Regardless of whether its wise to bet on where technology is heading, the point I got from this was that more thought should be going in to what technologies should be focused on a…

I'd agree with you on most of this except the oil part; the reason the government doesn't invest in alternative energy is because reliance on oil is necessary to make the petro-dol…

Today I witnessed a rather trivial exchange between two rock star personalities on this forum. It went something like this: 254 points by Rock Star #1 20 minutes ago Facebook is so…

>> One of the memes constantly reinforced here at hn is pushing the envelope. edw519, this is not by any means a personal attack on you and I admire your appreciation for the gener…

Thank you! Your rare sense of humor more than counterbalances the dime-a-dozen downvotes that have yet again stripped me of run at a 100 karma points on this, my ... 8th(?) YC acco…

Yes. They are running scared of the growing threat of the Ylluminati. But since they have 100% of all the deals, they also seem to co-invest(?!?). These anxious (yet all-powerful) …

Nice. Now go to http://www.culturedcode.com , get a demo of "Things" and piggy back their award-winning design layout and make a web-based version of it. A good start is to one-up …

But that's the point - since a potential poster of "I agree" would be adding no value whatsoever to the discussion, and may perhaps be the kind of person who posts "I agree" on mul…

My personal model for clear and concise communication is Stephen Hawking; perhaps his proficiency at getting to the point is based on the fact that it takes a lot of effort for him…

So it would seem that creativity trumps the massive budgets and state of the art technology that are the hallmarks of just about all modern day SciFi flicks; hmmm ... wonder if tha…
