Just to be clear, are you drawing this conclusion because they both can involve flowcharts?

It certainly explains how it isn't super top heavy.

I'd be inclined to believe they trim the 's' to "singularize" the search term, so "cars" becomes "car", etc, then query where " LIKE '%bee%' "

That's why many people have cottages in the middle of no where: to get away. It's sort of a romantic idea. But to impose that "ideal" on a whole nation is something else entirely.

(TL;DR of the TL;DR) J&J pushed their dangerous pills aggressively, illegally, and unapologetically. They targeted children and seniors.

Are some numbers really better than no numbers when you make them up?

Isn't there an inherent economic fallacy in the idea that "virtually every degree - regardless of the school or the major - could more than pay for itself because college graduates would command premium incomes"? If everyone

I love HN and Reddit for this reason, really. It's crowd-sourced insight.

Okay this is why we have registered trademarks. You're telling me that Adblock, Adblock Plus, and AdBlock are three separate things? What the hell? I just assumed they were all the same thing until now.

There's an anime adaptation that's very well done. It explored the ideas of debris in space and clean-up efforts surrounding it pretty neatly.

Agreed, the tone of the article was "Who the hell doesn't know what Twitter is? Haha, what losers!" which is a really alienating and negative attitude to take towards the uninitiated.

The article mentions that the project is working on expanding to the other boroughs. They just finished Manhattan first.

I have a friend who has helicopter parents. The parents would take rotating shifts to fly out and live with them while they were at university (and not in residence) to keep an eye on them. To an extent it's robbed them of their indepe

I spent my first minute trying to click everything and anything to no avail. It's worth mentioning that refreshing the page loads another image and description in a random combination.

And the linked-to comment section is full of FUD as well, in case you were looking for an after-meal fear digestive.

Could someone please remove the anchor to the comments section?

I can only image that roller coaster... How long did you think you had AIDS for?

Well, not in Canada. So instead of paying through the nose for a second opinion you have the guilt of possibly squandering taxpayer money by having more doctors spend more time on you.

Forget the ones by the road. Your mind would be blown if you knew how much produce was discarded right out of the gate, even from the farm, simply because it doesn't look quite right.

But the picture accidentally makes use of forced perspective to make the fruit appear as though it's on a hardwood floor in an otherwise empty room, which it dominates.

Wow, I didn't even know there were two APAs... Well, I guess this is why trademark protection is a thing.

There has been so much speculation and FUD surrounding a potential connection between violent video games and violent crime; it's tempting and easy to blame things like mass shootings on violent video games. I appreciate you're no

First off. The report links violence in video games to "increases in aggressive behavior, aggressive cognitions and aggressive affect, and decreases in prosocial behavior, empathy and sensitivity to aggression", NOT violent crimes

Just because the next model has twice the whatever doesn't mean you need to get it. The only reason people upgrade on such a nice, predictable cycle is because of planned obsolescence.

Fair enough, although I disagree that the title is link-bait.

I thought on HN we didn't editorialize titles. (Unless it's for character count restrictions)

Well there are also different laws and different cultures to work around. The differences between the laws between states in the U.S. and between countries in Europe are probably orders of magnitude different. Trying to understand all those

Just because you could doesn't mean you should. I'd rather most of the websites I frequent stay as light as possible to focus on content... certain sites would benefit GREATLY from this tech but the majority wouldn't be able

That screenshot was so outstandingly bad I almost want to believe that someone elaborately staged the screenshot to make a Secure Channel exec look incompetent... but Occam's Razor prevails.

I think the site suffered from the HN Hug of Death, and I can't find a cached version. Anyone want to summarize?
