If it is entirely out of the blue and you have nothing in particular to discuss, it might come across a bit weird or creepy. Expanding your social circle is probably a great start …

I completely agree. As much as I hate videos that play automatically, your intro was inoffensive enough that I listened until it got interesting. On a side note, why do you have in…

Given the direction in which governments seem to be moving, it's probably more relevant now than it was then.

I agree, although I'd love to see some results or examples (and I must admit I'm a little pessimistic). I hope to see some on the website soon :)

I enjoyed reading the article, and I wouldn't have found it if it wasn't here on HN. If it shouldn't be here (according to the HN community) it wouldn't be sitting at the top of th…

Who voted this down and why? Down-voting is not a tool through which you demonstrate your disagreement with someone's opinion.

The headline "The Age of Music Piracy Is Officially Over" really bothers me for some reason. It should be "The Age of Music Piracy Is Over According to Some Columnist".

To be fair, we can't verify that either way. If a company treated me as the reviewers claim, I wouldn't give them more than one star either. As was mentioned in other comments, the…

I don't agree with Eil's comment at all, but that is no reason to vote his comment down. Comment voting is to make interesting comments more prominent and to remove noise, not to b…

I've only spent about a week in India (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur). It was a good trip, but not necessarily 'fun'. If there is one thing I learnt (as a caucasian), it is that anyone wh…

I've never heard of Hunch before, but just yesterday I was actually thinking that it'd be nice if a tool just like it existed. However, the first thing I thought when I saw their w…

I think plenty of people said the same thing about the Wii. It is fun so long as games use the interaction as a constructive part of the game. There are plenty of fun multiplayer g…

I've tried a number of methods (mostly for work-related todos) and nothing really worked perfectly. I find that I go through phases of needing a list versus doing what is on my min…

Intellectual disagreements are usually more interesting than agreements, particularly when the original article is well written and doesn't require commentators to fill in the gaps…

Thanks for the info

Does anyone have any experience with Mono on macs?

Compared to what? Your comment is like saying "A house is bigger."

Sounds like reverse auctions. Rather than people competing to buy an item on sale, sellers would be bidding to sell a wanted item. Does anyone do this? Would it actually work?

I would find it quite tempting to destroy it, but I guess that satisfaction wouldn't be worth the opportunity cost.

StackOverflow is my first port of call when I run into a programming problem that I can't solve. I've started mucking around with Unity 3d (a game engine) and was quite relieved wh…

I think they mean time of day, not altitude. Makes more sense without the comma.

Why are they out of fashion? Is it because it is too hard to figure out why a particular neural net makes certain decisions? Are they generally too unwieldy and unpredictable? I'm …

It's not waking up that's hard; the problem is getting to sleep. The symptoms in the article definitely apply to me (and I'm working on resolving them). Yesterday I woke up much ea…

The OP article link doesn't work for me, but the dupe link does.

Without understanding the language, I get the impression that the author prizes a low line count over readability.
