Man, we all know there are no such things as friggin sharks with lasers on their heads. (There are black swans, but let's ignore that for the sake of the rhetoric) We all know inte…

Probably not, but I've met some people with incredibly high innate intelligence and poor formal education. Really amazing/scary at the same time.

Don't automatically laugh at or dismiss ideas you think are stupid. That's what stupid people do.

Thanks jrockway! I now plan to enter Lurk mode!

Hacker means many things. If someone submitted a story or tadpoles I would read it, because the intent may be the 'hack'.

What 'What...?'?

I think many students fantasize a future for themselves and for many it is a safe, steady, well paid job in business. So they think 'business studies'. A lot of the most successful…

The first rule for smart people is intellectual honesty. The medium is not relevant. What the feck has KFC got to do with it?

Really? So you have blinkers on when it comes to new ideas? Like, tell Edison to go somewhere else - somewhere they go to bed early and get up early 'cos that is what the sun does?…

'Wealth', as in how many Yankee dollars you have is relative. I understand all the arguments about absolute wealth, and it is true that my parents (and I) are absolutely wealthier …

You know, it is amazing how fast we change. Only 7 years ago I was reading about about the Singularity and thinking 'Yeah, maybe in twenty-fifty - things don't change that quickly!…

He has posted more comments than I have which could be considered Trollish.

To be fair, POTUS is one of the most important people in the World. His team should be reading news.ycombinator.com for many (I would have thought, obvious) reasons.

I thought the one about Aliens was prescient. Oh well.

Interesting. 'About 1/2 of the human population suffers from poverty.' Well, let them die so everyone can be wealthy. Can you see the flaw in my argument?

I don't think I have a ceiling on the price I would pay for an iPhone business/productivity app. I would pay hundreds of £/$/€ if the app made me that much in return.

Should we have the option to flag Trolls such as 'tsetse-fly', then display a warning symbol alongside their login name whenever they post?

Posted any interesting Submissions, yourself?

Ask YC: Do you think Obama's transition team read Hacker News?
