You can play music while doing other things. With video games, it is the thing that you are doing. If getting out of a chair to swap a disc is a big issue for someone, that's really not a healthy sign.

This was the one scene from the movie Infinity [1] that I really didn't like. Instead of a restaurant in Brazil, the script had Feynman challenging a shopkeeper. Unfortunately, the way is was done made him come off as arrogant and obno

This whole article is about a single slide? That seems a bit heavy-handed. OK, so the slide in question says: Mobile Users Reach to phone ~150x a Day... Could be Hands-Free with Wearables The article misses the key point of that he

In the case of lobster, I wonder if the issue was taste or freshness. If they "washed up on the beach in two-foot-high piles", it's easy to imagine that people were eating not-so-fresh seafood and getting sick, giving it a ba

Given the graph on that page, I wouldn't interpret it way way. At best, it's highly misleading. I support immigration reform for top talent. I just have a low tolerance for BS.

I know that HN has ring detection for up votes, but how about down votes? As of this writing, this post is only 1 hr old and has 98 points (which is higher than many of the posts currently above it) and 105 comments. yet it's dropping fast.

If you hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't even know that Authorship could be associated with just a directory. I bet a lot of people, including the OP, fall into that category. If the OP just associated it with his onsite blog (/news/), then

It makes the search result look like it's to a personal site or a blog - not a business. It would be good of Google if they allowed you to associated authorship with your site but opt out of the head shot in search results.

Like chiph I look at this as more of a civil liberties issue. There's always been a strong civil liberties contingent on HN, so while most political stories aren't fit for HN, I can see why this one has caught some peoples' attention here.
