Natural selection was not a conscious choice. There have been many choices in grammar that have been decided almost arbitrarily by higher authorities. Sure, many of these choices may have been based on their own experiences, but they were

Also, it makes it easier to determine when a sentence ends that contains an abbreviation. (This refers to when most people would use periods at the end of abbreviations.) I still use double spacing even though standard HTML does not displ

I actually could not find exactly what I wanted years ago so I created some time clock software for a company where I worked in some of my spare time. They became the first 'customer', but I allowed them to use it at no charge. I got one p

I am certain the users do not get confused about the arrows. However, if you can wrap your head around it, it might actually look like it is pointing at the message itself, but that would have no actual meaning to a person. It might be mis

Perhaps an icon to the right that is an X or minus sign that would collapse the thread could work.

By the time someone aquires 500 points, they will likely have spent enough time on the site to learn the distinction between the two. While using text labels would be fine, I do not think that would be better than using the symbols. The re

The profits for a drug to cure every kind of cancer would be astronomical. You seem to have the assumption that when cancer is killed it cannot return. But, it can. Mutations happen often and because of this, cancer would happen often.

You put this wonderfully. People are very little more than our experience with the world itself. Without external stimuli, we would be trapped within our own minds and only be capable of evaluating a limited set of possibilities. Merely

I had to look up "FizzBuzz" to know what you mean, but you are correct. (I have actually been asked to write programs like this, and this is great even if it is minimal. I think the questions may need to be a bit more complex than this, b

Perhaps an email based recovery system could be added for people in this situation if email accounts are maintained in the HN database. (I think they are.)

One of the arguments for this proposal was the protection of trademarked names; however, the registration for protection would not be needed if this change was never implemented. It seems to cause more problems than it solves. I can see w

If a person is a self-taught programmer with ten years of experience working in a good company, then you are obviously programming for that company in a sufficient capacity even if you are unable to solve puzzles offered up by human resourc

I was going to submit this same story. I really appreciate you changing the title of the story, though. The Bloomberg headline makes it sound like he is no longer a billionaire. He is still super rich, just not in the top 40.

This was one of the first things I thought when reading this. It is so easy for this to become another situation where oversaturation makes it a flawed platform. The reason the protest against SOPA worked is because everyone jumped on boa

Clothing manufacturers, cotton producers, and even fast food chains are included in these totals. It is simply an attempt to make people think that the movie and music industries contribute jobs when that is simply not the case. Even I de

Oh, and to add more... JavaScript, HTML, and CSS are primarily client side languages. You can learn these by simply creating content in an HTML file on your own computer if you do not even have a web site. If you want to do anything with d

You will need to know HTML and CSS. They are basically easy, but you want to create some static pages first. Next, you will want to try using Ruby on Rails or PHP. PHP is probably easier to learn but its functions are less intuitive. Yo
