Odd, I'm not sure if this is intentional but after the "check if you are registered" step it wants me to register, despite the fact that my registration is active (I can look it up for NC and I've voted in 2 primaries in

I hope its not too little too late, we've known about bacterial resistance for decades at this point. Here is hoping animal feed is next.

I feel like we have this discussion at work daily involving nhibernate. It is an abstraction that makes 80% of work quicker and easier, but what it makes easier and cleaner would have been trivial anyways.

It may be a pragmatic approach but thats part of the issue in the Olympics in general - building a lot of stuff (on the public dime) that will likely never have a use again. We're "lucky" enough that we always need more priso

Despite the reception this article seems to be getting here I find it speaks to me pretty directly and summarizes some observations I've been making lately. I consider myself an intermediate developer (at just under 3 years out of scho

This is true, but my guess is an extension of life like you are talking about will probably come with increased health and hopefully a big decrease in health costs. I think that the terrible heath of most of our elderly people and the cost

I read The Dying Man by Damon Knight when I was a teenager and it had a profound affect on me at the time in regards to thoughts about immortality (it would be interesting to read it again, it would probably seem less significant now). It i

I work more like you than as described in the article; when I'm depressed, I tend to get worse at everything other than focusing on the thing or things that seem to be causing the depression.

I find it odd how they seem to use depression and sadness interchangeably. I'm not myself entirely sure where I would draw the line between the two though. The most simple analogy I can think of is sadness can result naturally from a l

Not sure why this got downvoted, its a reasonable point if cynical. You could say the same thing about America though, there are still many wealthy families that can trace wealth back to slave ownership. In addition we massacred the Native

That first link 404's btw, removing /en/ seems to fix it.

If this was the case, I would think that a single request where they record the timing between characters clientside and post that timing information along with the password would work better. Timing incoming POST requests as part of a sing

If the nunit test adapter for visual studio ran just a little bit slower (than it already is at < v3.0) I would get through much more of the HN articles than I currently do. To be serious, I definitely identified with some of the article

I think it is important to be introspective as a nation and overall I agree, but I also agree with others that the US has been far less empire-y than other empires have been, even if we've been equally stupid. I think it is time to wor

You've actually hit on the exact point, there is no point in reasoning about race, but as much as we wish that people didn't see race, the fact is they do. That is the entire point of the term. Because of your race, people do reas

Did I just stumble on slashdot? I much prefer the discourse on HN but the reaction to "PC culture" and "White privilege" is basically the same everywhere. It has never been supposed to mean anything about an individual,

I think their discussion of "learned helplessness" is interesting in this context. I think it also applies to most Americans in the feeling that this will occur in our name, without our consent or approval, regardless of what we d

One thing that I observed the year I lost two great uncles (one from one side of the family and six months later one from the other) to cancer was how easy it is for the closest family to get very tied up in the logistics and medical side t

This reminds me of the argument for free market capitalism. In theory it seems like a great idea, but in practice it is just abused to death. Proponents will just say "it wasn't implemented correctly", because short of foundi
