This is a terrible, stupid, idea and will never work. Ever. In addition to the myriad other problems, the logistics alone of keeping that ship at sea, and keeping everyone fed, healthy, and sane for months if not years on end will doom this

> "I Don’t Consider [The iPhone] To Be A Technological Breakthrough" Isn't this essentially a strawman, since no one is claiming that the iPhone is a Technological Breakthrough? At the time the iPhone came out, lots of people noted that

Aren't there countless websites out there with no Flash and only HTML/Javascript/CSS that have atrocious hover-state-based interfaces that are completely unusable on a touch screen device? Why deal with hover-state-based interfaces differen

I would accept the battery life argument if Apple did not allow games in the App Store that drained the battery very quickly. Why is it acceptable (for users/Apple/Steve Jobs) for iOS games to drain the battery but not acceptable for Flash

But this is simply pushing the question further up the food chain. That is, the question becomes: Why did Jobs find it acceptable to have iOS games on the iPhone that kill the battery within an hour, but found it unacceptable to have Flash

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look. As for the following: > "As Steve Jobs put it: “Flash was designed for PCs using mice” Well, HTML was also initially designed for PCs using mice, but it has managed to evolve to the new era of smar

I think one of the main problems with HN is the way comments are displayed on the page. Essentially, the way things are set up, every thread becomes ossified after while. It becomes this stagnant, rigid, structure that doesn't change much w

Isn't this like having a function that explains very well data that is within an observable range, and then stating with confidence that that function also applies to data in a range that is unobservable to you? Yes, that function may hold

As you mention, when I posted this, that thread was not that old. Also, I went through several pages of HN threads, and ended up on pages where the threads where much older and had fewer points than that thread, and yet that thread was nowh

Interesting that people seem to be interested in this issue but no explanations yet. Maybe I should have titled this "Ask PG: ..."

It's entertaining, but the thing that struck me most after reading that "conversation" is how far we still have to go in AI. That can also be taken as good news, ie there is still a lot to be done/discovered in this interesting and very dif

Also on a related note, I created a Greasemonkey script that allows you to navigate through the comments chronologically, using the right and left arrow keys. It helps with the problem that, once a thread becomes mature, it's hard to find t

Curious what you guys think of this, since Facebook and the loss of privacy get discussed a lot here on HN. Basically, I noticed that the life that we seem to be heading towards (where due to face recognition everyone we meet on the street

Apparently, the expression is 'sortition' not 'sortation'. wisty has a link to the relevant Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition , and a Google search for 'sortition' yields quite a few results.

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't know that Gerrymandering had not-so-pure origins. Maybe I'll remove that example from the article. EDIT: Removed Gerrymandering example.

I love the idea that electing representatives every X years to decide the laws of the land may not be the best way forward, and a new approach that takes into account modern technology may be a better way to go about this. However, based on

Sorry, I was just using the colloquial meaning of hack. Did not at all mean to appear derogatory for the type of hacking exemplified by HN, of which I take part in. In any case, I do see your point about similarities between hacking and ove
