What do you think about raising kids there?

Ecuador. You will not regret it. My first choice would be north of Quito, in the Ibarra region. Second choice would be Cuenca and the surrounding area. In fact, there's a good chan…

Why would I want to have a laboratory feed me when I can enjoy fresh vegetables and other real foods? What the hell is wrong with this world.

I don't understand how they're paying $2000 a month to AT&T. We have 5 iPhones and 1 AT&T iPad on a family plan with unlimited text and very high number of minutes (can't remember …

In terms of overall market conditions or what else?

I'm pretty sure their download numbers say otherwise. One or two HN threads complaining about MongoDB every month are not a good indicator for their future success.

I'm working on one of those ideas that nobody realizes are worth doing. All my friends say I lost it. It's also something I can build myself (although it's quite the undertaking, I…

I love Fastmail and have been a paid user for many years now, but I hate the new AJAXy interface, in particular the infinite scroll as currently implemented. Slow, annoying, and ma…

Because you all love data so much: http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/graphs/ It's funny to me how the HNers who question vaccines remain silent when these threads pop here. I …

"Transparency Report" is such a bullshit term. It doesn't tell us anything. So what if they provide a neat table with rows filled with some random numbers. At the end of the day yo…

Intimidation. They use the same tactics against raw dairy operations.

I'm saying that people on HN are quick to judge parents who don't vaccinate as if it's about to bring armageddon. Meanwhile, they themselves contribute to more harm to themselves a…

Exactly right. The drunk drivers get punished, not the wine makers or convenience store seller. But when a person becomes sick after buying raw milk - a SWAT team is sent to raid t…

My point was that some people don't have a sense for proportions. I don't vaccinate my own kids. However, in the grand scheme of things, I think that most parents who vaccinate do …

I don't think the government can tell me not to drink raw dairy if I so choose. The only reason they raid raw dairies is because they don't want the masses realizing raw milk is sa…

We live in a crazy world where it is a federal crime to transport raw milk across state lines, yet cigarettes you can get at any corner shop kill 500,000 people every year, 50,000 …

After a while the ability to edit your comments is removed. Not sure exactly how many hours.

She's doing great IMO. This time next year $YHOO will be trading at $50. This company is way undervalued with her at the helm.

Sorry, but I can never trust something made for human consumption by the guy who wrote this: http://robrhinehart.com/?p=572 (especially the Hormones, Antibiotics and Processed Food…

Pretty odd to see 1995-era web design for a service launched in 2012. Thanks for digging :)

I love how the code is such a mess. You can really tell one guy just wrote this whole thing over the span of a decade... It's just one patch on top of another and the comments are …

Does anyone know what ever happened to Matt Wells' EventGuru.com project?

I'm talking more about the indiegogo platform and others like it - there aren't enough people on it to be raising $32m in a short period of time.
