   This is all dependent on your level of exercise and rate of perspiration. A 72kg person would have to drink around 6.5L of water for it to become dangerous[1]. [1] http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9927321

   Many forums are exactly that - a public conversation. Not everyone who makes a post on a forum is looking for an answer per se.

   I agree completely. I've always found that listening and transcribing are mutually exclusive. In university taking comprehensive notes were often helpful, but I would usually not know what had been discussed in the class until I re-rea

   I can't recommend Redline13 ( https://www.redline13.com ) highly enough. They act as a service that coordinates load testing using instances within your own AWS account. Really easy to use, and I can run tests that used to co

   But that's your choice, as was Twitter's choice to make a modification compatible with the majority of its users.

   Price is irrelevant in the case of theft. I consider purchasing stolen goods to be immoral.

   AIDS and the ebola virus are not spectrum diseases - you either have >= 1 ebola / HIV viron in your system or you don't. This is entirely different from depression which is a spectrum disorder with many differing degrees of s

    I'd argue the second is clearer in many cases. Readability trumps conciseness any day.

    This is akin to the common "I'm not racist, but" or "no offense, but".

    "We'd pick them out of the ocean, but we spent a lot of time cleaning those things up when we got them back" And there's the rub. SpaceX is working on having reusable components land on solid ground.

    My bank not only allows a maximum of 6 characters, but it truncates all characters beyond 6 when processing the login form. If my password was "passwd", they would accept "passwdjdodw89wawlks".

    I'm amazed that there hasn't been more conversation about this - kudos to both you and Strava for this. These tools and this data set seem to have huge potential for crowd-sourced mapping.

    The point is that there is a lot less to destroy on a barren freeway than a residential area filled with pedestrians and property.

    Non-religion? Why would atheism not be an appropriate descriptor in this situation? (I'm honestly curious.)

    I may be missing something, but this seems like a very misleading headline. The actual article states that the plane "dropped 5,000 feet (1,500m)" and later that the "twinjet descended 1,500m or even lower". This simply

    "create competition, cut out haggling" I believe that's the issue. The dealership lobby holds a lot of clout (and donation dollars) with the current government.

    I believe that the recent NSA revelations are the primary reason this bug is so concerning. We already know that the US government has access to the majority of packets being routed across the US, and this bug makes it trivial to decrypt th

    I don't think Hacker News is any place for this level of discourse. Voice your arguments, but there is no need for personal attacks.

    It seems to me that if you're planning to apply your serial to a piece of software that you download off The Pirate Bay then that software is not an illegal copy. It's only illegal if you breach your licensing agreement.

    To anyone attacking me, my comment was sarcastic and intended to point out the xenophobia inherent in the OPs statement. I wasn't saying that "I" thought minorities should be killed, I was dryly saying that the "ideal wo

    Yes, I feel like people didn't understand the point of my comment. I was pointing out that the OP's "ideal world" sounded pretty xenophobic when taken in context. Just because we don't care about someone doesn'

    There'd be a lot fewer minorities if that was the case.
