"High Performance" anything tends to mean doesn't last too long and more expensive when it breaks. I'm sure the 19" standard tires are a little better on both counts.

I would imagine that there is always the chance of 'false negatives' (people you call as failures that eventually succeed), but they are probably pretty bang on with identifying po…

That's not contradictory to what the quote says. In fact, "do it now" is pretty much exactly what he's saying when he says most men die with the song still in their heart. Moot poi…

Actually, the advantage of science is that it can predict the future in an accurate fashion. Ergo: I know x will happen because when all the variables are the same in the past, x h…

This completely ignores that you have choice. You can go get another beer, as would be expected given you had three previously and chose to come to a bar, or you can choose to go h…

um, yes. I've got a major business system running on django right now. I'm also just starting a new one on the same platform. I personally couldn't care less what the flavour of th…

Made by some concerned youths I don't think he's too far off. Point being getting so pissed to make an entire website about a company you don't like says more about you than it doe…

This is an ad. It's only vaguely disguised as a how to, even if it is something many HN'ers are dealing with.

There is no "speed limit" per se on the Autobahn.

>I personally do not see how SMBs can compete when they are paying 4x more for labor. This makes the error of assuming that the only thing a consumer values is cost. That isn't act…

Strange game, the only way to win is not to play.

Companies have a legal obligation to maximize shareholder profits, but that doesn't directly translate into how they treat their employees. If company directors felt that hiring th…

There is nothing stopping the union from re-negotiating the contract that exists today, the same way management wanted to re-negotiate the contract that previously existed.

The child needs to be at the right level to understand the concept before they can be coached to do it. The book is aimed for 6 year olds, so, I'm using that age. Teaching a corner…

>For example, when you build a bridge, there's a clear, objective line of quality somewhere above She isn't building a bridge, she's writing a story for children. The failure point…

This could be the most important thing that YC ever does...

Well, that's not what I'm saying. What I am saying is that women are less tolerant of assholes, and there is nothing wrong with that. Women (overall of course, individuals vary) an…

Agreed and disagreed. It's not healthy to be permanently offended, but presenting an idea and being told that it isn't good (by someone presenting no alternative) or that you have …

Why? Do you find that uncomfortable? A lot of women do. So do a lot of men. Computer science is filled with people on the poor side of "social skill set", and that rubs a lot of pe…

>How would you explain a simple FOR loop to a child through a story? You wouldn't. The same way you don't explain how to take a corner kick to a child playing soccer. All you need …

No, because the audience is clearly unsatisfied with only having those options. What a bigoted comment. OP is praising diversity, and you are suggesting what, exactly? That there i…

Thanks for this comment. I thought I was the only one feeling this. I'd say this is a perfect example of why there aren't more women in computers. From what I've seen, a lot of wom…

I don't think you are an "enemy" of anyone, however I do think that the Catholic church's position here isn't very logical. The church does now support family planning by using a w…

Indeed, and I've found HN is (for the interwebs at least) pretty tolerant of unpopular opinions, provided there is substance behind them. Regardless I hope you never feel burdened …
