   Favorite password: cody.stewart@mail.house.gov: iConstituent Obviously this leak is bad, but I think it's also humanizing. Staffers are people.

   Yes! I know most people suffer from the "my congressman is the only non-corrupt one"-syndrome, but I actually can say that and not be bullshitting. He's done a great job representing Grand Rapids and Michigan.

   I find that these sort of licenses do exactly the opposite, as vulgarity pushes away people who might have used the works otherwise.

    replying to 23david, not the parent. 23david you appear to be shadow banned. It seems to be recent, might want to get it checked out.

    Let's not. Unless you think we should also be comparing memory footprint, performance, etc of said 'Hello World'. Language pissing contests are dumb. Languages are tools, each serves a specific job.

    Some ethnic groups do have different average levels of intelligence. Ashkenazi jews, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jewish_intelligence My own guess is that for some blacks, there has not been enou

    It's interesting to contrast our current attitude with Microsoft/Skype with similar news 1 year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4254925 Oh how times change.

    I doubt it. After the a few hundred (thousand?) blocks are mined, the mining difficulty algorithm will kick in, making mining just as difficult as it was before, relative to the new hash rate. It will mean gpu miners won't make anythin

    HTTP 2.0 is not a deprecation of HTTP 1.1/1. You can have your cake and eat it too.

    Awesome, I am a trello fan. Too bad this didn't exist a year ago. Already migrated to JIRA because Github issues was so underpowered. I'd use it otherwise. :(

    I agree. If a student with an eidetic memory could ace the class without trying, the class is set up wrong. Unfortunately, many of my university classes were set up exactly to favor memory instruction.

    On a tangent: > to become an expert at anything, it will take you upwards of 10,000 hours Wrong. 10,000 hours will make a unskilled person moderately skilled, but if they lack the innate talent or intellectual capacity, it won't ma

    I hear this complaint often, but it's rather short-sighted. The majority of medical procedures are not 'critical' operations, as in dealing with unexpected and urgent medical conditions (car accident injury, broken bones, gun

    Can't you just encrypt the data before storing it in your app? Why does Dropbox need to do this for you? Would you even trust Dropbox if they did add it themselves?

    Hacker News is a tiny audience. I don't see any business sense in focusing on features that 0.1% of users want.

    I agree. I don't see Nintendo still being a hardware company in 10 years. They are either liquidated, sold to someone else for IP's, or transform into a software game company. I hope it's the latter. There is no money in hard

    I've always been curious about I2P. I2P is more decentralized than TOR, as TOR has the weakness of needing exit nodes, and today it is very hard to set one up yourself (and not be arrested/shutdown). However, I don't know eno

    Consider the flip side of the coin. The money from Amazon gives Canonical the ability to employ more developers, improve Ubuntu and add features faster, etc.

    One can like and enjoy using Apple devices without wholeheartedly embracing every aspect of their corporate decisions and culture. Don't present a false-dilemma.
