Certainly, from what I've seen, you can easily get away with little work at grad school.

Superficially speaking, it's a great way to scare a generation of to-be parents or those considering becoming parents into behaving responsibly. Personally, coming from a backgroun…

Think about Galileo. For every stereotype you cite, I can quote exceptions and make it a circular argument. You did lump every "smart person" in your argument and I wanted to call …

OK, as per your theory of conformism, smart people want to be accepted as smart by other smart people. That is why they are atheist in the current times. The fallacy of this argume…

This is just wrong philosophy masquerading as science or skepticism. The question of lightning finally got solved by science and there're always things which are beyond the explana…

anyone who can understand probability in a half-decent manner wouldn't believe in god.

There's a rider to that headline. The effect is in UK, not the US. Here in the US, I do find that in the entry-level employers are more than willing to recruit people who get on-th…

Helped a guy who was an acquaintance, who I thought was a friend move into my apt while in grad school with my other roommates, vouched for him, paid his part of the security depos…

Hugely informative article. A sarcastic thought just popped into my head. To make a snide remark: at least we Europeans don't do "Procreation for recreation."

LOL, the direction in which this conversation turned is funny.

Nonsense. Anyone who knows his talent and worth, and has an ounce of pride wouldn't stand being jockeyed or lowballed. If I figure at any interview that it's being played like the …

Man was a genius! He hacked culture. Fondly remembered, badly missed.

Dude was high as a kite when he wrote that.

This is a dumb idea. Restricting what is quickly becoming one of the necessities of modern life and learning is a retarded way of dealing with enforcing copyright. People in the kn…

this isn't hacker news, it shouldn't even be here.

Great article. Yes, I do believe the language you think in and speak affects the way your thought progresses. I had an interesting discussion following this article at work and a c…

That was a well thought out post. In addition to my previous comment posted here, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=217636 I forgot to mention that Yahoo is quite big in the non …

Sorry but I got to completely disagree with Arrington's analysis. Yahoo is a media portal and they do graphic ads in search pretty well too. Where Yahoo went bust was in trying to …

very interesting. thanks for the post.

well isn't it better to just ignore TC? I mean it's easy to critique something, where once we had insight all we have now is backchatter. And seriously, this doesn't deserve to be …

May work for blue collar jobs. Certainly not for any 60k plus jobs. The idea sounds second only to making videos for getting hired.

My angry response is: Nonsense. They can shove their internet where the sun doesn't shine. Rationally speaking: These blokes were given a free rein and tax breaks by Clinton to dev…

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. PG.

techcrunch, the sideshow of valleywag.

Stunningly true, although the time scale has increased. What we get these days via TV and print is gossip that parades as news. I turn to the web to get actual news and for this I …
