Do you have a specific market of consumers you want to target? A while ago there was large thread on Reddit asking anyone who had eaten at the Olive Garden in Times Square, why [1] they had chosen to eat there. There were people who though

Think deeply about your father. Reflect on times when he's been funniest, had the most fun, and why you admire him. From this perspective think about how you would want to talk about this article. Maybe ask about his opinion on some of

Only if Amazon got that reputation in the broader market. Otherwise, manufacturers would potentially benefit from retailers having a more difficult time claiming ignorance about which items in their warehouses are fake.

Isn't "land reform" just a euphemism though? Whereas there is an intrinsic value to stable property laws, there is always a competing trend toward changing the rules of ownership after the fact, in order to optimize for a spe

Generally speaking real estate law probably is not constant anywhere over any significant period of time. Even without a revolution, looking just at the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in England[1], it is possible to see how small detai

I know that on HN it often can not be left unsaid that the financial industry has a net benefit on the economy and on society, but I don't think it can be easily assumed that the cost of complying with such regulation makes the banking

I use RStudio with `knitr` when it is the wrong tool, because it is just too easy to make something that is easy to read and people think I put a lot of effort into formatting. I do have a few templates that I use so that the text isn'

Riding without a helmet is not universally legal in the US. In the past there was pressure from the federal government on state governments to enact more universal laws about wearing helmets. Now many states only require that young riders w

Why on earth is the entire last paragraph devoted to Lawrence Krauss’s musings on philosophy? It may represent a widespread attitude found among physicists, but not one many people with a background in both disciplines shares. In physics fo

No. You also do not have standing to sue a company for decreasing the resale value of your property by releasing a new model. There absolutely can be social utility in remedying structural unemployment, but we are not in an economic system

I wonder how the em-dash has avoided this. It seems to just fade into the writing and make the phrases sound like the writer wanted them to sound. Both ellipses and semicolons carry far too much baggage with them, and make a lot of people h

Sized up to population/GDP it is also something like the cost of two London Olympics, or for the US maybe $120B. Being able to say you possess the world's biggest island probably is not worth $400 per citizen (which is before fact

I wish you could have personal blacklists of sellers so they don't appear in your own search results. Many years ago I avoided leaving negative feedback on a seller that agreeably accepted a return on stuff that was obviously counterfe

I think the past norm was for sellers to leave positive feedback when they received money, and for buyers to leave positive feedback when they received a product that was accurately described. I have had good experiences buying and selling

The comment didn't include a good metric of whether the author knows what he is talking about. How do his funds perform in bad markets? That is an important part of diversifying a portfolio. Funds that outperform the market in good mar

Sky Guide is really good. You can go outside in the middle of the day and see all of the stars that are too dim to outshine the blue sky. It always did this, but the horizon is taken from your camera and surroundings now, so it is much more

If a people and their state have decided that a million cars are beneficial enough to cost 100 statistical deaths through pollution, it isn’t up to executives at the manufacturer to decide that they really meant 200 deaths. It’s the same wi
