   I also almost left without looking closely because of the disabled demo link. I look forward to the demo, because from my subsequent cursory glance, this may be exactly what I need for a non-profit project I'm working on.

   I think people in tech are a bit myopic regarding college. Traditional undergraduate programming education does seem very antiquated because the practice of programming lends itself to autodidactism. This is less true in other areas of ed

   While I completely agree that this is unacceptable and applaud facebook for their attempt at protecting users, there is a bit of irony in this move. Wasn't it Zuckerberg who has repeatedly expressed the idea that privacy is no longer a soci

   If this story was deleted based by PG because the conversation devolved pretty quickly, that's reasonable; if this story was deleted automatically based on some large number of people flagging it, that's pretty damn interesting in the conte

   Coincidentally, I'm building a github recommendation service as a SNA research project. You may be aware, but for those who are not, GitHub actually had a NetFlix-style recommendation contest in 2009. https://github.com/blog/466-the-2009-g

    Startup idea for someone? I know YC funded http://www.co2stats.com/ to "Green Certify" a website. "Fair trade" labels work for selling some higher-end products. I would probably lend my attention to advertisers and advertising networks th

    He prefers it to blackboard. It's a very idiosyncratic preference, IMO. I'm pretty sure I could refuse and he would have to oblige me; however, maintaining a facebook account with 1 friend isn't a big problem.

    Perhaps expand the options? Like you, I had but then deleted my facebook account; however, a professor of my grad school class requires one, so I created a temporary account.

    I think it can be generalized even further. It's not only software, but general IT-related services. There is some mental bias that assumes servicing virtual goods is some combination of easy, straight-forward, or without costs. Even friend

    A few years ago, posting on HN felt like posting to a small community. Reputation and civility seemed to matter a lot. When people posted something offensive or rude, they were sanctioned to the point that they would often delete the offend

    99% is an the annualized rate . There have been a few stocks with > 100% borrow rate. It implies most of the shorters don't expect to hold for a year (or don't realize the costs.)
