I drifted over to HN from reddit (and pre-meltdown digg before that). While I had previously considered reddit comments to be 'higher brow' than those at digg, I have found the gap to HN to be substantially wider. Not so much in terms of gr

Learning and adapting is a great thing. However, history shows us that real progress is made by societies made up of co-operating specialist elements. One person can certainly be mediocre at the range from Photoshop through to MySQL and jQu

I wonder if the Hyperloop is a maglev propulsion system contained within a vacuum tube? That would essentially be space travel - on earth. It would also allow for efficient use of energy, as long as the vacuum could be easily maintained.

Credit where it's due: out of all the hundreds of Paypal horror stories, this is the first time I have ever seen a reasonable, let alone personable, response come from that nebulous digital beast. Fair play to the new CEO, he has won back
