bored··on Steve Jobs was initially opposed to apps
No shit. It's very unlike Steve Jobs to suggest using other products with his own. That's like admitting their products are insufficient.

bored··on The natural evolution from side project to full-time business
I find that doing a side project along with your day job is more of a psychological problem. You lose motivation knowing you can just stop your project with no real consequences. I think you need to make some sacrifices (maybe not quit your day job) in order force yourself to put in a lot of effort.

'No censorship' doesn't sound like a universal human right at all.
bored··on Ask HN: Evolution writes very poor code. So why is biology research rewarding?
If you see things that way, then yes, DNA code is not very elegant or parsimonious. There are plenty of sequences that don't do anything (as far as we know).
bored··on Ask HN: I'm doing a series of lectures on entrepreneurship - what should i say?
And make sure to demphasize the importance of the "idea." Sure it's important, but not nearly as much as newbie entrepreneurs think.
bored··on Will Higher Education Be the Next Bubble to Burst?
I don't think we need to take universities away, just the unnecessary competition-induced crap that makes them so expensive. The "college experience" we all hear about can be done on a way smaller budget. And like you mention, universities probably aren't the best at it anyways.
