Exactly. For the example images I deliberately chose bright colours that might not seem obvious (at least to my uneducated eye) to put together. However, there's no reason at all why less outlandish colour combinations can't look wonderful;

You make a good point - it's not necessarily going to make life easy - but I think it has its validity as a way to at least mask out some possibilities. Decisions are easier when there's less to choose from, so hopefully this can help!

On an evolutionary scale, it is very difficult to know what our intervention will do to the level of diversity on the planet - but there is a vast amount of evidence to suggest that climate change causes mass extinctions. Certainly the ice

Climate change will inevitably result in a reduction in biodiversity on Earth. I would argue that that is automatically bad. Biodiversity is the single greatest untapped resource that we have - it's the reason this is Earth, and not a rock.

This kind of thoughtlessness is what terrifies me, more than anything else in the world.

I remember playing this when it came out. It was intriguing, but incredibly difficult! I was always curious about what happened in the end, since some bug prevented me from finishing it. I may just have to watch the video.

Why does it need to be a vertical stack? Why not stagger the floors, so they all get natural light from above, like the leaves of a plant sticking out from their stem?

"When the government is your one and only insurer, that option disappears." This is never likely to be the case. In the UK, the state provides a high standard of free universal healthcare in the form of the NHS. There is also a huge network

Nothing has hurt quality of life for the average person in this country more than the mindless pursuit of "freedom from government regulation". In reality, all it means is our lifestyle is regulated by industry rather than our elected repre

Although this method may be great for you, it doesn't seem worth it to me. Having your passwords hacked or guessed is bad because it's a hassle, and it can lead to you losing time and money. This method of password generation/storage is als

Scrolling down those screenshots, I couldn't help but notice how many sites have big, square advertising banners (even if they're of the internal, 'Sign Up Now!' kind) on the mid-to-lower right hand side. Is this based around some kind of s

I don't see a problem; increasing the availability of knowledge is what Wikipedia is for. But I hope they are giving a nice, fat donation.

Whenever I go to a really old, really cool building, I think, “This building was built by men with chisels and hammers. How come the modern world, with all its power tools and advanced materials, can’t build such cool stuff?” The answer is

If a single actor can disrupt the system that much by releasing some information casually available to some 3m US military personnel, the system is broken.

Sounds pretty good, I look forward to reading it. If anyone clicked on the link looking for information, I posted an 'Ask HN:' a while back on the same topic. Loads of people responded, with some great advice. It's here: http://news.ycombi

I find it pretty cool that snippets of information passed down from my ancestors encoded in my DNA can be synthesised into physical objects, find their way into somebody else's body and permanently write themselves into their DNA. We're all
