I'd look within. If you just ask us, you won't actually have the insight. What in life have you personally been frustrated with? What made it frustrating? What it didn't have to be that way? What would the better version of t

For sure. These days people in the 160s range are breaking 400. It's not something advisable from any sort of health perspective, but it is awesome and it's not that risky. http://www.criticalbench.com/Claude-Bou

The data for extreme endurance athletes such as marathoners is mixed. It's very possible that racing at long distances is a risk factor. The data on intense weight-lifting on the other hand is much more conclusive. Heart enargement, ao

Paying someone less who works fewer hours a week is not sexist. Neither is paying someone with less experience less. If you want to highlight discriminatory behavior, you really are better served with an apples-to-apples comparison.

And it completely leaves out Taiwan. It's a developed, democratic country with both a population and PPP GDP on par with Australia. Whatever the political motivations, this is just shoddy scholarship.

From what I've seen Google doesn't really care that much about what external devs want. I've seen multiple videos in which people ask about support for Scala, Python or even Java 8 and in each one the Google developer evangel

I actually made an Anki deck when I was learning CSS two and a half years ago and I found it was well worth the effort. Since CSS isn't something I'm nearly as interested as programming, I didn't go that far with it—just the

I know, right! What if only YC employees, alum and their extended friends could comment here? Can you even imagine how many Show HN posts, including some by future founders that wouldn't have happened?

I hope you weren't reading my comment that I feel less inclined to visit a site where only the old boys club get to comment as vitriol or a personal attack of all things. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10762260

Baidu was a strategic investor in Uber, and they lead another $1.2B round a couple of months ago. Both companies have local giants backing them, so anything can happen. If I had to bet, though, I'd bet on Uber winning in China if they

What you've described as "clout" sounds exactly the same as an old boys club. If account privileges follow a social graph, it's exclusionary to those on the margins by design.

It's depressing to see how much effort was put into the presentation of this blog post compared to the effort in clarifying its ideas. The author's ideas aren't novel. Programming isn't something that can be "solved

Startups and huge multi-billion dollar companies have different priorities. If you have lots of money to hire a bigger team and you want to be able to handle lots of users on fewer machines then Java (or even C++) makes sense.

Chinese traditionally had no bound morphemes and even now tends not to. I think dragging a sequence of contiguous characters should be good. Most words are two characters, but some are one, three or four. Many four word characters contain w

Word boundary detection in Thai is indeed a thorny problem. With Chinese, though, it should be simple. Just allow users to make flashcards of any number of contiguous characters. Unbound morphemes aren't something you need to worry abo
