Pressing a button feels easy. I do not know if this is a big difference; may be. Time will show.

Did he receive his PTO? Inquiring minds want to know.

Conscripts are not at all like 'proper' soldiers. Conscripts are just there to sit out their time. The soldier is sleeping, the service is going on . Of course. And yet, that's how most of the armies of the world are. That how t

Yes, individually, to fight against sleepiness. Not to participate in team building!

The military takes a couple months to make you willing to sacrifice your life for a group of what were recently strangers. My experience is completely opposite. Perhaps I was in a wrong military (I was: USSR, mid-1980s), manda

In the US you can get a lawsuit for anything, but the chances of losing or winning are not always, although frequently, related to how good a lawyer you managed to get on your team.

He did not want a slide show. He wanted the files moved. And why do it by hand when it can be automated? As he said, different tasks, different tools.

I agree. But I would also add political asylum and similar human rights considerations (they do exist, but need to be broader, imho). Perhaps this aspect is less relevant to HN, however it is relevant to the immigration issue.

This is true, but I think the reasons are different. There has been a lot of usage knowledge created around the Microsoft platform(s), some supported by the community, but a lot still supported by the company. Moving in the open-source real

It's a great attitude. People tend to use their political prejudices and agendas instead of rational arguments.

One of the reasons. In general, I can see a low rate of acceptance of .NET among the crowd which has a high rate of interest in Clojure. I guess it is a case of avoiding Microsoft-dominated technologies by the open-source crowd.

So, extrapolating?

I am appalled that my fellow citizens demand this abasement. Many demand the opposite, but there is no political mechanism that would listen to them specifically. They need to convince the rest first, then it can be done.

It amazes me that people freak out when they see "Muslim-looking" people on flights. I may not be flying often enough, but I am flying both in the USA and International, and I have never seen this happening. (Maybe someone was fr

I think there is something to it. In any case, kids (as well as adults) need to remember that dreaming is only part of the deal, that they still need to reach towards the goal, not just imagine it. Working towards a dream has to become a ha

Visuals are easy to follow after a few seconds, looks useful. A minor point: as usual with these cases, I wonder if the selected data sources do not contradict each other, and when they do, how the choice is made. Another point is the defin

Every patent is different, but the patent system is broken all the same. Does not mean no patents make sense (although I have yet to see one in software in algorithms; but meaningful hardware patents are not unusual). The system needs to
