This article classifies blunders by their material value. I'd be interested to see similar analysis classifying blunders based on their depth and the player's rating. For example, failing to see a simple capture would be a depth

The administration usually consists of former faculty. Deans and Vice Presidents are selected from department heads. These positions are rewards for faculty who have served longest or who are more politically connected. I've even se

I would suspect ownership of physical addresses to be a lot less murky and problematic than copyright ownership since it is a matter of public record and issues of fair use do not come into play. Ownership of a physical address could be ve

I am not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but hypothetically, couldn't the landlord simply have his lawyer send a list of addresses he owns to Airbnb? Shouldn't Airbnb have a responsibility to exclude addresses upon rec

My girlfriend's younger brother was in the marines. He had to get his older sister to buy ammunition because he couldn't despite handling far more deadly firearms in the military.

In some states you are required to identify yourself and a recent court ruling showed that merely remaining silence was not enough to invoke one's right to silence. One must paradoxically, speak up to have the right to remain silent. Here

There isn't just one definition of "violence" and the word is sometimes defined to include a malicious intent. Rarely would one say that a surgeon violently injures his patient when performing an operation or that the first responders admi

Also it could have the effect of associating the Ubuntu splash screen with malware in the users mind. Given that many users associate a black linux commandline prompt with malicious hackers, this might cement in their minds that linux is b

Just to add one anecdotal data point, I've done that and so far(for about 1 year) I have not had any problems. I do squat, deadlift, bench press, press, pullups, and situps. I've worked my way up to 230lbs + bar in deadlift and 200lbs + b

It'd be nice if the "Official Site" result was bigger. When I search for "Sensei's Library" for example, the official page is the first result on google and has extra links within the page. On DDG, the official site is thinly sandwiched b

It might be worthwhile to consider that detecting a face and finding the identity of a face are not the same. From the "Eigenface" article on wikipedia, "The pictures constituting the training set should have been taken under the same ligh

Wouldn't it be better to leave these obscene comments for websites like reddit or slashdot? I come to HN to get away from the numerous attempts at humor. When everyone is doing it, it grows tiresome.

I interviewed for a job and got accepted. There were no contracts until I was hired, gave my 2 weeks notice at the former job, and then on the first day was presented with a non-compete to sign just as "routine paperwork". I didn't sign,

Certainly the export of strong encryption technology was illegal, but the domestic use was not as far as I'm aware. Which law made strong encryption illegal?

One could also say an encrypted hard drive is like the GPS location of a coffin containing a dead body. Can the authorities compel you to reveal the GPS coordinates of the body? If you deny any knowledge or reveal that you "forgot" the co

A prime example of a fundamental feature of facebook is the concept of a single wall that all of my friends can post to. Even if I could figure out how to prevent my work/church/family friends and my college/bar-hopping/trouble-making frie

It's kind of like online dating. You could email a potential candidate and ask for a photo, but it's really not worth it since everyone else posts a photo. You just naturally assume that posting a generic description without a photo means

Also lost in the debate, it is not just the signalling effect or the acquired knowledge but the selection bias that is not taken into account. Consider this science experiment: A scientist is testing a "success" pill. He picks 2 groups fi

Ideas and execution both matter. The real point of “It’s not the idea, it’s the execution.” is to emphasize that idea people (those who dream up an idea and expect others to do the hard work) cannot simply throw their idea out into the wor
