Behind many, but I sincerely hope not "every". A trivial counterexample is Warren Buffet: he simply saved and invested. Or consider inventors with patents.

Same here. As a teenager I dreamt about working for SUN. Oxide comes close in a way.

I admit that I am a skeptic, but my first try [1] gave an intriguing response, so I will continue playing with it. [1] https://galactica.org/?prompt=what+is+the+relationship+betwe.…

Some say it's a symbiosis

Where would you advertise for ex-Meta or ex-Twitter developers?

I've just finished his autobiography "Homage to Gaia". I've read dozens of scientists' biographies, but this stands out. Funny, unusual, very warm and humane with a lot of good tho…

Yes, by far! The Gervais Principle is brilliant and after reading it a lot falls into place. It also corroborates with Slava's experience https://www.spakhm.com/p/how-to-get-promot…

I thought that the emotional life-history pattern of cancer patients is quite well researched and linking trauma, anxiety and stress to cancer is not his hypothesis, he is just pop…

Sad that we are not paying for software nowadays. Look at the consequences!

I agree with you. Also, the Gervais principle should be required reading for everybody on HN. Half of the discussions would be so much simpler. https://www.ribbonfarm.com/the-gerva…

Am surprised that in such a long thread nobody mentions RethinkDB.

Everybody should take responsibility, parents first and also Zuckerberg.

May be unrelated, but the question is killing me: what caption would you give to the photo at the top of the article?

Please, everyone, do this more often! So simple and so powerful.

Maybe a tablet maker will one day add a second, e-ink screen to the back of the tablet and run the Kindle app on it.

This is one of the best titles I've seen this year. Reminds me of G.G.Márquez, who told how much he sweated over the first sentence. I haven't read the post yet, but I feel the dis…

No way I am judging the company, meaning Joyent. But Samsung Electronics owns them, so what I expect is they realise they sit on a goldmine of talent, and if Joyent products are no…
