Don't use assembly, period. I can make things go more than 10 times faster in assembly. My main job is as manager/entrepreneur but I could read-write assembly as a result of my experience and I help-guide other people easily. In t

I wouldn't call it "investment money". Have you seen the graphs going down(tech bubble burst 2001 and 2008). I will call it "Money press printing money", or "let's save those that make poor decisions in th

Am I the only one that looking at what the kids are doing in the pictures consider it totally normal? In Spain we used to do way more dangerous things than those. And it was risky, one of our friends died in the river jumping over a slipper

Not the main problem by far. I had backed hundreds of projects. Next year I would make a thousand or so. How many scams I got into? Zero. It is pretty easy to spot who is serious and who is not, who will deliver and who wont. The great thin

Well, one of the reasons we hear a lot about VR, like 3d printing is that key patents have expired. What are they going to patent? Having a gyroscope in your head? A screen attached to your eyes? low persistence screens(valve idea)?

It is creepy to have a company know: Your sexual habits. Haw many partners you have , how, where, when you have sex with them. Facebook and google log your mobile phone GPS coords. Your political views. What your friends thing about you bet

I agree with your analysis. In my opinion, everything that facebook says is true, today, but could be different tomorrow. Like a marriage, when you are young and life is good is very different from when you get older, and life gets tough. T

Congrats!, great work. This has lots of useful applications. E.g Do you know those graphics about a submarine of the WW2, or a Spanish galleon in which you could see what is inside, like in the book "incredible cross sections"? W

Man, first thing: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You are not the first human to become addicted, nor will be the only one. There are people out there that have been in a worse situation than you and that have gone out of addictions. You should find tho

Me too. We created a group for competing breaking protections on commercial programs. It was more than patching things with NOPs( ), but correcting checksums and so on. We never released the programs once without protection. It was fun. ( )

It seems bureaucracy has come to HN. I personally won't follow the new rules. I prefer not to comment anymore. I was one of the early users of HN, this alone made me have enormous karma and influence out of nothing. I forgot the passwo

Yeah, given that they have most of the code already done for drawing the browser screen(text, buttons, icons...), it probably makes sense for them to do so. With Qt they will depend on a different company with different interest in mind.

I am not Indian, but from a European country, and I had lots of things in common with this person when I created my start up. When you want to change the world, nobody understands you. Then suddenly things start working, and everybody &quot

And protesters being shot in Ukraine seems kinda trivial when you consider what is happening on Syria, Iraq, or in lots of African countries. Here we have(Spain) a refugee from Africa that was forced to kill his parents as a kid, his sister

Saying that intelligence, fitness or any other quality does not matter is living in the future, in an alternate universe. Probably it won't matter in the future, but it matters today. Probably in the future it won't matter, but if

When someone does not create a confrontation scene, it does not mean that he approves... Only a very small minority of people will actually come and break your glasses, so yes, you can get away with it being a glasshole, most of the time. A

Have you tried Stevia? It grows really well in my backyard. Smells badly(but tastes sweet) but is a great sugar replacement for making lemonade or ice cream or sweets without the high glycemic index. You also probably have to learn to brush

Well, this is not news at all. Americans used to consume 8 kilos of butter a year 40 years ago and lots of other fats too. Now they consume much less fat(but low quality like palm oil), much more sugar, and they are terribly overweight. Peo

Well, in my opinion web programming and native are blending together. The web approaches native, with asm.js and webgl. It is not just a document anymore. Native approaches web, just look at what Apple, or Dropbox are doing(they use native
