I see this argument often, and this is how I generally respond. Benefits can almost always be compensated for with more money. 401(k), heath, dental, paid time off -- all of these things are just anot…

The paradox depends on the possibility of always being able to double the amount. This isn't true. Swapping once will either double or half the amount; swapping back will just do the opposite.

But Facebook facilitates blocking individuals -- you don't have to completely close your account. The same is true -- or, should be true -- for many other social applications. If an app has a soc…

#1 is why I think HN should show up vote counts to the non-authors. I think the tone of HN would seem less negative if we could see how many people actually agreed with the comment everyone else is ar…

So you're knowingly misrepresenting the data?

I would say because it was in response to a question about why he preferred one over the other.

I agree, and I wasn't trying to diminish his role. I was just trying to understand where the "co-founder" in the title came from. How did the submitter know he was truly a co-founder? I couldn't find …

I've not been following the Oculus Rift very much, other than waiting for its release and keeping an eye on which games might support it once it's released. So I don't really know much of the history …

Of course it makes sense they would offer support for Adwords -- a product with which they draw in revenue. This article, however, talks about their Adsense product, with which they pay customers. And…

I agree but I think, as a general rule on HN, that any repost - or maybe any article dated earlier than the current date - should include the date in the title.

> Flash market is still there, and it's growing. Do you have a reference for this? Not that I have a reference to the contrary, but I'm not getting this impression at all based on the increasing…

I don't think Adobe abandoned Flash -- they saw the writing on the wall due to declining support. It started with Apple coming out and officially stating[1] why they thought Adobe was bad for their de…

> I've still got a Commodore 64 complete with tape deck and more games than I can count, I'll probably never part with it and to this day it still works better than any console or computer I've o…

Does someone know of any sites that implement this pattern, or even better, well known sites that implement this pattern?

> But people often need to parse URLs before they provide them to their computers (via click or keyboard) Users don't provide URLs unless they type them in the address bar. And if they're doing …

I disagree with many points of this article, and actually feel the reverse is true: URLs are for computers , not people . To me, a URL is an address to a web site, not the title (or description)…

> Dear Apple, I’d love to see you implement this in Apple Maps. Dear developers, I’d love to see you implement this in any pinch-to-zoom app. Better yet: Dear Apple, I’d love to see you implemen…

Yeah, I sometimes think sensitivity to input lag is very subjective. Also, another factor is the TV and/or receiver (if they have Ouya going through one). But surely Polygon editors would factor this …

> This was most apparent in the Ouya port of Canabalt. On iOS, Canabalt is a game of twitch reflexes. On the Ouya, I needed to react much earlier, knowing it would take an inordinate amount of ti…

> I don't know where this is coming from. Polygon's hands-on review mentions this latency, along with a few other criticisms, including the feel of the controller: http://www.polygon.com/2013/3…

Yeah, I think my original point got lost. I certainly agree that you have to work things out within yourself before you can start to focus on others. The main point of my post was a reaction to the po…

Oh yeah, I definitely agree with that. But to me, personal "maintenance" has more to do with introspecting on things are stopping you from moving forward as a person. Intelligence and success, I think…

But not even in the scope of society. I agree, that's hard, and if you can pull it off, you will reap great rewards. But I'm also talking about being a positive influence on others around you. To your…

Am I the only one who thought this was somehow related to the Wii (and its Mii's) or otherwise related to Nintendo? In other words, had the title been "MiiPC: $99" (without the "Android PC" part), I w…

One seemingly obvious problem to this (at least the way you describe it, maybe not the way it's actually proposed - I didn't read it) is that this would disincentivize spending, and incentivize saving…
