Interesting issue. I wonder if it would be possible for a country to set up an extremely long copyright term (with a huge administrative fee) that would have to be respected under US law (and other adopters of the treaty). I'm sure many mu

We should also consider the media message we'd be sending to the uninformed. A site called Hacker News opposes SOPA; what do you think the average person's response to that would be? Frankly I think that HN is the wrong vehicle to bring

Stop by #4clojure on freenode, the site devs hang out there (myself included) and happily give pointers on problems. Also, the main #clojure channel, while busy, is a great resource -- Clojure has a pretty welcoming community.

He was my favourite thinker and orator, I'm very sad to see him go.

About 14 cents per download (streams are probably even smaller) on the lowest tier of S3 (once you're over 10TB/mo it gets even cheaper).

I think that's backwards. Make Science/Engineering cheaper and liberal arts more expensive... arts degrees should be considered luxury items: nice to have but not strictly necessary. I think many people would be better off not going to Un

He has a string of accomplishments that still live on in active development... and he made it to 84. That's a good run.

The WSJ is saying the opposite: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3105596 They're both probably right, investors can be more selective with the glut of entrepreneurs while still paying out top dollar for great companies/deals.

The tricky thing is that project management is a very mature industry, so saying that I'm going to build a badass PM tool says even less -- my thought was to focus on the reason for building the tool. My take is that project management in

I've been refining this application for the past few weeks -- but I'm always looking for any feedback I can get. Let me know if you think I should make any last-minute changes (or even what you liked/disliked about it). Just a reminder tha

31 feet. Ant jumps off the wall and onto the floor (no walking necessary, and easily survivable), walk straight across the 30 foot floor and 1 foot up the wall.

You're right that sucks. But if you think about it it's probably more of a technical issue than evil policy, just imagine the permission graph for visiting one of your friend's profiles -- FB would have to do a reverse lookup of all of you

From story: - Lease a 4 bed apartment, get better rates by paying full year of rent in advance (not easy for most people). - Sublet the 3 remaining rooms at near market rate. - Accept the risk of default and/or not finding tenants. What you

You can now also follow other users and see their solutions... not always idiomatic (esp with the code golfers) but it still gives great insight to different ways to solve problems. Also, its not just for beginners, there are some genuinel

Anyone have a link to the study referenced in here which says people prefer bing results to google's when logos are reversed? This seems like something MSFT's marketing department would be trumpeting at every opportunity... EDIT: The clos

Groupon probably damaged software IPO sentiment, and people want to see how Google+ will play out. Also, they don't really need the cash and waiting will allow them to build a consistent revenue history (which will probably be disclosed, a

I read it a few months back, it's still a good read. PG's blog posts aren't easily dated, as you'll often see posts from 5 years ago linked here on HN.

I appreciate the sentiment, but that seems unnecessarily expensive with modern hardware.

You don't need an estimate of an appropriate equity stake, what you need is leverage. Even if you asked for a single share tomorrow, it doesn't sound like they have any reason to give it to you. Find the places where the bus factor is low

Can someone explain the rationale behind Wikipedia deletionists? I don't understand their motives.

I met Reed at StartupSchool last year, he was pretty passionate about this project -- and it was clear they were on to something. I hope Google continues the project, there's lots of potential here. Congrats to the team!

I think its good for users to associate "App Store" with a generic place to find and download applications on any platform; like the terms "program" and "browser" it helps to have standard ways of communicating basic concepts of computer/de
