Is it just me, or does reducing the cost of submitting articles simply increase the noise on the 'new' page, and push off good articles at an even head spinning rate? I've written about this before, that I feel we should revisit the idea of

Is anyone else getting awesome flashbacks to Christopher Walken's film Brainstorm? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorm_(1983_film) One scene was how they continually used "microchips" to shrink the size of the headset.

I think what he says has a lot of truth, and the word 'amoral' doesn't get enough association with successful business'. But at the same time, I think he's painting with very broad strokes, when he essentially implies that to be a successfu

I wish I could down vote or delete this article. Regardless of the creator's intentions, there are a lot of non-techie people on HN (like one of my co-workers) who used this site to check their linkedin password. It reinforces fatal securit

Thanks for the detailed response. At my current work place everyone rotates through support as well (dev, sales, ops), and I agree with you: the only way to make these kinds of things work is with an exceptionally strong culture, and not co

I wonder if they face the challenge of who has to deal with the less popular things that need to get done. And at what point resentment might kick in. The whole thing seems like it can work until there's one bad apple or one miscommunicatio

From my experience with CV, one of the biggest unsolved problems and rarely publicized aspect of the field is how much variable tuning is often required to get good results. I'm curious how sensitive these demos are to different environment

Sure. Probably most relevant in terms of this forum is a book 'Artificial Life' by Steven Levy. By itself, there's nothing wrong with this book. It's very interesting, and I would actually recommend this if anyone is interested in the subje

At the risk of being slightly off topic: people rarely discuss the fact that reading a book can have a negative impact on one's life. Books are just a materialization of ideas, and they can be good or bad. They can steer you down a promisin

In some countries there's less of a taboo in showing graphic war imagery than the US, and I don't think it's made them wiser. The injustice is when one small segment of your population endures the horror while the rest glorifies and romanti
