aranganath strikes me as a reasonable and mature person. But none of the parties involved owe you or HN anything. The issue is between them. If they choose to air their dirty laundry, so be it. But it's not an obligation.

I went to college in Boulder. The first thing I noticed there was that every building seemed to have a telescope on top of it. Lots of tech. Lots of outside. Great place. And they do have the best breakfast. I miss the Village Coffee

Desktop isn't the problem. It's the browser that's the issue.

Amazing and frustrating how much better 3d is on the iPhone than the web.

Probably my favorite PG quote: "Their previous business experience consisted of making "blue boxes" to hack into the phone system, a business with the rare distinction of being both illegal and unprofitable."

I thought that one could use this info to design a better anchor. Couldn't you just recreate the same effect sans sharp edges?

It is really much more pleasant to use an iphone app rather than an in browser app. Not only is the appearance far better, but, I don't have to wait for a button to load. It's there already and I can push and wait rather than, wait, push,

Bike Messenger in DC. Made great money for a HS student. Got to ride bikes all day and use my middle finger a lot. And my boss was just a voice on a walkie talkie. It was one of the best jobs I've ever had. Almost everyone I worked with w

Agreed. If anyone ever pulled that on me I'd walk out on the spot. And my FB page is utterly innocuous.

Tom Wolfe wrote a book called "A Man in Full" that had a very similar character. He said that the formerly wealthy hang on to their private jets harder than anything else. They even went as far as creating fake airline stubs for debt coll

The other day I saw two SF cruisers pulled over busting a guy selling strawberries on the corner. I constantly walk past human shit, used needles and the broken glass of car windows and they're arresting a guy who's doing something useful?

I'd say the iPhone is the mother of all demos. But wave was quite cool.

I was watching the full google wave demo and they said that the functionality similar to etherpad was the hardest thing they did.

The best conversations are those that aren't predictable. Get away from the mundane as fast as possible. You are a unique person, if you hide that uniqueness, you become boring and nobody will want to talk to you. eg: You: "Crazy rain eh?

While no ads is certainly a feature, it seems like a lot of startups I've seen recently are selling "community status" in the form of digital goods. I can't imagine ever paying for such things but it seems to be working quite well for folk

Matt, you might be interested in Thomas Sowell: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/author/thomas_sowe... His entire political philosophy is anchored on the observation that knowledge is dispersed and that no one person's knowledge

Everything I read seemed to draw on experience and common sense rather than psychological theory. But I must confess, it was long and I skimmed halfway through.

I'm utterly lost when it comes to all the categories of coder, engineer, programmer etc. I tend to think of "people who write code" as all being in the same bucket. How well you do that just makes you a better or worse "person who writes

My mom, dad, sister and brother have all separately asked me what the keychain was. I would get many more calls if it was more complicated.
