I'm assuming the average HN reader can assess the risk of trying something unusual out. Since we are, after all, talking about this community.

If they don't use Linux, I wonder how long it will take them to have something productive for the average worker. I mean, Android took a decade to be usable, was built by one of the most talented and rich company on earth. Yet it is st

You can often read it on HN actually. Quite often you'll see people offering word-of-mouth solution to a problem, and the comments following will dismiss it for being pseudo-science, request "link to studies", etc. Too much o
