The essay was full of I's and me's. It was a subjective opinion, not something that required a journal abstract to back up the claim.

Sweet, I was quoted in that article. Seeing short squeezes in TSLA and GMCR aftermarket.

I was hospitalized after drinking 2 cans of Monster energy. But I still defend energy drinks. My hospitalization was due to too much caffeine that exacerbated a pre-existing bout of pericarditis-- the actual cause was most likely an infecti

Pretty sure "wanna get away" is trademarked by Southwest Airlines. Overall, great layout.

Maybe a ranking mechanism? That way you can knock out a "bestof" section for the day, week, month and so on. Amazing idea.

I don't want to be the one to say it, but it hasn't yet been mentioned in this thread. If the author was named Henry instead of Heather, this wouldn't make front page or have a comment thread full of white knights. That doesn't make the cri

Why the fuck do we see this complaint pop up on HN every quarter?

Sounds like you became politically aware right around the time Bush got elected. A quick run through American history would show that the executive branch has pulled off some crazy stuff in the past. Executive order 9066 comes to mind. This

With the current legislature, a local vocal group of constituents is a much more effective means of citizen-government communication than an internet survey that takes 30 seconds to contribute to.

>"I put the $20 in his hand to defuse the situation as fast as possible, but I had a hammer in my hand just in case." Well that could have ended poorly.

As with many other supplements, the devil's in the dosage.

Love the rundown of how well you're doing! Since HN comments are a haven for unsolicited advice, here's a few things from me: $100 per email seems really high for mailchimp on a list of 5k. Looking at their pricing they have a monthly rate

Funny, if you actually sampled an entire trading day, you would hear the "drop" around 2PM. There are some traders that use sound alerts when trading short term, either using alerts on the NYSE TICK, or aggregating when certain companies ar

I would recommend easyvideoplayer as an alternative to vimeo. Your videos are hosted on Amazon S3 and you can control where your video can be played.

Flagged. This should not be on the front page. It provides no value unless you want to read a SV tabloid article.

I am offended by your dismissal of the institution from which I graduated. David Cohen, cofounder of Techstars, came out of UCF. Alan Eustace, SVP of Knowledge at google, came out of UCF. I came out of UCF, and I do pretty well. UCF is a sc

There is a cost- liquidity and slippage are not accounted by most.

Support becomes an upsell. I've seen that model used in a lot of software I've bought, seems to work very well.

Yup. That's why I moved to my own products and have affiliates work for me, as the stuff I create can't be replicated.

In this case, it isn't. Sharing would remove their competitive edge.

This will test my theory that the success of a product launch is directly tied to how many HN users hate it.

Hey no worries. This is my kind of "hacking" so I thought I'd put it out there.

If anyone actually is interested in a trade here... The option market was pricing in about a 12% move. Today we got a 15% down-move. This means that anyone who was short puts either has to cover or they have to sell stock to reduce risk. No

I have taken it to an extreme and got a dd-wrt router that easily blocks websites through both time of day and mac address. My wife is the one that knows the password.

Nobody has yet mentioned the absolute drubbing that tech/semi stocks in general have taken. Sure there's some company issues but don't forget market correlations that occur when an entire sector takes a hit.

Problem here is I have to go to the site every time I want to check for drink specials. Why not some sort of push interface? I've had this idea in the past, where people sign up to your SMS "newsletter" that lets them know about the best dr
