Am I the only one that thinks that the picture of the woman in the "Words: Tell your pictures story" section named "Lena Campbell" looks exactly like retired porn start Erica Campbell? Just sayin'

I guess I'm a little less accomodating than the teacher in this article. I believe that he should have to go through all of that (and almost whatever else gets thrown his way). People that fought for the rights of 'the other side' of his beliefs endured much much worse for a long long time. (for the record, I'm a college instructor and I would have handled this student in class just as the professor in the article did but I probably wouldn't have engaged in any conversations about his out of class activities with him at all).

My first thought was "this is about as narcissist as you can get". But, it's still pretty damn cool. Nice job.

I did at one point but I can't remember the password for that account.

I have a friend who's a pilot for one of the major commercial airlines. He uses his iPhone during flights all the time (seems to be common among pilots). I guess only the passengers are subject to the regulations. Though, I do realize that the pilots can easily turn theirs off if there's an issue; it's a little harder to track down the phone causing problems if it's one of the passengers'.

Regardless, the data doesn't seem to concretely prove that phones are causing any of the problems

Yes, the state

True. Not only does the US as a nation spend more on healthcare than almost anyone else, US citizens also spend more on healthcare than citizens of almost any other country. So the govt. and the citizens are paying boat-loads--that's inefficiency.

And, it doesn't help anything that we're one of the most unhealthy nations.

"it's better to be born poor in Europe than in the US, and better to be born rich in the US than in Europe"

Absolutely fantastic comment.

"but over time you just get used to it and don't care anymore. It is part of the maturation process and realize that the world is not a fair place, and no not everybody is equal and will live equally."

This is depressing.

"This is part of life." feels like a common cop-out and downplays the fact that, if some of us put our minds to it, we could successfully make it not so much a part of life (I'm not saying we'd have some utopian equality, but it could be so much better).

That looks promising. That's kind of what I was thinking of. Thanks!

I think Warren Buffet once said that he'd give college graduates $100,000 now for 10% of their lifetime income. This kind of reminds me of that. And begs the question, should somebody build a platform to make transactions like this more easily possible?

Edit: I just remembered Upstart (https://www.upstart.com/)

yup, can't sign in.

The logo (of the Cascade site) is clearly above the fold in the upper right corner.

Like the idea, and love that you're going minimal but Google Doc powered forms might be a little too minimal. Also, might want to change the auto answer message on whatever telephony provider you're using. Props to getting on the HN homepage page with pretty much nothing though.

Very cool indeed. I spent about 20 mins messing around and was thoroughly impressed. I typically use Balsamiq Mockups but will have to try this for my next project.
