Thanks, I've been wanting this feature. It's good I like it. I'd rather the color of the friends names be the same orange as around the Y in the logo; it looks brighter on my monitor. And, I wish friends posts on the main page weren't quit

Yes, I completely agree with you about seeing things from the church's perspective. What I intended to mean is that, post marriage, denying birth control takes it out of the public conscious, and possibly the stores, as an option. I disag

The Catholic church condemns all birth control, including for married couples, if I understand correctly. This is why they hold some guilt. I don't see any problem with backing abstinence as the proper form for premarital birth control, d

Most detractors don't want to know that this world exists and sure as hell don't want to have anything to do with it. I just can't relate to it at all. It isn't so much that I don't want to hear it exists as I don't know how to believe i

I'm not convinced. The melody sounds simple and repetitious, and the verses, mostly sung by tPain, are similar. The rest is just a fleshing out of these ideas, though, there is rythm and lyrics. I think you'll disagree with me, but I be

She really really did. I have read up to that last long (very long) speach by Atlas, which is plenty to note: most of the worst characters are business men. One of the most disfavorable characters in the entire book is Dagny's brother Jam

How much do you find effective? The standard dosage, or more? I should have been sleeping 6 hours ago.

Thanks for filling out the casual side of the article. I like the Express example, I believe because it is pocketless and a solid color. It seems at the root of all this advice is the idea that clothes should fit so there are no folds, be

There were some comments on the blog asking about tucking in your shirt without a belt. I believe it's okay if you do not have belt loops. My brother has an old suit from the 80s which has no belt loops and as long as the shirt is tapered

I think you are missing a certain perspective that some of the commentators here are sharing. If you take Swombat's perspective as an entrepreneur that both greatly appreciates Dropbox as a utility, but also sees how it's ease of use makes

You've misunderstood Matt. When he says "This may increase productivity..." he means vaccines preventing disease will increase productivity, not that his mothers death will increase productivity. He assumes people will take care of their m

True, but the word has been reclaimed more than I thought it would be when I first read some screed (ESR?) on the difference between the two. Remember the breathless news reports in the late 90s showing green on black websites of "hacker g

Probably since I've always understood it as a word play on phrase "grass roots", playing off of the fake astroturf grass used on American football fields.

That is a perfect quote. Please tell me who it is attributed to. I tried to give you a point, but failed.

+1 *(a) Hmm, I think you're right. And I share the general fear this forum will become too general, and am not a fan of acrobatics to define every post as 'for hackers'. So I will delete this posting. I hope you've flagge

On top of a profitable business in China, Google now has some ability to leverage some change in China. At the least, other corporations and governments will reconsider their relationships or expectations of China. Google had no influence

Is this related to your post from several months ago? I've been wondering what you would end up putting together, and watching for it. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=672067

I really liked your first comment. It appears you have a good point about the medical comment, that is, that comment would have been better with a more complete commentary. Now, this graph says more to me than the short paragraph you wrot

If she can see that what she looks like doesn't matter to you one iota, odds are she will not see any real value in any guy that mentions how pretty she is. You can't be swept off your feet by somebody calling you pretty when being pretty

I realize you're in the big brother department and would like to protect her. But allow me to ask: would she be any less in need of your protection if she were [very]* plain-looking? or homely?* No, but a helpful response might be more st

Do you have a daughter? Since this article is still on the front page I would like to ask HN how does one deal with the similar issue of letting a young girl know she's pretty without suggesting it's of central importance? The problem is

Let me play devil's advocate for the difference between this and your other examples. The difference is that internet is infrastructure. It allows other systems to exist, and allows the government to require citizens to interact with it o

To give an alternate opinion. You should read through the first dialogue and the following chapter, then decide for yourself. Maybe skip ahead a bit. I read half of it sitting in a library when I didn't really have time to read it, it pr

"Les Miserables", I hated Thenardier, Javert too until I learned to pity him... The book rambles a bit, but it's wonderful. In parts uplifting and crushing. I don't communicate well enough to express how much I think of it. "Where the Red

Somehow I hadn't noticed 'intensive purposes', so thanks. Recently I have found the use of 'practically' as a replacement for 'pretty much' irksome. We have plenty of words for that and no more to indicate 'for practical purposes'. As oth

Anyhow, I just wanted to point out that when I think back about my life so far, the part of it that scares me, was when I took my religion and decided that I had to take it seriously and do something. I'm not sure you'll see this, but bri
