You lost me at "retarded." Learn the laws of social decency and then come back and have a discussion.

Right. But non bicyclists don't know that. Which is why the media always reports on whether a cyclist killed by a car was wearing a helmet or not, when it doesn't matter. It's just victim blaming on the part of the media.

I propose to make drivers more accountable for their actions. If they kill a cyclist, they suffer repercussions. Currently, in the US at least, they do not.

Yeah, I agree. The only thing this has is being new and "cool." To me, it's just more inconvenient than wearing traditional stuff. Bright blinking lights are the best way to increase visibility, and many people (in NYC at l

A great game on HN to play with titles with question marks is to guess whether or not someone has mentioned Betteridge's Law yet. Herbig's Law says that within 5 minutes the chance is close to 100%. And yet, Betteridge's Law

Of course being more visible is going to be safer for you, but let's not let this put even more of the burden of safety on the bicyclist. If this catches on, riding at night without it will be considered as dumb as riding without a hel

28 points (and counting) for a bullshit fluff piece absolutely filled to the brim with Amazon product links. Tell people they can be fit with no effort on their part, add the word hack, bump up the upvotes with friend's accounts to get

He should actually just give this a rest. The article does not contribute to the discussion, it just further plugs his book. She was terribly wronged but no one else keeps bringing her up except him, for obvious financial gain. If he has so

I'm a very liberal persion, but I really like Rand Paul. I just wish he didn't think gays were going to burn in hell for all eternity, or at least would stick to libertarian principles on the issue and let people live how they wan

Whether it's legal not to lock them up or not, your friend is a completely irresponsible gun owner and not too bright as well. It depends heavily on your social circle and what state you're in. Being from upstate NY, I was raised

The Android app is really choppy and slow, I couldn't get the voice search to work, and uses Android design themes/elements from four years ago. I also had to create a Microsoft account in order to check it out for the 5 minutes I

Perhaps I'm splitting hairs, but I don't recall the Bible being mentioned in the comment. The article also details Biblical figures with made up links to Glastonbury, but you have to get past the subtitle first.

The abstract doesn't mention a control group of non-siblings. I would think that would be a prerequisite for concluding anything.

I've just started checking out Fastmail as a result of this thread. I hadn't heard of it before but I'm really into it. I've been trying out different email services lately in an effort to untether myself from Google, a

The joke is right in the title folks. We all got it, no need to fill the comments with the same joke.

No it doesn't. The first study is relative to people in the past, the other study is relative to people in the present.

His first blog post was also mostly lifted from here: https://community.smartthings.com/t/hack-the-amazon-dash-but... I found that by Googling the code snippet, which the original author actually gives a shoutout for.

Will their website not be taking orders as well? I love REI, but this is a pretty transparent marketing ploy. Also relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Nothing_Day

As an Android developer I'd say this is far from typical. However the statement actually isn't saying anything about Android development salaries, just that the language is Java. There are a lot of low paying Java jobs but Android

Yeah I don't think I'm backpedalling. I'm actually starting to question your sanity, but I guess we'll have to disagree.

Right. All I'm arguing is that making that statement does not amount to evidence of brain damage.

I don't understand the issue with that statement. You understand what "in practice" means right? I'm not saying it's technically legal, just that the legal repercussions are so low that no one seriously considers t

That's not really a crazy statement at all. Marijuana is, in practice, legal in America. Yes, this person is misinformed as to the number of ridiculous petty drug charges in America. Still not crazy. And while I wouldn't say caff
