It can happen, but increased presence of symptoms is not the same thing as developing an allergy. Exposure does not cause a nonexistent allergy to become existent, it causes a mild allergy to become an aggravated mild allergy. The allergy w

That paragraph doesn't contradict me. The contrast in percentages is actually showing the true number of people with latex allergies. The allergy presents itself more often in healthcare workers because the prolonged exposure is exacer

Eczema is the reaction to exposure of a substance for which the immune system is intolerant, but exposure is not the cause of the intolerance. As I explained in more detail in my other comment, over exposure to the tomato may stress the imm

When I say improbable, I don't mean that it can happen but is rare. I mean it's improbable (or impossible) for it to ever happen at all, because that's just not how the body works. Allergies aren't developed by ingesting

I have heard of tick bites causing an allergy to beef, and I've heard of people having reactions to meat because of a pre-existing allergy to the antibiotics used during production, but I have never heard of someone becoming allergic t

I went back to read the article twice more after seeing your comment, but I'm failing to understand how you interpreted this piece as an assertion of superiority. I don't see anyone (neither the owner nor author) trying to dictate

Is an e-mail address really any different from a phone number? I can't imagine anyone arguing that it would be okay for an intermediary in a dispute to disclose one party's phone number to the other, regardless of the reason. It i

Then you'll be happy to know it is a $5/mo service. The $53 backer number is annual, and the launch price will be $6 AUD per month. So backing early gets you in for $4.41 USD per month.

I agree. I really don't understand the negativity here, and it reminds me of the immature and close-minded lambasting that the 3Doodler received. It's very disappointing to see the HN community act this way. The majority of the n

Unless the judges presiding over the inevitable lawsuits are complete fools, I don't see this patent ever holding up. The position of a camera inside a room is neither an invention nor patentable, and attaching a new word to an old (an

You clearly have no concept of how trademarks work or even what they are, and your callous attitude toward them is not only going to get you into legal trouble, but is incredibly antagonistic and off-putting. I'm not sure what you were

This is very well done, though I think the results could be better organized. For example, if I enter the opening riff to Bullet Hole by The Haunted ( http://bit.ly/1bnTBFg ), it first lists two songs that have similar riffs,

There was a great episode of Horizon titled Eat, Fast And Live Longer which tackled the benefits of fasting. Even a very reasonable fasting routine seemed to have a non-trivial positive effect on the show's host. It was convincing enou

It's more than a submission title problem. The tagline they're using for the product is actually "the code-savvy web design tool". Perhaps I'm just an unreasonable person (it is just a single world, after all), but

Could you clarify this? I'm not overly familiar with California's rates, but I've looked at what seem to be the two most prominent providers (PG&E and SCE), and neither of them have rates higher than 35 cents even at thei

Looks to me that they just weren't attention grabbing headlines. There wasn't any indication in the first one that it was a Michael Dell quote, and the second one just sounds like a random analyst offering an opinion on what Dell

I think you aren't taking into consideration the differences between this and the competition. The Tessel is intended to be a powerhouse right out of the box. For example, 160MHz compared to <20MHz, and 32MB of flash and RAM compare

I have to assume that even with the special privileges mentioned in tingletech's Wikipedia find, they are still required to actively use and protect the trademark, or otherwise be vulnerable to dilution. If they don't defend the t

I think the $100 price point might have been slightly hyperbolic, but you can get 32GB of memory with 320GB of SSD space from DigitalOcean for $320 per month.

Their player has always been abysmal, from day one. I've noticed a lot of A/B testing for the player recently, as well, and some of the things they're trying out just don't even begin to make sense. It is turning the sim

My memory could be mistaken, but I seem to recall that they have tested this and do have options similar to Soylent, and the reason they use "regular" foods is more for psychological reasons than technical ones.

I agree that it is likely not a logical reason from the perspective of a company. I was simply providing a logical reason, in general. Though, an argument could also be made that being a nicer person is definitely a quality that most organi

A good, logical reason to be empathetic in all situations would be to help yourself. If you needlessly act negative toward another person, you will be more inclined to be negative about similar situations in the future. You are essentially

I have no doubt that, given the proper marketing, the cute factor will make this a trendy gift for one holiday, either Christmas or Valentine's. But it's definitely one of those neat little things that could get its 15 minutes and, for a bu

I thought the issue OnLive ran into wasn't excessive hype, it was overestimating the market while poorly promoting the service. I recall Perlman stating that the coffin's nails were from investing way too much in infrastructure that went co

It makes perfect sense for there to be a patch on release day. There is a non-trivial amount of time between the completion of a game and when the discs are pressed, packaged and shipped to retailers in preparation for a release. There are

That change is not something you should be putting off for a few weeks. You're on HN right now, you've got a little buzz and some traffic, and changing the existing site to have lighter text would take less time than writing any of the comm

I'm genuinely curious as to why you think having two separate but related threads on a forum is of any consequence. It seems that every other minute someone here dramatizes these submissions, as if having a line of text in the feed that you
