Good intent with the article. But the lead: "I threw up in my mouth a little bit"--comn man. Really?

I remember those from elementary school! They were a huge fad and all the cool kids had em. They quickly got replaced by the palm pilot (in coolness). Funny how middle school fads and tech seem to have so much in common...

I think their PR department made a drastically clever move. Why is that sinister? I didn't get the sense that FB spun the story--someone in the HR department of that company messed up. When the story broke FB knocked their legal response ou

I understand what the author's saying and I think (not being as experienced as some on HN) that he's got a bit of a point. But boy, if you're gonna call out a man with metals on his jacket, you better have something to back it up. Or a leas

I use Do Not Track +. I'd be curious to see if there's someone with a technical background who has a preference based on experience.

Been reading his blog for a while and was wondering what he was up to. I'm wondering if they have plans for any social features--couchsurfing for startups. It'd be tricky as hell due to NDAs, but with referrals acting as the vetting it coul

I actually kind of like that there's no phones--it keeps the people around you from talking your ear off for hours while you're trapped next to them. But I believe it really is a "Because I said so" kind of deal.

High five to google for a green solution!

There are three things in life that make people act funny: drugs, women (or men, you get the point), and money. They don't act rationally or human, and you should be prepared. that being said, wow.

Sometimes when I have a great big idea, I do this too. But I mainly do think while brainstorming outloud. When I do this to my co-founder, sometimes he'll say "I get it, you don't need to try to sell me on it." In reality, I'm not, I'm just

Why would you even consider this question? I know why you would, but on a deeper level, spending time on this is not healthy or constructive. Maybe you can't ever be at your best. Maybe you'll always improve, no matter how long you train. I

I respect the balls of Steam. This is something that could have gone horribly, horribly wrong.

I suppose my point is: how do you know what's a mistake until something works AND doesn't work? Point counterpoint, right?

I love the intent, but find it doesn't work for me so well. I find my best writing comes an hour or so in after immersion into the rhythm of what I'm writing. I'm just not warmed up at 8am. I like to start my day with a moment of silence, e

"Education is the wisdom wrung from failure." I really couldn't disagree with this more. No doubt, failure is important in learning. However, to be educated or have an education, at the end of the day, you need to get something right. Perso

I've said this for a long time. Your project should carry a bit of you and what inspires you with it--if not a whole lot. It is your job to share that light with others. It is vital to remember that you don't need to do it alone. Ideas natu

You should love what you do. Idealistic, I know. But if you don't get up in the morning and don't feel a certain level of gut certainty that you like doing this, regardless of success, than re-evaluate. The passion for what you do will lead

Neat idea. Nevertheless, I believe that a good news source, like a good community, sometimes gives you things that you might not like--things that challenge the filters we already have. It's what flipping though a regular newspaper does, wh

Somebody just submitted one hell of a job application. If I was AirBnB, I'd take note and action.
