This sounds right, they were sourced from the UK. Sorry, I don't remember exactly, I was much younger then.

Generally your eye becomes red, it hurts, and is sensitive to light. There are varying degrees of an abrasion though, and the severity of these symptoms may make the less severe versions harder to determine if it's an abrasion or some

I don't mind you replying, it's no problem. Thanks, I'm sorry you had it too. Can you link me to one of the several studies proving the incontrovertible risk factors for swimming?

I had acanthamoeba in 2001. You pretty much have to have a corneal abrasion (scratch) before introducing the eye to water. It's not something you're going to get randomly from taking a shower or swimming. However, wearing contac

I don't think that's 100% true. It's like hiring an NFL player.. you get the talent you pay for (sometimes)

If you like Dwarf Fortress, but hate the interface, you may want to try out Rimworld. http://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/ It has a similar playstyle, but with graphics and a UI that isn't too bad. No

Video games aren't the only place that you can get away without practicing it. Places I've seen bad sportsmanship do fine (or prosper): - All major sports (NFL, NBA, college, etc.) - Business: Steve Jobs, (everywhere else) - Pres

> “Basically,” he said, “if you’re a jerk in real life, you’re going to be a jerk in any kind of social setting, and if you’re not, you’re not.” I have anecdotal evidence that this isn't the case. I can be an extreme jerk in games:

You don't have to regenerate parts to live long enough to have offspring. You can do it at like 15 years old. So evolution isn't going to help in that regard much.

It depends on how far apart those 6 million people are and how much infrastructure is already in place.

That, or if you don't have any clue what you might do differently that would make any difference at all.

I had a laptop from System76 at my previous job, which runs Ubuntu: https://system76.com/laptops I liked it, but I didn't travel with it so not sure how carry-able it is. Current shop is Mac oriented but I would have

That's not really a valid reason to not prosecute people though. If I run a red light and no one happened to be going through the intersection besides me, should I still not be ticketed?

I didn't, no, someone in my family came up with it. And I'm guessing you're being sarcastic, which is fine as a response. It's a strong word, and I'm sure plenty of people love that area. We just emphatically do n

Dirty is probably the wrong word... maybe run down? Roads are in poor condition, abandoned warehouses/factories everywhere, it looks like people don't care about the area. Probably nearby the airport, because that's where I

Agreed. I have to fly into Atlanta from the West Coast 3-4 times a year and it is also my least favorite major American city. There are nice places there (Top Golf, Bourbon Bar, tons of good restaurants)... But there are nice places everyw

Hot and humid in the summer. Rains frequently. It's the South.

What do other countries do? Is the decision made by one person that has these same fallacies? At least the risk is spread out some in the jury situation.

Aren't passengers rated? Assuming consistent bad behavior they should be able to avoid these customers. What exactly did they want Uber to do?

I would say tips are another word for "broker fee" then. If restaurants want to motivate their wait staff, they can pay them an actual commission based on sales if that's the goal.

Based on the comments, HN is obviously not the target audience. I would say that a vast percentage of Americans do live paycheck to paycheck (or close enough) to value this service.

Could it not also be used to constrain liability? If "Joe" has its license suspended, the manufacturer can slightly alter the algorithm and name it "Sue" and continue on.

This was a great read. Also one of the few articles that aren't broken up over multiple pages. Had trouble getting to the end though, too much content that it crashed multiple times in both safari and chrome on my iPhone.

These highly customizable products should have "workflow settings" that change a large group of settings to optimize a specific work flow. That and give an explanation/demo of the flow so that the user knows what to do. That

I don't disagree with your point, but I wouldn't say this is 100% true. I've seen where layoffs happen and the management of different sections asked to make cuts get to pick the members they want to layoff. So while you may
