You are right it does seem more political then financial. Advising people to support charities would be financial advice, wouldn't it? I think its pretty good advice something like "Attempt to give 1% of your income to a good cause for when things go wrong"

What does HN think about the last statement? -Promote social programs for when things go wrong

How to we make it fashionable to acknowledge this?

sweet idea, i hope it catches on

Is this a dangerous thing to put on ones website at all?

I am in favor of this line of thinking, there's a lesson to take out of this about finding a way to make sure you get paid.

I didn't find much of this article very stimulating but the last comment made a very good point about fields in general:

"So why aren’t there more people drawn into the[any] field out of sheer interest? Because when you’re poor, which most of the world is, money is more important than passion. It’s not until you reach a near First-World level of development that pursuing your passions rather than escaping poverty seems like a reasonable and/or admirable thing to do."

Incorrect, a bunch of students with failed/successful experience is better than a bunch of students who go to college, because they were "suppose" to.

I think its best to opt for more freedom, when it comes to picking who they want to spend their adulthood. These new paths aren't for everyone but that's why we should consider this an alternate solution, not a one size fits all one.

So can we start a discussion on the use of those "no, no" type things. Is there any time they are worth using? (By the way, i really liked the title, I think this idea applies a lot of places outside of just CEOs)

"Its not about about confidence, its about courage, courage is the action of doing something despite the fear"

I don't understand why facebook doesn't charge to have a fan page. I mean this is something that I think that you should absolutely charge for.

Put the Go Pro higher on the page like towards the top cause some of us want to give you are money as easy as possible!

I loved this.To loosely quote PG: "You shouldn't be focusing on the end goal or final dream, but questioning what opportunities you have at hand and picking from those" or to put simply don't be so future oriented you never know what opportunities will be available then so you should focus on your opportunities now.

I really enjoyed that read, well done. I didn't find toys to disappoint me very much. I love love loved my action figures when I was a kids. But my nephews boredom with his toys fits right into the picture you've written.

I love the idea, but I am left not knowing what to do next. It ends with a bunch of motivational stuff, give me direct challenges! some concrete action steps and you have yourself a full blogpost article thing thats awesome and can really change the status quo

You're completely right for some people. But alot of people think that fun can't be had without alcohol. And its catchy title. But your right, it could say simply "You don't need alcohol to have fun"

Would it be almost fair to compare the EU to the United States?

Overconfidence teaches you your limits, live and learn

So is this site like a TryRuby deal?

This is very interesting news, but I am scared that there will be a bit of a backlash against this post because of its political nature, on HN specifically.

How do people feel about Ron Paul's standpoint on Net Neutrality?

Yay for the mention of the Pomodoro Method, it is quite effective and has gotten me through college.

Your reasoning however for learning to be interrupted in our life, is something I am not necesarily sure about. Are humans just simply bad at long stretches of focus? I am not sure but i am and thats why I use the pomodoro.

Good idea, I hate the fact that directories force everyone into sections, What about a Games start up?

What is it that you do for a living?

How do you balance that with the culture of patenting and fear of ideas being stolen?

Does anyone have any updates on his search?

Yeah, it takes some concerted effort to realize its happenning and to relax back into sleep.

Can you make it so that I can send my friends a URL of the Artist i have chosen on Tubalr

Thank you for the upload, I think this guys got a great point, and opens the game up to whoever wants to step up, The Anonymous Facebook.

He speaks to a lot of awesome points that hit home with me. Especially about the forums we used as kids, and the privacy with that. /endlovefest

I agree with this author completely. To his point George R.R. Martin thinks that fan-fiction is a bad exercise that doesn't force you enough out of your element.

People write your own games and change them enough not get sued(hey, at least you get to be creative)

I hope he gets to see your comment b/c its not something that would get mentioned by his coders. So do you feel like its a good idea on paper for managers to know the nature of the programmers work that well?
