There definitely is confusion over what constitutes a startup. But I think we can all agree that it's not just any small business. Some people use the definition of small tech company (as you have), but that doesn't meaningfully d

You're thinking that the money to be made in cable is in advertising, which couldn't be further from the truth. Advertising dollars are a supplement to subscription dollars. AMC Networks requires that cable providers (Comcast, RCN

If it caused problems when minifying the code, the problem was with the minifier not parsing correctly - a minifier shouldn't change the way the code is interpreted. I understand that using existing minifiers is a possible reason to us

For all the bad he's done to the world of software? I appreciate that Microsoft illegally bundled a browser with their OS, driving their biggest competitor from the market, and subsequently stalling browser innovation for ~5 years, but

This is where Web Workers [1] come in. You shouldn't be performing background processing in a way that blocks the UI. Heavy lifting like that should be pushed into the background, if it's done on the front-end at all. [1] https:&

I think "do the work of hundreds" is a little bit generous. It does save a little time, but does it really save so much time as to boost productivity 100x?

I don't think that the US invaded Iraq to defend the USD as a world currency - the USD was in no danger despite whatever Saddam was doing. From what I understand, most people believe that the invasion was instigated by Neoconservatives

I think it's a good idea to have a larger portion of lawyers as legislators than the general population - these are the people that are writing laws . Yes, money has too much influence in politics, but the way to fix that is with real

Why is this? I've heard that TM basically has a monopoly on venue ticketing, but what are the barriers to entry for a startup? Is it exclusivity contracts with all the big venues, or something similar for labels? I would think a startu

"He" is commonly used as a gender neutral way of referring to a person of unknown gender. It has also become common to use "she" as gender neutral so as to not be exclusive. I don't think that in this case the autho

It's at 0.2% usage in the US, with similar levels around the world (with the exception of the PRC). Even IE7 is below 1% worldwide at this point. http://www.ie6countdown.com/

Power users can power websites, so long as the website's value isn't (too) dependent on the number of users it has. For example, Dropbox's power users essentially subsidize everyone else's usage. That model may have wo

Exactly - the whole point of lossy compression is to compress it in a way that has a minimal effect on the type of data you're trying to compress while maximizing the compression. Using a compression method on a different data set is u

It only really discussed the challenges from the plane's perspective, not the people on the ground when the plane broke the barrier. The regulations are in place because sonic booms can be not only a nuisance to those on the ground, bu

The American Civil War was largely centered around the issue of slavery, which the economies of the rebelling states relied on. The American Revolutionary War was a response to increased taxes that took a heavy economic burden on the coloni

In my experience hacker has gone from "definitely a criminal" 5-10 years ago to "maybe a criminal" today. When I tell people (not in the tech scene) that I read a site called "Hacker News" they don't assum

Ah so you're saying the government pumping up economic growth artificially won't be able to continue indefinitely. I'd agree: organic economic growth can't cause economic collapse (unless there are serious infrastructure

I disagree. Having one of the most powerful legislative bodies elected by the state governments further concentrates power in the hands of a few. The 17th amendment made this country more democratic, not less, and it hasn't hade too ma

I can't think of an instance of an economy "collapsing under its own weight." China might run into issues with currency manipulation, but aside from that they will be most stable so long as they keep growing at a fast clip. T

I don't think GP was arguing that it would make for an actual legal defense, but instead that when the same light is shone on everyone's activities, it becomes much harder to single out individuals.

Are you trying to say that it's inherently silly to question the integrity of a comedic organization? If so, I'd disagree with you, as many people use comedy as a means to make a point, political and otherwise. I think the success

That's a bad analogy; eating the entire buffet is truly unrealistic (and by that I mean a biological near-impossibility). 37S promised the product "forever", and provided it for 4 months - even if you didn't think "forever" actually meant u
