there's no doubt that climate change is natural, but isn't the climate change "issue" about the notion that we're speeding it up?

a million bucks isn't enough to retire on in perpetuity, but it is enough to set yourself up in such a way that you can, professionally, do almost anything you want with your life as long as you have some sort of working income stream. i'd

looks like it lets you take a large, continuously updating stream of data and distribute the processing of it across multiple nodes. kinda like mapreduce.

yes. languages are tools. use what you need to get the job done. if you know PHP and C, it'll be much easier and faster for you to build your startup with PHP and C, instead of toughing it out learning RoR enough to get things done. perh

are they? we kind of tend to smash down comments that are even slightly off topic or non-contributory. they might sneak in on the less popular submissions, but i kind of feel like it won't get by any more of a problem than it already is.

by noodle 16y ago
how about you just disallow all frontpage submissions until a certain karma level? make people comment before they're allowed to submit links or text content, since those are the easiest to game. comments are easier for the community to mo

perhaps a higher threshold on non-link submissions?

no joke. that is lame. i forget, do things get auto-killed with the flag? or does it require an admin's hand? if things get auto-killed, perhaps the algorithm needs changing?

thats fair. i see the exact same 3-pack at around $9. regardless, though, you're right, its about convenience and margins. i've not done the legwork, so i don't know what the margins look like on something like this.

google shopping shows me 5 packs at sub-$10. just sayin'.

i tend to agree. my major gripe is the cost. something i've been considering creating for a while is a manpacks alternative.

yes, people use dvorak. there's good reason to use it. but to say it has "caught on" (aka popular) is questionable.
710.
by noodle 16y ago
the concept is interesting but i doubt it'll catch on. for reasons similar to why dvorak didn't. using this will require a learning curve, which will mean substantially slower, more frustrating use before your typing becomes faster. and f

i'd like to see two things: 1) a metric based on account age, submission karma, and comment karma. less weight on submission karma, since that is easier to manipulate. make this metric the barrier of entry for features instead of basing i
