You should make it so you can reply by bouncing your leg up and down. (Then go have an Edward Thorp weekend in Vegas of course.)

1/10 did not contract disentery. But seriously, I played this on an apple 2 emulator a couple of years back, and it seems like the logic under the hood is a bit off. I wonder if the original source code is still available.

Yeah, I remember (as an American) when I drove across the border from the Czech Republic to Germany the first time: I mentally prepared my answers to the standard questions, got my passport out, took a deep breath and drove up to the border

Not to be too meta, but the hardcover is $10 off right now if you get it from Amazon Prime. Great impulse buy.

Be careful about the therapist you choose, and don't hesitate to part ways with them (edit: and find someone else) if they aren't helping you. Being stuck in a dysfunctional relationship with a therapist is worse than not seeing

Unlike eBay they don't have a highest cost+shipping option, but I just went there and the highest priced paper plates from a third party are about $8000 for 96 plates with about $2 shipping.

Did T-Mobile have a breach recently? I got malware on one of my machines a year or so back and had to change my passwords everywhere, and T-Mobile was one of the two sites that was so assed-up I couldn't actually change it. I clicked

I could totally be wrong about this, but my impression is part of the reason terrorist attacks in the Middle East are less visible in American media is they don't fit the narrative of the rest of the news. Classically there are suppos

Huh - how about a CO detector on the air intake of the engine that shuts it off if the concentration is too high.

Have a Google Voice number as the one you share with people and forward it to your cell phone. That should stop casual stalkers and warrantless searches, since they would need to get Google or your cell provider to disclose the real number

"consummating the deal with nothing more than a handshake" Seriously, just a handshake. So fleeting. So trivial. It's just a gesture, after all.

I don't know about now, but when minimum wage was $4.75 those guys were making $20.00 an hour. It was a highly coveted job in some circles. They are starting to automate it with portable traffic lights though.

If I had to guess, I'd say the mechanism behind that is it's expensive to be antibiotic resistant, and when you revert to normal times the mutation becomes a burden. That's serendipitous, but if it turned out the mutation wa

I should be able to blacklist it from showing up when I look at hacker news, either by the grace of the ycombinator site or via a custom client. Does this exist?

It's not sad for the mother octopuses, who die just like they normally would, and it's not sad for the baby octopuses, who never by any stretch of the imagination have any feelings at all. I wonder why it's so sad for us. E

That was the joke. But in reality it would probably be a piece of cake if it was a new car and you had access to all of the custom tools. An older car with frozen bolts, charred head gaskets, etc. is a different story.
