No. 1.025^16=1.48 - that's the reinvestment scenario. What you describe, no reinvestment, is just 2.5%*16=40%.

This is a question, how can it be factual? And how many of the stories that make HN front page are actually "factual"? The fact that you disabled flagging for some stories shows that you do care about the perception of censorship

I moved to NYC with my 4 young kids. NYC is a great place for kids as long as you can afford the rent. We sold our cars, get most of what we need delivered, and walk or bike pretty much everywhere. All the kids activities are at walking dis

Many of these buildings are in truly breathtaking locations... but depressingly isolated. The most beautiful I have visited: The John Deere HQ (featured in the article) is almost worth the trip to Moline, IL https://www.google.co

I am not following Soylent closely but the message/vision it marketed initially was to replace all our food needs with Soylent. If that's not disruption, what is?

by pesenti 10y ago
The article makes a very simple point: some things are not worth disrupting - as in fundamentally changing/optimizing/modernizing - and sometime the disruption can make things much worse. Food is an example of that. The 50-80s saw

I disagree because this community has a tendency to ignore other "soft" problems (like gender equality or diversity in tech) that are very relevant and important. If we keep it too narrow, then there is no hope to ever solve them.

Ask HN: Is flagging down YC/Thiel/Trump stories on HN a form of censorship?

So a handful of users can decide to bury a subject even though a great majority of HN users find it useful? This post is within the HN guidelines (it's not about politics it's about HN processes).

by pesenti 10y ago
To the HN mods. Now how do you explain that this post got flagged and removed...?

by pesenti 10y ago
And this one got flagged again despite making it to the front page too with many points.

by pesenti 10y ago
The story has been submitted multiple times to HN but each time it was flagged and removed. Let's hope this one stays up. It already made it once to the front page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12716514 with man

Given that Thiel is one of the most prominent figure in the tech world + a YC advisor this is a valid tech story.

That's not true. California enforces non-compete related to the sale of a company (section 16601 - http://law.onecle.com/california/business/16601.html ).

No way. That's a deliberate choice of words and the parallel is actually pretty striking. From Wikipedia: > In the 19th century, manifest destiny was a widely held belief in the United States that its settlers were destined to expan

To call people monkeys because they didn't accomplish as much as Mark Zuckerberg? Yes it's very wrong! And ironic given that MySpace had a much better exit and impact than FriendFeed (the company created by the partner quoted)

This quote from a YC Partner: > It’s all about founders. Facebook had Mark Zuckerberg, and MySpace had a bunch of monkeys. The kind of ubermensch/Ayn Rand rhetoric that makes me cringe.
