It feels like the author is confusing cancer with sperm count. So he spends half the article discussing how cell phone signals don't have the energy to cause DNA breakage and then cause cancer. But this is about sperm count. All you ha

I tried hovering and long pressing on the Wired article's two like buttons, the one on the side and the one on the bottom. No extra options. Tried the same on the Facebook newsroom post ( https://newsroom.fb.com/news&#x2

Depends on what you fly. I always used to fly first flight out of Newark preferentially compared to anything else out of Newark/LGA/JFK simply because I always got upgraded without fail. First flight out of Newark leaves before th

Pretty neat. I had Menacer as a kid and a friend had Super Scope. Neither really got a lot of games, although we liked Terminator on yours just for the cool robots and dark theme, I guess, and the Battleclash SNES game. We spent a lot of af

Even if you post a more informative title, the mods of HN will change it back to the original site title. It has happened countless times and is pretty much the site policy. The claim is that is prevents posters from making click-bait title

I canceled Creative Cloud recently as well after losing my job. Yes, the customer service agent did make a bunch of offers to try to keep me. I assume they are required to do that by management, so I don't really hold it against them.

Not to mention you have to beat their prices too. AWS and Microsoft are expected to keep prices low to keep out competition.

Good to hear. The few times I've called a cab in SF it never showed up. I've heard there is no penalty to them if they just pick someone else up instead on the way. So glad their company got the penalty for poor service in the end

Actually, scientifically, one queue for all registers is the superior solution. It reduces wait times for customers in general vs. one queue for each register (where one of the lines might get stuck for a long time). That's why you fin

Doing the transcodes is pretty much a drop in the bucket for NetFlix. Even transcoding the same movie 1000x at full length is pretty meaningless to them since it is a fixed cost against their library size. What they really care about is thi

Yes, they even talk about recommending to the user to use Onion instead, so that's definitely a case they are considering.

Never heard of it. The page makes it sound like a Facebook replacement. None of my friends or family are on it, however, so it doesn't seem capable to perform the core function of Facebook of communicating with them.

It's definitely true that finely ground flour digests faster (more surface area, less breakdown needed, etc.). Effect probably exists for apples too.

Agreed. The time is irrelevant to me, because I can easily spend a month without internet programming my mobile apps, but I checked their schedules and their prices and they are very high compared to just flying wherever I need to go. Getti

It's exactly the same here in the US. Only a small minority of the states (10) allow illegals to get driver's licenses, for example.

Might be a good business decision. Any popular game with in app purchases tends to get a "welcome package" from a popular patent troll, for example. If you are an indie starting out you might as well avoid the legal costs by just

Did you read the article we're commenting on? It stated roundworms have been frozen and illustrated learned behaviors to certain scents afterwards. It also stated rabbit brain tissue retained long term memories.
