Before HN I only heard of ketamine once: Greg House telling nurses to tell Cuddy "I want ketamine". Drug is drug, OK. Turns out it is well known "recreational" drug. Who knows, in a year, I might try it myself. That&#x2

Any reasonable public forum will flat out ban any drug discussions because of experts like 70forty who tell kids it is safe.

The argument is kinda weak given how many kernel updates are there and how often they come (and kernel upgrade _requires_ reboot regardless of PID 1).

I mean if you protecting yourself from panic by moving stuff from real PID 1 into pidns root, you're doing it wrong. pidns root will segfault and kernel will SIGKILL everything inside which is equivalent to good old panic.

Everyhing in pidns is destroyed when pidns init dies.

Maybe. :-) This analogy has quite a lot of problems which arguably can confuse more than explain. First thing my physics professor said in uni was "forget everything you've learned in school". This is applicable to spinning b

Elementary particles are dots for all intents and purposes. But dots can't spin. Spinning requires internal structure to notice spinning, but elementary particles don't have it. Basically you don't need analogy at all. Spin i

The problem with science magazines is that if you dumb down paper enough for general public to "understand" it there is basically nothing left. Article doesn't even try to describe what this $2 C_{2 u} − C_{2 d}$ coupling is

Spinning ball analogy is very common in school or basic uni. I think it is spinning ball 100% of the time.

Remember when Georgia attacked Southern Osetia night before China Olympics? Our western friends are more delicate this time.

> prevent overflow type attacks by using signed integers instead of size_t, and then checking whether the result is negative after arithmetic Whoa! As if checking for overflow with unsigned is impossible...

There is no real government backing Bitcoin. There is no real economy backing Bitcoin. At some point you need to convert BTC to real money for taxing and what not and this conversion is the perfect place to ban it if so desired. Nice experi

Nukes were transferred from soviet republics to Russia exactly because western world didn't trust newly founded random goverments.

Note, he wrote story in English to make it repostable in western internets, so to influence public opinion in necessary way, namely, "people came out against Yanukovich". You know, kinda push our western friends to intervene.
