   First of all, congratulation for pulling off a new and experimental user interface! However, I believe, the idea that tree- or graph-like structuring of text is beneficial for reading and writing text in general, comes close to the graphica

   Well, the exact numbers on the right-hand side are still unknown: [girls interest in code] = [interest induced by predispositions] + [… by unalterable social pressure] + […

   For some interesting reads: Just take a look at the summaries, introductions and conclusions in Aaronson’s publications.

   Relative values to the user base would be equally interesting, if not, even more interesting.

   I don’t quite get the last bit. Why is "centering on the treatment of generic operations on interrelated types" inadequate? Do they talk about the tree-like structure of inheritance which might be useless in scenarios where the re

   I’m wondering if there is any progress in the Solar Roadways Project. I doesn’t seem so. http://www.solarroadways.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep4L18zOEYI

   I somehow misread the title as something like "The theorem that prevented me from falling in love with math". The article actually still made sense up until the very end where I expected the author to turn out as a finitist.

    I didn’t expect much but I’m a little bit disappointed. It seems to be far behind Google Docs. For example, there are no collaborative features like real-time collaboration or annotations, and only very limited options for sharing. I don’t

    It should be easy to detect whether any radio signals come from that direction.

    Ha! This picture [1] of Hashima Island instantly reminded me of the James Bond film Skyfall. Apparently it served as an inspiration. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%E8%BB%8D%E8%89%A6%E5%B3%B...

    Maybe people got lazy over time and tended to use the abbreviation? Or maybe one can see a general decline of less popular terms due to the growth and change of the internet usage in the past 10 years? Imagine all those people who search fo

    We could create a search machine decision plugin for Firefox that forwards tricky queries to Google. Maybe a simple rule like .*[\d|\.|\"|\,|\(].*|.{42,} is already sufficient.

    There should be a way to vote for an ongoing event to remain at the top of the frontpage of HN for some days or weeks in form of a link to all related stories/links. I'm sure this could be done in a very automated way, showing mil

    I could imagine you have more expensive tools at home that you use less often than a text editor.

    I can‘t decide whether I would be any happier if we lived in a less corrupt would, in a society that has meaningful jobs for everyone and if our governments would care more about our future, education and less about religion. But I believe

    Your definition does not make sense in this context. If it was loud enough the ”damage“ was done (in the shape of an uncomfortable situation).

    I think, the problem is that whenever a state-of-the-art synthesiser comes close to an expressive acoustic instrument it lives in the uncanny valley more often than not (see some YouTube videos of the Eigenharp for example). It will need a
