Here's a more pop-sci explanation of this form of bias from the new york times in case anyone sees these comments. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/03/upshot/a-quick...

This writer is trying to say that positive economics is flawed because of the flaws of normative economics. It is possible to make a well-constructed argument that positive economics is deeply flawed, but this article does not make that arg

This is a really flawed way at looking at the market. Including tablets and smartphones in the PC market doesn't work because most people have a PC and a table and a phone.

This could really use a lot of editing. Far too much of it is whining about slow internet that doesn't reach a meaningful conclusion, but instead generalizes from his anecdote. If anyone is reading comments before reading the article, I rec

This will be so useful in all my new projects! I'm using this and that other one character javascript framework I remember seeing. Anyone have a link?

It seems like it's really getting killed under the load. This also isn't the first node project demo I've seen deployed that gets destroyed by a bunch of people visiting it to check it out. Anyone have some tips for deploying Node in a mann

I totally agree with this. I thought it was a joke. I didn't think frat guys were actually learning to code and calling themselves programmers or something... The point of this blog post is basically that it doesn't matter if you program or

Are you fucking kidding me? The words "desk" and "photo" are linked to store results from this site? No thanks, this is 2012, that's not how we monetize content anymore.

Pg 43- "[REDACTED] commented that, although he does not consider Mr. Jobs to be a friend at this time, he considers Mr. Jobs to be a successful individual because he can delegate tasks to individuals." I wonder who that woz?

I would rather do what this guy did then spend 40 years of my life trying to get people to click ads. It sounds like he didn't enjoy his job on wall street. I wouldn't enjoy a job as a facebook developer. We all have our opinions.

Occupy Wall St. arguably didn't do much to affect Washington, or the regulations that affect the firms that protesters were blaming. I'm not experienced in these matters, but it seems to me like a wiser alternative would be to found some ki

In my opinion, the quality of content on HN has plummeted since SOPA became an internet issue. It is reminiscent of how the Digg community stopped caring about interesting stories and instead became wrapped up in its own cycles of bullshit,

I guess these just don't match my personal definition of a software bug... I was expecting an unexpected result as a product of good programming. This is just "5 reasons this line of javascript shouldn't have been written" and seems to be m

They did it to protect jobs. Sun claimed to have to cut 3000 jobs because of the EU approval delay. The US probably was trying to rush them so the merger could go through and Sun would not go bankrupt. It's all in the cable. Read it for you

Saw the font size, closed the window. You have a column that is 330px wide? Make it twice that width, and increase the font size.

From experience, I can tell you that you will feel a lot better about what you create and you will feel a lot more confident in your code if you are creating things according to proven design patterns and not just hacking together applicati
