erikj54··on Poll: Do you think HN should go dark in protest of SOPA?
I too agree with your view point. While it may seem like it would be a loss, it may be a first step in getting larger sites on board. It would seem impossible for sites like TechCrunch not to cover a Reedit blackout, as well as HN. If more momentum is gained perhaps the attention of congress could be reached and we can feel like we stood together.
erikj54··on Buy a home, get a US visa, Senators propose
That's true in partial. Vancouver has some interesting experiences with foreign capital investing in the housing market. It makes for a very expensive city. If the aim of this is to boost the price of the housing market, then I think this measure will do that. Whether or not that is a good thing is an entirely different issue.

Nice project Idea. Impressive creativity.
erikj54··on Entreporn, The Fallacy That Wastes Your Life
It would be neat to profile them wouldn't it? Im betting a large portion of them have found that the start-up scene and growing large is great at the beginning of your career, but perhaps stability comes into play? Kids, Wife, Health?
erikj54··on Poll: Tech Bubble?
As with anything in a good market, something of value will prevail while something that adds little value will be popped. If your product is useful your fine. If not be weary.
erikj54··on Ask HN: Hackers falling in love
I think you have all the advice you need here. Life is messy, it's not always the dream you watched in movies growing up. There is a reason musicians and poets alike have written so much about it. People talk on HN about start-ups being life, as with anything in life that gives you great reward there is a great risk. Love is no different. For you to find happiness you need to enjoy the risk of both. How you do this and manage these different aspects of your life depends on how you tell your stories.
