What you say is literally not true, unless that bit of text was selling for $1000: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#506

Further, YC is protected by DMCA safe harbor provisions.

Slate is more mainstream than HN, but not mainstream. Forbes is a better example of mainstream reach, but also the risk: the Forbes audience is not a quality content crowd, it's an infotainment filler crowd, and infotainment is cheap these days.

Those rare people tend to be found in places like Stanford and other great universities and successful businesses like Apple and Google...

Did you listen to that page?

"The best results were achieved by experimentees who read and listened to a text simultaneously."

Also, that page doesn't cite the research its claims rely on.

Because Waldorf is great, or because children from rich families that pay for private school tend to be intelligent?

That's likely because they promote an image that all their students are perfect. It's also possible, but doubtful, thatthey believe class grades are personal development tools, not external qualifications.

I love how you wrote "Reddit" because you had to hold the party line that HN is more sophisticated than Reddit.

Gen Y are you. The Gen Z millenials are the lazy coddled ones.

Why do you think the place for noncomforists is in an institution? Why would they want to attend an institution?

This post, so far down the page, is why HN needs Reddit's feature of collapsing flamewars under highly voted flamebait posts.

I don't understand your distinction between tiers. Plenty of schools just placate students and cash tuition checks. Top tier competitive admission schools would be the ones with most students in lone to fill the seats.

Physics isn't a sport, it doesn't have a champion. The Olympiads don't crown champions of the sciences.

That's called X Duck Syndrome at every school X :-)

Your employees must love working with you.

It is at Stanford, for ten years running.

If you went to a to a tier university you wouldn't have this problem. There are plenty of advanced courses to start with, and none of them are "Programming in X".

Pixar is a movie studio that developed mpviemaking technology over many years. No one is talking about backing up Tom Hanks in case he keels over.

No, oversleeping messes with the body cycles and mental stimulation. Understomulation causes boredom which causes lerhargyn

You are deeply missing the difficulty. If a kid would listen to reason or threat, this problems would never existing. Or worse, he could rationally know the profit in evil.

I don't think kids who torture cats are the heroes of change you are looking for, though.

Kids are also more likely to accept their environment as normal because they have never seen different, and so don't think to complain about abuse, neglect, religion (if you think that is vrainwashing), etc

You added the word "dole" and thereby changed the content of what you claimed to reply to.

A justified decision may be appropriate to be painful. Do you think the person who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima should feel good about it, even if it were universally agreed to be the lesser evil?

Those are laptops, which are dumb terminals running Chrome, not workstations. Workstations are Linux.

That's what yegge's infamous platform rant was begging for. Google has been slow to appease, though. Controlling everything is more enticing to the ego of a manager.

It is reasonable to trust your developers but not trust unaudited third party code.

I am surprised Google security would let you disable the screensaver anyway.

My favorite by far is that every policy says "we will only do X, Y, or as permitted by law", which is a wildcard that says they will do whatever they want unless it is forbidden for some other reason anyway.

These documents are not upper bound promises, they are lower bound warnings.

Considering he got into the situation by doing the exact behavior you are doubting, maybe he would actually be interested.
