In venezuela there are more lawyers than taxi drivers so they end up driving cabs for living.

If you take a branch from a tree to kill a deer, can I do the same without asking for permission?

We wouldn't be here today if we couldn't.

I like what I see. Now make it available at Godaddy, Namecheap and all hosting providers for it to dethrone PHP as the king of the web.

I haven't read the tut yet but… could I write a language like python with that tutorial? If not, what would it be the best tutorial for indented syntax like python?

I'd like to have that thing on the roof of my house hooked to a powerwall, is that even possible?

Excuse my total ignorance but I don't live in the command line, so what is this sorcery you speak of useful for us mere mortals?

I really want to learn not to feel left behind.

I believe my only change has been from Notepad2 to Sublime and from Firefox to Safari.

Well yes, I live in Venezuela.

Thank socialism for that.

I wish I could use the Swift compiler from the command line instead of having to download a 10GB XCode monster over my shitty 14kb modem that will take a couple of years.

Is there a swifter option?

Java is the only STL that made the cut.

Because of Android.

In academia and corporate? Sure.

In real world? Php, Python, Ruby and Javascript still reign supreme.

Mobile is another story since main platforms are controlled by corporations, but if it were for the hobbyists neither java nor swift would have had a chance.

Put some water instead of sand, a small turbine in the neck, and you may have an interesting power generator. Perhaps a portable light bulb?

Or just install solar roofs with power walls in every single american home for 1 trillion dollars and be done with it. No need to occupy extra land or run expensive machinery and power lines all over the country.

Distributed energy is the future.

Interesting. Put it sideways, allow to save many frames and then play ASCII movies. That may start a new fad. The internet is all about fads.

Never underestimate the power of the long tail.

The web killed software versioning. Do we really care what version of HN are we reading? Or what version of Github are we using? Not at all, we just use it. Browsers are moving in that direction as well, same as OSes like Android and iOS.

Update the parts whenever needed without the user even noticing.

How much is the monthly subscription? I'd gladly pay up to $10 if they provide extra features like stock tickers, sports scores, extras, alerts, and a nice mobile app.

Btw, what are the member's advantages compared to any regular web user?

I like this better.

Not the ugly one but the modern stylized concept. It has to be beautiful to sell because if you look like a dork it will be a flop. Cue the segway.

I like my black sphere theory better, but interesting the similarity with a cone nonetheless.

I've always thought they're not really holes but black spheres that absorb everything close to them including light.

Malls and airports, for rent, $5 an hour, millions sold.

Take an orange and a lemon and separate them two yards away.

That's how they'd look from space.

I killed it five years ago and haven't missed it a bit.

I want to see the inverse.

Eleven million spins with one rotation of the shaft.

I believe the answer is not in agriculture but in nanofoods. The ability to produce food from manipulating basic elements.

But for that we need to tame energy first, then water, then food.

I believe the most important unobserved benefit from decentralized solutions is the wave of innovation it would spark.

Private moneys would compete for a slice of the pie bringing to market millions of ideas putting the pedal of progress to the metal.

They'll go to Walmart to buy a replacement the same day just like they would replace any home appliance.

By that time, I bet batteries would sell for less than a thousand, much less.

With ten billion dollars we could have one million houses with solar roofs and powerwalls, a whole city unplugged. I'd like to see government invest in a project like that.

I believe distributed generation is the future.

Can I go with the four of you?

I am Venezuelan and let me tell you, this country is the anus of the world and we don't even have toilet paper.

Please be compassionate.

Sure, money for marketing is needed, plenty of it. I meant for development, you know, funding.

The odds are not infinitesimal. Matchmaking is like a fad, you can come up with ideas every year and people will flock to your site, because not all of them work. Of course you have to break the profile/test mentality and try new venues.
