Sometimes I wonder whether someone's split-testing their article, because it seems like you're getting a completely different one. Right before the 'significant impact' sentence is this one: One of the first things

Tons of stories get flagged on the new page. They're usually spam. In this case, it's part of a policy not to discuss meta-hn issues on hn. If you start a post asking why you were hell banned, or flagging/downvoting, it&#x2

I just took a look at the new page, and it doesn't look any different to normal. The users of those posts aren't necessarily hellbanned - the posts are though. If enough people flag a new story I think it'll automatically be

I think another major one is the cost and quality of our broadband networks. It's expensive here to download movies, or even to have a connection that's good enough to stream.

Not even that. Even games on Steam are routinely priced at retail and left there for years. Civ V, for example, was still $70 last time I checked. And no, I didn't buy it :) Update: Just checked - Released 24 Sep 2010, $69.99

I stopped reading PZ Myers quite a while ago - he's almost entirely negative, and doesn't seem to be able to do much more than flame other people. eg. his little diatribe on Haekel. Ok, Haekel was wrong, but the initial processes

O right - my reply is disgusting ad hominem and out of place, but suggesting that you call your wife "ludicrously stupid" and "extremely dumb" is not? Edit: Just saw your reply to the OP: "If she is dimwitted to a p

Exactly. Personally, I'm super focused on not giving Jason Calcanis any of my hard earned money.

Pretty sure there's a reason that you don't have a wife, if that's your attitude...

I'm not sure that high res displays would have much to do with it. Webfonts might though.

I have intake filters on my PC, and it's also somewhere around 2 feet off the ground. Still cops a lot of dust.

So how many cubic feet per minute will convection cause in this case? 1? 10? Fans will move a hundred cfm or more without much noise. Both of my recent hardware failures have been caused by dust accumulating in heatsinks, so having somethin

Except that they have the fan backwards - suck air up from the floor... along with all of the dust and crap. Unless you're supposed to have this on your desk to show it off. I suppose that wouldn't be unusual...

Not sure what the libel laws are like in the US, but based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_defamation_law It looks like making factually wrong and "injurious" statements counts. Firstly, he has no idea how long it took the N

It's not just web sites that do this. When you open the Twitter client on Android, for example, it'll go to the top of your feed instead of to the tweet that you read last, forcing you to scroll down, reading tweets until you find one that

Again, you haven't used Postgres very much if you think that. IP addresses are in there because they are generally useful, not because they're hard to implement. Go have a look at the complex number implementation here: http://www.postgres

"very limited datatypes"? You haven't used Postgres very much, have you? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/datatype.html And those are just the built-in ones, not counting PostGIS and other ones that you can define: http://www.po

One of my projects at the moment is to make a hand cranked USB power source. I stumbled across this while Googling for "stepper motor power generator" or something like that. It looked interesting, so I submitted it.

Because you're dealing with enough power to run a city. At a minimum thousands of kV and/or Amps. If something fails, all that energy has to go somewhere...
