I hate that hn encourages this type of obnoxious headline. Just tragic. I feel this sort of pitiful neglect is what republicans think when they say "let the market find a solution"…

Um. The website and app are now blocking access unless you log in. I feel like this is a case of geniuses doing stupid shit that any normal person would never do. They probably hav…

This is an absurd and outrageous statement. Akin to the full pay glossy ads for oil companies in Vanity Fair with messages like "We care about people and nature". M$ is serious abo…

Very strange.

Hah! HN has definitely gotten worse over the last 5 years. You may have gotten smarter, but HN is now a major news hub for a VERY VERY VERY FUCKING DESIRABLE DEMOGRAPHIC. So there …

This needs to be reported as an invalid story to HN. This is a case where the submitter has not read the article. The abstract clearly states that the intervention is NOT exercise.…

This is completely strange, HN should look into who up-voted this story and see if there is an upvote ring or rings involved. I suspect foul play by members of FB executive team / …

This is not a MySQL Problem. This is an Open Source problem.

We have a space program because of Sputnik. This letter is a load of BS, space exploration is all about international politics. tl;dr America, fuck yeah

So I post the first verse of "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta" by the geto boys, and I see it gets censored. I'm pissed. This is, in my opinion, brilliant commentary on the OP d…

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fuckin mouth 'cause real gangsta-ass niggas don't start fi…

At first I mistook it for http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/432872 Which is an entirely different game.

Hah! What a dork. These cult-leader types always want to control the message.

This is nonsense. It has no place on HN. First of all, cheap ads are not a bad thing. Cheap ads are like cheap oil: sure, it may put some oil companies out of business who can't de…

That's ridiculous. MSFT made some decisions without really A) thinking about or B) caring about the consequences. Their MO from day 1 is to screw everyone else and become fabulousl…

"What's shocking to me is the blatant manipulation of the mob." Wait. What? You're "shocked"? Um. This is 2012, you know. Mobs are made to be manipulated. That's pretty much the wh…

I worked for a startup that was A) cobbled together with completely shit code, was constantly breaking on releases, and was glued together by ???. and B) a ridiculously over-engine…

I honestly thought Dave McClure was a multi-millionaire. Apparently not. The rich people I have interacted with and observed are huge dorks. They may be decent, hard-working people…

1. Writer doesn't know the difference between a 4.5 % increase in risk and a 350 % increase. 2. Writer links to wrong source, so we can't fact-check ourselves. 3. The program for S…

1. Eliezer S. Yudkowsky was 17 when he wrote his article. 2. Yudkowsky's article starts off with unfalsifiable nonsense and unwarranted speculation about the future course of evolu…

Yes, some programmers are billionaires, and some are not. This is direct, objective evidence of the distribution of productivity among programmers.

You have to spend a lot of time doing it. A lot. Of time. Probably the fastest way is to pick up SICP and work through most of the problems. And, by extension, look at the undergra…

1. It makes a big difference if this policy is implemented at the team or company level 2. It makes a big difference if the policy is mandatory or advisory. If it is advisory, it c…

Taking startup advice seriously is a bad idea if you get it from blog posts. Most of it is blind leading the blind. I think Max Levchin's startup advice response on quota is more i…

You have no understanding of modern economies, and you should not have posted this comment. Wall St. is run and operated by greedy people who invest money to make a profit. This is…
