http://talkorigins.org is an amazing resource for the scientific perspective on Creationism vs. Evolution. It details neatly all the creationist arguments then thoroughly debunks them with overwhelming scientific evidence, compl

I question whether the merchant is fine with everyone buying steeply discounted gift cards. That $165 card was a result of someone stealing $165 worth of product and returning it. Lisa then goes and buys the card for $120 and purchases $165

I must echo the other reply: the "delta" phrase communicates far more than the "simpler" rewording does, to the point where the simplified text reads as little more than meaningless marketing fluff. Perhaps it would be c

Interesting comment from the judge: "A child born dead is not in truth a child," Middleton wrote. "It was that which might have been a child." Following this, abortion isn't the termination of a child; only

Tenant is the opposite of landlord. The word you're looking for is "tenet".

The phrasing of "factor-10^8 speedup" threw me for a bit. Is that a negative speedup, meaning it's significantly slower? No, it's actually "10^8 faster".

The gun appears to be a real, physical device. Given that there must be a camera looking forward in order to interpret not only the scenery but recognize gestures, it's highly likely that what triggers the shot isn't the subtle pr

You said that already. I'm wondering why the name or comments from a specific user is so important to you. Certainly many others on HN have discussed acquisitions (a search by comment or story gives tons of results). The fact that you

I don't think that's okay. Any reasonable expenses you incur when asked to work from home should be submitted as a paid expense. Others have mentioned overtime, which you are entitled to if you are paid hourly. If paid as a salary

In terms of stealing office supplies, it boils down to intent. There's a big difference between taking pens home as part of work and not bothering to bring them back -vs- thinking "my kids need more pens for school" and then

Very interesting. After looking at the site and watching a few videos, I gather that there's no facility to round-trip code -- any code that's generated is one-way only and blows away your existing project. Presumably anything cus

Sure, a private office is quite uncommon. But I don't see how you can criticize the author for a "highly developed sense of entitlement" in pointing out the shortcomings of open office plans and then making suggestions for bo
