"their underlying value is going up as well" How can you tell? These are illiquid bonds that have no market. The Fed could say they're worth anything and there's no way to prove or disprove it. The only way to know is to

A large difference. Random mallocs in library calls completely defeat the purpose of using C in the first place. Not only for performance but for fragmentation, especially on embedded devices. It makes it impossible to use my own memory are

The data is out there, but really it's common sense. On the margin, a buyer purchases a house with a monthly payment he/she can afford. The monthly payment is determined based on the purchase price of the house and the interest ra

I'll 2nd that. I've only ever had one Thinkpad (X100e, no longer in production) but the keyboard is amazing. I don't know if other Thinkpads have the same "chiclet" style keys but it's made me way of future lap

"Apple has a hundred billion dollars sitting around not doing very much." Couldn't be further from the truth. Apple runs one of the world's largest hedge funds: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-09-

Probably. Personally I like to call it emotional maturity. I'd be surprised if emotional maturity and immaturity couldn't be proven to exist. Obviously the 'norms' of emotional (social) maturity differ depending on socie

Can someone explain, briefly, how Docker works? It seems to be getting an increasing amount of buzz lately and I'd like to understand what's going on. All I hear is how you can wrap software in a container that will run anywhere -

Are they A/B testing the logo without the exclamation? About one out of 10 times I load yahoo.com the little animated ! never happens and the logo is left without the exclamation. Could just be bad code, though.

One of the most densely populated cities in the world by what measure? It's barely top 10 in the United States (depending on how you define 'city'). Hyperbole won't win any arguments here. Back to the topic at hand, some

The internet is a wonderful place-- anyone and everyone has free and equal opportunity to put their thoughts, ideas, designs, up for display and discussion. In my personal case, I'd rather have spent my 2 minutes elsewhere.

I'll bite -- improved twitter bootstrap theme! The new design is more like the traditional "fundable" SV-startup-bootstrap theme. In all seriousness, I think it is rather bold that they include a polarizing substance (butter)

Most of these websites look nearly identical (twitter bootstrap anyone?), across all three batches. As a visual learner and someone who is (unfortunately) inclined to judge a book by its cover, it's hard for me to get excited about any

Welcome to the PATRIOT act. There's a reason people are pissed about it.

Whose to say they would pursue those charges? Why do they have to even disclose why they nabbed them? Under the PATRIOT act they can make anyone disappear without justification. Obviously if they're committing treason they could figure

It's all going toward Snapchat R&D and sales, of course. Staying on the cutting edge of technology and maintaining your paying customers is tough in today's market.

Ha ha ha thank you Bernanke, this is amusing. Dot com 2.0 has arrived! When is the IPO?

Right, because clearly the economy is doing great right now. Robust growth across the board, especially in the middle class. I actually don't think we're printing fast enough, rates are still positive afterall. Bernanke could afford to be a

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent, as the saying goes.

Agreed. Consider: those who don't read HN are probably worse engineers that earn lower salaries, on average.

Sure, but what are the odds the universe fundamentally defies intuitive logic versus the odds our small brains currently can't see the full picture but in the meantime have invented insane (but cool) mathematical machinations? I guess it's

At the risk of being "that guy," a few thoughts popped into my head after reading this article. I couldn't help but reflect on the possibility of us just completely misunderstanding how the universe works. It wouldn't be the first time in h

Healthy in relation to what, donuts? In comparison to meat, vegetables, nuts, and fruit, I'd say whole grains aren't a very good choice. Any food that readily breaks down into carbohydrates (and by extension, sugar) should be avoided except

Right, peasants are allowed to plead while their rulers chain them and ship them off to interment camps. Your attitude suggests that government can do no wrong, that the Japanese had no right to defend their liberty against unwarranted aggr

A startup for crowd-vesting in startups... Am I the only one that sees this as some kind of signal that the capital markets are hopelessly fubar'd? That perhaps the dollar is turning to garbage faster than we'd like to admit if everyone's l
