Seriously. I ran a little experiment back one high school summer when I had a helium tank laying around and was bored/curious to know how far your typical lost-to-the-sky "Walmart" helium balloon would travel. I launched about 50 balloons

It's not hard to flip her spin direction, just focus on the point of her toes and tell yourself that her toes are going from (left->right) or (right->left) and that'll change the way you interpret her spin.

Telling people what to do with their money Heaven forbid anyone grow a brain and do their due diligence before shoving their money into a stock or company! Do you people really take financial advice from ANYONE and just invest away? Giv

There's a DOE study that shows extending DST saves energy and also has no statistically significant effect on fuel consumption... So this $480m "lost" productivity is potentially offset by energy savings across the US. I'm also less inclin

I despise websites that do this because I have to use IE7 at work. This is probably the second fastest way for me to banish your website from memory besides being spam. Everyone on here talks about making the sign-up process as easy as poss

Well I stand corrected on the figures then, but I certainly won't be using one. My fingers can't take the agony of typing on a keyboard designed for mice.

I'm a huge Nokia fan (N95 8gb here) but they keep building these "mobile computers" that few people buy -- their Nokia Communicator / N800 Tablet are two examples. They should stick to making great cellphones with awesome media capabilitie

This gets me pretty burnt out on 'programming stuff' 22 here -- I have a similar programming day-job and nothing works better than a good 1 hour of lifting/running to relax and clear your mind of the last 8-9 hours at work. Usually after

I agree, but so far I'm completely wrong =) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=328227 Then again, I have until Oct. 2010 for that to play out (and I do have money behind my mouth on that one). 2009 is going to be the year for testing Go

Amazing video. I wish he had a second video to explain how exactly the government is trying to fix the problem. Maybe that could be represented as a giant firehose of money fueled by the giant firetruck of taxpayers, which in turn is used

Tell your cousin he gets about 3 more years of goofing around like that where he should use the "stupid kid" or "I dunno" defense and get off scott-free or with a slap on the wrist. Once he's an adult though, the kiddy stuff has to stop. I

For good friends, you've got to put the effort in and block out the time, otherwise you'll always make excuses and say "I'm busy". With women, (I'm 22) I don't really care at this point. If a confident girl comes along that fully understan

That first sentence was so depressing. Are you really being serious?

Driving a manual is just more fun, more engaging, and makes you focus more on driving. It's just better. =) I had to put up with a slushbox rental recently and finally understood how exactly people can fall asleep at the wheel.

Evolution makes statement of fact which it can back up with experimental evidence No. Evolution (specifically biological macro-evolution, which is what ID and science disagree upon) does NOT make statements of fact. Both ID and Evolution

I believe the scientific community is defined by complete commitment to the rational. Sure, there are people who claim to be scientists, but the scientific method is an exercise in pure rationality. You would do best to rephrase that stat

Good point, that is pretty interesting how the career woman who wrote the article made her case from an emotional appeal (her story wrapped up with this): So, guys, if you're game for an exciting life, go ahead and marry a professional gal

My mistake. I changed it to "a biblical literalist." Whether it was intentional or not, your [2] paragraph there seems to reveal part of your own identity with the scientific community, primarily because of the way it was phrased. It rea

I would agree with most of your reasons, but for each of them you need to ask "why" until you get to the real source of the problem. For the most part, the greediness of people is why we had such ridiculously leveraged financial securities

I think I read about this hashing technique here and have been using it ever since. There's no need for any password tools and you simply remember one algorithm. After about a month of usage it takes no time to type in the PW for any site

I can't tell if this is a joke or serious. Either way, what you're saying here is that someone who does a math problem the right way is a perfectionist. That's correct in one sense of the word, however, under this specific context where we

Inability to achieve any lasting perfection is not fought, but embraced via lack of symmetry, respect for blemishes, and unsanitized simplicity. Imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness is incorporated directly into the design No m

When I write something about something, I'm always tempted to submit it on HN. Is it a bad idea? Please do. I would much rather read what you have to say and provide some advice than read yet another frikkin' article on how Obama's new t
