Spoiler: The solution is very easy for problem # two if you're allowed to flip the coins. I haven't worked it out since I've been up all night and had to squint just to read the problem, so I may have read it wrong. I didn't read the first

Awesome. I just need one for marketing my indie book, though this advice can be looked at as a general strategy.

Some comments are victims of drive-by downvotes, and it is annoying. I see this problem a lot with nested comments, where people fail to read the comment within the context of the parent. I would really like to see more people explaining th

I can attest that this language is very hard to learn. It is an incredibly fun language and very VERY descriptive. The hardest part is actually speaking the language itself, since we're not used to using some of the extra sounds that Navajo

What I find amazing is the amount of people who have no knowledge of Avatar. This movie is an event among events. And even the author says he only started reading about it a week ago, which I find amazing. Not at all like the iPhone in this

I would say that they'd, at the very least, pretend that they care. The official motto of "they" should be "sharing is NOT caring." And, even though I own the blu-ray, I still shared video data with people who do not own the blu-ray. This

I have never gotten the digital copies, that come with some blu ray movies, to work. I have to turn around and use a torrent. I feel smug about it too. Serves them right.

Remark 1: "sentence/thought" contains "special punctuation" and is indeed improved by substituting "sentence or thought" Which is fitting, since I consider the use of special punctuation a cheat. I don't hold myself above cheating all the

If you're serious, which is likely since the internet is worldwide, I have some advice that can help you get started. Also, I'm going to believe that your lack of capitals is a conscious choice. A method of saving time... over time. Besides

Some advice in S&W really confused me; like, on the word prestigious: "just because it's in the dictionary doesn't mean you should use it." Oh, okay. What? There are a lot of words in the dictionary. Is the advice that the word is used

There's a lot to it. By writing your thoughts down, asking the book questions, and sorting the author's points you are keeping yourself focused and cementing the thoughts into your memory. You'll get better at coming up with mnemonics on

Ah, everyone's favorite book to be a smartass about. Great suggestion antpicnic. I consider this book to be the foundation of my higher education. Seriously, by not using the methods of this book, you'll always be a tier lower than your pot

Out of all the games that we've played, none have been funner than Munchkin. The diplomacy aspects of this simple card game don't become apparent until you start playing.

I never thought I'd feel compelled to write a poem on HN: There is this incredibly slow machine, analyzing everything relevant in these passing things... arms moving and seeing. Seeing and slightly clutching some very few things

The response I'm accustomed to seeing, when people are introduced to these such things, is normally closer to horror. What was your first reaction to seeing the Mandelbrot? Seeing this "geek world" induces a similar, though less severe, dre

I don't have a good answer, but I do know that LSD came around when there was a lot of change going on in the world. That might have had something to do with it. I'm actually pretty curious now, so I'll look into it.

I could have written my sentence better. If I used illegal-ness as my main qualifier instead of harm, that might fix some confusion. And, it is amazing that the most illegal drugs are the least physically harmful. Still not perfect, but a

Coffee has an LD50, whereas they haven't found one for marijuana. I was speaking with that scope in mind. The specific drugs I had in mind were psychedelics.

We flat out do not have a good understanding of how a brain is effected by drugs. And, it is amazing that the drugs that are least harmful, or not harmful at all, are the most illegal. There are, of course, devious reasons for that. Whether
