   The difference is that defecating in the hallways isn't a routine practice in our industry, but sexual harassment of the sort she describes is. There's a need for more awareness and action within the community -- and a hands-off "let the

   He says, "I’ve created a public example that you can view, copy and then edit." [1] and the names there match his screenshot. They also include ringers like "Jenny Craig" and "Billy Jean". How/why are you "quite sure these are real names"

   Is anyone else slightly surprised that: (a) this is public info online, and; (b) it's apparently public because, of all things, HIPPA?

   If this is really the case wouldn't they be designed with exceedingly short memories (a few minutes at most)?

    Great idea, but I think the word "screen" is too overloaded (even alongside GNU or shell) to be meaningful for comparison. The useful information here is simply that tmux mentions are going up: < http://google.com/trends/?q=tmux> .

    Beware, however, that you can't do it often. I had a request for an expensive app refund denied because I had asked for (and been granted) a $0.99 app refund a few weeks earlier. So save it for when you need it.

    Very helpful, thanks. And for what it's worth, this is what I (and xyzzyz above, I imagine) wished you would have said initially, two comments up, for a higher HN S/N.

    I'm not qualified to judge whether or not it's true, but if you actually read the article, they address this concern directly: Boric acid is much less expensive than Spinosad. It is also about as harmless to humans as table salt is. I

    I currently live ~1500 miles away from most of my closest friends. That's one good reason. I also travel frequently for work, and I like the idea of remotely listening to and chatting about music with my daughter, since it's something she

    I submitted this point as another thread ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3027328 ) but one interesting detail is that in order to share music, users must choose the same backend provider. I.e., if I use MOG and you use Spotify, we do

    Chances aren't, actually. GPUs impose many constraints. I engineer embarrassingly parallel workloads for a living, using both CPUs and GPUs, and only a small minority of real codes can be usefully ported to GPUs today. Those that can usu

    Yes -- many families have shifted from single to dual-earner in order to maintain the same standard of living, so the household income charts really understate the decline in individual wages over this period.
