Is this a big deal? I don't know enough about nanotech to tell.

I have deep inroads into the design industry and really good freelancers, and the absolute rock bottom price for design I can get is $40. Lower than that, you're playing with fire.

Incredible, I love it. My first instinct is to say every public official should have this.

I'm thinking it comes from "liminal," which is a big concept in literature.

This guy could easily cut 50% of his words and lose no meaning. He needs an editor.

Didn't know about the the "has:attachment ext" search text. That's cool.

I'm trying really hard not to down vote you. Since you kept it relatively civil, I won't, but let me say that I'm extremely disappointed in your attitude: 1) Making it more difficult for poor people to get the loans that are now pretty requ

In big systems like amazon's it's not uncommon to fudge something that's not critical. They probably lost data during a migration 8 years ago, or some similar disaster and decided to just rebuild a replica by generating plausible dates. Tha

I seriously doubt most geeks are suffering from a stressed heart due to too much exercise. I don't think /standing/ will tip that scale.

It's impossible to consider everything by its merits. There is an untold deluge of information out there, vying for our attention. We have to filter it somehow. If someone acts exactly like all the other idiots in the history of "science,"

It wasn't my intention to say that "regulations" cause the problem, just that OUR regulation, as they stand, contribute. But it's not even my point, I'm just summarizing the article 8)

This gives me an idea actually. What if submissions actually did start at 0, costing submitters 1 karma to submit? It would have a chilling effect on submissions that would bias them toward stories that are obviously suited to HN, since a s

I thought this was going to be about the many court cases we hear about in the news, but never hear the results of. Pity.

Here's the money shot: 1. Have classes year 'round 2. Let students test out of any class in the curriculum 3. Get rid of mandatory, off-topic courses 4. Get rid of unnecessary computer labs 5. Offer all courses that can

My questions are: 1) Does it work (technically)? 2) What is the business model? I suspect it has something to do with collecting my phone number and tracking which companies I call, which I don't like.

tl;dr: The US is behind because the regulatory environment encourages duopolies instead of fierce competition like in Europe or Asia.

Interesting analogy, but reasoning by analogy is fallacious. Also the bit at the end in which he says that human bodies aren't expected to grow to 3 or 4 meters tall, so why should we expect the economy to grow like that, is particularly fl

It's a minor improvement--it's cleaner, it probably loads a little faster. Nothing drastic.

There is that one guy whose name escapes me. I think he's Indian, he's a really good looking guy, he came from a relatively poor immigrant family, started something at 16, he's around 26 now and worth $500m. I just can't think of his name,

This doesn't surprise me at all, and actually this sort of study has been done before MDMA was made illegal, to similar effect. Used correctly, it's a profoundly effective drug for working through emotions.

I can't upvote this enough, it's amazing.

I think the line you're drawing is blurry, and I think you're overgeneralizing. There are as many reasons to play as there are people, and as many types of play as there are games.

This is really hilarious, and I think it qualifies as system hacking.

This one of those legal logic puzzles that geeks love to do, but that lawyers roll their eyes at. He uses a series of statutes to show that if you have public wifi you exist in a legal gray are between subscriber and service provider, and t
