I feel conflicted when I see headlines like this. On the one hand, this is better than not having passed said law. On the other hand, 14 years is quite a while, and the current members of the legislature will likely have long since moved

For Douglas Adams, this line did it for me: "The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't" Man, I think it's time for a HHGTTG re-read.

When I finally got around to picking up a copy of Neuromancer, the book was so small that I was concerned that there was an abridged version that I had somehow wound up with and looked up the page count online. Nope, just turns out that tha

Yeah, I was surprised that there wasn't an HN thread on it yet.

This is really cool, nice work! It's funny, as I was typing my original comment, I was thinking to myself "some kind of aggregator for these links would make a great side project..." - and turns out you were way ahead of me!

Meta-comment: These are some of my favorite HN submissions - a direct link to a Wikipedia article with no other context, but one that is apparently interesting enough for it to make the front page. I enjoy the process of figuring out just w

In case anyone else didn't make the connection, the author of the linked article (Lenore Skenazy) is also the author of Free-Range Kids.

> the immunity you get from having the disease is always better than what you'd get from a vaccine. My understanding is that the opposite is true, at least based on what we know right now. Here is an article summarizing just that[1]

"Well, we are programmers, we should be able to fix it." What an awesome "beginner's mind" perspective. It's too easy to write off a potential solution as difficult or impossible - but why not adopt this attitu

The Social Network would be on the list for me. I remember grinning from ear to ear in the theater seeing Perl and wget on the big screen during the Harvard scenes. Great movie.

SpaceX's effort to take first-stage reuse from moonshot to mundane is nothing short of extraordinary. It still makes me smile to think of how breathlessly excited we got over individual frames of grainy footage from the first water lan

To each their own perhaps, but I find F1 very exciting. Even despite Mercedes's recent dominance, there is plenty of great midfield action, strategic decisions, uncertainty due to safety cars or weather, and teammate battles that make

Yes, but that comes with a pretty heavy asterisk - driver salaries are not included in the cap for example (which will be extremely significant for the top teams), nor is marketing. Still, I think it's a step in the right direction for

I saw this linked a few days ago here on HN (since I look at "new" sometimes). The thread didn't get much traction but it seems like it might be right up your alley. No affiliation with the author, but it covers a lot of the

I'm a total neophyte when it comes to the Linux kernel development process, but couldn't they just, y'know, use a Gmail address or something? Couldn't the original researchers have done the same?

Quiet rooms have some benefits, but a big downside is that I want to use the equipment I have at my desk - multiple monitors, mouse and keyboard, etc. The quiet rooms I've experienced have either no peripherals, or a shared set that is
