It seems that many people are intent at proving your original point, which is sad, but not entirely unexpected I guess. Regardless, I agree 100% with this comment of yours. I can't extend the rational to not supporting contraceptives,

Personally, I don't think this is great danger. The urge to have children is tremendously strong - it's primary purpose of our evolutionary dna, after all! Although I'm a father of two, I look around me and I see that we coul

I think your overall style is rather needlessly confrontational. First with OP, and now with me.

by run4_too 13y ago
That's a sound argument, and I agree with it, but I'm having trouble linking that to contraception. You and I are both a result of chance. To the level that your grandparents decided to have sex at 7PM instead of 7AM, and that you

I think it's more likely the person is being honest. I think the positive move would be to encourage him/her to express their rational and provide an example of how HN accepts different conclusions provided there is a logical proc

>I can't. This belittles your argument in a way nobody else could even approach. When someone asks you why you have come to a conclusion, they are looking to understand you. That is automatically counter to your assertion that there

Could I ask why? Would you, for example, ban them in our own society?

The "explosion in an ascii factory" wasn't doing one thing very well at all - make it easy to code. That answers your question, really.

I don't want to speak for YC or their intentions, so perhaps target is the wrong word here, since I doubt they have model that looks to offer to the needs of a particular subset of people and then "sell" to them. That would

That's what I thought. Sounds like an awful lot of tough work for a measly $10K. You could do pretty much the same thing with a law degree and earn a ton more.

I think you are missing cookiecapers main point by focusing on minutiae. YC targets the young male college student demographic, partly because that demographic shares the different components that you two are arguing about. This isn't

Can I offer this unsolicited advice? Don't knock rote mathematics. 'Busy Work' in most other fields is called 'practice'. And like all things, practice is the key to improving a skill. Repetition, memorization and m

I'm not seeing anything worth watching in this list. There's not much unique or different about any of these companies. I'm sure some of them will do well, but personally I'm interested in companies at the least tackling

I think you should take a look at what kind of things have been deemed to be "disparaging" in case law before you make that statement.

by run4_too 13y ago
Here's a simple thing to say to an employer that offers such a clause: Define "disparagement". If anything ever goes to court, from case law it seems to be all based on whether or not an action is "disparaging". So,

The point of fizzbuzz is that it is a ridiculously easy test that any programmer that says they "understand" a language should be able to do, because they would touch things like loops and str manipulation in pretty much every pro

That's not really fizzbuzz, that's more the equivalent of asking a C programmer to write fizzbuzz in assembly (perhaps that's a little too strong a comparison, but you get the idea). Fizzbuzz for websites would be to have som

Value for the world != things I happen to think are worth a lot. Your view is hampered by your ignorance of the definition of the word value. If people are making money (i.e. selling a product or service for a profit) they are by definition
