Screaming and fighting isn't going to solve their hunger issue. Raiding the fridge will. Fortunately that is exactly what you should want them to do. That's the best place for them to get their food because your fridge should contain noth

Well, to be more serious about it, the actual work involved in producing food for a small number of people is not very significant. Once you have your setup built you can have a self-running hydroponic system in place that requires very li

Actually he addresses the "work" issue: "People focus too much on the 'work' aspect of it, it should be looked at as more of a zen practice. Growing and preparing food is very zen and is a very karmic and devotional practice!" In this way,

If you choose to grow your spinach in a cattle ranch you will be responsible for your own problem. The best part is that since I'm growing my own spinach, your lack of judgement does not affect me. So I don't need anybody regulating you.

How can you eliminate even user-visible filesystems? At some point you're going to have different types of data and you're going to want to organize it in some way. I don't want my tax spreadsheets in the same grouping as my music files.

Most of the article is critical of Friedman's writing and communication style. For example the author quotes Friedman: I stomped off, went through security, bought a Cinnabon, and glumly sat at the back of the B line, waiting to be herded o

The average person also isn't aware of how their 42" television is different from the next. And in fact they're quite similar. Even more similar than an iPad compared to a Galaxy Tab.

Curious: how could $150k be mid six-figure? I can accept the roughly 500K or 300K meanings, but if someone told me mid six figure, and they meant roughly $150K, I'd feel like they deliberately mislead or lied about the salary. There's no

Is there any real advantage to standing up for long periods of time vs sitting properly? I suspect there would be a negative impact on the knees.

"An important, but tangential point to note is that unlike the US, ...People join colleges already deciding (without taking a single course) what they plan to get a degree in." Isn't that how it works in the US as well? Don't students join

A lot of this information is presented as a consistent methodology when in fact it is very subjective. For example, one of the suggestions is that "you should try to avoid using inflated diction if a simpler phrase works equally well." Un

I don't see how the legibility is improved. It's different, but I think the current look is just fine. Maybe I'm just lacking an eye for typography.

To be fair, Mohamed Hassan did contact Samsung support and they didn't clear up the issue. In fact, I believe they may have even confirmed that there was a key logger installed! At that point his due dilligence has been done and he has con

It's an interesting type of discrimination at play here. The rich have just as much right to free speech and human emotion as everybody else. If someone feels that they have been mistreated, it is not appropriate to belittle their concern

I've always found Men's Health to have pretty ideal male physical forms on the cover. They've had Obama on the cover, Beckham, and sometimes the cover man isn't even shirtless. In fact, when I'm at the gym talking about goals, I'll someti

Consider the "local economy" as the entire planet. There is no reason to expect that "local" has to mean your own country. Goods, currency and labour are all placed on a global platform for competition. If you are concerned with trying t

I don't agree with the notion that classroom discipline is the teacher's responsibility. If a child needs discipline, the child should be sent away to receive it. A teacher should be responsible for teaching, period. Also, if a child comm

Isn't the URL unnecessarily complicated? You can't say "check out babylist.com" you have to say "check out babylist with a dot between the i and the s" or "it's not a dot com it's a dot st so check out babyli dot st". It just seems to be m

Fun project. But what's the advantage over a browser bookmark that links to news.ycombinator.com ? One of the great things about Hacker News is the simple web interface that is easy for most handheld browsers to deal with.

I'm a bit underwhelmed. It looks like the basic formula for initial research on the web. A quick wikipedia first paragraph overview, followed by google images if relevant. Plus voice. But most of us read faster than voice communication

Those statistics don't show an ROI, they show a correlation between education and unemployment. There could be many reasons that people with higher education aspirations have lower unemployment. Correlation does not imply causation. I'm
