That is of course an assumption I'm making, but one that's come from years of using HN. More recently there was the article about the girl from Pakistan who received technical certification and sadly passed away. There was a good amount of

This submission could not have come at a better time. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been contemplating making a submission urging HNers to be human , and to recognize that everyone else who comments here is also a human , and that s

Writing this on my iPad, so apologies for being terse. 1. Top half is really busy. Ads above and below header image are way too distracting, so the name of the site isn't immediately evident. 2. Ad right above navigation bar is confusing an

Awesome. The One Goal Retreat sounds like a great idea. I'll give it a shot - thanks!

This is a great article. My problem is, however, that I take it to the extreme: I set unrealistic goals for myself seeing as there are about 50 different things I want to learn outside of school. I almost always never meet my goals, and I b

How did you get sarcasm from that post? Kalvin clearly seemed to enjoy the idea, particularly because he/she is currently in a relationship. I am in a long-distance relationship currently and I think "thumb-kissing" and the whole app in gen

Right, so if I built an Augusta National for the public, I'd be considered a scumbag.

So, what's wrong with that? I'd eat at the second restaurant in a heartbeat if getting into the first is too much of a hassle. You would too.

Guys, if someone dangled something in front of you with the initial impression that you could have one, and you wanted it, only later to find out that you actually can't have it and that those who could have it are "intelligent and witty",

I've got the same exact criticism. Additionally, I was so hooked on getting through the exercises that I finished them and repeated them over the span of 3 days, then thought to myself "now what"? That's not to say Codecademy hasn't been us

This guy is my hero, more so than any entrepreneur out there. What always fascinates me about Elon's story is his ability to self-teach himself the subjects he needs to effectively compete in an industry. He literally taught himself rocket

You have basically speculated the intentions of three people, the relationships they have with one another, and the outcome of their company all from this one line. Pretty impressive. It sounds like you've watched The Social Network one too

Congrats on launching! I can sort of relate with trying to pull off ideas on the side in a field completely unrelated to computer science as someone who wasn't bred from a young age to program. It's definitely hard, and I commend you for pu

Come on guys, exercise your imaginative centers a bit. Rainbows are bright, colorful, playful, remind you of sunny days out at the park with your friends. It's not a huge stretch.

If it's of any consolation, I'm in medical school, hating every second of it, and will likely be in your position very soon. I regret not getting into engineering almost every day of my life. Not much help, I know, but know there are others

I've adopted the belief that very, very few people in the startup world were born with a passion, or at least developed one at a very young age. Even those who claimed to have developed such strong interests from a young age that later infl

Bullshit. Utter bullshit. I don't get this angry when commenting here but the disgusting lack of empathy continually expressed on HN really, really gets to me. If you truly felt sorry for the girl, for her family, considered her family's pr

As someone who runs a site to help those who are feeling depressed and runs it with what seems to be a genuine level of concern and caring for those the site intends to help, this seems like a really fucking bizarre comment to make.

What do you guys get out of your smart-ass answers to potential clients? You do know that they come to you because they know that you are the professionals. Many of them are completely clueless as to how pricing works for dev/design-work.
