There seems to be a value judgement here: that curvy and uniquely shaped streets are superior in some way. This can be decided with objective evidence: look at how city districts flourish, and see whether it is related to the shape of the

Right, Apple bought P.A. Semi, and assuming that those guys stuck around after Apple switched from PowerPC to Intel, Apple has a proven CPU devel team.

Statwing is doing it right: it is super easy to navigate to their home page from the blog, by clicking on their prominent logo, which brings you directly to their main page.

Your reply couldn't have been a better demonstration of the author's point. When I noticed the length of your reply, and its tone, I stopped reading it. I have limited time, and I could tell that you weren't considering the audience's lim

This type of stuff happened leading up to the bubble. Somehow the knowledge didn't successfully transfer from the people burned then to those getting burned now. Fuckedcompany.com sure tried.

Mobile browsers can help matters by letting you override the user agent (e.g., with a desktop user agent), to stop sites from redirecting you to their horrible mobile versions.

Something doesn't make sense. From the ambiguity of your description, it sounds as though you own the code, and that you had no formal business relationship with Sparrow, and that you accepted no money from Sparrow (it is really strange th

The American dream is (or was?) to own a mansion in the suburbs, living in isolation. I wonder whether the people living in this environment change their American-dream target to something more communal. Maybe some hope to find it at work,

Balmer and the other managers aren't the only ones at fault for bad bureaucracy --- the employees that live with the system against their better judgement, rather than leave or fight, are also responsible.

I'm excited about Metro. I've hated every one of my Windows experiences to date. So I'm in a different boat from most people, who are probably upset about the changes, which will require learning something new with dubious benefits. But

Regarding your experience with the condescending interviewer: I had a similar experience in my last job-interviewing round, and got really pissed, but tried to stay polite and answer the question. This doesn't work though: I spent the whol

What's up with the down voting? The score is now so low that you have to play with the screen contrast to read the comment. Does it enhance the quality of Hacker News when we can't read a side of the argument? This is judgmental crap, not

But that real democracy won't air Assange's show. Btw, our real democracy harasses people who are critical of the US gov. E.g., see David House.

The mainstream press in America is very pro America. They don't air lots of news pieces that would paint a critical picture of the US. Is it any surprise that Assange's show is not aired by the mainstream press? How is RT's slant towards R

I find it ironic that he writes this as a rant, which is an anti-pattern for influencing people. One of his commenters hints at how it might have been better presented: introduce messaging systems, explain how they solve the problem, and d

Another company blog without a link to the company home page. I had to manually type your company URL to try to learn what this is all about. It is absurd how common this is.

It doesn't sound like it is tunneled within SSH --- rather, it uses SSH as a sign-in method to launch mosh's own protocol handler that uses its own socket. Once mosh launches, ssh exits. Since it uses ssh for authentication, it has elimina

Paul Goodman published "Growing Up Absurd" in 1960. I wonder how much of our secret sauce is based on people trying to escape the absurdity of their environments --- would we have a Silicon Valley if people felt comfortable and happy remai

Sure he has disdain for the bad design that is Android, but he objectively has described why that is so over the years. That he dislikes Android, which clearly has a different design approach to Apple and Microsoft, doesn't make him a fan b

He does original thinking. This includes analysis and synthesis. Additionally, he practices good journalism. He is one of the few people that I read routinely --- I don't read him because he is about Apple, but because of his original thin

And as often as your wallet can afford the trip --- travel by boat isn't cheap. I noticed that they didn't mention the cost of the boat taxi; either it is a free shuttle, partially subsidized, or in worst case you'll cover the actual cost

Thanks. That particular example is about children under two years. Do you have anything for older children? Under two years falls in my category of being neurologically unprepared to deal with the stimuli from TV. But what about at 4, o

I'm happy that their business model is designed around lower market share, with higher quality product, but I don't see how they will lose market share in tablets. There just isn't anything comparable for the whole experience of using the
