on that bit about policy costs being definite, I have a simple objection.

hmm. policy costs are usually estimates and thus are are usually colored by ideology.

Someone posted something on Austrian Theory I think a week ago, I wanted to write something in reply but whatever I tried to write just didn't do justice to the question I wanted to answer.Good thing Paul Krugman won the Nobel and I got this link from the Marginal Revolutions Blog.

Re:Do it or document it? on Monday August 18, 2008 @08:03PM (#279844)
Yes I think this hammers an important point. Write with what helps you think, For me It has to be an uber size blank sheet of paper and I just start planning. After the paper I can usually go to a laptop an either make a rough prototype or at least a structure in code. I don't know why I can't seem to code directly.

To repeat do what helps you think faster/clearer/better

Re:Is it lame to want to know why you got modded down? on Friday August 08, 2008 @09:56PM (#271264)
Telling someone why he was down modded may help improve an already civil place.
I think this has always been the key. Its like the mom/pop store versus the Walmart super stores. They need (digg/reddit) to be popular to be a viable acquisition target or business whereas hacker news is just a place where we try to find like minded people trying to share information and grow learn together.

Question is what do you really want out of life.

Is it good enough to be the basis of a company? Are you daring enough to start a company? These are some questions you have to answer.

I think the best way is to demo this by starting a free service. If its good enough and meets people's needs you people will go to you with offers.

I think this is an important point. We tend to view useless things(at least to ourselves) as ugly.

Re:Ask YC: How many hours do you sleep on average ? on Thursday February 14, 2008 @02:30AM (#115650)
I was able to manage 3-4 hours sleep to be able to continue learning outside of my 9-5! My first week of doing this resulted in a onversation with my manager telling me to shape up or ship out. I was okay afterwards. The human body is a wonderful thing , it seems to adjust to whatever you throw at it!

Re:Google Promises Again to Swear Off Binge Hiring on Friday October 19, 2007 @04:38AM (#70217)
I remember an article about Japan's premier pro baseball team hiring the 2nd best and sitting them on the bench just so that they don't play for the other team.

Isn't this just what google is doing?

It is a win win situation for them.
