Anecdotally, I started wearing glasses a couple months ago and have been annoyed at how often I have to adjust my ahead when I would have normally just moved my eyes. My glasses tend to slip down my nose just a tad which cuts off a non-negl

Well, I'm sure you would still get different people commenting due to one set being home on a Friday night one month and then a different set the next. I would prefer monthly, personally.

I find that just such a sentiment prevails on HN alarmingly often now. Can you recommend any alternative news sources with a better signal to noise ratio?

Not OP, but Wait But Why did a great article on it a few weeks ago: http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/11/1000000-grahams-number.html

You're very welcome! I do it all the time, so I knew I couldn't be the only one.

There is a time and place. An article about Dr. Heimlich in which some senior citizen invokes an age old remark isn't it. Once you can show me the data on the benefit from that single remark, and that it doesn't correlate with the

All ideas should be up for criticism, yes. But not all ideas should be criticized. The difference being that some criticisms are productive (presumably fresh, creative takes on thinking about something) and some simply serve the purpose of

Why shit all over someone else's way of viewing the world if it doesn't affect you? And none of the nonsense about Christians that don't believe in global warming or abortions or something, because you have no idea of this wo

EDIT: "All of your needs as a human being are met (according to Maslow's hierarchy.)"

You're right, I should've defined "needs". I actually had Maslow's Hierarchy in mind when I made my comment. Also, "all of your needs as a human being are met" was meant in the context of a technological u

BTW, are you /u/combinatorylogic on Reddit? Just guessing because of the (potential) serendipity.

Well yeah, as long as they keep moving the goal posts. The laughable variety you speak of used to be the only variety.

Pessimist! :) I disagree. I think much of human suffering due to competition stems from lack of security, or the lack of reassurance that basic needs will be met. Imagine a technological utopia. All of your needs as a human being are met. A

Yes, I agree. Considering a post-scarcity world, it is not difficult to imagine a pseudo-utopia with the way technology is going. Using the example of Manna, imagine the ability to plug into some perfect VR world that looks and feels just l

How would you suggest a typical run-of-the-mill object-oriented programmer go about learning such a methodology? Most of the links in that article are dead.

I don't really understand the other guys' argument, but I don't necessarily agree with you either. In my opinion, bitcoin will be overtaken by another coin, most likely ethereum. This is because while bitcoin has many issues,

Two questions. Why wouldn't they, and how could they tell?

And see this is the part that I never got past. In your example, it's the cop that's committing the infraction. And yet, I'm the one that is expected to improve the situation, despite the fact that I've never been racist
