oabm··on Bay Area attracts the most startups – but NYC, Boston, and LA are catching up
I believe it's the percentage of the total city population that are both 25-34 and have a degree. Not the percentage of 25-34 year-olds with a degree.
oabm··on A Visionary Project Aims for Alpha Centauri, a Star 4.37 Light-Years Away
It might be easier to fire the lasers from the moon, but getting the lasers to the moon would be a huge pain.
oabm··on Diff So Fancy: make Git diffs look good
What happened to this line from the second file in the screenshot?

  -        var optionsGlassPane = new WebInspector.GlassPane(document);

An important part of viewing diffs for me is seeing what the old code was.
oabm··on Show HN: An Isomorphic JavaScript Framework Faster Than React
I'm just generally not a big fan of "X is some percent slower than Y" stats, because I find them counterintuitive. However, in this case I think something is wrong.

Rendering:

  jsblocks: 700ms
  React:    950ms (35% slower)
  Angular: 2200ms (310% slower)

Doing some maths:

  700ms + (700ms * 0.35) = 945ms
  700ms + (700ms * 3.10) = 2870ms
Looks like they got a little carried away when calculating Angular's rendering speed. Same thing with the "Syncing Changes" stats.
