hey I've got a question about Kagi: so, a bunch of third party apps made for Reddit are getting killed this month because Reddit decides to jack up the prices. What's going to happen to Kagi if/when it becomes somewhat of a c

Thanks for the link. Could you give an example of something you learned better/easier after having implemented a simplified version? Side question: Is there a entry level build your own language model or gan type learning tool out ther

IIRC, financial fraud that makes the country (e.g., from its citizens/organizations) lose a lot of money is a capital offense in China. And also everything you own will be confiscated to pay back to the country. (If you ignore the "China is

Looks like the policies* are starting to work. Good. Hopefully they can avoid "The Bubble Which Will Dwarf All Other Bubbles" http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/14/us-china-property-...

It's interesting how entitled people feel from $10-15. I'm just glad Toady (of Dwarf Fortress) doesn't have to deal with this kind of behaviour.

I'm unfamiliar with Quora. How is it different from, say, yahoo answers or stackOverflow??

I'm very very interested in considering homeschooling. How did the article's method differ with your child, since the "class size" is reduced to one? Your child won't have the benefit of being "filled in", but maybe she feels that she owns

in an ideal world, none of the founds will need the money to pay rent or pay for child care etc, they'd all be young guys with no debt living at home. The fact that one founder may have bills to pay, and him being the only guy having to cas

What kind of form....just email? I would personally be very hesitant to fill out a form for free software (trial? full?), and be completely turned off by the prospect of having sales people contact me about it later. Sometimes having nothin

Right. So the IOUs need to be a form of investment as well. re: star employee example--it's not how much you made the company, it's how much of the company is yours to begin with. Founders will be smart to reward performance, but to reward

WOAH you just suggested a Palin-target style game, except instead of a map, you use images of people. Too soon, my friend. A funnier idea might be an app to throw elephants at donkeys in their straw houses, and another app to throw donkeys

His answer for "What happens if not all the early employees need to take a salary? " makes sense, but leaves the question of "why don't I get paid now instead of getting paid later if it means I get just as much (or less due to inflation)."

One positive about this game is that I would not have to go back for that "last" pellet I left behind, surrounded by ghosts and no power pellets left.

Not as idle a comment as it would seem. In a marriage, the stakes are high, the "opponent" is someone you know well, and the difficulty can increase faster than in the "outside" world where civility is still maintained even when upset. The

a definite disadvantage of being non-middle aged is that my friends do not parody Dr. Johnson, they post pictures of their last meals with their boyfriends. HN is one of the means through which I escape the constraints of my real life socia

there's simply no reason why they can't either a) parse the zip code differently based on country, or b) why country isn't listed first if there are uncrossable chasms. To do neither is simply laziness

Why is it not a race anymore? Even if you're Hussein Bolt, the race is still on: set new records, challenge others, show boat. And why is "having a strategy the start of the end"? You seem to imply that it isn't because Google's strategy i

I love free stuff! Small suggestion: the first instruction was to "drag zipped website here", but it did not mention that I need a file exactly called "index.html" inside. Maybe change it to "drag zipped website containing your index.html h

indeed: when people clamor that everyone should re-think nuclear power, we should actually look at the human cost of the current alternatives. For example, the news is happy to report that China will be building 50 reactors in the future. (

I agree with you: what do people think happen to the brightest and the best from a few decades ago? They grow old and retire, of course. Perhaps the reason they don't sound like experts to younger folks is because they've become experts in
