Suggesting someone to apply critical thinking is anything but. Your confrontational attitude is though. Another thing becoming of HN.

My problem with your question is the evergrowing lack of critical thinking on HN. I think even PG has eluded to it. What's the difference from Bootstrap? Why don't you view its source? Read through the framework's documentation? For one the

The origins of this survey need to be audited and investigated. Some school districts are notoriously greedy and only care about their bottom-line: test scores. The higher scores, the more money (for the district and for their salaries). I'

Their API doesn't provide this right now, but what I'd really like to see is anonymous data regarding bike movement. (assuming the bikes have GPS, they are tracked no?) I'm curious about statistics like the most frequent bike routes people

To me, an avid cyclist for more than 15 years, helmets are less about protection from a car and more about protection from bike failure or small obstacles on the road. It doesn't take a very large rock to cause your bike to crash, especiall

If you lived in NYC you would wear a helmet. Or should. And I would say NYC has more experienced cyclists than the Netherlands, considering what New Yorkers have to put up with. The dangers of NYC cycling is the density of things that can h

> The solution is to keep light gradients, light drop shadows, and some gloss. Just enough to keep a good level of usability, while not adding excessive ornamentation. I agree intensely with this. I have always preferred designs witho

Please expand, how would you see fit a framework that isn't like the rest? I'd love to know. Personally I don't see a lot of room for innovation in design. The early 2000s had its table-based designs, and micro designs with small bitmap fon

Standing all the time isn't healthy either, but one thing standing desks promote better is taking breaks more often. I'm more willing to walk around and stretch if I'm already standing, than if I'm sitting. I've been using a GeekDesk for 2

Although the author didn't go to college and had a low GPA in High School, it's evident he had a penchant for math, and therefore grasped advanced Computer Science concepts. Now take a high school graduate who sucks at math, but may be a gr

I have to agree, 150k for senior engineer? I would say 100-120k for senior engineer, 75-100k for engineer, 50-60k for intern.

I think discovering OSS projects for one's aptitude and interest is a field ripe for disruption. A few sites have been mentioned, but I think even more can be done. At the same time I wish GitHub was more newcomer friendly. If you have a fu

Posts like yours always show up too. It's cyclic insanity on HN. Any Facebook thread devolves into: "I don't use Facebook." and "Why do people on HN hate Facebook?" Any PHP post devolves into: "I hate PHP." and "Why do HNers hate PHP?" Any

I agree with the author. We should not be content with just silly iPads! Silicon Valley please start thinking "actual future" and give us some replicators and holodecks. Especially holodecks.

Thank you for this. I'm not fond of PHP, but I don't know it as well as Ruby and Python. Still, I like to read about new technologies concerning PHP. I use HN to discover new stuff, but HN is a poor resource concerning PHP. HN has tremendou

Except in my day it was detention and a call to your parents. Today it's expulsion and felony charges? Sorry, that's not part of growing up. That's ruining the rest of your life for a stupid mistake (that caused no one harm).

> tolerate the freedom that Tumblr offers I think I'm outside the ages Tumblr is marketed toward, but when you say "freedom" are you referring to lack of censorship, e.g. pornography and other obscenities?

Relying on a eCommerce company like Amazon, you're going nowhere fast. I too can make blanket ignorant statements. Google is not just an advertisement company anymore. Haven't been for awhile.

What annoys me is it's become a bandwagon for karma. Half the people bitching at Google for shutting some service down probably never even used the service. Companies kill unpopular or bad products. Google is not unique.
