Let's put it this way: There is pretty compelling evidence that leaded gasoline reduces knocking in car engines, and that asbestos reduces fire deaths in buildings. No one's debating the direct goal of fluoride- it's the ex

Has this occurred more than 5 years ago? Because if not, you're not out of the woods. I hired the attorney too. I thought (and he thought) it wasn't ever going to make it to court. I moved on to a different job in a different st

While this is a noble thought, don't forget to give thought to your wife and baby. Informed spousal support is crucial to warding off postpartum depression, and keeping the marriage healthy requires a lot more work when there's a

Looking at the shotgun blasts they had been able to produce, I'm disappointed there wasn't a clearer signal. Take out the 130 IQ kid with little fluoride and the three kids with high fluoride and slightly-below-average IQ's

When I started a software dev contract in a Southern California high-rise, I had to undergo 2 hours of earthquake safety training before I could start working. I think it would be unusual for any Bay Area employer to require any earthquake

Although it's only been about 800 years, Genghis Khan might form a worthy counterexample to that assertion, judging by his disproportionate impact on the human genome.

79% of all CS grad students are international. You may find a somewhat rich applicant pool of international talent that can get student visas but not work authorization. Fish in a barrel. My college advisor was Turkish. Over 75% of the gr

I seriously doubt it was a fired-up plant that manufactured the uptick. More likely, I wonder if their model considers the natural decay of other chlorofluorocarbons, like R-115, R-114, or, counterintuitively, R-12. It's probably reas

First, find a good marriage counselor. Most therapists in the US are actually pretty bad at marriage counseling, focusing mainly on women and children who have been victims of abuse or addiction. Because they're not used to having to

Apparently most bovine-sourced methane comes from the burp part of the cycle rather than the fart. Manure may actually come in third when it comes to methane and the cow. Like humans (86%!), I suspect most carbon that passes through a cow

The dumbest questions begin with a disclaimer like the one used here. Yes, methane, especially from cows and livestock, is a contributor to global warming. Other sources of methane worthy of concern include oil and gas wells (apparently th

Almost all solar power works just fine off indirect sunlight too. Consider that Germany has plenty of locations lucky to get 1-2 hours of direct sunlight per day and yet it has outpaced the US for many years. New construction surrounded by

Many of the comments in here are getting hung up on efficiency. Do you know how efficient your car is? Your water heater? No, and it's not because those figures are important. What actually matters is how much it costs you to travel

Thanks for the suggestion. Can you offer any specific recommendations? I never thought this idea would be as confusing as it is.

It does a lot more than just a webpage. It's a full app, it has games, and it allows for content moderation.

This is probably best rephrased as an "Ask HN:". The -20C to 150C existing range is instructive- you don't need to hit both your extremes, merely occasionally deviate past those extremes. -20C for instance occurs throughout

As an expert in solar, this looks like a refreshingly honest and innovative approach in an ocean of same-old bunk and bunkum.

+1 for mentioning the interview, but a link would've been helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7hnVYMoctM Microsoft did claim they were worth $20, according to Gov. Exhibit 17. Most of your argument is thus false

Source that Microsoft lied? Gov Exhibit 17. There are probably many more. There are about three or four lies on there, which anybody familiar with the computer recycling business can confirm. Microsoft had no potential sales of genuine op

So many in this case are missing the point. If Microsoft caught him violating their copyright, and it bothered Microsoft, Microsoft should have sued in civil court. That is the purpose of civil court- to penalize wrongdoing by companies.

I think the problem's origin is twofold: 1. Salesmen come in two stripes- poodles and pigs. The poodle is nice, courteous, and will do what you ask it to. Most salespeople are poodles. Pigs, on the other hand, are aggressive, will s

Sounds like you got mugged, and you're trying to decide if you got mugged. The VC obviously got what they wanted, so take the hint. The only recourse you have at this point is legal- something like tortious interference with contract

Sure. Apple is very up-front about not wanting just a webpage in the form of an app. Since the original homepage was just that, the app required use of features that could only come from the mobile device, which include in this app, camera

This is a common problem with investors. Others may differ, but I think it's a red flag, if they want you to starve. If you're dependent on the company, you'll become desperate to stay with the company. This opens up the do
