whichdokta··on Ask HN: What's a fair policy for employee-generated IP?
What is a fair price for permanently giving up a piece of the only brain you're ever going to have in your career in exchange for a job from which you can be laid off at a moment's notice without, it must be noted, getting back that piece of your brain you had to sign away?

If I were (which I am not) gullible enough to buy into the kind of rules that applies the same logic to ideas as fixed property [1] I would certainly start the conversation by asking what kind of rental you think you can afford!

[1] ...and then everyone acts surprised when both the market for ideas and fixed property suffers!

whichdokta··on Ask HN: How do we bring about world peace?
Coming to agree with each other that it is not a cliche to ask terribly important questions is probably a very good start.

Maybe there is hope for the geek of the earth after all!

A modest contribution to chew on:

  * Peace is not only the absence of overt violence.
whichdokta··on Ask YC: What would you tell your younger self?
I wouldn't tell myself anything right away.

I'd listen for a long time.

I don't know yet but after that maybe I'd say something or ask something if it made sense to.
