Hmm you're right. Looks like some forms of rodentia will eat grains if they're around. I still think they'd be better off eating an omelette though. :)

I love breakfast for this reason, sometimes I'll even have it for dinner. There are a hundred different ways to make an omelette, they all taste great, and none of them have any sugar or refined grains. You don't have to compromis

If it's posted on HN and getting upvoted to the front page, I think people tend to assume a certain level of credibility based on that alone. If you assume that about this story, it's pretty shocking and worthy of some discussion,

The "Why" page comes across to me as a bit of an activist pitch. You can be right (and you probably are) about limited consumer choice, and the dangers of corporate consolidation, and the lack of privacy, but none of those things

Would you say the Matrix specification is intended to compete more with messaging (Slack, Skype, etc), email, or both? What do you think people would use this for, and what's the value proposition?

The main reason is that it's the least-competitive language to hire for in the Bay Area. There are other reasons too, though. Laravel is easily competitive with Rails and Django. PHP7 is usually faster than Python and Ruby in most case

It's amazing to me how insecure email is these days. If you know somebody's email, and you have a plausible reason to have a conversation with them, you can very easily take over their email account and reset the password on every

I used to read about countries where it was a common practice to pay bribe money to be given a job, and think how awful that was. Now I live in a country that buries its youth in debt that can't be discharged through bankruptcy, to pay

This is very true, and something I didn't even realize until I entered a period of life in which I'm simply too busy to participate in social media. If something went viral, I used to take that as a signal or indicator of how the

> It's also related to what Scott Adams urges. It's pretty hard to get to be in the top best 10% at a single field. It's much easier to be in the top 25% of two different fields, which would make you one of the top 10% of

Having to actually put this on your hand makes it much less convenient for short-burst typing than a touchscreen. You have to take it out, fit it, and be temporarily disabled by it. Using this for typing over long durations isn't more

My favorite thing about the air vents is that when the Macbook is in use (opened), the backs of the keyboard and display close in against the vents, creating a natural barrier to prevent most things (like bed sheets) from blocking the vents

This was my only thought. When a system is that efficient at squandering resources, you can't fix it by throwing more resources at it. I'm reminded of L.A. Unified and the iPad debacle: http://www.latimes.com/local
