Did you read the article? They quote the show's stats. 81 million viewers. Most widely watched show on the globe right now.

If you were racing through the presentation, could you have seriously been reflecting on its contents? Much of the visual movement was designed to accompany a process of thought. In short, you might consider chewing your food instead of swa

We speak English, not Latin. Latin may be the origin, but the context of this conversation is in the English language and English has adopted the word Curriculums, which is consistent with other English rules.

Here's the thing. They don't put their cards on the table. They just bicker, going tit for tat on every little argument. There is far too little science being discussed.

"This is not what Madison and Jefferson had in mind. Their vision was of a strictly limited government, which would perform one basic function, guard individual rights. Its role was to protect the individual’s rights to life, liberty, and p

You have to applaud Coca Cola. Over a mere 70 years they have managed to teach the entire planet to consume a dessert multiple times a day; for some people multiple times in one meal. Imagine trying to convince the entire planet to eat ice

Fructose metabolism is affected by other factors, such as fiber intake. Notice how all of the fruits you mention tend to also be high in fiber.

DDG most certainly does not "win" with regards to privacy. No man or corporation can win without being tested, and DDG does not appear to have been tested. We'll see how they fare when it comes time to match what they've written on paper wi

That doesn't make any sense. I'm asking to be persuaded. Obviously I'm looking for your words. Asking me to invest a week of my search traffic just because? That's more likely to have absolutely no effect in persuading me.

Two questions: Are you an employee, investor, or other interested party? Is there not one good benefit of this search engine that you can put in to words?

I am curious. What's the benefit?

Down-voted for pointing out that a salted hash is a better alternative? Weird.

Whether or not it creates jobs, it will surely save jobs and that may be even more important. Health care is a cost that companies bear, and that cost has been rising at an absurd rate. Unless we do something to control that rate of incre

Or, instead of using this odd "security through wasting time" method, you could just employ a large salt to make rainbow table usage infeasible.

In other words, you have absolutely no evidence to support your claim and you're making up absurd extremist claims to scare us. This isn't Fox News, and the audience on HN is not generally susceptible to these kinds of low-grade scare tacti

Two generations of people understood the conversation of Jazz. So yes, it is reasonable to expect another generation to also participate in that conversation. Unfortunately, that new generation has lost something.

I consider this advice to be evil. Are people looking to show that Toyota actually caused these accidents, or are they looking to pick apart potential flaws in testing processes and use those to imply that Toyota did something wrong? Truth,

Another point I didn't mention. The Prius can detect a no-assist situation and will reroute all braking pressure to the front wheels for maximum effectiveness. So even in the extremely unlikely situation you have no regenerative braking and

You can't have it both ways. Either drivers are pushing the pedal as hard as they can (which every single driver reports) or they aren't because they're scared. Either way, your argument is based on a bad assumption. At full throttle in a n

1. Calling people "irrational single-interest zealots" hardly constitutes critical thought. 2. If not rhetoric, then what do you base your "criticism" upon? What evidence demonstrates to the rest of us that "they" are irrational single-inte

No salt in whole foods? That's hardly true. Perhaps if you consider plants to be the only whole foods, I suppose. Meat of all kinds has plenty of natural salt content.

I know of at least one: Homo Sapiens Sapiens. But really, any one of the thousands of omnivorous and scavenging species fits the bill nicely.

I have less respect for anyone who demonizes, based on nothing more than some rhetoric, an entire informal and nebulous group of people.
