I've just signed up on odesk as a freelance programmer. Do you think it will scare people away if I say that my English skill is 3 stars out of 5 ? I'm afraid people aren't willing to work with guys who are not fluent in English... By the w

I think you have some good points but I disagree with what you think this man deserves (disclaimer : I'm an opponent to death penalty and it's even illegal in my country), his actions will have very serious consequences, and he acted stupid

I predict that in a few years there will be commercial softwares to determine the date of an audio file, or if the cheating husband was indeed in the country he pretends, shortly followed by softwares to remove that information. There's a m

I loved Primer. But The man from Earth was just boring, I don't get why so many people liked it. Bad actors, the hero claims are either dull or ridiculous (I laughed a lot when he pretended to be J.), and most important of all, not surprisi

This article gave me the wrong impression that introverts are geniuses. They are not, I know, I'm an introvert. Of course a lot a people here are going to say that this article rocks, because I guess many people on HN are introverts. I see

"it’s ok for me to be ignorant about how to lay down a good interface, because I’m a right side of the brain kind of person." I think he meant "left side of the brain". Does he ?

"Alternatively, you could try writing awful science fiction novels and hiring a ton of lawyers. I hear that also works these days." Off-topic but I disagree : Battlefield Earth was a good book. And terrible movie.

How is it relevant to this article ? You're criticizing the public education, and you may have some good points, but I still don't see any reason to stop paying taxes for it. Maybe some pay for two educations, but I'm sure the economic and

What's interesting is that there are people willing to pay millions to have a piece of art that they can't show to anybody or brag about it. I guess these people are true art lovers.

I don't really see the point of this article. Of course some people who were rejected get successful, and some who get into Harvard don't, it's not like it was possible to predict anyone success with 100 % accuracy. It would be interresting

But who will make this extension ? Who will pay 5 millions $ each year to use H264 on Firefox ? If H264 become standard, every browser will have to pay the license fee. What if a new team of developers decide that all browsers sucks and the
