The increased demand only matters if it lasts. I suspect pump & dump. Just wait, it will plummet soon when the puppet masters sell their bitcoins.

I configured an LG smart tv while over my girlfriend's uncle's house on easter. I found the user experience quite frustrating. My biggest peeve was the OSD keyboard. When using the number pad, numbers on the remote did not have any effect (

Most businesses will optimize for profit within the parameters they are given. That's why workers need to have unions. Supply-side economics do have a grain of truth to them, a very small one. The problem is they are "trickle down" and ther

Your post is inaccurate on two levels: 1. You assume because a "korean immigrant" can do something, that it must not be intractable (hard). Immigrant entrepreneurs are usually highly motivated, especially the kind who start small businesses

How is it a case of regulation failure? If there were no regulation, all the defective cabs would still be on the road right now.

This is just a side note, but on april 2 every cab in my city was suspended from service for safety violations. http://www.wmur.com/news/nh-news/All-Manchester-taxis-suspen... The taxi industry is not a good thing to leave unregulated.

Nope, I don't have it. Are you Canadian? Maybe it's a Canada thing? Doing it to tell you about your data allowance is a bit excessive, for sure.

Agreed. There is also scientific research that proves white noise can help. Good instrumental music is not far off from that.

I was the same way. I could not concentrate on anything until I started programming. I was told I had ADD before but I did not believe it. There might be scientific research proving the existence of ADD, but in diagnosing ADD the same rigor

Thank you! It is very obvious that this is a flawed study to begin with as it's being conducted by a company with a very obvious conflict of interest. For example, I hadn't heard of "atheist" shoes until now... PR stunt? Possibly! The USPS

There's no sort of demand in the article. The advice there is to be a passive observer of human behavior rather than getting angry and engaging in flamewars. Given the current climate I see on HN, this advice is spot on.

Sure, perhaps we should also station TSA outside every retailer and have them search our bags. That sounds like a privacy nightmare.

So, you're comfortable with just trusting the government to tell you what you owe? I'd prefer to check the math myself.

It could be that way... I doubt it though. I don't believe anyone is that innately talented. Try picking up a few musical instruments that you don't know how to play. Genius is learned, not inborn. You need to be lucky enough to win a certa

Talent is a function of experience. It's not that you shouldn't hire for experience - you should. The problem is that the model most people have for quantifying experience is flawed. As it says in the article, 5 years of experience for one

Evil is a totally relative term. Google probably thinks they are being benevolent by taking an anti-weapons stance. I'd be inclined to disagree...

Unfortunately, when approaching an issue like this you cannot do so without adopting a sexist viewpoint yourself. To begin to analyze workers in terms of sex or gender to begin with, itself is sexist, the same way that affirmative action is

That's a great point, but it's only a definition. Being a definition in an economics text (in this case, just a website) doesn't make it automatically correct. It needs to be proven by research.
