I felt it hard to read this post with an accusatory finger constantly pointing in my face. While I do agree with the point of the piece to an extent, I can't say I agree with the delivery. I found myself on the defensive even though I've ta

The way I see it, HN doesn't need any sort of canon. I think it would only hurt new ideas. We shouldn't be shoveling the latest by PG or 37 Signals (not that all their stuff isn't wonderful). We should be looking for the next great topic, b

It's interesting that AT&T isn't disputing the lack of 3G coverage claim. Instead, they're stretching to say Verizon was implying something else with clearly-labeled maps. Pretty inane. I doubt they'll win. It reflects pretty badly on t

Great idea! I'd love to see some more front-end work on the site. You guys need a logo for sure.

How does this article get so in-depth without mentioning a nuclear winter? The real fear of nuclear war is societal collapse, radiation being everywhere, and the ensuing nuclear winter, which (according to some) could wipe out humanity. Not

Pretty neat- used to do this with a b&w copier when I was on the newspaper staff back in high school. We had stuff like giant pictures of David Letterman up on the wall. None of it really made sense but it was funny to us. Gonna try it

I always cock an eyebrow when I'm at the mall (usually dragged along) and I look around and see that everything has the same 25% off tag. Of course, it should also be noted that 50 bucks was way too high of a price for L4D in the first plac

Looks like that was forbidden in the rules... it had to have its actual URL in it.

If you define a troll as someone who contributes nothing, then I guess I can't disagree with you. Todd's definition was a bit broader, though, and seemed to include those who expressed a negative opinion in a harsh way. Of course, the word

Random and funny isn't too far off the mark. Certainly there'd be big companies that were successful. Anyone that could put out a lot for cheap would be a big brand for sure, especially soon after legalization. But as far as actual brand su

Expanding on this is the concept of panspermia, life spreading across worlds on its own. For all we know, the building blocks of life could be older than the Earth itself. So, aside from playing by the same rules, different forms of life on

Machines have a lot of disadvantages that aren't readily apparent. Machines have to build collection systems or mine energy sources to thrive. We live on stuff that grows out of dirt-- that's pretty handy. Of course, machines could become m

I hope their market isn't women. Most women won't step on to a scale if there are other people in the house, much less if it's broadcasting. That said, I'd use this if I were trying to gain again. Seems like it'd be a great tool for staying

I'd recommend against using "kick-ass" on the homepage. Save the attitude for the blog.

It's always inspiring to hear a story of someone who acknowledges his problems, buckles down, and works through it. Even better when it's a couple. Marriages go into meltdown mode every day for things a lot smaller than this.

Interns get the benefit of experience. They get to meet people. They get to try out an industry without actually committing to a full-time job. The LinkedIn translators wouldn't have gotten any of that. It's one thing to sample a career wit

If they want free work done, they should post to craigslist like all the other sleazy companies do. I'm glad there's a backlash against this.

My theory on it is something between "pack" benefit and "individual" benefit. I believe that depression is beneficial to pack hunters. It goes like this: Operating in groups offers a great advantage. If a member of the group is lost, howeve

They need a secondary goal. "Getting it out to the public" is incredibly vague. One of these would work: 1) Inspire high school kids to pursue a career in engineering 2) Get younger kids excited about the space program 3) Recording the note

I wonder how long sites like turnitin.com will take to respond to this, if it becomes widespread. If I were a professor (I've said this too many times-- maybe it's time for a career change) I'd seriously freak out if a student pulled this c

I tend to agree with the article here. There might be some immediate, apparent benefits to just showing the password, but in the long run a hidden password is helping the user more. It's frustrating to mistype a password and not realize it,
