Taklamakan Desert. Looks like they're mining something...

Your conclusion is well-founded. The micro side of economics is one part science and one part logic; the macro side is one part logic and one part hand-waving.

It's a judgment call. And many, many of the free market-loving, pro-innovation people on HN judge partnering with Monsanto (and bragging about it) to be the wrong move. The world i…

Monsanto is an extreme case, and therefore inspires a lot of passion. I'd say the vast majority of people on HN are pro-capitalism and pro-innovation, but have disparate views on b…

There's a place in civilized, rational discussion for ranting. Let's say you're out with two friends discussing the war on drugs, with all kinds of rational, civilized debate on th…

It's an unfortunate sign for everyone that you (and/or Cloudant) wouldn't anticipate this reaction from going into business with Monsanto. As to the "content-free" claim, sometimes…

This raises a real dilemma: at what point does a company or organization cross the line from "not my cup of tea" to "ethically ambiguous" to "pure evil"? What if Cloudant were to p…

Wow. I might actually buy this magazine from a newsstand. Way to differentiate!

Any specifics as to the content or genre of the movie? (Many companies wouldn't want to be associated with certain kinds of content.) How large (as % of the billboard) are the pict…

DuckDuckGo! I'd say the search results are better/less cluttered about 60% of the time, and google or bing are only a !bang away...

Sometimes I think every child that's born should receive not only a Social Security Number, but a trust, a holding corporation, and a political action committee in his/her name. Th…

Basically, it's: 1. Go to the "Profile Matches" offer tab 2. View source; the users' ids are right there 3. Look up those users' profiles directly (e.g., /profile/view?id=xyxyxyxy

Play is so important, but since it's difficult to measure the value, it gets down-played as "non-productive." While it's obvious when someone is "over-playing," it's just as import…

Exactly. This would intimidate my aunt; Hipmunk would amaze her.

Any legal way to hack this by, say, something along the lines of "Glassdoor for founders/VCs/etc."?

Because social status (and the perceived security of that status) is very real and hugely important to a large % of people. Difficult to quantify, but absolutely a major driving fo…

Can you recommend any good books or papers on this phenomenon?

Wow.

Kubrick had worked quite a while on "Aryan Papers," even casting the female lead: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/jan/03/kubrick-holocaust...

Going to share this with my 8-year-old!

Maybe this is the sort of thing Color would be good for -- monitoring what changes within a 100 foot radius of an office building, scanning faces for lawyers, accountants, M&A peop…

Really cool idea to open this data up to the masses. A few ideas: Maybe you could do some sort of "introduction" video or tutorial so that a new visitor can tell what the site is a…

The caveats actually make me happy that Dropbox is out there, not locked in to any particular device. That said, if this were to force Dropbox to drop their prices, I wouldn't be u…

If it is/was that obvious, care to share any other 'obvious' practices that may not be common knowledge?

Good to see Henry Kissinger on HN! :)
