I don't find that to be the case either. Anecdotal, obviously, but I've worked for companies that range in size and I never add anyone from work on Facebook. Same goes for my wife. We joined Facebook in the early days when you nee

I once tried drop shipping but the prices I was getting were worse than Amazon prices. I would have gotten better margins if I had just ordered on Amazon and shipped it to my customer. That said, this was for video games, which are already

Why is caps lock your friend? I can't think of any situation where it'd be more useful than another key such as ESC or my personal preference, CTRL.

I actually use jj for the same thing. It's so much better than using ESC.

The thing I've found to be really effective at learning "what you don't know"is pairing with other more experienced vim users. You'll see some wizardry occur and you can ask them how they did it. I consider myself a

Normally I don't like comments that are just jokes, but this one was too perfect. Well done. And to add just a slight bit more substance to my comment, while I was reading through all the comments here my wife asked why I was laughing

Basing all of your management decisions purely on statistics is a bad strategy. You're assuming that the weighting of good vs. bad candidate is the same, when they're not. Hiring a good employee is not nearly as impactful as hirin

Reddit can be seen almost as an anonymous fork to some degree. Obviously it doesn't share the same network concepts, but the spirit of anonymous information sharing is there.

This works really well for me: 1) Meditation in the form of working out: The key here is the meditation. Having regular times that you clear your mind and focus on nothing but what you're doing helps focus in other areas of life. My pe

None of the ancestor comments are in the spirit of HN. They're much closer to the kind of comments found on Reddit. See: "The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: both

The comparison that is being made is the direction your thumb points when your fingers wrap in a particular direction. It's not merely giving it a name - it's specifically likening the vector to the relative orientation of your fi

The point is that it's not a convention - it's a metaphor, as hnriot pointed out.

I once read something that Tim Ferriss had said in response to a similar question. I'm heavily paraphrasing, but he was basically asked how he had so much more discipline than most others. He responded by saying that he doesn't ha

At my alma mater, we had a club named "Player's Club". Only the sketchiest of people ever went there, and thus the business suffered. One year, they made a single change - they renamed it "Indigo". Without changing

As accurate as it may be, it's terrible from a PR standpoint. The grandmother next door will be less likely to adopt its use if she associates it with darkness/nefariousness. You may be OK with it and understand its true meaning

I'm saying that Mayor Bloomberg has been highly proactive in pushing the tech and startup sector forward. It would be hard to deny that he's partially responsible for fostering the growth that's occurred in NYC. I don't

I haven't looked into any research about this, but anecdotally I find this to not be true. Having peaked at 215 lbs. and ~12% body fat at 5' 11", (I'm now closer to 195 lbs. and ~10% body fat) I'd say that I'm

My alarm does 10 minutes regardless of how long I take to wake up. In other words, if I set the alarm at 8:00am, wake up and hit snooze at 8:03am, the alarm will still go off again at 8:10am, not 8:12am. For a digital alarm clock, it seems

Speaking from my own experience, the NYC startup community is large and very active. I'm hoping this growth continues after we get a new mayor in.

Wish I could downvote this. Snark like this is toxic and is neither useful nor interesting. A lot of folks reading sensationalist articles about the PC market decline are making the conclusion that nobody likes or uses PC's anymore sin

I think it's more because graffiti is, by nature, defacing. So, someone defaced a defacing.

I don't think it was Banksy. Most likely just a guy Banksy hired to sell the pieces.

When it comes to street art/graffiti, the context is just as, if not more, important than the art itself. For example, massive roller paintings on the sides of buildings or pieces on trains are interesting partially because of the dang

The fact that it's easier to port from Linux to Windows, could be great incentive to build for Linux first then port out. As a converted Ubuntu user for the past 1.5 years, I'm rooting for this to happen. I could fully drop Window
