Why does a non-physical component need to be invoked? Why could there not simply be genetic mutation that affects personality but not physical stature? It seems to me that there's no reason to believe some non-physical component is at work until the physical components have been ruled out.
(^ that was the longest comment i ever read on HN)

there is one thing that i don't understand about evolution.

if evolution is true than human, bear, elephant, and any-big-animal-that-exist-today-except-whale should be the "biggest" thing that happened today, after evolving. but, why there is exist monstrous animal like t-Rex, whale, mammoth, etc. ?

EDIT: for anyone who could not see my face when typing this, "that was the longest comment i ever read on HN" is a compliment, not a sarcasm.
Because getting anything TechStars related to the front page of Hacker News is an uphill battle (which most of the Boulder HN folk realize and simply not submit TC material) here are some examples:

* FiltrBox 7 pts: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=246634

* TC 09 Graduation discussion 29 pts, 6 comments: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=746347

* OneFourty 1pt: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=849893

Majority never even make it past 1 point, they ether are set to dead for some reason or just have no support to ever make it out to the front page and if they do, community at large are simply not receptive to the story so it dies quickly. The confrontation goes back to when TechStars first started in 07 because they were the 2nd tech start up "incubator" (even though more correct term is accelerator) and YC community felt ether threatened or uninterested by the proposition and simply ignored those submissions. Solution is simple, just get your TechStars fix somewhere else, perhaps a filtrbox keyword search for techstars is a great start :)

Edit: would love to hear the reason for the downvotes.
Intelligent design, as far as I understand, argues that there is (must be) a conscious and deliberate designer. It doesn't specify who.

Most evolutionists think that intelligent design is a creationist conspiracy to teach creationism under a different name and re-branded as a scientific theory. It is usually presented as a conflicting theory.
Sounds like a jelly but with one communal goal, I'm in!

As I'm about half done with Good Calories, Bad Calories, this post rather resonates. My mother is an identical twin and she is about as equal in stature to her sister as you can be. It's curious to me that I've always accepted that since they're twins, they must have similar body types. It is very quickly apparent to me that, because they live apart and don't eat the same things, weight and/or body type must have some genetic or metabolic component unrelated to consumption or exercise.

The disconnect between my observation and my previous thinking of obesity being related to will power or exercise habits is sort of mind blowing.
Funny you should mention it but the guy who is in charge of SEO just took a month off flying courtesy of JetBlue all over the country :) Needless to say you're absolutely correct in your conclusion, visibility is something a lot of TC teams struggle with early on.

I see.

I'm under the impression that Microsoft doesn't support SVG in IE for political and competitive reasons, and that this proposal isn't going to change that, so I really don't see the point.

I guess I don't really know how proposals like this help move things forward. I'm just your average web developer frustrated by the lack of progress in compatibility between browsers.
I would like to see less generalized showtimes. That's gonna be a doozy of a task, I know, what with the time zone scheduling thing that I've never thought to look into too closely.

And really, for my purposes it's not necessary because I know most shows will be available online if I tune it at the wrong time.

For anyone who, like me, watches just a few shows on a regular basis, this is the perfect program guide.
Or, you know, javascript. Which the iPhone's browser definitely supports. And which isn't governed by the terms of the SDK anyway.

Sorry, I meant 'C'. I've edited the comment.

Anyway, IIRC there's still some C++ somewhere (some parts of Core Audio, for instance) and some sample code from Apple itself also uses C++ here and there.
To be clear, I am squarely on Dawkins's side, I am not a Creationist, or a follower of any religion. What Dawkins is saying makes perfect sense to me. Having said that, I have often found it curious the number of times I have seen Dawkins interviewed or read his writings, he does tend to talk down to his foes or use a rather snide style. I can totally understand that he must be very frustrated by now that the completely logical position he has championed for so long garners a surprising amount of rejection in certain circles.

However, if he truly feels that "It would be so nice if those who oppose evolution would take a tiny bit of trouble to learn the merest rudiments of what it is that they are opposing." he might do well to take a different tone in his writings.

If however, he is really just preaching to the converted, then this would likely explain the tone that he often seems to take.
I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.

Are you saying that things can only evolve to become physically bigger, but not smaller? Why is that true?
I too disagree. Christianity is open up to interpretation and can be mangled to fit anything.
I got "happiness". It made me smile.
Natural selection states that the most fit for survival will survive. When applied to evolution, it means that humans were better-suited for survival than t-rexes.

Think about it like this: A T-Rex has to eat a lot of food to survive. What happens when there is a shortage of food? The T-Rex can kill and eat just about anything, but it need s a lot of it to survive. Humans aren't as fit to kill things as T-Rexes, but they are smarter, and they don't need to eat as much, and they can survive on plants too. Humans could grow and store food, so they survived. Dinosaurs weren't smart enough to grow or store food, so they had to eat when they found food, or not eat. They didn't survive.

(Please, nobody 'correct' me by saying that a meteor killed the dinosaurs. For this example, it was their small brains.)
I'd say it's more like cognitive dissonance on the part of educated creationists. They have to reconcile the fact that they live in the modern world with the fact that they believe in something that has no place in it.
The fact that language changes is often, as you do, presented as a reason and justification for a change under discussion. However, that is plainly false reasoning and we need solid arguments as to why we should accept certain changes.

I resist change where I feel it makes a language less clear. There's nothing authoritarian or conservative about that stance: it's about plain usability. When someone says 'I could care less', where I expect 'I couldn't care less', then I get confused. I take extra time parsing and interpreting the sentence, for no reason whatsoever. There's already a perfectly applicable string of words to express what someone wants to express, which includes the 'not'. Leaving out the 'not' is not about 'creating a new idiom'. It's laziness or ignorance and both cannot be excused by 'meh, language changes'. Neither is a solid argument to change a language.

I appreciate your arguments in favor of 'irregardless', 'room and board' and the blackbird and found them enlightning, but I fail to see how these apply to 'I could care less' or 'begging the question'. Those two can be explained just fine by laziness and ignorance on the part of the user.
Hmmm, doublepost with the comment below... that seems a bug.
Programming Language Classification Table
The ideas from TechStars seem a lot more innovative than the YC ideas. YC companies all seem to be so 2007-2008, and the founders who make the news or ever get my attention all seem to be the same : 20-35 year old guys from somewhere in the U.S or U.K who went to some name brand college and already have something web 2.0 under their belt. There seems to be no promiment female founder, for example, or some guy from japan or some 50 year old jewish guy who has always been a baker or something like that.

That TechStars list far surpases anything that has come out of YC in terms of creativity or "newness".
My reason: I really don't think there's a conspiracy to keep TechStars stuff off the front page here. If the community doesn't vote it up, it doesn't vote it up. If there are all those HN people in Boulder, then y'all can vote it up. But there have been lots of positive comments and congrats for TechStars portfolio companies here on HN.

>It would be so nice if those who oppose evolution would take a tiny bit of trouble to learn the merest rudiments of what it is that they are opposing.

Those who oppose evolution do so because they want to, not because they haven't been enlightened. People extend faith into God because they want to, not because all evidence suggests he exists.

They may learn it, but they'll probably still oppose it.
I think you'll find the situation is similar at most schools, outside of the top few known for their entrepreneurship.

My reason for the downvote, snark aimed at HN

e.g: " they either are set to dead for some reason "

For the one example I looked at (from the links you provided) PG explained that the reason it was set to dead was that it was a duplicate. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=746980. That isn't "some reason". That is a very clear reason.

"YC community felt either threatened or uninterested"

The first guess is stupid.

What basis do you have for this? Just state the facts ("These didn't get many upvotes") and leave the amateur psychoanalysis where it belongs.

Imagining conspiracy theories where there aren't any is worth a downvote.

As sachinag points out above, if the community didn't up vote the submission, it didn't upvote the submission. That's all.

Now if something you submitted didn't get any upvotes there is no need to whine about it or imagine a conspiracy. It happens to all of us.
Fair point, I was trying very hard not to come out sounding like a guy with a tinfoil hat. To sum it up: I believe there is simply not enough interest towards TechStars posts due to the reasons I outlined. It's certainly not a targeted backlash as some feel toward TechCrunch or clear affinity towards a subject, i.e YC-related startups.

We could form a gang and get enough upvotes to make the front page, but once its there, community has to be interested enough to keep it on the home page for any useful period of time, and as many experiences in the past indicate, thats just hasn't been the case.
Does that mean I should have gone to Babson?
What I think about parallelism is that ten or a hundred cores is just pain because there's no way to make them act like one 10x speed processor and they can only run even the parallel algorithm at 10x the speed, which seems like a big increase but isn't much more than we're used to.

Now, when we have 1000 or 10,000 core processors with good shared memory, then actual fun stuff is possible.

It's that way even at top universities. Finding a good business partner is like finding a wife! Students generally aren't passionate about their majors, PhDs usually only consider starting a company if they stumble across something big in their research, many people are just too busy or aren't risk-taking, etc.

If I were you, I'd choose an idea that you're passionate about and start developing a product. When you have an early early demo, give some presentations at engineering lunches or clubs. Tell everyone that you hope to apply to YN or launch it, but you're looking for a partner.

Usually if people have something to see and latch on to, they're more willing to help. Not only that, but they know you're serious.

Yes, I actually agree with you. Especially iPhone is a little ways off from being suitable for a scripting language.
Agreed. Sunshine Suites is cramped(but most the cubes are empty) unless you work with garyv in the back.
Thank you for your feedback, trying to come up with a concrete answer to OP's question before this post runs its course is tough, as is finding good examples of past submissions. Perhaps searchyc.com doesn't include dead articles, maybe I'm missing a great opportunity to submit techstars related content, but examples I gave are indeed quite shitty and rest of the argument totally breaks down.

I do present you with 1 interesting discussion on a few similarities between techstars and ycominator startups (Loopt/Brightkite, Foodzie/Foodoro and IntenseDebate/Disqus) which of course brings up great points for both sides of the argument: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=547991
Actually, it's often not performance that's the problem like you might be thinking. Some apps, for example, actually become faster with Obj-C 2.0 GC enabled, since all of the retain/release message sends become noops. (Some will be slower, too, of course.)

What you do definitely lose is easy predictability of memory usage. Memory usage can spike when you don't anticipate it. On a desktop this is no problem, since you have a ton of memory to work with, and if you do use too much, it just swaps to disk. On iPhone, if you exhaust the memory, the phone reboots. Oops.

But I don't think GC is too far off for iPhone.
"humans were better-suited for survival than t-rexes"

A bizarre statement, given that the two never existed at the same time.

Yes, it was indeed a meteor that killed almost all the dinosaurs (except a group of theropods that had evolved wings and survive to this day). Evidently the shrew-like mammals of the time were better suited to the post-impact environment. We evolved from them.
It's techmeme for video, on the iPhone.

"Techmeme for video" is a fun idea.

They just need to find a way to automate it so it will scale.
At Cambridge, you find high-level theoretical machine learning research in the Engineering, Computer Science and Physics faculties. (My spies inside the DAMTP don't point to much going on there - but who knows). None of the above ever seem to talk to each other, sadly.
I don't see a flood of educated creationists embracing intelligent design in its common forms.
I agree. I'm only now 'ramen profitable' (well, I'm 'opportunity cost profitable' if you don't count what I spend on expansion, and I'm growing by around 20% a month.) I only went full time a few months ago. (well, actually this is the second time I've gone full-time)

Looking back, I'd have needed something north of $200K to get where I am now, to learn what I learned. Hardware mistakes get expensive fast, and I was at this for 3 years before it took off.

Who is going to keep feeding me cash after my second failure? my third? Me, that's who. Who is going to support two people to write a book that is likely never going to repay the expense of keeping us alive for the period of time it took to write it, much less to cover the opportunity costs? I did.

The thing is, if I went with investors, I would have needed to take the 'pretend you are doing something new' path, and to charge what look to me like ridiculous prices. Now, maybe they'd also bring on marketing people that would make those ridiculous prices tenable, but going with investors, I'd have probably been either dead or bought out by now.

"great points for both sides of the argument"

What argument?

No one here is arguing there aren't similarities between YC startups or TS startups (which is what the discussion you pointed to seems to be about. One fellow seemed to make nebulous accusations and PG responded strongly http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=548102).

I don't see the "similarity" argument in the comments above anywhere. I am not sure why you provided this link as supporting "both sides of the argument".

so again, what argument is this new link supporting? Your "argument" (such as it was) was that the YC community is threatened by TS and so doesn't upvote or flags content about them. And when asked for supporting rationale you don't have any.

Fwiw I don't have a startup, have no plans of starting one in the near future and YC doesn't operate where I live. I hang out here because it is a great forum full of interesting people, contributing great comments and topics.
That is it.

Ok. You asked why you were downvoted and I said why I downvoted. I am done with this thread. Onward!

Monozygotic (identical) twins are. Dizygotic (fraternal) twins are not.

Actually, clarification to the clarification: fraternal twins, like any two siblings from the same parents, are merely highly unlikely to be (close to) genetically identical. For any given chromosome, you either get one of Mom's or one of Dad's. That gives you a finite number of possible chromosomal choices. Since they're essentially chosen with replacement between fertilizations (in the discrete sense of "chosen with replacement", its not like the egg says "OK, I'm done with this X chromosome mom, you can have it back now"), you could randomly end up with two siblings (and, by extension, two fraternal twins) with the same chromosome choices (i.e. pretty close to genetically identical, allowing for some minor and likely consequence-less mutation).

My naive calculation of the probability of any two siblings being genetically identical without being identical twins is 1 / (2 ^ 48), though. :)

To add to the 'it's the same here' comments - I found the same at my university, in the UK. I was 'weird' for doing freelance work on my own and wanting to start a business. Others have chimed in with more local advice, but see if you can join the entrepreneurship club - hang out in the business school - go to events from other, nearby schools - connect with people online in the same region.

Faculty certainly aren't the people to be getting inspired about business by. Most of them chose their comfortable offices and chairs precisely because the real world was too much bother ;-)

> The fact that a single, first-person consciousness exists is entirely objective.

I wouldn't describe my consciousness as 'single or 'first-person. It often runs multiple threads, and by no means exclusively thinks of itself in the first-person.

Additionally, it really doesn't identify with this body much more than, say, this house or computer. My consciousness isn't 'human any more than it's "ranch-style" or 'x86. Our language has already adopted inorganic technologies as extensions of ourselves (e.g. I say "I'll come over" which expands to "I'll come over in my car").
sigh

You didn't get my point. I intended to use food requirements and storage as an example to show how the more fit for survival are selected to reproduce.

I know that my example was an over-simplification. I was trying to meet the parent half-way so that he would understand.
