I think a lot of non-native speakers don't know the word vanity. How else would you describe it, so that a guy from Moldova understands? Thank you.

I think this idea of survival rather than living is rather an unfortunate characteristic of our time. People need to rewatch that german movie called "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". A…

I'm just going to add to this: it's been 10 years. Hacker News is still hoping very hard this so called libertarian wet dream cryptocurrency called Bitcoin will soon be out of the …

So this looks like a dating site for advertisers and those who are willing to provide some advertising space on their t-shirts. Seems to me, not a very new concept. But somehow, I …

In that case, it'd be much less suspicious to purchase a small private jet. No reason to hijack a big airplane everyone would be looking for.

I find it hard to believe people that rich can make judgements this wrong about anything. I think Buffet had a history of saying "I don't understand it, therefore I don't invest", …

Punishment is just one way of ensuring doctors pay attention. And as many people find out, it doesn't actually work simply because doctors make mistakes anyway. Now, for a price $1…

Slightly offtopic, but oddly enough MMM is also a name of the most famous Russian ponzi scheme from the 90s. Laughed a little bit, but no parallels, of course. All the luck to this…

Don't know if it's good or bad. While certainly it's good news for Bitcoin and its adoption, I wonder what's gonna happen to all those exchanges that are currently working and serv…

I'm a big fan of TDD. But BDD is just such an overkill for me. I could never understand it. It takes all the joy out of programming away by introducing the level of abstraction tha…
