I don't want to alarm you, but there's a good chance that food is rotting inside your digestive system right now. Bacteria in the human gut is an all-too-common condition, and can lead to breakdown of food proteins if not treated

Totally. It implies a semi-lazy work ethic (do just enough to support yourself+family, plus some left over for fun), and a lack of ambition. In truth, you gotta bust your ass at a small shop to get your work out there and make $$ from it.

Product idea: if you work at a startup of just 4-5 people and it's pretty quiet in your little space, we'll rent out temporary fake co-workers, who will talk loudly about their weekends next to you, shoot nerf guns, and get on the

This does go a long way to explaining speeder bikes -- the human rider controls the gross movement, but the bike itself does obstacle avoidance. Otherwise, there's no way a regular stormtrooper could fly those through the thick forest

Well, it looks like my only recourse is to mount an aggressive campaign to be the new HN moderator, take you down, restore the original titles, and eventually get run out due to various lurid scandals involving clickbots. Thanks anyway for

Dang, I think you're too aggressive with article renames. The author claims that Go is poorly designed. And that's the title of the article. Yes, it's a provocative opinion (and the article text is loud), but the title its

Honest question: what is your concern? Any link you click could possibly contain a hidden attack, perhaps a malicious one. If this link had been labeled differently, would you not have clicked?
