Here are some other facts about the two companies: Yesterday, APPL closed at 112.71, and GOOG at 362.74. I still think getting positive publicity about a product makes that product more likely to succeed, and that there's not much harm in

Very interesting proposal here... though I think having the consumer do an http request to get the "link" from HEAD is a bit too much to ask, for a few reasons: * It takes bandwidth * It's (presumably) before a pageload, and is blocking...

I completely agree. Just imagine Google announcing these same services... I would think that there'd be a massive amount of "Google Will Soon Host All the Internet" articles, and other such grandiose things. Like you said, Amazon is one o

Has anybody has been to a conference like this before? Was it worth the price-tag ($300-500)? Anybody going to this?

Very, very cool. Kind of like the Obama promise-keeper website that I thought was cool, but then promptly forgot about. I'd like to suggest a couple of features, without which I probably will promptly forget this site as well: 1) E-m

Chatterous is really cool. I don't mind the blog layout, form follows function. What I do much mind is lack of a link to chatterous.com from the blog. So annoying.

I borrowed a "handwriting analysis for dummies" book from a friend, on a whim after skimming through it. It was just after reading a couple of Feynmann books, which is why I can so eloquently classify handwriting analysis as a "cargo cult

Here's a summary of the "experiment": * hook 24 college students to brain-scanner-majigs. * given them an economic problem.. the better they do, the more they get rewarded * have some of them do it on their own. * have some of the

I have to disagree with you here. I've found the vast majority of what I was taught followed a progression from the basics, up towards more advanced stuff, and included the "revelations" in between. There wasn't much stuff pulled out of t

For verbatim text, please add an "overflow: hidden;" style attribute of the "<code>" element. Non-breaking spaces break the entire page: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=513183

It would ultimately depend on how the interview would go. I'm not sure she's so much an ass kisser as she is just really excited about the company. But I agree, giddiness and dog-like loyalty definitely do not impress me as much as useful

I'd still want to interview her. Even if she's crazy, she could be the right kind of crazy.

Yes... execute admin to the CEO: http://www.twittershouldhireme.com/executive-admin-to-the-ce... I think what she's doing is great. While she may seem a bit "unhinged," as the currently top rated comment says, I'd at least interview her.

Very nice looking pages, and I like the concept. Very well done so far, I think you're in the right direction. That being said, I'm better at finding things wrong with stuff than right , so here's my feedback. I thought the "Try it Now

I think it's pretty amazing that you'd have to have a 52ft x 52ft monitor to display all of the addresses in IPv4... and that 88% of the pixels on the screen would represent a device hooked up to the internet, right now .

That doesn't seem like much of an improvement over what already works, other than the namespacing. Is there a reason they chose the attribute "data-whatever" to map to "dataset.whatever" instead of just "data.whatever"? I can create my ow

Since you seem to know a lot about HTML5, and I don't have the inclination to browse through and ingest it all, maybe you could answer this: will there be support for defining custom attributes, and will these attributes allowed be JSON ob

I was looking through the legal documents just to get a sense of what technically happens when a corporation issues a new type of stock. Thanks for sharing these documents. Not sure if this is relevant, but http://ycombinator.com/seriesaa

3-5 years ago I registered "pissesmeoff.com" with the same idea. Write about things that piss you off, vote up/down. I was in school so I never got around to it. Domain expired. Now (expectedly) is squatted.

This was really awesome to watch, for a few reasons. I've never seen PG in person or on video. Based on his essays and comments I was expecting someone, for some reason, with a beard.. and maybe a medium-paced speaker with nothing in parti
