When my friend who is only 29 now developed a blood clot two years ago (thankfully surgery went fine but the chances weren't good according to the doctor going in); I set up a password protected encrypted disc image with all my login d

I fear this will get a lot of "Just say no" comments from people that don't understand that the author is from Pakistan and most likely grew up in a completely different culture than most of us are used to. And it seems like

It's also more accurate, ipinfo.io thinks I'm in Enfield whereas freegeoip.net accurately identifies that I'm in London.

Had a similar initial reaction and came to the kid show conclusion too but it didn't make it okay in my book. Loved the idea of the book(s) and it's well put forward but her overacting this 'over the top happy go far' pe

Agreed. I often try to make the point that when commenting people in my group should focus more on commenting on WHY and HOW rather than WHAT that is normally easily read from the code.

The hotels will actually keep the card you paid with on file and charge you for the mini bar in a second transaction. I've had it happen quite a bit when I've used the mini bar but the items from the last night hadn't been ac

I don't really register to the "you have to read all the e-mails" camp but when I send someone an e-mail expecting a reply I at least would like to be semi-sure they've had a chance to see it and it not just drowned in a

I guess you might be right. I may be too used to the Icelandic mentality where if they'd notice something like that they'd think "Let's just allow for a sub-subscriber plan and charge them an extra 10% for a 'relate

That's a good point, I didn't go to a public one but even then the fees were easily covered by working full time during summer and part time along side uni: http://en.ru.is/studies/tuition-fees/ (~1500US

I don't get why that should be normal even if in college? I'd guess that 95-100% of my university class mates paid their own bills when I was in that age group in Iceland. Personally I've been paying my own bill since I got m

Including the total size of these libraries and response time would be useful too.

This seems like a strange choice to me, the only reason for choosing Julia seems to be for speed but when doing any of these courses I can't see speed being much of an issue but rather the ability to leverage existing code and help ava

I don't see this an issue from the rental point of view but considering the average enterprise's ability to properly secure anything from hacking I'd beconcerned about this being hacked so I wouldn't want one of these.

I agree Facebook would have no benefit for me when I was a teenager since all the people I wanted to interact with and cared about were close by and easy to get a hold of in school or via phone. When Facebook went mainstream I was already i

If you max the RAM to 8GB and add a SSD it will be a completely new machine. Also not that hard to do, well worth it. I have the 2011 model and updated first from 4 to 8 and then 16GB of RAM and from a standard HDD to Crucial M4 500GB and t

Yes this is true, I've been in that situation. Got an extra 20% increase.

Why are there so many articles posted on HN about this? Want to live long and be productive exercise and eat mostly healthy must be common sense at this point right? I'm not knocking on the OP for posting this but am interested in hear

I understand the Nokia going away but I really liked the Lumia name. I find it very fitting for a series of phones although obviously the numbers are just silly.

I get asked that all the time. But I'm from Iceland. With only a population of 300.000 it's to be expected. Funny thing is I've actually known the person twice when asked (but it's out of hundreds of queries).

Am I the only one who can't read through the happy-go-far text on the page and figure out what the company actually does to get to the $15m/yr revenue?
