Their argument that digital textbook users retain less info is tenuous at best. I used a digital book for Calculus I & II and thought it was easy to use, convenient to carry around, and helped me learn more.

There's nothing wrong with bolstering the Psychiatrist's armamentarium with a novel drug that could help with clinical edge-cases of depression. This article was unfairly biased.

It's kind of like the "man on the street" interviews ...very intriguing vignettes. I quite liked the Confederate veteran story.

Do you think Tesla's insistence that LIDAR is useless has a part in this case? To me it's telling that everyone in the ASD game _except_ Tesla is using LIDAR.

Good for them. This is a necessary Public Health intervention. Bioethicists will look back on this and agree that it was necessary.

A "SRE" is what happens when you want to pronounce the word "SWE" but can't. For some reason you keep saying "SRE" over and over and over again. They were overcompensating for the fact that SREs aren'

I graduated in 2011 with a non-STEM degree, and I still don't have a job. I won't be employed until 2020 at this rate (in pursuit of a C.S. M.S.). The "job numbers" after the Great Derecession are lies. Pure lies. The un

>but it gets you in this mood of "do things". How much of that is placebo? i.e. "You're doing things because you know you're taking something that helps you do things?" Productivity comparisons with a place

As a philosopher, I'm hesitant to just let the physicists off the hook with decoherence. Maybe decoherence as we know it is merely a gap in knowledge and the current dogma that the interference pattern is unobservable may be in fact un

I knew I wanted to become a programmer after being a temp nobody working at a tech company and shooting the shit with the smoking programmers who were relegated to the garden outside to smoke at the top of every other hour. I learned more f

Yeah, but when is a computer going to beat someone in Melee? Not in a long time. There's too many possible moves. It's not boxed-in and easy to mathematically calculate like Chess. Sure some games like Chess might be able to unloc

It's actually not the same at all. Rome was extremely tolerant and welcoming towards homosexual activity and I'm actually surprised you think we're the same after 2 millenia. We're not. We got more religious and mor

It's like this on every single thread on HN re: Uber. It's maddeningly out of touch. Uber is fine.

I'm starting to fail to see the difference between 4chan and Twitter at this point. Twitter is just 4chan with avatars.

What a great comment. There aren't many people with your history posting on forums (before Windows...WOW!). Thank you for sharing your history and wisdom.

For people who like dead comments: get the Windows (N) LTSB Enterprise edition. It's not _just_ the LTSB edition. Some perks to note of: * No bloatware * Updates every 60-90 days (as opposed to the oppressive every 5-7 days); choice to

I'll be brief because I have a class to go to, but... Let's say for the sake of example, we're at a party. It's not just any party. It's a party for developers. 99% of the conversations at this party are routine, mo

It's good, but not perfect. The weapon fragility is driving me mad, and I'm 10+ hours into the game. It shouldn't take this long for the game to get good.

As a Software Engineering student, I can't decipher whether the comments here are sarcastic or honest.

On the one hand, part of me thinks this is grimey, capitalistic slime-balling on the part of Uber; using psychological warfare to make a buck. And on the other hand, part of me thinks that trying to unionize Uber drivers is a bad move. If I

If this is true, how would we incorporate this into eating habits for children from birth to death? How much of a public health campaign would be required? I'm only skeptical because we just barely changed the "11 servings of brea
