8-9 hours sleep? Try just sleeping less... (you might even live longer as a result)! http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1812420,00.ht... http://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/15/us/study-ties-6-7-hours-of...

Well, I'd already read (and enjoyed) this article outside of Hacker News, so when I saw it on the home page I was quite surprised as the article has no reference to technology, start ups or business in general. With that said (& in case

Quite off topic, but well worth reading nonetheless. So often we live out lives with the subconscious belief that we'll be happy when ...[insert big goal]. The reality is though, if we can't learn to be happy with our imperfect lives as th

I had no idea this was a New Zealand founded company until I saw this as news on the NZ Herald website. Great to see a Kiwi tech startup seeing this kind of success!

Yeah, I'm thinking of deleting the FB app on my phone. It's just a temptation to constantly check what's happening and stop being present with whoever I'm around.

"I work from home and I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with my kids." That's crazy impressive. I tried working from home and was only ever productive if I worked till early in the morning. Daytime productivity was terrible with 2 little

Yeah this doesn't work at all if you live outside USA. The post code for Auckland CBD (in New Zealand) is 1010. So if I try http://zip.elevenbasetwo.com/?zip=1010 It gives: {"country": "US", "state": "MA", "city": "BRIMFIELD"}

Pair is actually quite a cool idea, never heard of it before now. Couples like to hang out with other couples, so there might be revenue potential in the idea as well...

What I like about rubymonk is it tells you what it expected when you give a wrong answer. Codeacademy on the other hand just informs you that you were wrong and gives an extra hint (can be annoying if you perhaps, didn't understand the que

"What doesn't make it any easier is that I'm 20" Dude! You've got your whole life ahead of you, go make MORE mistakes, lots more. Ultimately though don't give up. If you're not sure what you want to do, go get a job (any job) and go back

The majority of people (that I know) with iPads are using them for consuming content or playing games - something they could easily do for $300 less with a Amazon Fire. No 3G, not much storage space, lower resolution (as soon as Apple relea

Looks like a great easy-to-use service, but not one that I expect hackers would use. Why wouldn't you just host your video on Amazon S3 and play them back on your website using something like JW FLV Player? That solution would cost about 1

Yeah it sucks, buying Apple products in NZ puts you in the same situation. 11 inch MacBook Air (64GB) = US$999 (which should convert to NZ$1,169.46 using the current exchange rate). In NZ we've got a 15% GST (sales) tax, but that should onl

You're considerably limited as far as customisation goes if you go for a Wordpress.com blog. IMO if you want a hosted solution go with Tumblr, if you want a self-hosted solution go with WordPress (www.wordpress.org, not .com). You can custo
