I've never been to Japan so I can't comment on $800 US-made jeans. However, there are many high end japanese brands, and a lot of the ones that aren't use Japanese denim.

Not sure what tilts me more, reading reddit comments or reading that reddit comments are supposed to be excellent. That place has been a sewer for years and I hate that it was ruined.

Why didn't you type "1/10 to 100 miles"?

Just because it's not plastic wrapped in a box doesn't mean it's not software.

What was the goal in making this site? That might help in giving feedback. It is much quicker to type espn.com and check the top bar of the page. Aside, Show/tell/remind HN prefixes and not including a link drives me crazy.

I can't make sense of this. What correlation are you talking about?

Rating deflation?! I believe there have only been five players to get 2800+. Topalov, Anand, and Carlsen did this within the last few years. Kasparov near his peak: http://ratings.fide.com/toparc.phtml?cod=1 Current top 100: http://ratin

If there is an "ask" section, hopefully it will cut down on the ShowHN, TellHN, etc. which have no parallel to MetaFilter and drive me crazy.

Actually, when Reddit first added comments, I read many meta-comments about grammar/punctuation/spelling. I remember being surprised by how much people cared considering they were comments on a website.

Even then, I remember seeing ads for lessons by Gata Kamsky in the back of Chess Life about 8 years ago.

How are you quantifying greatness? Everyone on this site loves to say "order of magnitude."

This was a good read: http://www.zedshaw.com/essays/programmer_stats.html He even mentioned just about every topic we covered in my stats/probability class. There's a book list at the end.

Nope, I hate when my FF team loses. But I recognize it doesn't really matter and I think most people will have only a superficial feeling of loss. The commenter above called this a "once in a lifetime event" that "has a profound impact on a

That's funny, because myopic is exactly how I would describe the attention this is getting. I guess it depends on your definition of "profound." I know people who are profoundly affected in the same sense when their fantasy football team lo

Michael Jackson was a celebrity has-been who made mediocre music. His death truly affects few, let alone profoundly. The fact it's covered on every news station indicates it's probably not news and reason enough not to include here.

I had to work w/ ASP.NET from 04-07, and ended up on EE once in a while. I can't complain; never had to pay for an answer, and usually found one more often than other sites. This crowd should know how to ignore ads or view the google cache

I remember a site similar to this, giving you two options and you choose one of them. The only thing distinct about this one was the options were placed on the text of each button, and sometimes they'd get pretty long. Anyone know the url?

That first paragraph was interesting. I am pompous and lazy, but that's irrelevant. Your friend made a smart decision, but that is also irrelevant. I'll tell you a little story though. When I was in Basic, there was a time when all the trai
