upvoting this. I seriously couldn't care less about EVO 4G or iPhone. But I loath and fear manipulative media like nothing in the world.

On the other hand, the story is not upvoted to the top of HN for no reason.

The tool's great! Let's hope you have not collected all my data when I ran it. I also checked out this link on your homepage: http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/109538/7-things... It says leaving your full birth date is not reco

oh, this is brilliant: Yet, the net amount of money that's been made by the shareholders of airlines since Kitty Hawk, is now a negative figure—a substantial negative figure. Competition was so intense that, once it was unleashed by deregu

You start with wikipedia, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation The question is how exactly are guys like Munger and Buffet using this to choose stock. I'm missing some obvious link apparently.

(on typography) I find the little hash signs (#) at the paragprahs' ends to be disturbing when reading: I always think for a split second I missed a starting quotation mark somewhere.

I like how the screenshots show a typical webbrowsing session: your main browser hidden, only the gmail message compose window visible and neatly sized-down so there's space for the folder window on the left.

Say what you want about the article, but there's one really nice thing about his system: because there's a formula instead of negotiation, the good hackers who are often poor negotiators don't have to worry they have lower salary than the a

So the really smart people find a job in the meantime, the not as smart are DOA for the interviewers/committees. I've always suspected the majority of engineers actually got in together with a business Google had acquired rather than being

Please start throwing rocks at me, but I can also see a much simpler explanation behind the numbers than those constructed in the post. Just don't throw rocks at OkCupid, it's their job to analyze the numbers and match all those people in t

I certainly didn't mean it that way. What I'd like to know is whether one is overall better off with the analytical/western medicine or the complex-view approach of the eastern.

Out of curiosity: how many of you guys here consider the traditional Chinese medicine valid? (by valid I mean "possibly having positive healing outcomes beyond the placebo effect")

That's right, he does not. But you can live in a smaller apartment or live in an apartment of the same size with more empty space which arguably is better if you ever plan to do anything creative there. Or just spend better quality time rel

I often think about this. And of one more hidden cost of stuff, especially furniture: it occupies space in a place you pay rent for for. If that sofa takes 2 square meters out of my 40 square meters apartment, that means every 20th rent I p

It distracted me enough to go check HN, just out of curiosity how others like it -- so it's at least 30 seconds or so. I personally don't like it because the apple falls over the search bar when I type there.
