I'd say the point is mostly that those big, scary sounding chemical names you see in products that "Organic" companies like to point to really aren't scary at all.

I have, it doesn't seem to help much if at all. I'm not entirely sad, I already tag my emails by contact group and what vhost/catchall they show up at. Strangely, it works fine in my non-GApps email.

What exactly is not natural about human-caused selection? As far as the banana is concerned, we're a "predator" that increasingly preys on banana plants which produce fewer seeds but bigger, sweeter ovary. It's a directe

Unfortunately, gmail marks everything (well, 99%) as "priority" despite my training it for many months.

Their broadcast wasn't malicious, they can't exactly guarantee that the decoding logic baked into the firmware of, what I'm sure, were knockoff-brand cable boxes won't cause something silly to happen.

I, and I'm sure the rest of HN, loves F.lux...but is there a reason why this needs to be posted every month or two? There hasn't even been an update (and the promised OSX update is no where to be seen)

Pretty much what Beagle said. Targeted ads on Facebook are the social network equivalent of a spear phishing email. It's trivial to target a very specific set of even just one individual if you've done your research and then follo

Well, they went from allowing you to have a private profile (ie. not searchable and non-friends see no info) to making name/age/gender/profpic/email/friends list public. There's quite some evidence that Faceboo

If indeed the twitter spewings are correct and they've gained access to the database, I suppose now is the time to see how Dropbox secures passwords and user details.

Jeez, the white-knighting on her user:talk page is atrocious... I say good riddance. We don't need paid shills in the WMF and we certainly don't need them writing and reviewing articles. There are enough issues, as is, with idioti

The G1 was released as a high-end flagship smartphone to compete with the iPhone. The ZTE FxOS phones are low-end smartphones competing in the feature phone market.

Patients are, across the board, pretty rubbish at giving histories. They overlook things because they don't think it relevant or don't want to tell their doctors for some reason (even though it is relevant). This is especially

That doesn't answer the question. Why should more of the people being added to tech be female?
828.
by aroch 13y ago
No you don't, doing so only breeds more animosity. There's a reason why men get touchy over female hires and promotions that are framed in the context of diversity and women's rights. Hiring or promoting someone primarily for

Are you genuinely suggesting that every degree should have a 1:1 (or thereabouts) distribution of male and female graduates?

I'm not saying it makes sense, but the GP is correct that its not a full port. Also, there are android devices that can take both CD/DVD and eternal cameras, so it isn't too far fetched

Well, it is true...if "almost all" the feature but not all of them are ported, then its not "fully ported".

Ha, not even close. Census data shows that of men who wished to have custody, only ~18% gained it.

Modern feminists also pushed for the FBI definition of rape which is forced penetration but construed in such a way that it really only covers insertion of a penis. They also pushed for useless laws like rape shields which prevents the accu

I give 0-shits about how M-W defines that word. Why? Because they until very recently defined rape as an act committed by a man against a women and now have added wiggle-words to their definition to make it seem like a less pejorative aga

Really? Because it seems that feminists say men can't take care of children, particularly by so convincing the US judicial system that only women can care for children that it takes extraordinary circumstances for a father to get custo
