I've heard malthusian idiots espouse this bullshit every single year since I was in first grade - I'm amazed anyone listens to them any more

I don't know about everyone else, but based on the shady content stealing and black hat SEO tactics used by Mahalo, I think Calacanis is a major league douche.

"I can’t afford any of the houses I grew up in — and it’s not like my dad is a millionaire or anything; he’s a professor just like me. Identical social standing. The difference: I am poorer than he was. My children will be poorer than me."

I'd agree that I'm not stoked about government mandating the usage of programing languages, but for financial data I'm not surprised that they'd try to mandate python. It is my understanding that python is heavily used in investment banking

I'm not a very religious person, but I've done some light research and here is what I came up with as being the difference between violence in the Koran versus Bible. This an extreme paraphrasation and may be wrong, but this is how I unders

I know this has been posted on HN before, but I figured since it was Earth Day it would be interesting bring up again. I especially like his recommendation that climate science adopts double-blind experimentation in order to test their mode

I don't have the time to double check this hypothesis, I'd feel fairly confident that after reviewing the titles of the journals that these articles were published in, that the bulk of the authors are not climatologists, but rather have exp

I've had really good luck with switching most of the shortcuts I use to use ALT instead of CTRL. ALT is much easier to reach with your left hand than CTRL.

If my Japanese classes from high school serves me correctly, the translation of "bakadesuyo" means "idiot indeed" or its a forceful way of saying "idiot".

I think another reason why robotic limbs have a tendency to look unnatural is that often they'll move at a constant rate of speed - unlike an actual limbs that accelerate, move at X speed, then decelerate. This is important for UI designers

Don't get me wrong, starting is certainly important, the problem lies in that most people have a drawer full of half finished products/projects. I think this is because of the maxim: "The first 90% of a software project takes 90% of the tim

from the article: As Fried and Hansson write, "The most important thing is to begin." I disagree, I think the most important step is to finish/release. I can't tell you how many products I've begun. But after a year and half, I've finally

There is an awesome show that aired on A&E (I think) called "Masterminds", it only ran for a couple of years, but you can still catch re-runs of it. Most of the criminals they profile are like Blanchard - they steal a lot of money and
