If you like 12, should definitely check out 60! It has so many factors, especially prime factors.

This may have also been done to prevent whatever interference or vigilantism may have occurred from a city who was pissed and not scared.

The concept you propose is revealing. If I consistently underestimate the amount of time a project will take by a factor of 10, improvements in accuracy of my estimates (boring product management details) can be interpreted as becoming a "f

Google could have been asked to provide the same features, but there must be concessions Apple would have to give Google. These trade-offs, when evaluated by Apple, were not something that served their customers better. You can disagree wit

I needed to get another phone weeks before yesterday's iPhone announcement, so I went with the Galaxy Nexus, since it is contract-free and affordable. Attempting to select multiple emails, one-handed across the screen with my thumb, has lea

Cute and potentially litigious. Hope that is what you were going for.

I think he's trying to use numbers to illustrate his point, but he's not declaring anything empirical. When asking “Maybe 20%?” the implication is it is at most 20% better, but certainly not 50% and never 100% better.

I think that could be the cynicism talking. Perhaps all of the people who now are your friends might no longer be you friends, but your new habit could've brought you new friends who respect you for your candor, even if it is slightly cynic

Mind sharing the code that generated this? I am not the only person on HN who might like to have a way to examine real/presumedfake follower ratios for any number of reasons.

Logged in, and in Texas, my search for 'dmv' returns the California DMV. Then New York. Then Virginia. The only results for Texas DMV are two ads at the top of the result listing for sketchy drivers-license.org type "businesses".

You see my point exactly, if you could find 10 people in March, I'm sure April has 10 more. Or 100 more.

Actually, class action lawsuits can be more easily dealt with, since the lawyers on both side negotiate the terms of the settlement. A litany of small claims court settlements would put more money in the hands of plaintiffs, not lawyers, an

This entire bug report is confusing to me. What is your expected behavior? From what I can gather, you do (or did) not have group messaging enabled. You were on the receiving end of a group message. Replies to that group message also came t

The top number is for salaries, wages, and benefits. That doesn't just mean what people take home, but payroll taxes, the employer's typically more expensive side of the benefits contribution toward health care, and retirement or 401K match
