There's way less of a market in other demographics. For example, white women: we have less interesting hair. There simply aren't as many things we can do with it, because the structure of the individual hairs is less complex. Plus

Ah. You're assuming that the original poster's dislike of exercise is the same as your dislike of the pain of exercise . They're not necessarily the same. As it happens, I dislike exercise as well, and it's not because

> we're all feeling the pain here Are you positing that everyone hates exercise to the same degree? I don't buy it. It's pretty obvious some people enjoy running. It's also pretty obvious some people hate it. Why sho

a) Lots of people bring that argument up. I hear it all the time. b) There's a difference between "the US pays" and "the US government pays".

Note that CBP does not have access to all the data NSA has gathered. If they did, we wouldn't be talking about this at all; they'd already have everything they wanted.

He's pointing out what social media companies should do, not predicting that they'll actually do it. That is not naive. Imagine what would happen to the Overton window if we never talked about what people should do, even when we

For purposes of security, there's no difference between example.com/api/my-webhook?auth-token=[some-uuid] and example.com/api/my-webhook/[some-uuid].

The cameras are sold as a service, so the companies only make money if there are enough tickets for the municipality to justify the expense.

Being on Hacker News does not make someone a "he." (Which is a good thing. My husband and kids would be a bit taken aback otherwise.)

Headline should read "Bank Execs in Davos Privately Say London Clearing Probably Safe". Right now the last bit is chopped off.

I think you may be hearing something else and interpreting it as "ect." I also am from the US and have never once in my entire life heard this.

For non-front-end developers, it's an important and useful tool, because it lets us build things without having to know CSS. But none of the experienced front-end developers I've ever worked with will use it, and most of them winc

It is neither cultural nor hormonal. A miscarriage is the loss of what was going to be a human life, and all the plans, thoughts, and hopes that went along with it. And the later in pregnancy it is, the harder it is to take. Miscarrying at

I tend to answer "can you...?" questions by pointing out that you can do just about anything in any Turing-complete language. The more useful questions are whether you should , and if not, why not. It sounds like an annoying ha

This is fascinating. If you had fewer women to choose from, and their applications were often worse, you were arguably "lowering the bar" in the name of diversity. And yet you ended up with better results in the end. Do you think

I would submit that the difference you describe is partly because the US is so much bigger that each person has proportionally less control, and partly because Quebec is more socially cohesive than the US. The state of Oregon has a similar

Not the OP, but LilyPond is a TeX-like music editor. Sibelius is a WYSIWYG editor. One might expect the author of TeX to prefer a similar approach to typesetting music. Like the OP, though, I don't find it surprising. Writing in your n
