Interesting. Everquest? Asheron's Call? Bots were pretty big in AC, but I recall them being rather simple and using them could get you banned.

I think the original analogy refutes itself. If a strange cat enters your house, you remove it. Likewise, the human body has plenty of methods for regulating fats, sugars, sodium, etc. Of course, you can overwhelm those regulatory methods,

I'm usually against the "why is this posted on HN" comments, so can someone just clue me into why they personally find this so interesting? Is it the effort put into the calculation or the revenue angle?

I found this a little bit hard to believe. I managed to graduate from a state school with no debt at all (neglible scholarships, small amount of savings, worked as an RA for a bit and did a decently paying 3 semester co-op). Surely my scho

I feel similarly. A lot of people in the media are blowing it off and making it seem like it's so easy to avoid infection. Glenn Beck made a song about Ebola with advice including "Don’t lick vomit off the street." Sure, it
