I was doing my pre-sleep reading of HN on my iPad and got out of bed and on my computer to thank you and tell you that I'm very happy you guys have the balls to say no and choose what's best over the public opinion. You guys have made caugh

For people who've read 'A New Kind of Science' on here...what did you think of it? I find that people's opinions of the book are quite polarized either they found it fascinating or were put-off by Wolfram's self-congratulating. So what does

People who want to be Politicians disgust me. Good politicians don't want to be Politicians, they want to be because they know that they're the best one for the job, making things better for themselves and for others. The problem is that th

Other than the money they have, they don't have __anything__ that anyone else has. An idea? Who hasn't thought of making an (open) social network? They saw an opportunity in recent events surround Facebook and took full advantage. They don'

I don't have children, but if I did I'd have a laissez-faire attitude with them. In this particular case, just because they're fine without it doesn't mean they might enjoy themselves and have better lives (whatever that means) with it. So

First off -- addressing: "Some people say this is what entering adulthood's like, but everyone around me seems to be perfectly fine." Have you spoken to others publicly in this same manner that you have privately, behind your username? Just

I highly doubt that. I think Wolfram and the folks at WRI were just off their rockers when they made that price hoping that they could get some sales at that price and then depending on the reception go from there. That or Wolfram was kiddi

No you're correct, just a typical Mixergy puff-piece line.

I think Chris is mainly writing for the Ruby community; in a talk he gave at RubyConf '09 ( http://tr.im/Rbui ) he talked about things that Python did better than they and one big thing he said was how adamant the Python people are on docum

I have a question: WTF is this doing on Hacker News?
