All known resources are finite.

As soon as anyone knows, they are going to use that info however they see fit. Probably getting their own house in order before spreading the news, to not put themselves at risk. H…

> removing development restrictions in booming cities, unleashing an epic (or Chinese-level) building boom Which would be interesting because it is debatable whether we have the re…

I always like reading historical analysis, but have a few questions: > We did a bad job of distributing the wealth generated by that. I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you mean t…

I wonder what retail companies are doing about all of their POS (point-of-sale) computers running XP.

Ok, valid point- to clarify, when I said 2-factor SMS, I was assuming a 30-second TOTP like Google's. If you don't use TOTP, someone can login to your account just by knowing the p…

Woah, hold on. > sort of like two-factor authentication without the two-factor? If you don't have 2-factor, which most sites don't, then it is 1-factor. This is replacing that 1-fa…

While we're at it * : Funding Monday - where everyone pitches to VC's in the same HN thread. Trial Tuesday - where everyone provides a link to their demo in the same HN thread. Wri…

> the company is dead. No, it's not. It means the relationship between the cofounders is severely damaged. The company may be fine. Everyone is making the assumption here that what…

On a related topic, a troubling new trend (to me) is the reliance on passwords being automatically generated/kept by a tool. You are putting your trust in something else for someth…

Can't wait to see 2014. Right up there with... hmm, maybe not.

I've not had a problem with the comics we've gotten from Amazon. If anything, the reader on the Kindle Fire HDX takes a little getting used to because you need to click to zoom to …

Not anytime soon. Until it has a large share of the market, it won't be worth the time for developers to really come aboard, and the only way to get there is to have a large enough…

Misleading title- I didn't see much mention of a soda machine. :)

I'm really excited about a low cost, quality 3D printer but: 1. How much is another spool once the kickstarter is over? 2. "In addition, when making the specification for the seaml…

I never thought of Fog Creek that way before. In fact, I've always gotten the impression they were down-to-earth. But, that one shot of a spreadsheet in this post listing Brown, Ru…

I made more points by just going counterclockwise through the arrow keys over and over: 5368

Me also! Had a hiatus on programming for this most part in university though, otherwise would be in same bracket.

omg I now have empirical evidence that I'm old. The top of the curve is 10-15 years and I'm beyond that now. OLD!

grep is even shorter: grep $ That reads lines from stdin and echoes to stdout.

I disagree with one "but" in this post. Rebranding is not optional/too expensive. It's THAT important. Don't not do it, and never give up on a necessary TODO. Good luck! You guys a…

Fully decentralized means everyone has their own autonomous device to act as server and client of the transactions and has a usable decentralized (probably mesh) network. P2P over …

> I was a professional Java programmer for three years 3 years is about the amount of time it took me to get a false sense of security in my understanding of a language, imo. After…
