The point you make about design of the 787 is fitting. Many of us can appreciate its awe inspiring technological splendor. However, one does have to wonder if it's possible, that this feeling could be overly motivating your defense of Boein

Well crafted demo and UX. Nicely done folks. On a side note: I found the submit to mailing list input to be non-functioning on mobile Safari (but possibly other browsers)

Interesting that you should pick up on that. It usually depends on the audience. In general if one has a slightly more divergent worldview than that of the company in which he/she finds themselves, it's historically been useful (albeit frus

Thanks. In general I find articulating the conceptual stream to be a challenge, especially since it jumps around disjointedly. Usually it takes a few iterations of a post, to improve the quality or tone, even though from my perspective, the

Kudos for a thoughtful gesture from O'Reilly. It does make one wonder, has openness in Government increased under the current administration or not? While the reality might remain elusive, my sense is, at a minimum, the perception of open

It's kind of depressing, that promoting phoniness and deception, is elevated to the top of HN as a cool 'hack'. Seriously? What ever happened to.. I don't know.. honor and integrity ? While not all are guilty, it does appear somewhat hyp

This does appear to be a disturbing trend. I recall reading articles in the NYT derived from Quora answers. While it may in the short-term produce increased traffic, it may become harder to maintain quality, as minimally vetted 3rd party co

You raise a really interesting point here, and it seems there may be an opportunism vs principles dynamic at play. Without debating the orthogonality of that assumption, (because it really won't change the overall point), let me begin by sa
