I'm surprised that I am commenting late and I am the first one. Am I the only one that seems to think that this can be used for racketeering, money laundering, ext. Also, balancing…

I don't think you realize the severity of his lies over Fable, and Fable 2. Back when it was Project Mayhem (can't recall exact name) he promised very life accurate features, graph…

I hardly think a guy that LIES about what his product is doing and has success merely because people decided to buy the product regardless. It is almost like he owes his success to…

This is very anecdotal naturally. But I am a dyslexic and it was really a struggle for me as a little kid. I don't like reading very much because it is a frustrating endeavor. I li…

I'm not the brightest guy in the world. But I can tell you that human companionship often comes in forms that you do not expect. I wouldn't look only for technical people to talk t…

Apologizes for long title. I'm an EE and my programming experience doesn't extend far beyond C++ intro courses. I'd really like to get involved in more web based activities but my …

:) It's nice to hear we are appreciated.

I don't picture people with technical skills being deterred by this. I don't think that the people who want to get access to free information will use this. I do think this is a re…

This seems awesome. They neglect to mention how to power any circuits and what components you could and how. If this could be perfected though, Electrical Engineers would slowly ta…

I am currently reading a book that my brother found while browsing YC, "Life would be easier if it weren't for other people." I was also turned onto "G.E.B." by this community. I w…

Since I have started visiting HN, I have seen many great reasons/examples for web startups. However, I have come across some interesting examples of really cheap businesses to star…

Silly Noob, it's a six pool now. Also, really a seven pool because it makes sense to make a drone instead of saving for the spawning. The ideal rush is an eight pool, unless you wi…

It is sort of a catch 22 for her to say how silly it is to have a co-founder when you are young and unproven. If you are capable of doing it yourself, then yes, of course you shoul…

Can someone confirm that indeed 80 cents of every tax dollar goes to pensions?

It is amazing how many young people can succeed in technical fields at a young age. Most great physicists make some of their incredible discoveries when they are young. Mark Zucker…

Benefits from trade are a good notion. However, some trades are completely unfair. Example, Native Americans trading the island of Manhattan for a few dollars of beads. Even though…

It seemed like he had an incredible product he could have sold for more in my opinion. For contractual projects wouldn't it make sense to know the value of what is going to be prod…

I think we agree on almost everything. I was just theorizing that the magical force behind Germany's constant industrial success is having rationality deeply rooted in their cultur…

Ah, you are right. Thank you for correcting.

I found some numbers to support and condemn my earlier statements. http://www.russellsage.org/chartbook/householdform/figure4.5... Shows that poorer households on average have more…

Funny joke. But I'm pretty sure this reinforces how far away our robot overlords still remain.

Or a parking lot, street or intersection. Let's put that Chevy 'Like A Rock' slogan to the test!

I agree with you that given the percentage changes in the way we view money, there has to be massive social change in thought. I also agree that people filter what the news tells t…

I spent four months living in Germany. I see tons more national pride when I am in the United States. The only national pride I have seen Germany conveyed was for their football te…

Touche. It's a mix of both, I suppose. However, what I meant to convey was that it is not too surprising that there aren't many women on a website that would take some degree of te…
