Requiring background checks is like requiring any bureaucratic red tape, it annoys the good and does not stop the bad. But I completely and totally disagree with your implication that more research will only marginal increase life spans, an

Ebola kills far too quickly to ever become a pandemic. For a pandemic a virus needs to kill you slowly so you can spread it a lot. Like the 1918 flu.

MRSA is pretty close to sending us back in time, a time before penicillin, it wasn't a good time, but obviously we survived. We got super lucky with HIV because you have to exchange bodily fluids to catch it. If it ever becomes as easy to c

Given how long bacteria have been on earth, and how they live from ice to desert to even nucler waste, and how fast they evolve and freely swap DNA, how has not a single one of them already evolved the ability to consume more kinds of matte

Interesting, the countries in the sun belt of Europe: Spain, Greece and Italy have the highest live at home rates, they also have some pretty pricey real estate due to demand from Germany, the UK, and other northern Europeans.

I think that was more of hard sell for space exploration then a warning against super viruses.

In one way gray goo already exists. The world is literally covered in tiny nano machines eating and multiplying as fast as they can. And many of them are deadly to us. We call them bacteria and fungi. "grey goo" beyond the natural goo, as

This seriously happened?! That's messed up and I didn't even notice, except that my searches have not been as easy and crisp, but I've always blamed that on SEO.

I think if you try hard enough you can get a degree from a "real", heck even "established" college with stunningly little math. And indeed personal interaction with a professor is essential to get to a certain level,But if you can not affor

If there's is a higher education bubble, then this is what might burst it. We desperately need cut throat price competition between colleges.

I rarely see any well thought out, cohesive arguments for re-structuring wikipedia. I see no reason for an internet encyclopedia to copy the shortcomings of a paper encyclopedia as closely as wikipedia does. Paper and shelf space are exp

I LOVE Bill Hicks, but I'm flagging this because it is absolutely not HN.

HN on the weekends is like a vision of the future HN on every day. It will be filled with general interested articles like this.

I've seen this happen to every other social news site. And I don't see anything inherent in the HN design that would prevent it from happening. Sadly I think this is just how these things go.

My college art teacher told me these are done by taking a photo, making a slide out of it, and projecting that slide onto the canvas. Apparently some of the old master painter used a camera obscura and one might have even nudged his in the

This has always been pretty obvious to be. What has also been obvious is that writing well is a hard and rare skill which is quite distinct from other skills, skills like dancing, welding, math, physics, etc. You can be a great physicist an

"An unexpected result of my research on the mafia," he writes, "was to find out that mafiosi are quite incompetent at doing anything" other than shaking down legitimate businesses and enforcing trade agreements among smaller-scale hoodlums

According to this the class clown is at the top of the social hierarchy. I think humor is a bit more complex then that.

Embarrassingly, yes. Obviously I can neither type nor spell well.

Ah but protons aren't particles... except some times they are, other times they are a waves. The bottom line is individual atoms don't reflect protons.

Color is the wave length of light you can see. Red is one wavelength, blue another, infra red and ultra violet yet another. But you can't see those last two. Molecules have no color because they are smaller then the shortest length wave of

Humans and lemurs are both primates. And some people theorize that both chicken and dinosaurs are aves. If you ask me, all dinosaurs were birds and some survive until today, makes more sense then some dinosaurs were birds and it's just thos

I'm not saying he isn't guilty. I'm saying 11 years is a very long time. 2 or 3 or hell even 5 years in a prison full of non violent criminals. With good attention making sure he doesn't fall back into crime when he gets out, best he should

Is this really news? I mean someone very very confused might actually believe that ancient man was magical. But doesn't everyone know about the Mammoths and all the other giant fauna that went extinct when man arrived? Only Africa still has

In June, he was sentenced to 11 years in prison What is it with the US justice system throwing the book at hackers. Is there something deep and Freudian that I'm missing?
