Suggesting someone to apply critical thinking is anything but. Your confrontational attitude is though. Another thing becoming of HN.

My problem with your question is the evergrowing lack of critical thinking on HN. I think even PG has eluded to it. What's the difference from Bootstrap? Why don't you view its sou…

The origins of this survey need to be audited and investigated. Some school districts are notoriously greedy and only care about their bottom-line: test scores. The higher scores, …

Their API doesn't provide this right now, but what I'd really like to see is anonymous data regarding bike movement. (assuming the bikes have GPS, they are tracked no?) I'm curious…

To me, an avid cyclist for more than 15 years, helmets are less about protection from a car and more about protection from bike failure or small obstacles on the road. It doesn't t…

If you lived in NYC you would wear a helmet. Or should. And I would say NYC has more experienced cyclists than the Netherlands, considering what New Yorkers have to put up with. Th…

> The solution is to keep light gradients, light drop shadows, and some gloss. Just enough to keep a good level of usability, while not adding excessive ornamentation. I agree inte…

Please expand, how would you see fit a framework that isn't like the rest? I'd love to know. Personally I don't see a lot of room for innovation in design. The early 2000s had its …

Newton's First Law of Motion. Keep moving, stay moving. Keep eating healthy and exercising, stay healthy and fit. Keep learning, stay sharp and knowledgeable. There are more life f…

Standing all the time isn't healthy either, but one thing standing desks promote better is taking breaks more often. I'm more willing to walk around and stretch if I'm already stan…

Although the author didn't go to college and had a low GPA in High School, it's evident he had a penchant for math, and therefore grasped advanced Computer Science concepts. Now ta…

I have to agree, 150k for senior engineer? I would say 100-120k for senior engineer, 75-100k for engineer, 50-60k for intern.

I think discovering OSS projects for one's aptitude and interest is a field ripe for disruption. A few sites have been mentioned, but I think even more can be done. At the same tim…

Posts like yours always show up too. It's cyclic insanity on HN. Any Facebook thread devolves into: "I don't use Facebook." and "Why do people on HN hate Facebook?" Any PHP post de…

I agree with the author. We should not be content with just silly iPads! Silicon Valley please start thinking "actual future" and give us some replicators and holodecks. Especially…

Thank you for this. I'm not fond of PHP, but I don't know it as well as Ruby and Python. Still, I like to read about new technologies concerning PHP. I use HN to discover new stuff…

Except in my day it was detention and a call to your parents. Today it's expulsion and felony charges? Sorry, that's not part of growing up. That's ruining the rest of your life fo…

> tolerate the freedom that Tumblr offers I think I'm outside the ages Tumblr is marketed toward, but when you say "freedom" are you referring to lack of censorship, e.g. pornograp…

Any recommended guides to getting a Django/RoR development environment set up with Docker? How does networking work with Docker? Currently I'm using Vagrant, the guest VM is sharin…

Citation?

Proof?

> I am appalled by the lack of respect Andrew Mason gets on Hacker News. What? Seriously. What the fuck? Am I viewing the same HN? Just about every Andrew Mason related topic is bo…

I trust if Facebook did the same thing you would post the same snarky comment? (Sorry for the snarky comment)

Relying on a eCommerce company like Amazon, you're going nowhere fast. I too can make blanket ignorant statements. Google is not just an advertisement company anymore. Haven't been…

What annoys me is it's become a bandwagon for karma. Half the people bitching at Google for shutting some service down probably never even used the service. Companies kill unpopula…
