So, MS don't know shit because windows are square.
olh··on Ask HN: I'm an Army of One Man; what title do I use within my company?
This sounds in check with the reality. Not sounding like a big corporate nor as an underground start-up.
olh··on Hackful - A Hacker News for Europe
Without too much rhetoric: haters gonna hate.
olh··on How Did Israel Become “Start-Up Nation”?
I am sure not "half" and not "would not exist". This article gives a good tldr of Israel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_technology_in_Israe...

Pre-made css for design-handicapped people like me and web design framework for designers.
olh··on Crowd-sourced political lobby
As a non-american, it's a cultural mind-blow to think that you guys need to pay your guys-in-charge so they do their jobs properly.
olh··on No New Accounts Today
pg, could you post the HN traffic stats for today as a post-mortem style post?
olh··on Military technology: Magic bullets
For 500 meters against the wind it would not guarantee a stable velocity, thus not a stable path length over certain time (it would probably be non-linear to calculate).

So, it seems to exist a correlation between the RPM of the projectile and its velocity over wind's influence that guarantee a linear calculation over the RPM of the projectile.

S02E02 can prove that.

We all shall replace reality with fantasy so not-so-bright people can be able to write about it.

olh··on Dear procrastinator
tldr: "The reason why human-beings procrastinate is to feel in control of their life."

The other parts are contradictions.

Third time someone crack it this year.
olh··on Rapportive just turned Gmail into a really useful Twitter client
That guy must be really, really, mad. Who would not like "allow access to data on mail.google.com"?
olh··on latinoup, HN for southern guys
Yes, it is a subreddit: /r/latinoup
olh··on latinoup, HN for southern guys
After hijacking some HN posts, we, in the southern part of the continent, saw the need for a locale path.

And here it is: http://latinoup.org/

It's pretty wannabe at the moment. Feel free to submit HN-like news in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

We hope that latinoup will help to concentrate our local hacker community in the same way HN does it.

Feedback wanted, if possible.

I'll just wait for the DNS propagation and then I'll "Tell HN".

My thoughts, exactly.
olh··on Ask HN: Looking for hackers in Argentina
Brazilian here. Anyone else in to create a "HN wannabe" for us southern guys?

Edit: no hijack intended; there are a bunch of hackers in Foz do Iguaçu, if that matters.

olh··on Doat.com is the Future of the Mobile Browser
The HN implicit political correctness unable me of writing "tits or gtfo" as a representation of my rebel spirit within this case.
olh··on Richard Feynman on education in Brazil
Brazilian CS undergrad here. Although this is a 50's view, some aspects are still valid.

I study in a technical park inside one of the biggest hydroelectric dams in the world. Some of my professors are renowned engineers working in the dam; but many others are unqualified and became professors just by passing an admission test.

The thing is: my university is public and once you are in, as a professor or student, you will only get out if you decide so or if you do something seriously unethical.

So, as a professor, if you are in, you can do almost whatever you want: you won't be fired. You can produce shitty research papers because you do not need to have "results" like in the private sector; and it's the same for the teaching.
