   I think most of the people on the 'no to stemcell research' bandwagon are more specifically against embryonic stem cell research. This was accomplished using 'adult stem cells' from the man's other eye, which I don't think many people ha

   The product announcement this article is talking about is by far the most entertaining product announcement I've ever read. http://ediblepet.net/2009/05/23/web-applications-should-be-c...

   This article also completely ignores the fact that you can use OpenID to log into HN which bypasses this issue altogether.

    I don't think the churn is a big problem yet, but I think the position of stories on the front page uses a formula similar to gravity. Upward acceleration is determined by upvotes/time and downward acceleration is determined by the time sin

    Ah, I didn't realize "neo-liberal" was an economic term. Thanks for the correction. To clarify what I said though, relative to any western society, Dubia's laws are obviously more strict. However, when compared to other Islamic nations, Du

    Based on the comments, it seems everyone thinks they're doing away with grades as in A, B, C, D and F. I think they're actually just doing away with grade leves 1-12. A good analogy for the gamers out there would be they switching from a l

    My wife teaches at a small private school similar to this. It mostly works well for them, but the kids who don't want to work can fall behind. I think this problem would be exaggerated in public schools because of the larger classrooms, b
