I'd like to post a dissenting view, but unfortunately my posts on hacker news are now censored...

Originally it wasn't suppose to be just a piece of paper and actually was worth something. The greenback at one time was a certificate that you could exchange for 1 oz silver. I ha…

Put that in a cocktail. :)

I read the article and it saids absolutely nothing about deflation.

A company creates "shared value" simply by making a product that people want to pay for: they get your product, you get their money. Its really that simple, do we really need a 15 …

Because people will buy a phone with faulty SMS abilities, Google has no financial incentive to fix the bug. If people stop buying the phone and vote with their wallets, Google mig…

just logged in to say this was a horrible article. how does this stuff get upvoted here?

No. I would keep the 300k job, you will regret it. I had a 230k job once and quit it to start up my own consulting firm, and although I had a lot of passion working with technology…

The real question is, red pill or blue? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te6qG4yn-Ps

those posts are my honest replies. I don't invoke name calling and try to backup everything with sources. I do get downvoted a lot here, I do not have multiple accounts or use my a…

Thimerosal may have been removed from vaccines in 2001/2003, but because it was used as a preservative, vaccines made before then were not taken off the shelf and recalled and stil…

Vaccines do cause autism. Here is a peer reviewed paper in the journal of Toxicological and Environmental Chemistry, the abstract: Mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired oxidative-red…

they can just ban all hTTPS and whitelist banks, paypal, facebook etc

what a waste. They could have bought IBM BladeCenter solution with the same processors, but with Infiniband and more memory.. instead they have a big toy.

whats really weird is that at last years Defcon Dan Kaminsky did a demo showing that DNS lookups were actually faster in TCP than UDP. His explanation of why: "... and I have no id…

ha, my Sager 8xxx was a great laptop and lasted quite a while. Would you like to buy it for parts? When it died I switched to a thinkpad t42 from 2004 that I bought for $100.

turn on mysql connection pooling and install Google Web Accelerator, you'll have to switch to apache to do Google Web Accelerator though.

maybe if you tried putting a better screenshot on your game, with enemies or something, live action fire or whatever you game does it might be more downloads? I don't have an app s…

except.. you can't just go buy one, yet. And then you can't just drive away on the highway, right away. You will have to buy the $2500 240volt charging station, and have it install…

I don't trust Bill Gates. He believes that "if we do a really good job, with vaccines and healthcare ... we can reduce the worlds human population by 10 or 15 percent." OK, did you…

I can't find the reference off hand, but I once heard that it takes 7 years of operation for a solar panel to generate the same amount of energy to build a panel, .. and the energy…

I'd invest it and hopefully get 20k a year, live very frugally off the dividend do odd jobs and build up skills. Then, when the recessions over I'd look into launching a product an…
