I believe you mean the DNC. DNP is an organic compound used by bodybuilders to make cellular respiration less efficient and therefore increase metabolism. It's quite dangerous :)

I'm American too (and I posted this) and I fear that you two are correct. I live on the other side of the world though, hence the posting hours. I was totally surprised to see this at #1 for a bit, though I am just happy that it's

Do you want to share any constructive criticism of Libre Office, or tell us why you feel that Microsoft Office is better, rather than slander something that people have volunteered thousands of hours of development time to? I have never had

From what I've observed top players flag mines very minimally, only so that they can strategically chord in certain situations. Lists of record scores typically make a distinction between flagging mines vs. not doing so. I never flag m

Considering that the user base of HN can't even agree on what is and isn't fake news, I'd say your fake news bot is an AI-complete problem.

This, and events like it, are more important than Trump's inane immigration policy. Too bad it gets flagged. Also the article links to the Facebook memorial page for Anwar al-Awlaki, but it's not available anymore. I assume it was

Did all they could to minimize them by classifying all males age 18-49 as militants automatically. And what about Operation Haymaker [1], showing that the intended target consisted of only about ~10% of the total deaths from drone bombings?

None of us pointing out the hypocrisy are saying that we won't work with everyone else, nor are we trying to legitimize Trump's policies. The point is that if we get someone like Michelle Obama in 2020, we want people to still car

Of course GP and their family are affected. They are having to map out an entire alternate plan for their lives, and beyond just many hours spent worrying they may have already taken concrete steps toward preparing for the worst.

So, I very much agree with emehrkay, but you should probably deliver the same admonition to emehrkay for the way they chose to phrase their sentiment. "Fuck you" and "fuck them" are the same when you're one of the &

I read a bit of this during the election cycle but must have got sidetracked. I read through the whole piece just now and I am really impressed by its depth and subtle humor. It's lengthy but I really recommend it.

I am skeptical. If you really want to make the promise of "never again", maybe you shouldn't participate in massive data collection efforts such as those of Google in the first place.

It is corruption if a president lets campaign contributions influence their choice of appointees to political positions. Whether or not Obama did that is another discussion, but just because Trump will do the same, we should not hold any ot

Wait, were they incorrect? My interpretation was that GP meant that Obama did the same thing (firing existing politically appointed ambassadors) and then in addition filled the positions with people who had donated to his campaign (hence no
