When David Wetherell, of CMGI fame, bought Alta Vista and was driving it to the IPO, I remember telling him urgently that Google was eating AV lunch. He just brushed me off, as if I was telling him nonsense. Same fate with Lycos and if you

I am a "freelancer". I have discovered that billing by the hour is the worst idea. It creates the inherent conflict. Clients start resenting how much time it took you, etc. Instead always bill per job, unless impossible to estimat

Honest argument about these issues is no longer possible on HN or elsewhere on the Net. People immediately move into ideological formations and the rational conversation falls away. The down-votes and up-votes have nothing to do with conten

Here are my comments. There is too much color in the tab and bookmarks bars. It should fade with focus on the content. The icons are too contrasting, the outlive around the folders is too harsh. I don't think they changed the icons de

No changes to the interface again! Will not go back to FF till they take graphic design seriously.

But is it fair to the Americans who lost jobs, manufacturing, future, because of the 20 years of "technology transfer" by China?

An engineer or an architects is responsible for life safety, structure, etc. All carry a substantial liability insurance. What could be a pitfall for a realtor if there is above the board transaction?

icons, text, bookmarks bar, all seem unpolished, to the point it prevents me from using it.

In fact traditional industries had many workers that were "high skilled" craftsmen. They might not had a degree but were "high skilled". It is these craftsmen that were systematically replaced in the market by the low sk

Zillow CEO argument falls on it's face. If this was such an important transaction, buyers would chose top dollar firms across the board, contractors, architects, masons, etc. Yet the fact all these survive the most competitive, bottom

I don't have a FB app on my phone, I have a FB account that has no posts. I look at it occasionally to track my "likes". Last week I was a conference in downtown Boston. I have no connection to the conference, I was there to

I sometimes feel that people who comment here of the Chinese spying stories are the Chinese agents. First comment is always dismissing the story. Is anyone at HN looking where the comments originate?
