Just as I'm hesitant to take advice from a personal trainer who has never worked out, I'm hesitant to take advice on starting a business from a guy who has never started a business. While I agree that info products and affiliate m

I think that's the point. The author sees himself as PIH. He doesn't care about changing the world and sees SG as silly. The article is a satire of Startup Guy.

I don't think there's any real value in HN points, so you're basically asking if it's worthy of something worthless. It's just an indicator of interest by the HN community, not a gift of any worth. That being said,

I think this is actually a really interesting parallel. They're both virtual currencies, but one carries actual legal risk and the other doesn't. The question is, are they really all that different?

Came here to say exactly this. I can only hope their "form over function" mentality does not transfer over to the product itself.

Since everyone in EVE is primarily competing against each other, this type of information is often kept close to the chest and used as leverage against others.

Nobody said anything about a massive time investment. When I said "take the time to explore and learn", I just meant somebody who does it, as opposed to someone who doesn't. In my opinion, putting options in a game for people

You are correct, but not forgiven. Sometimes I wonder why no mistake may go uncorrected on the internet...

One of the nice things about not having documentation is that only those that take the time to explore and learn can exploit the feature. On the contrary, when documentation exists, not reading it would put you at a disadvantage.

I believe the article mentioned femtosecond laser writing. I don't know how much data gets written in each pulse though.

One of my best friends is NYPD working in the projects in Brownsville NY, one of the most dangerous cities in NYC. From the stories he tells me, he is fighting a war. Of course, that's not applicable to most other areas, but it'

I used to be a volunteer junior firefighter as a teen (many of Long Island's fire departments are volunteer based). Fire engines were sent out on emergency calls because many times the situation calls for tools and equipment that ambul

I suppose I was fortunate that the time that I started my Mechanical Engineering degree had coincided with a transition to a general "idgaf" attitude about my grades.

I'm going to guess that Twitch.tv's integration into the Xbox One played a significant role in this: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/10/twitch-streaming-integrate...

It's surprising you don't see the contradiction in saying that the open network of the internet is vastly different than our modern walled gardens, but then saying that our open real-world is comparable to the same walled gardens.

Do you have any evidence that Google Voice records phone calls without a user's explicit permission? I was never referring to voicemails (which are rarely used these days anyway). I also don't see how you can make the argument tha

I comment on Glass articles because I'm very excited about it. I don't comment on NSA articles because I personally don't find it to be an issue and I know I'll be burned at the stake and deemed an idiot for even conside

What a ridiculous slippery-slope assertion. The same argument could be said for the telephone - "Inevitably some company will offer discounts in exchange for random recordings of your phone calls. Everyone will sign up for that and the

I don't know if I'm in the minority, but I don't really care if people have Glass on around me. People have cameras with them at all times these days due to smartphones. The fact that it's not attached to their head is n

I'm always amazed at how much anti-Glass sentiment I see in the tech community. I personally think it's going to be amazing. The best analogy I can think of is the heads-up display (HUD) in video games. The current use cases shown

Truthfully I don't remember for sure, but I used external services just as @Lexarius mentioned. I didn't write it myself at the time.

Geocities was great before this happened. I was on Geocities before it was acquired by Yahoo and it was literally just static HTML sites. Guestbooks, hit counters, etc. were all just added into your HTML without special tags.

I'm undecided on the issue, however it seems completely logical to me that terrorists wouldn't use venues that are being monitored by the NSA. Would that still be the case if those lines of communications weren't monitored at

I think Nathan's got the meaning of the phrase mixed up. The idea isn't to promise your standard output and then run yourself into the ground trying to exceed that. The "under-promise" part means that you promise less th

I don't believe that's true. You don't get charged sales tax multiple times just because you're moving your property to another state. That being said, I doubt a low volume car constitutes any significant amount of tax r

The important distinction here is that dealerships don't constitute direct sales since they are not owned nor operated by the manufacturer. The question @pedrocr posed was why would it be necessary for Tesla to begin working with third

How is the Apple Store an analogy to Tesla establishing dealerships? As far as I know, Apple Stores are owned and operated directly by Apple and are thus direct sales, while dealerships are third-parties/franchisees that buy from the m

I don't believe Steam has their crazy sales with the primary focus being on undercutting competition. Generally, the sales are for slightly older games (1 year or older). These games have likely seen a dramatic drop in sales. Even as l
