I think you should just accept how other people want to discuss things on the internet. If you can't handle the mainstream then find a niche were your own brand of 'intellectual' discussion is enforced by nazi moderation (don't take my Godw

You seem to know your way round words so I'd advise freelance writing. Submit a few articles to a few places that are relevant to your interests and fairly current. Naturally taking time to get a feel for the style on the site. Make sure th

If someone else is cc'ed in then people feel pressure to reply as they aren't just ignoring one person, there's a whole other person expecting a reply. Even if that person is someone they've never met, or know of.

This is not a satisfactory experiment, at least from the article, which may be making the wrong conclusion from a study that doesn't make that claim itself. The problem is that the Yupno could have a divergent mental makeup from other races

This is so dumb. If a business wants it's latest idea/product to be kept on the down low then you should just respect that. Don't get all high and mighty about it. A business is entitled to keeping its projects under wraps, its how they sta

Make a website offering a free service that a moderate amount of people would use/could be convinced to use. Monetise via ads, and bam passively fund yourself for a few months whilst the site rises and fades. Amount of income depends on sit

This is what I was thinking, and since this guy said it, I gave him an upvote. Now I'm not sure if I'm making a mockery of the system or falling for it...

Any attempt at interstellar travel in the near-future is likely to be pointless only because humanity will likely invent a faster way of travelling between stars before the first mission is completed. Why send a craft toward the nearest sta

Just got trolled, and I like the point the troll makes, it's a good troll which is rare these days.

That'd be nice. I've posted once, emailed HN, don't seem to be able to flag but would if I could. HN guidelines say don't make a fuss in thread, but really this has gone on too long.

Uh, that's awesome. Actually really well laid out and visually appealing, and understandable. EDIT: ooh actually, could do with an option to remove/add the sliding time selection. I'm finding it hard to revert to my current local time once

The video of the flight just screams fake, it's like the uncanny valley feeling. You just know something is wrong with what you're watching. Almost there though, all very elaborate.

Should be obvious but put it up on Reddit too, free marketing. Though it's kind of pot luck whether your submission will draw attention, although somebody else might copy your submission and that may get better attention. And hey who cares?

You just spam the same blog everyday, every few hours sometimes. Please stop, this isn't news anymore. I don't like to complain on HN as everything here is usually interesting to someone, but nobody likes spam.

No car. Simply because the upfront cost was too much, fuel just keeps getting higher and public transport/walking has been completely adequate. Only time I've needed a car is when moving house, but even then a hired Van has proven far more

There's two aspects of running a business in question here. One is the bureaucracy of reporting your existence and finances to the Companies House and HMRC, the other is managing yourself and any employees. The former has become so complex
