Re:Ask HN: Are there any examples of profitable Google Chrome extensions?

Of course this was a joke.
Jokes aside Adblock Plus has got a pretty good business model based on ads whitelisting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adblock_Plus)

You are looking for an extension that automatically generates money ? I'm afraid neither Google nor anyone has developed such thing yet.

Re:France’s Zone Rouge – Land Poisoned by War

The red zones can be inhabited but most of the ground is either polluted either completely destroyed. And as the boards said some zones still have armed explosives in them.
I went there once. It's pretty beautiful when you forget it has been caused by a useless and slaughtering war.

If they are counting Bill Gates, Larry Ellison... then I'd say most men are winning less than women
Re:Ask HN: How to integrate coding into primary school?

From the site :
"What is the age range for Scratch?
While Scratch is primarily designed for 8 to 16 year olds, it is also used by people of all ages, including younger children with their parents."
We saw children from 6 to 12 come try coding with scratch at our school during a coding for children event

Re:Ask HN: Always late to the office, is this OK?
on Monday May 18, 2015 @11:00AM (#9564818)
Being late sometimes is ok but every time for ~6 years ?
When people ask you to come at a certain time they are asking you if they can trust you to be here at that time. By arriving late deliberately you have abused their trust and been dishonest.
This is not a professional problem that you are having, it is a human problem : it is disrespect.

Re:Ask HN: How to talk smart?
on Wednesday May 13, 2015 @04:26AM (#9537533)
Ad populum, ad hominem, ad personam... Those are argumentations that make you lose all credibilty so try not using them.
The most important part after this is being honest, things must come out naturally just as shown by lies detectors. When you try to lie your brain makes a lot more effort so don't do it and your speech will be way smoother and won't tend to contradict itself.
It counts for extrapolation too, be honest about your knowledge or you will make a fool of yourself
Re:Ask HN: What should I do?

Think about your people first.
Instead of reporting your fellow countrymen show them the good way of winning $$$ and they'll stop by themselves.
Moreover you are helping an American company, Americans only work for themselves or for their country. If Google happened to be Nepalese be sure they would wage war on it.
You can't be a "good guy" to the eyes of everybody, there must be a time at which you have to chose a side, a time at which you leave your neutrality

You can always gamble as a game as long as it doesn't become an addiction but never gamble for anything else. Life's not a game.
