I'm assuming that these are the curated subset of documents which have so far been made public by media organizations to accompany articles.

I've seen a couple of Prezi talks, and I have to say that that the only way a Prezi talk could possibly be more discombobulating would be if I was forced to watch it on an Oculus Rift while riding a city bus.

The 215 business is all red herring, honestly. The FISA 702 program continues unabated. Phone communication is obsolete, and they're not kicking and screaming that much when there is no serious challenge to 702 authority.

These both seem like incredibly niche objections. They're not somehow in bed with the anti-almond, anti-ice water lobby. I'm not saying they don't run a lousy report now and then -- that obviously happens.

I think your description is an accurate portrayal of one particular host on NPR who runs a discussion/talk show (Ashbrook), but it's unfair to cast that brush across all their shows; certainly NPR News does not do what you describ

This strikes me as naive and wishful, bordering on ignorant. Perhaps /he/ knows how to act ethically and idealistically despite relying advertising money, but he must see how the entire remainder of the news/media industry i

Presumably a yellow liquid is far less conspicuous than a shiny metallic liquid, and both acids are commonly stocked. I think it's easy to forget that obtaining chemicals on short notice was not always easy (especially not in a countr

We're for some reason getting a lot of this stuff on HN, but it's not surprising that there isn't much expertise to evaluate it here. It's impossible to argue anything about cancer from this study. The mean lifespan of

It would be charitable to call this article junk science. In particular, the idea that hTERT expression is a significant cancer risk is quite well-accepted, but heavily downplayed here. In culture, it's possible to immortalize a prim

I'll respond to this because I think you're missing the point. I'm saying that the "market makers" have made the "actual market" in a way that is self-defeating when technology no longer favors their hist

The value of endangerment laws to society, to the extent that there is any value, is to deter the offender and deter others as well. In the story here, I don't see how you can apply that ethic. I don't want to live in the societ

I completely agree re: the quality of streaming service apps. The Amazon Prime Video player is a joke. HBO GO is one of the buggiest apps I've ever used on Android. Netflix has gone a long way to improving their service and is proba

There would be less incentive toward this kind of piracy if content producers and distributors could get their collective acts together with more liberal licensing. Popcorn Time is winning because it's easier to use and find content t

I guess you didn't read the article. There are no ads on Popcorn Time and no source of revenue for the developers.

Man, that promo video was tough to watch all the way through. I'm not sure why they believe they need to hard-sell the concept of cheap rockets.

In the particular context in which this is written, I think it's likely to be accurate. Optimally, MD's should show research credentials for career advancement, but the system rarely gives them the time to do serious research.

This is an interesting point. I wonder if this portends a Chromecast hardware update.

It is at least nice to see someone holding to account the "futurists" and those who speak from armchairs and barstools and blogs (and newspapers) with unlimited certitude in their predictions of the future, if that's the purp

It sounds like you just may have a few things to learn about how networking works. Comcast is selling you a coax line into your house and, if you rent their modem, giving you an ethernet interface to it. It isn't making any claims ab

This is exactly the sort of weak-minded chest-thumping I fully expect to see from venture capitalists. Way to live up to your stereotypes, both of you.

Yes, you're absolutely right, and YC and other SV funders really have no clue what they're doing. It's a boon for biotech startups because the relevant VCs are very puckered up right now when it comes to biotech/pharma.

Same thing, around the same age. A somewhat famous ophthalmologist who did a decent amount of research insisted to my mother, at the time, that there was no statistical correlation between CRT use and myopia. Interesting to see the consen
