The only law in economics is Say's law.

May I ask which netbook you have?

>This couldn't have been out of spite. Just to kick Google off the platform.

I think you are being generous. I really think that's what it was about. It actually is the Occam's Razor explanation.

Do you really believe that the professor said they are not allowed to consult each other in person but may consult each other online?

That sounds like conjecture to me. I mean it sounds good but ultimately it's just a story you came up with retroactively.

It's still a marketer.

I see what you're saying, but doesn't somebody, somewhere have to look at it to make sure it is CP first?

Wow. Just wow. The Microsoft redesign that was submitted a month or so ago was.. okay. But this is absolutely horrid. When they got rid of the nod to all the other languages it couldn't be saved.

Great interview and it makes me respect Schwartz even more. It takes balls to admit to mistakes at the level he was at, too.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. It's pretty much spot on.

Right. Think counter-terrorism.

It wouldn't be HN anymore at that point.

I can tell you I don't use G+ to play games.

I hope it's not just Mechanical Turk.

I find it really hard to care about this. I'm amazed other people here seem to be up this in arms about it.

I don't see what's so wrong with what Facebook did. Go after college students. They probably wouldn't mind obsessively checking two social networks anyway.

Oh my lord I'd maybe be okay hearing that at a club but couldn't imagine coding in one. Give me downtempo to work to any day. R.I.P. DJ Dusty's Afternoon Nap.

Please enlighten us as to what's the thing now and any internet radio stations playing it. I'm always curious as to what's current elsewhere.

You didn't answer the question.

>Also, if your degree is in English, the best I can do is point you here [Tired, old, and stereotypical Starbucks link Hurr durr].

Really? Was that necessary? Why can't someone with an English background learn to code especially with burgeoning fields like NLP.

I just use diigo to save HN discussions and Evernote to clip articles I want to archive.

Is there any way to watch this without iTunes? I don't use it and have no desire to join Apple's 'ecosystem'.

I'm not sure. I think it's a thorough analysis of this so-called "problem" that made the rounds. I especially appreciated the conclusion, that not only is it not a paradox with no answer, but a broken paradox at that.

So they're competing with Starbucks at that point. (Or partnering since much of the coffee in B&N is Starbucks already.)

Don't forget that both parents work in many more families between the studies. Maybe people are just getting time in with their kids when they can and that includes errands.

Nyet. The site won't let you add it to your cart.

Question, what do the long hours that are part of investment banking fall under. I haven't worked in it but might yet so I'm curious. I know there's a lot to do in a short amount of time in terms of the mood of the stock market like a small business, but c'mon, these are smart people, surely they can streamline some of these processes.

It's a laptop.

Well.. as someone else pointed out already: Johnathans Card is a social experiement. If we can all agree on that then anything arising out of that is a result of that experiment. This includes the intended use of 'yuppies treating other yuppies to coffee' and Odio's unexpected snatching of funds. People's outrage is also an outgrowth of the experiment just as much as your comment and this very reply I'm typing to you. We can go as meta as we want here.

I join others' in disappointment with Odio's abusing the card beyond it's original stated intent per Johnathan. He may feel it's justified but that's up for each person on their own to decide for themselves and he doesn't seem to understand that. And yes, people are giving up control. But when people give money to a school with the intent of it going to a new building and the school does something else with it, you (the giver) have a right to be pissed.

How about if you gave to one cause and someone routed it to a different one they felt was more worthy. Even though most people will argue that Odio's charity IS more worthy, it still doesn't give him that right to decide. If it were money going to WWF and he rerouted it to The American Cancer Society, again, you'd be pissed.

And from reading the comments here, I think people don't realize that the reason Google is insisting on real names is so they can be a central identity management and login service which Facebook is trying to do now.
