I take piracetam for protection from hypoxia, vs. reversing a condition which causes hypoxia, as the condition is self-induced =) I've been tapering off as my habit draws back, but for nearly two decades I smoked on average 30 cigaret

Depends on the state. Some states have lower, or higher speed limits within their borders. For example, I-10 West of San Antonio, in Texas, has a speed limit of 80mph (by necessity, I'll say!), and State 130 between Austin and San An

Agreed, although there are more capable ERP systems out there of varying degrees of openness, I've found many of them suffer from one serious core flaw (for my needs): Failure to integrate effectively with Quickbooks or QBO (the latter

In hindsight, given it's a relatively recent compound and there's so little research on it, Piracetam is actually well-researched [1], it's been out since the early seventies. It's the most researched of all of the no

I take Nootropil, 3200mg daily to help combat hypoxia damage from a bad habit I picked up about 20 years ago (smoking =). I can't say there are any noticeable effects of doing so that I wouldn't call placebo effects. I used to tak

Definitely not intimating that "HN is dying," more pointing out that pure community-based "karma" systems will veer towards popular politics in the given community. Considering the concept that such a transition is univ

My experience has been that if you're obsessed with work (or play), then find a relationship where the other is obsessed with work (or play). Hopefully, similar work. (So you can understand what each other are talking about.) Outs

It seems like every day, more and more political posts about the US are made here. It's getting to the point that it seems that 35% of the point of HN is about getting opportunities to make political statements about the US. There ar

I'm waiting for the same EU HN users to start calling for the banning of all French citizens from the rest of Europe, and the blockading of all French online services, as they did with the US yesterday. Perhaps how all French citizens

You act as if Qt isn't already a successful cross-platform toolkit. Qt has been successfully used for years to make native-looking apps for OSX, Windows, and Linux from the same codebase. How are you saying Qt has not succeeded as a

I don't think they will. I'm not sure if the VHDL would contain any proprietary IP from them or others, but I spoke with their CEO at OHS last year, and he indicated that open-sourcing the processor its self was out of their reac

They were at OHS talking about how they were going to open-source it when ready for production, and their kickstarter even said "All board design files will be provided as open source once the Parallella boards are released."

I agree that its best for Google to focus on enabling Ouya (or any other nascent console developer). I'm not even sure what benefit there is to Google to own a particular piece of hardware, when they could be taking a slice of the pie

Consider also, that Stratasys had no answer to their biggest competitor's (3DSystems) consumer line that's been going gangbusters (Cubify). I can imagine a world where $403M worth of stock is a good trade for a well-known name, a

They sold $22MM worth of 3D printers in the last 9 months (3 quarters) - nearly matching their revenue over the previous 3 years, are a household name in the industry, and led by a "rockstar" in the 3d printing world. So, sounds a

Agreed. I've often presumed that stats (esp. language and commit counts, etc.) were part of the "social" aspect of GitHub, but not otherwise useful to me in any meaningful way most of the time. I think the sidebars are a ste

Looks like a bridge-style multi-person hammock-style tent. I like small, single-person hammock tents for lightweight, but the problem always happens for me that I just don't usually have reliable trees where I prefer to camp: the dese

Excellent job, it reminds me a lot of the effort and creativity involved with the Gir Proposal Robot[1]. Kudos to the OP for taking the time, and effort, to create something unique while learning a lot in the process. You've set the bar hi

In our house, we have a 1st-gen ATV, Roku HD (again, older gen), and an XBox 360. We've largely found them redundant in most senses, except for the following: Can't watch Xfinity on the Roku or ATV, can't watch Netflix or unfiltered Youtub

The problem I find with this solution is that it makes it difficult to tell if the client is operating properly. That is, I can't tell if my client is spuriously trying to delete the same resources from the status codes if there is no diff

There's a presumption that all hardware consumers are simply looking for a cheaper thing that does what they already have. Cheaper isn't always better when it comes to products that aren't meant for "everyone," even b2c product markets can

If you were 42 and spent the last 20 years working in Big Corp - even if you did impressive work - I'm sceptical you'd be on an even-footing with a 25 year old who spent 3 years at Zynga. I would disagree with this, depending on the focus

We use a 6Mb point-to-point link via dish to a tower 2 miles away, and have never had a problem with weather - and we get some pretty serious storms here on the gulf coast.
