This is the most painful longform reading experience I've ever had on a computer. I am 'reading' this from a 15" MBPR at 1440x900 - default resolution.

First page load (default zoom), a single paragraph takes up the entire window. http://i.imgur.com/7gElCv9.png

Next, I try 'zooming out' twice, aka cmd-. Turns out the text doesnt reflow to fit the window, it just shrinks. This is what it looks like. http://i.imgur.com/hr98Ryi.png

As a last effort, I switched on Reader View in Safari and it only displayed the first three paragraphs of the article.

Sigh. I like Wired, and mobile is important - but not this important.

Thank you for the heads up

Me neither, and its my last name!

Definitely not sarcastic - just trying to impart an earnest observation

Hey man quit with the self pity and keep doing your thing. Forget about what everyone else is saying and just keep honing your craft, you're leagues ahead of any other high schoolers your age.

Have them turn it in on an assignment or write it in the signature box on the scantron

Make an excel doc with one column as the log of their student ID #'s and grade in the next column. Include a line at the top for instructions to take the log of their student ID # to find their grade. Label column headings appropriately

There is no doubt in my mind: this is an acquisition that will change the world

Wow. This hit way too close to home. I was in the early stages of this almost-exact situation 6 months ago.

I was part of a small four-man team, all undergrads, yet somehow we bootstrapped our way to $60k revenue in the first 3 months.

Eventually we found our way into the local startup community, soon after adopting one of the main community organizers as an adviser. The team as a whole lacking in experience, we were glad to have a mentor make him self available to us. I was skeptical though.

From the very start when I first met him I felt something was off. His intentions were very opaque and I could never figure out what his endgame was; despite being very open and direct about it he always managed to dodge my inquiries. That gut feeling was strong, and I went with it, leaving the team to pursue other opportunities. The rest of the team stuck with him.

Within the past month this 'mentor' launched a direct competitor to our team's product with a different team he was 'advising'. I feel bad for the old team, and can't blame them for having faith in someone they thought had their best interest in mind. The one thing I learned from the experience is that predators really do exist, and they hide behind unclear intentions.

A 1-hr session 4 days a week is a pretty typical lifting regiment. Personally I consider that hour a cognitive release rather than commitment, but to each his own!

Yeah I'm realizing now I need to better exercise my logical facilities before submitting an article with such outlandish claims. For my first HN submission ever this is pretty much worst case scenario

This is exactly what I needed that I didn't know I needed. Perfect timing too. Finally deciding to make the leap from years of PHP to full-stack javascript I spent all of last week bumbling about on DigitalOcean tooling around with node/backbone/ express and mongo/mongoose but not really learning or accomplishing much. Too eager to dive in and play with all the new shiny things this article made me realize I need to take a step back and gain a better understanding of the fundamental architecture if I want to create anything of value. Thanks.

This is horrifying to me yet I still have to admire the sheer amount of brass it would take to go through with. Though one does wonder if this is just a man pleading for attention.

This is great marketing; its targeted, opportune, and easily-welcomed.

Its difficult to scan the titles on the homepage - this kills my ability to quickly scan the list of links to see if I want to read them - it'd definitely be easier if it was less photo-centric

Imagine the outrage that would ensue if Microsoft pulled a similar move with Excel and VB

Too many ideas, too little time.

When you are managing a 100 person project I would question how worthwhile it is to spend 30% of your time programming / engineering.
