Haha, like I said, I too have been surprised at the general lack of negative feedback this has been getting when I have brought it up to family, friends, acquaintances, etc.

My lifestyle is pretty great right now, but it has changed and improved remarkably throughout the years. I have found that at about $30K a month in spending money, is more money than I need, even in the most expensive cities (as long as I’m

I totally get what you are saying and I'm glad for the effort they put in, but... I'd almost rather see a 1-1 mapping of controllers to piano keys and see people hacking on the piano, to see how good Street Fighter play correspond

Hi Michael, I think you need to pick a specific goal that will make you happy and make your life better and work towards that. We can learn, just to learn, but maybe you would be happier if what you learned had a direct impact on your life.

So, I have a Ph.D. and I always ask myself why I got it, because now I just build websites. Basically, what I feel like I got most out of it, was that it was a good life, that I ended up really enjoying. I did theory and I felt like my pro

This just happened to me with a parody video I created. I created all the music from scratch and obviously rewrote all the lyrics. And UMG review my video and said that it was indeed their property. So, I can not run ads against the vide

Me either, exact same setup. This happened to me on http://keepvid.com as well; that site runs on a java plugin as well. I'm happy that it isn't just me (I was actually scanning the comments to see if anyone ran into this problem), but I

So would it be ok to copy a site/game that doesn't have much traction if you have a better distribution channel and can get the copy traction? In this case the original creator isn't hurt at all and actually may benefit. Would you consider

But doing what you described with the paper, certainly would be considered cheating by a university. But, what is morally wrong about that? What makes the university rules, the correct rules to act by? Certainly, if you choose to go to a

There are tons of comments saying that copying these games is wrong and imoral, but no one is explaining why it is so wrong and imoral. Please explain to me why, because I literally don't get why it is so wrong and imoral. Disclaimer: I do

The most innovation and the largest growth in distribution for video in the modern world has been in the many professional YouTube channels that exist. EpicMealTime, FreddieW, RealAnnoyingOrange, have literally millions or fans that watch

Nice, sounds good. Funny, I always worry about the timing of sending emails. Got to get over that one, ha. I sent one email out, I guess I have two more to do.

Ha, the timing of this is pretty funny. I have had a start-up in LA for the last year, in the entertainment industry. I spend time in the professional YouTube community (like freddiew, annoyingorange) and spend a lot of my free time meeti

It is a twelve minute video; a minute comercial is less than 10% of the overall time. It really isn't that unreasonable, in my opinion. Watching a minute commercial on the internet is a good way to support video on the web.

In reading the comments it looks like I'm in the complete minority here, but I think this was impressive. People are mentioning that there will possibly be problems with the hotel, or a story of how a similarly constructed hotel failed in o

YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. Not using them for your embedded videos (and getting the extra views on your site that will launch you higher in search) could be a mistake for many businesses. If you want to preve

Honestly, it seems really relevant to me. The idea is great, a lot of people will end up using it and it has a cute/wow factor. It also servers as a reminder that the Internet loves kittens and other ridiculous things. It is important to

I think the point that it was a she and not he is particularly important. I also think the point that the original commenter missed this point is particularly important. Knowing the HN community, that is the reason why the comment got vot

For what it is worth, I feel like a huge part of having a startup is to have some outrageous goal you want to achieve. My goal is to own a pair of dolphins that I keep at my beach house area and ride around around the ocean in my spare tim
