. this might be

interestingly enough, for a while i lived in a place that didn't have mail on saturdays. i now live in a place that delivers and picks up mail twice a day, including saturdays. i don't notice any difference.
