Um, yeah, scraping is bad. Got any suggestions how to stop it?

This is a pretty meaningless statistic. It only indicates that college majors don't line up neatly with current career paths, which has been widely known for some time (how well it is internalized by incoming freshmen and their advisors is

Your body is doing work through basal metabolism even while sitting idle. Starving to death and being overworked to death are basically the same thing.

But you waited until the 7th paragraph to mention that. By that point you had already framed the argument as being a female issue. Not only that but you dismiss it by saying "this isn’t something that often happens to men." It's not somethi

I think you're misreading the article. The first paragraph describes an incident involving a four-year-old Lulu. It's not very clear when the quoted incident occurred, but either way the language used in the outburst would almost certainly

Very cool. Some good clues to use: road markings and signs, languages used on signs and road names, types of cars, architecture. Going by terrain alone can be misleading (apparently parts of Australia look remarkably similar to the western

It's not much better on a desktop. The background interferes with the text color, making it very difficult to read without highlighting the text.

It seems a lot of these places have webcams. I guess it makes sense, if there's a dogfight or a dog attacks a trainer you'd want some video evidence of it.

I'm not sure how it does the geolocation but it doesn't seem to be terribly accurate in every case. I've seen cameras that claim to be located in inland locations that are on beaches (like http://cryptogasm.com/webcams/webcam.php?id=11495

Do you have any evidence at all of a coordinated attack against Bitcoin, or is this just an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory?

Mobile compatibility can be extremely important depending on the type of restaurant and where it's located. On a website I did for a restaurant located in a tourist destination, mobile and tablet devices account for about 55% of all visits.

Pittsburgh is closer in proximity and culture to Ohio than it is to Philadelphia. The Appalachian Mountains bisect the state, and the areas outside the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia metro areas have low population density. This area is someti

You pretty much need to anyway. Ever been stopped by the police when you don't have ID on you? It can be an ordeal, especially if you aren't white.

How do we know that SendGrid fired her to stop the DDOS, and it wasn't due to her poor conduct on Twitter? (calling herself Joan of Arc, posting email and IP addresses of blog commenters, baiting trolls, etc.)

Considering Adria's remark on Twitter that she "feels like Joan of Arc", I would suspect this as well.

They've also got politicians who would love to go to their constituents during campaign season and tell them "Look, I supported clean air!" Contrast this to opposing civil liberties restrictions, which can very easily and effectively be spu

The special interests behind legislation like CISPA have professional lobbyists and millions of dollars to pay them. If you're a private citizen and want a law passed at the federal level, you need to have a cute and young white child who d

A friend of mine, whom I know does not read HN, linked to this on Facebook before I saw it here. I would be willing to bet that most HN readers who have Facebook accounts will see it pop up in their news feed soon, if they haven't already.

Playing the passive role is actually a form of power. Women get to decide who gets to play the dating game and who sits on the sidelines based on whose advances they accept and reject.

This article is the most depressing thing I've read in a long time. It's like it hit on all of my inadequacies and faults, and told me that because of them, I am fucked.

I don't have the stats on it but the increase in bandwidth from people using the tunnel to watch YouTube videos is likely a drop in the bucket compared to people leeching Usenet binaries all day off the free IPv6 Usenet servers. I understan

The Red Delicious apple underwent a similar change, being bred mainly for size and shelf appeal rather than taste. People stopped buying them in favor of other varieties, and the Washington apple industry, which heavily depended on the Red

That's a particularly egregious sample. The Art Institute is a for-profit college, the likes of which are infamous for milking student loan money. See also University of Phoenix, ITT, DeVry, and Everest. It's a huge industry in the USA. Fro
