I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the tent-and-inflatable-mattress-and-removable-cooler-in-the-rear-center-console package. As I recall, these quirky features were simultaneously the advertised selling points and what made it unappeal

I don't think many people on HN would say "He deserves exactly what he got because he didn't negotiate for equity" or "That sucks. I'm glad I'm not a scientist!" edit: I think I may have just been pro

If a law changes, predictions made prior to the change are invalidated. Any meta-laws describing how laws change would be susceptible to this as well. I think the idea is that, were we to have the state of everything at a moment, the laws w

I just skimmed the article and found no (re-?)definition of 'arrest'. If it's 40% for the general population and the arrest rate is a function of economic class, the rate for the lower class would have to account for the sign

The layout of American cities is probably not the result of market effects. It's probably the result of the lobbying power of a conglomerate of automotive stakeholders, formed in the 20s/30s. [1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.

Agreed. I guess I was responding to the part in the video where it said 'We know that protected bike lanes are the key to getting the average person to consider travelling by bike.'

The reason people don't ride bikes in the US is not because unprotected bike lanes are scary. It's because our cities have been laid out with the premise in mind that everyone will have cars. We have disparate clusters/distri

I feel like an archaeologist trying to decipher the presentation from these artifacts. What was the creator's intent? The Beyonce motif must have been used to incite a response from the audience. Is the presenter Elmo, delivering a cru

I'm not really sure, just wanted to clarify the definition of a fiat currency. I don't think they have intrinsic value.

The transition from an oligopoly/monopoly to a market where price is dictated by competition is different than the transition from few competitors to more competitors.

by akjetma 13y ago
a fiat currency is just a currency without intrinsic value. it's not a derisive term, you'll find it in any introductory economics textbook.

The iPhone 5s resolution is 1136 x 640. How did you arrive at exactly 2x those dimensions? Just curious.

Do you have a source for those numbers? I need to vomit, but I can't without a source. edit: Nevermind: http://newsroom.accenture.com/news/accenture-chosen-to-imple... Vomit everywhere.

Do you still have the image? I've created a few myself and they're really fun to look at. It's interesting to see the symmetry and orderliness of a project in its early stages as compared to the frankenstein's monster it

It's short-sighted to think that you have an understanding of a person's job after reading a tangentially related article and thinking about it for five minutes.

Yeah, but then again there are services like Siri that do a phenomenal job at understanding complex user input. I don't think I've ever experienced Siri not understanding my intended query and then giving me a generalized response
