[go easy on the non-tech guy] A couple I've thought up but never had the time or know how to make. If you want to take any of these and run feel free, if you'd like to talk more about any my email is in my profile: -A…
Why is everyone in such a rush to compare this to facebook? I believe emmett was just trying to point out that OP's argument was essentially "they're not going to make $1.5b ever, trust me". Which frankly sounds a lot…
First, if you want to talk Darwinism you need to get your terms right. "It's not the strongest who survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most adaptable to change." Charles Darwin. By (incorrectly) calling…
I call bullshit on your malarkey. I get not liking "the 1%" but you do the exact same thing by using the word "handouts". You swapped one co-opted term for another. One can only assume you really mean "welfare" when you…
You're missing the point. First nice =! expensive. It's a subjective term meant to allow you to find your own definition. The whole point is one you seem to be in need of (don't focus on "specs" or "definitives" and…
I hate to be the debbie downer here. I love her ambition and ability to market herself, but when you are attempting to sell yourself as a visual & UX designer shouldn't your design be original? Both this page and…
Wait, so are you claiming that upon receiving the study material these kids had to have known they were cheating? Or they knew they were cheating upon receiving the test? Because the former is preposterous. It was a…
hmm, now this is new information that in my quick reading i missed. though even with this i would side with what sph said below. The fact that 200 students (and not something like 10) got the guide tells me the original…
oh give it a rest with the "my(older) generation acted with morals/humility/respect while your(younger) generation has no morals/shame/responsibility" it's an old script that gets repeated with every generation around…
These students (or their parents) are paying UCF to provide them with this education and then to certify their education with a diploma. The responsibility does not fall to the students to inform a professor that due to…
What you don't believe the defensiveness was merited? The top comment on HN (with 136 karma) was run4yourlives decrying his generation's lack of humility and saying "You are not fucking special in any way shape or…
First - do everyone a favor and throw this "If I say bullshit enough people will think I'm good at spotting it" mindset out. While you're at leave the "there's a lot of loser talk in this thread" talk to trolls. Second…
I'd say your response added just as much noise and introduced a degree of intolerance not necessary to the conversation. Let the non-helpful comments die a silent lonely death, no need to get haughty about it.
I can't down vote this sort of snark enough... insolence doesn't look good on anyone
if i were you, i'd be grateful that people chime in with any thoughts at all that's a bit much don't you think? HN is a community based around learning about/discussing this exact sort of thing. he asked an earnest…

i love this post, not so much for what they said- none of it too terribly surprising- but for what commenter #3 (Mike Cane) had to say: Really, I feel like banging my head against a wall by leaving this Comment, but…
I'm going to have to disagree with just about everything you wrote there... However, twitter isn't about engagement. It's not about communication. It's about broadcasting 1->many Why does "communication" only count…
hmm i've seen that statement somewhere before... oh yeah: the end of second paragraph under "Why I'm Particularly Impressed With This"
This is exactly what Friedrich Nietzsche was talking about when he said; "160. One no longer loves one’s insight enough once one communicates it." [Beyond Good & Evil (1886)] The story is that Nietzsche returns from…

wow i have to say i'm a little astonished at the emotional (and largely negative) responses from people to Arrington simply announcing to his readers that he is back. he wasn't trying to start a flame war. he simply let…
Short: consider a user flow that changes the index page for returning visitors. Response: i think they may be on to something. Subtly implemented this could really make me wander back to a site, at least for one more…
please oh please tell me this is just a great level... otherwise... i guess now is a good time to read up on the following topics: wikipedia, the onion, thick sarcasm, rick astley
