"High Performance" anything tends to mean doesn't last too long and more expensive when it breaks. I'm sure the 19" standard tires are a little better on both counts.

I would imagine that there is always the chance of 'false negatives' (people you call as failures that eventually succeed), but they are probably pretty bang on with identifying positives. As an investment first that pretty much t

That's not contradictory to what the quote says. In fact, "do it now" is pretty much exactly what he's saying when he says most men die with the song still in their heart. Moot point however, the quote is a missed one. H

Actually, the advantage of science is that it can predict the future in an accurate fashion. Ergo: I know x will happen because when all the variables are the same in the past, x has always happened. The accuracy of the prediction is what

This completely ignores that you have choice. You can go get another beer, as would be expected given you had three previously and chose to come to a bar, or you can choose to go home and sleep, or get in your car and drive, or swear off

um, yes. I've got a major business system running on django right now. I'm also just starting a new one on the same platform. I personally couldn't care less what the flavour of the day is, because I'm not chasing celebr

Made by some concerned youths I don't think he's too far off. Point being getting so pissed to make an entire website about a company you don't like says more about you than it does the company.

This is an ad. It's only vaguely disguised as a how to, even if it is something many HN'ers are dealing with.

>I personally do not see how SMBs can compete when they are paying 4x more for labor. This makes the error of assuming that the only thing a consumer values is cost. That isn't actually the case, but it varies greatly.

Companies have a legal obligation to maximize shareholder profits, but that doesn't directly translate into how they treat their employees. If company directors felt that hiring the 'best' employees at a premium was actually

There is nothing stopping the union from re-negotiating the contract that exists today, the same way management wanted to re-negotiate the contract that previously existed.

The child needs to be at the right level to understand the concept before they can be coached to do it. The book is aimed for 6 year olds, so, I'm using that age. Teaching a corner kick to a 6 year old is a waste of time. (at least in

Well, that's not what I'm saying. What I am saying is that women are less tolerant of assholes, and there is nothing wrong with that. Women (overall of course, individuals vary) and men in general have different social cues and ex

Agreed and disagreed. It's not healthy to be permanently offended, but presenting an idea and being told that it isn't good (by someone presenting no alternative) or that you have ulterior motives (by readers of a website directed

Why? Do you find that uncomfortable? A lot of women do. So do a lot of men. Computer science is filled with people on the poor side of "social skill set", and that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. That's why there are less

No, because the audience is clearly unsatisfied with only having those options. What a bigoted comment. OP is praising diversity, and you are suggesting what, exactly? That there isn't an issue if everyone in a field approaches a probl

Thanks for this comment. I thought I was the only one feeling this. I'd say this is a perfect example of why there aren't more women in computers. From what I've seen, a lot of women have a low tolerance for this level of ove

I don't think you are an "enemy" of anyone, however I do think that the Catholic church's position here isn't very logical. The church does now support family planning by using a woman's cycle, which in doing

Indeed, and I've found HN is (for the interwebs at least) pretty tolerant of unpopular opinions, provided there is substance behind them. Regardless I hope you never feel burdened at sharing your opinions again. You and I are very diff

Well, I'll add this then to your experiences: Having my sons was the best thing that ever happened in my life, and I can think of no event in the future that could ever compare to the joy and pride that I feel every day that is a direc

Thanks for the conversation. I hope I encouraged you to not to be afraid of voicing the reasoning behind your opinion in the future. Dialogue is the best way to learn and grow.

Better Income and/or Health begets better actions, generally. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a real thing. It's rather difficult to be noble when you are starving. That isn't to say it's impossible, but if we are ta

That's an interesting stance that I see no evidence to support. The urge to procreate is tremendously powerful. In many cases it is even more powerful that the urge for sex, believe it or not. I think you are massively understating it.
