   It depends on the privacy settings of the user. I just tried this on myself and it did not show my name or photo. The most conspicuous thing it showed was a starred-out version of my old university email address, but that's my own faul

   Have you ever tried running a modern browser on a machine with less than 2GB of RAM? It's not pretty.

   There are plenty of places for outrage junkies to get their fix. Let's keep them away from HN.

   Interesting how that was omitted from the article. Given that and the choices of words and phrases made by the author, this article is clearly biased in favor of Yelp.

   Gotta love climate change deniers. "How can global warming be happening? It's cold somewhere right now!"

   Costa Rica might be the place. Find a reasonably well-developed town on the beach that isn't too touristy and I think that will fit most of those criteria.

   When I was a kid, owning CDs with Parental Advisory logos was a signal that you had cool parents.

    Not only that, there's also Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff%27s_law_of_thermal_r...

    What kind of currency fluctuates in value by +/- 20% in one day? What kind of currency is inherently deflationary?

    But it's still not a currency, kind of like how "alternative medicine" isn't really medicine.

    Trying to argue with an alt-medicine fanatic using a .gov source is like citing Dawkins in a debate with a Bible thumper. They won't take the source seriously.

    Do you have a link to the study itself? That is a highly dubious source and the author doesn't appear to have the credentials to interpret such a study accurately and without bias.

    Cell phones don't emit ionizing radiation (the kind that causes damage to DNA).

    Because to traverse that NAT, you need to either forward ports manually in your router (one of those activities that seems second nature to techies but is obscure to everyone else) or use UPnP (an ugly, insecure hack). IPv6 solves the need

    Wouldn't you need to add some sort of detergent to get the non-polar oils to dissolve in water? Disposing of that mixture could be tricky.

    It's even more amazing when you look at a satellite map of the city. It consists mostly of warehouses, industry and a rock quarry. You'd think they would want companies like Huy Fong Foods. https://maps.google.com/
