I didn't read the article in is entirety, but one line popped out at me, where one of the finalists says something like "Yeah! Girl power!" Am I the only one who feels like, although men may 'dominate' the hard sciences, one of the reasons

Am I the only one who typed "cd overview" instead of just "overview"?

Maybe people like this exist, but I have never worked with anyone like this before. The ones actually building startups and raising VC money are better than this... I hope

This is very interesting to me, as a computer science student, who does "techie" things like code a take a lot of technical classes, yet always been considered (or considered myself) a "artistic" person. When I was younger, my best subjects

One of the main selling points of Apple FaceTime was that the front cam was positioned in such a way that the video call made it look like the two callers were looking at each other directly, rather than looking at a screen, which made the

This was terrible. Their past AFD jokes (Gmail paper, Gmail custom time) were so much funnier, or at least more convincing.

So, I'm confused about this one. Actually, I read about this somewhere else a few days earlier, and its been bugging me since... Wasn't the big thing about Color that they didn't use GPS to pinpoint you? They had some cool tech (that appare

This is true, but its also true that a lot of times these bots will get to these articles first, and then because they come from a well-known or respected domain, they just get tons of upvotes anyways. There's two separate problems: too muc

Another sensationalist headline with no real data to back up a big claim. For all we know, it could very well be true; for all we know, it could be far from the truth. It probably is. Besides, wouldn't you think they call several companies

I actually like this quite a bit. Straightforward and short, but for a student like me who really loves working at startups, its a good refresher on what makes a compelling candidate for startups that are recruiting. I've only had two posit

At this point, I don't even care any more. Not to be a whiner, but I don't find this very Hacker News -esque. Nothing to do with hacking, just a bunch of bloggers pointing fingers at each other.

I do agree with this quote from the article: "it is in the interest of the conference and contest organizers, and the participating researchers, to get publicity for their findings - and journalists, who do not necessarily have a holistic v

No, he isn't comparing the two, he's grouping them together. Watching a piano player, meeting him and getting his autograph, _even_ read a book. (roughly paraphrased). I think he's trying to point out that besides "just reading the book" (a

I think I'm fairly ambivalent about whether a sans-serif or a serif is used, but I do think the font should be smaller. Also, a less contrasting color scheme than red-grey

Sorry, but i'm not sure i find your "readable" hacker news more readable than the default layout. Might be because I don't mind reading small text, and can't bear scrolling. Also find the font and color choices iffy. That being said, I thin

Nice idea, I like being able to claim my username as opposed to having to wait, but having to refer 3 friends to a service i know practically about? Probably not worth the trouble. Similar to what Hipster started, and now seems like a commo
