I wonder if there is a patent for this design or if we'll start seeing PCs that embrace the idea of one heat sink. It is a pretty cool idea, and takes advantage of some of the properties of aerodynamics. I wonder if they tested this i

I know that these petitions don't always get the result that we'd like. Nor is it the only way to fix the problem. I hope that anyone reading this post will email their representatives as well as the administration (even if you t

Yeah citations would make this more reputable, and as it stands it's just a claim. But I prefer to trust that they have done some studies on this topic. I'll verify it later, but trust for now. Also, I can't imagine a vet saying that this

I think there's an easy answer. He's heard of people living to 100. He's human, thus overly optimistic, and assumes he'll live until 100. I don't think that can be called a lie. Just a flaw in human logic. I think most of your clues are

Serious question, would you read the citations? I'd be curious to read them too, and it is concerning that they don't have citations.

There are two schools of thought out there. And I think it boils down to your specific dog. My dog used to get enough of a workout that I could leave her with a free feeding bowl. She was at a GREAT weight. Then she had a knee injury

I honestly can't tell if you are joking or not, because I love actually do love more data on everyday things, and this is hacker news so I'm inclined to lean toward serious on a statement like that... I.E. I downloaded a sleep app and very

I agree that the devices don't change your workout habits, but if you have the habits or want the data then this is a cool thing. I don't think this post has ANYTHING to do with people who aren't prepared to take car of their pets. It's ju

Ok so I have to disagree. I'm a very attentive dog owner. Matter of fact I'd say I'm really good. And my memory is also pretty good. I'm going to lay out what's nice about this device. 1) You have a lifetime of data on your dog (and wit

My only problem with this idea is that by doing this we could stifle the progress that they are making at the cost of our own desire to push our ideals on them. Yes they need safety regulations, but that really does need to come from the Ch

I'm inclined to agree with pavs. I've done some traveling and living abroad, and it seems that these many other countries are in an industrial revolution stage of development. For the USA that meant better working environments, hours, safe

I've been part of HN for about a year now, I've had to change my handle twice. The first time was before the password reset feature was in place and the second time was because I included part of my email handle and I didn't like that.

I agree, I laughed a few times while reading. A lot of the points are insightful in some regards and just blatantly wrong in others. Going to thinkgeek doesn't make you a good programmer, it just makes you a nerd. A lot of what he wrote c

Agreed, some of the major pages in reddit get a lot of traffic, but that sort of subreddit doesn't get the viewership. I too am glad that they didn't get the right guy, that would have gave some justification to this kind of behavior. I do

People need to take their leads to the police... Sure the police could have an app for that, but just because you have extra energy is not a excuse to destroy peoples lives by falsely accusing them of this sort of crime.

I think the point here is that a witch hunt is never ok. In some of the situations you listed, people are asking for help in finding someone who wronged them. In this case the wronged party were not asking for help and it was offered up f

I think if you read through the comments you'll see a LOT of witch hunting. Yes there were comments in there about how this kind of behavior was bad, but it isn't something that I want to see on the front page. I mean seriously... the fron
