Sure that certainly is one way of looking at it. When I said Bush - I did not mean literally Bush. I think we both made our points - so I give it a rest :)

Sure, I watched the video. Thanks - it was a nice, instructive video. All I am saying is that your statement is a "bit of hyperbole". Things are never black and white when we are t…

Thanx for the very detailed and interesting analysis. Part of what would determine US global leadership is how fast it adapts to the changing world order and accepts the facts inst…

I think there is some truth to what you say - but to say that it is "utterly irrelevant" who you vote is a bit of hyperbole. In a democracy voting ultimately decides who gets into …

I think the most important set of folks that should receive their share of blame is folks who voted the current crop of congressmen. I really feel that we should have a "how to cho…

Interesting article. The current selfish and misguided crop of politicians and the declining economy (and prospects) lead me to believe there is some truth to what this article sta…

"The Moral Landscape" ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/143917122X/ ) by Sam Harris The book discusses how science can be used to deal with questions on morality.

One of the foremost intellectuals - I disagreed with him on Iraq but scoured youtube to watch his debates - mostly against religious rabbis. There really was no one like him. "“Tha…

The first one went for 1600 and the second one was done sort of in private immediately after since there were two hours available.

@zck - no idea - I spent almost an hour looking for the item and then was told that it had already been converted to a live auction due to high demand.

$1600 - 2 spots (so total $3200 for two hours), I was there. It was a silent auction before and it became a live auction due to high demand.

The original post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1863923 I got following info from a person managing the auction about how the auction works and thought I would post it here …

I think it is a silent auction. So you go in and put your bid. So it is not going to be like what I believe you imagine. I am not sure whether 1. you know what others have bid(my g…

true - i edited for that just now:) I did not realize that it would be a silent auction.

I plan to be there...And hope to win:) @callmeed, i can bid on ur behalf assuming it is a straightforward one time bid...i can contact you on email if you want..though there is a c…

I have applied for this round. I know that single founders (for logical reasons) are not likely to succeed. But what about part time co founders? By part time, I mean folks who wou…

@arn, I agree and you give a lovely example of parents wanting to have children and point to an even lovelier set of cartoons - they totally cracked me up - thank you!!:)

I am in the same bind. I am wondering what a decent rate for a good design is. I need to design two simple pages ("simple" may be subjective.) I have been quoted $400 - just for de…

Damn! Only yesterday I bought the balsamiq :) I checked your stuff briefly but did not get a chance to play around. I definitely think there is a market for this.

I listen to NPR every day. Do you think Juan deserved to fired for stating " seeing fellow airline passengers dressed in Muslim garb makes him nervous"? This statement seems to be …
