I was thinking the same thing - today's Brilliant Jerk is tomorrow's visionary - just look at Steve Jobs as a good example. People also adapt and change over time, so that's import…

I agree 100% that textbooks have too many levels of abstraction added over time. There's a really interesting answer given on this exact same subject by Bill Gates at the Aspen Fes…

Thanks rbranson, this comment was very helpful. I also think that the logical fallacy of some of these arguments is that they´re absolutist - it´s better to follow your advice beca…

Question: maybe just my simplistic take on these complaints - and I have the same ones - but can 90% of these all be broken down into two categories? (database-related), and (UI-re…

Well, then please accept my apologies and thank you for taking the time to explain. As I said originally, I think that it's wonderful that you're encouraging young people, and espe…

Thanks for the comment drharris. With all due respect, I think this is a paid promotional article, not something that should be promoted on the front page of HN. Consider this: A) …

No I didn't. I understand the post. I support anyone, anywhere who wants to learn programming and show an interest, especially young women who are under-represented in the industry…

The keyword density and some of the keyword repetition for this article makes me suspicious. Not questioning the experience - I read it and it sounded great. Just analyzing the mos…

I couldn't help thinking while reading this that my main concern with registration systems isn't the complicated Regex as much, but rather the really annoying registry bots that si…

I don't think that in a few decades we'll see a "world filled with Gabriellas". Luckily (for the time being), our universities are really good at pumping out Rodrigos rather than G…

Sounds to me like an engineer with that level of experience, who had navigated the patent process for his own prior patent, would know a thing or two about patents. I'm open to the…

Like Kiva, it would be good to also list the "sponsor" (read: 501(c)(3) name) on the patient's profile/donation page. If that sponsor name also included a link to a basic sponsor p…

It proves that re-posting is effective for content owners, although it's really annoying when reposts don't include anything new. This one seems to sneak through because it's reall…

I wonder how that statement is influenced by investigator bias - in the 1950's where "street smarts" (working class parents, working class background) somehow viewed socially as su…

At these airports we've lost the human caring, the human service-related element that makes America great. - I think that there's no demonstrable security value for the majority of…

Look, I've lived in Spain for a long time and obviously I see what's happening here. But I'm from California and I read/see/hear what the US press says about Spain. DO NOT BELIEVE …

I was reading this article (on my computer) and when Schmidt says "Take your eyes off that screen and look into the eyes of the person you love. Have a conversation, a real convers…

Don't see anyone mentioning here that you can also play the piano with the ASDF...(etc) keys on your computer's keyboard. It was way easier playing it that way, rather than clickin…

I understand what you're saying, but PUD has a lot of experience building startups and I think he has the right mix of know-how and resources to launch any of the ideas listed in t…

Really love the band generator idea - PUD, if you're listening in, make it happen! I'd use it...

Yeah, why not have two contraceptive methods in play - like a "Plan A" and a "Plan B"? I think you're on the right track here. Many men, including myself, feel pretty equal with th…

This is a great summary you've written here and worth a second read. In deed there are confounding cultural factors built into standardized IQ testing. You wouldn't expect a white …
