Never thought I'd see Harbor Springs on HackerNews; I spent most of my adolescent summers up there. I'd love to visit Coolhouse while I'm up!

Crassus, I accept your challenge to an open debate about how the government should endorse relations between consenting adults. My view as of a couple years ago, which has changed somewhat, is freely available online under my legal name, Jo

Suggesting a sales or marketing employee operate solely on commission w/o equity in a startup isn't a great way to gauge their confidence. It's a good way to ensure good sales people run away. With a new product (or with an o

You think that it would be the polite thing to do for reporters not to pursue him. I agree with you. I think where we differ is with the respect to the obligation of journalists. Journalists are in the business of finding out information th

If you find this topic interesting, Robert Nozick's "Invariances: The Structure of the Objective World" explores how this fact should affect epistemology and ethics. It's a tough book but it's worth your time.

Since I just moved to the Bay and spend a lot of time alone, the article really resonated with me. I'm all of these things except heterosexual. As as adult, I'm also not readily identifiable as homosexual. But as a kid my perceive

Hey, recent U of M grad here. Go talk to the Center for Entrepreneurship in the Duderstadt. Tell them what's up and you might get a grant. Shoot me an email at jmbirnho at umich . edu and tell me how it goes.

I just started working at Mobileworks. I know we are sometimes are in need of remote developers to fulfill our client's needs. Drop me an email (it's in my profile). No guarantee doc, but I'll ask tomorrow!

Whelp, you're right. My point stands but that was stupid.

I see the value in providing an alternative to press sycophancy. But Valleywag doesn't solve this problem. An alternative would include substantive long form reportage, not capsmashing screeds. They're right sometimes in identifyi

This is very silly. I'm serious about pitching in on MHacks though. I have entirely too much time on my hands post BitBox.

Yeah. Bitcoin's a great way to bump cash between people. That said, there's so much $ being poured into different mobile payment methods that I'd be hesitant to call it the clear front runner. Also, you still haven't cal

You've caught on that I was pretty disappointed with it at the time. I appreciate the reassurance, and I feel confident in the truth of my answer.

This is awesome, so very awesome. Scott McCloud's written a lot of real intelligent stuff about microtransaction/digital currency programs, and implicit in that, why they haven't worked out in the past. I'm hesitant to s

Hey! I adore Quartz and read it daily. Though I've done UX testing and (the non-coding side of) design for a couple companies (one YC startup, one Boost, the second being my own), I don't think I'm qualified to work as a visu

You're a kind soul. The login was rather convoluted, and it implored me to keep re-registering my book. So I wound up with three registrations of my book. The system didn't record when I completed a practice test or quiz, so I cou

Hey! I talked to someone at the Bitcoin Conference about something similar, I think at the Hackathon. Was that you? Props on all your work. Since you've asked, I would say you should wait on using real bitcoins.

Hey! I think you have a phenomenal idea. I worked in the bitcoin space for a while (cofounded an exchange), and this was a proposal that often came up. so awesome to see someone actually building it. Could I convince you to send me an email

I met Simon at the Bitcoin Conference. He kept calling Adam Draper, the fellow administering the Hackathon, "the Draper boy." He tried to hire my friend and it was weird.

So awesome. It's not appropriate to post to Hacker News, but if anyone's interested in reading a funny, lay-person friendly commentary on the economics and ethics of cognition enhancing surgery and technology, I've got a real

Haha, oh goodness. It seems an apology is actually due. Sorry, pjbrunet-- I thought your remark quite mean-spirited on the first go. But I'm delighted to know my interpretation was incorrect!
