LOL. Same thing happened with IEX a.k.a Investors' Exchange. They wanted to have the domain name investorsexchange.com. Someone pointed out the obvious! I think it is mentioned in the book Flash Boys as well.

I wouldn't even turn it on when Uber was the only option. I would enter the street address manually.

Now, that is quite useful! I am going to try tmux just for that. Have been a screen user so far.

I found this quite useful. I have been using screen for a while but my friends use tmux. They love it and couldn't be bothered to switch to screen and me vice versa. Based on the post I don't seen any strong reason for either to s

I have very little confidence this will go anywhere. If anything the pharmaceutical companies will pay a small fine and agree to better inform patients and doctors, control supply chain better etc.. Nothing else is going to come out of this

“The problem is that I can’t find my own style,” he says. “Whenever I think of an idea for a piece, I know who it’s copying. I always see something of someone else in everything I do. I don’t have an original style.” That is quite fascinati

It's unfortunate and I sympathize with the author. But that said most of, if not all, the lessons-learned points he makes could have been potentially avoided if he had just spent some time reading even one or two startup-how-to books.

Someone tell El Presidente that with a backdoor others will be able to read his tax returns and bingo he will veto any such bill! Also, 'security backdoor' is an oxymoron. There is no such thing. It is either secure or has a backd

This is on all of us not just the climate science deniers and the profit hungry corporations, selfish individuals, crazy governments, or, uninformed individuals. It is not enough to protest, give speeches, start "green" companies,

This is cool. Apparently it's been ingrained in their culture, and for over a hundred years!

tl;dr Sanofi filed a lawsuit against Mylan alleges antitrust behavior. Essentially the article says that Mylan jacked up prices but offered steep rebates to "third party payors" on condition that they do not reimburse Auvi-Q (made

I meant public-funded. My concern was more in terms of funding drying up after a few years if the individual's philanthropic interests change. To me it is not a debate between two choices. It is just the order of preferences. But, like

Ha ha. It is true there are a lot of ways to send nudes now. But it is nothing new. In ancient times they used to send it by literally carving intricate statues. People in that region of the globe were way ahead of the times.

Sorry, but that is a very misleading tl;dr. I encourage other HN readers to actually read the article. I found it quite informative. Especially the use of graphene oxide instead of single-layer graphene.
