   I don't care about people coming up to talk to me. It usually means they have something they need help with or an answer to. What bothers me is the noise, and no noise cancellation set of headsets work because they block out white nois

   The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates that more than 95 percent of overseas trade produced or consumed by the United States moves through our ports. Who woulda thought that overseas trade would go through ports .

   MLB deserves a special level of scorn for building the technology to bring them in to the digital age and then blocking a majority of users from seeing their favorite team . Local blackouts are fucking asinine -- especially when the servic

   I wholly disagree with your post. By your definition, any logic gate could be considered an 'AI'. You're stretching the term to the point that it no longer holds any meaning.

   Now I’m writing you again because someone braver than I did something I couldn’t bring myself to do. Are you kidding me. Attempting suicide because of your job in a job market that is pretty fertile is not fucking brave .

   I don't think this is always true. Scotland was given its referendum. Britain voted on secession from the EU. Northern Ireland is talking about unification. There are certainly places like Spain which have been beating the drum of &#x2

   Spotlight already does this. Type in 'aurora borealis' and it'll pull a wiki blurb (or maybe definition).

    Counterpoint: A lot of people have played CAH and it is arguably the most popular board/card/party game of the 21st century.

    Maybe we can get one of those foil crisper trays that microwave pizzas come with, stick it behind Mars.

    In college I tried to see how many games of Freecell I could win without marking a loss. I got up to 1100 before I played a game that someone sent me (seed) that was unbeatable.

    I have never developed outside of OSX/Linux. My languages are Ruby, Javascript, and the things in that domain. Can someone ELIaRubyDev what .NET is? I used to think it was a language, but I've since been told that the language I t

    When startups skirt entrenched and slow industries, it's disruption; when bicyclists add traffic cones to already-defined bike lanes, it's an affront to democracy. Nice, HN commenters.

    I really don't see how you get the improvement of lacking bureaucracy as an affront to democracy.

    It's not that socializing is the problem, it's that there is no enforcement -- your safety inside is guaranteed by nothing; so participation in a gang is inevitable as an outgrowth of the lack of safety.

    I never thought to use Huginn as an IFTTT replacement. I may have to spool up an instance; I wanted to before, but I have never thought of a compelling need that Huginn would solve.

    Does anyone know of any other threejs talk/walkthrough posts? I love watching the development of things with it, like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db-7J5OaSag

    Because if you own the home and want to rent it out, that implies you own another home that you are paying those taxes on, or are otherwise renting yourself.

    Care to explain your stance, or should we just agree with a brand new HN account saying a published research paper is false?

    No it's not, it's like that as an artifact of what it used to be (that the President was elected by electors, not by the people).

    This isn't about losing an election, this is about the next 40 years. Trump will sit one justice immediately, setting the lean of the court, and likely 3 more over his presidency. He is setting the SCOTUS for the next 40 years. He has
