Honest question: Lets take a hypothetical worst case scenario. You are admitted to a top school. However, your parents make well over $125k but are for some reason unwilling to provide any contribution. You are responsible for full payme

I have been an owner of the 87-key version for 4 months. Cherry MX. My observations: The keyboard itself is heavy and feels nice. I love the lack of obnoxious branding. The backlight is actually pretty useful and has a few settings for b

Is it worth it to pay $3000 for a generic website name without a clear idea? 'Webflow' isn't even a commonly used term.

I think the supply shortage of soylent initially helped with their marketing and buzz. I wonder if they are now claiming an artificial shortage to try and continue to sustain the illusion.

Fantastic and relevant read. This was surprisingly well written for an NBC or Men's Health article for those who are skeptical.

As an anecdote, the websites did seem to load slow for me. And as a previous commenter has added, I'm not sure a news hub is best suited as a SPA.

Would be interesting to use answers based on relative temperatures rather than absolute measures. It may be be a shorts day in NY if its 60F but not in FL.

Agreed. I especially agree that yellow journalism in particular is a useless distraction. That being said, there is a certain beauty to experiencing things in the moment.

Gfycat[1] provides a slightly hybrid solution. Not sure that it is that effective for sharing though. [1] http://gfycat.com/about#links

I think that genius takes extraordinary intellect but also a penchant for timing. Solve interesting problems, but also at the right time. A way to overcome this is the Erdos approach: have a backlog of problems in your mind and allowed the

I've always been confused as to the success of the computer mouse. It doesn't seem like the ideal solution. Then again, neither do trackpads.

Forgive me if I'm a little behind, but is the official consensus that this was a human error? That the measurements were presented correctly to the crew and that a veteran pilot wouldn't have made these mistakes?

Why is this on hacker news? This is not news, just mindless spam post on a forum.

I would not advise anyone trying to lose weight to go on a 'low carb' diet. While its true that most people need to consume less carbs, a good balance of fats, proteins, and carbs are a part of most healthy diets. Satiation has l

So many things in this article don't add up. First, the finances. Second, the two years of intentional unemployment to bring his family back together. Clearly, that didn't work, and he suffered financially because of that. The

I'm not sure anything in this article should be taken seriously. This piece doesn't even seem to meet the journalistic standard of a mediocre high school newspaper, much less the NY Times. My thoughts: The professors and the write

It will be interesting to see if Microsoft follows a Yahoo like trajectory - and if Apple follows Microsoft's trajectory after a few years of Tim Cook.

Annotation is useful, but might not be able to be monetized like they hope. Personally, I feel that RapGenius falls short when it comes to other current enterprise collaboration methods such as Word or Google Docs.

Someone posted a question on reddit regarding this - it seems like Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) also has a similar program. Though not much information is given here, http://www.reddit.com/r/columbia/comments/1c5lxl/prospective.

Yes, I agree. But why call out something like this page? Surely there are more successful and profitable content farms. Not justifying the behavior, just saying that this example is the 'little guy'.

The article mentions an "epic 400-500 page Powerpoint document" outlining Mohan's strategies. In the rare chance that this is floating around the internet, does anyone know where it would be or more information on it?

Being able to search text is extremely useful. I also find it easier to juggle multiple resources on a computer rather than physical texts. Cross referencing different sections of different books quickly is something I think is an exclusiv
