SEEKING FREELANCER - Houston, TX but are accepting remote applicants

Not only are looks subjective, but so is intelligence. What makes someone smart? I noticed a few comments on this post are assuming that celebrities for example aren't smart, but on the contrary I think most of them are very intelligent to get where they are.


Exactly. Just like this company called Beluga - http://belugapods.com/. They use 'pods' instead of circles.


There is a huge difference. Twilight is just a teenage love story, I couldn't even get through the first book and found it be complete crap. The creativity and details it took to create the world of Harry Potter is just amazing. You can even tell by the fans. Harry Potter fans are a bunch of nerds, Twilight fans are a bunch of love crazy teenage girls or adults who never grew out of that phase.


Harry Potter fans are a bunch of nerds, Twilight fans are a bunch of love crazy teenage girls

I'd argue that neither is superior to the other, btw - but since we're on Hacker News of all places, it's quite understandable that there'd be a lot of Harry-Potter-loving nerds here! The comment above would be (rightly) heavily upvoted if it had been posted on a Twilight forum...


Moral relativism at its worst


Do you really think you're inherently superior to the average teenage girl? Really?

On what metric? Ah, intelligence? Productivity? Technology skills? Contribution to humanity's scientific progress? And who decided that those are the way to measure the superiority of one human being over another?

You say "moral relativism", but I don't think you've looked up the definition of that term. Moral relativism is about the evaluation of moral judgements and actions, not of people's intrinsic worth.

Fundamentally, you're only "better" than a crazy teenage girl according to metrics that you've made up. For example, if the ability to give birth to and nurture children is picked, you (assuming you're male) would be intrinsically "worse".


You got it exactly backwards, I meant they were better. That you assumed otherwise tells us more about the relative esteem in which you hold the two than it does about anything I could say.


Ah, sorry, I, er, misunderestimated you then. I don't think it tells about the esteem I hold for those two groups - more about the assumptions I make about HN users.


I don't know how bad Twilight is, but, while some Harry Potter fans might be nerds, the vast majority definitely isn't.


Both are pretty shallow.


Good point on the balance section. I try to do the less sleep to get more things done, but then I find myself burn out a lot easier and I end up becoming anti-productive. You're right about everyone being different and needing different amounts of sleep to keep going during the day. We should pay more attention to what are bodies are telling us rather than trying to be like the person next to us.


I completely agree with this. Up to a couple weeks ago, I had only programmed in .NET and php. I got bored one day, and decided to learn python. I loved it right away, and now I'm learning Django and building my first web app in python. You can ask other people about which they think is better, but you're going to always get different opinions, so the best thing to do is try to figure it out yourself.


I think really what consumers are angry about is that the kindle/nook used to advertise the fact that ebooks were cheaper than buying the physical book and initially they were. Wouldn't you be a little angry now if you had invested a lot of money into the kindle/nook and justified it by the cheaper price in books? You can't blame them for ranting a little.


You're asking this question to a bunch of developers - whom many I'm guessing are all about open source... I'm expecting standard response to be NO. Sometimes it is more about the recognition of your name which may lead to better and bigger things.


Agreed, I think the other point is that people hardly go to people's facebook pages anymore. When I first add a friend, I might go check out their profile. But after that, it's all about the news feed and what everyone is doing at the moment. When you can comment from the news feed on whatever post your friend just put out there, why is there a need to even go to the facebook page?
