That's not a win-win situation - it's an oversimplified solution peddled as a win-win situation by the likes of r/politics.

I would be excited to go work for yahoo at this moment in their history. They're making some relatively big moves to get their game back.

When I was in middle school, I had a few science teachers who would actually show us how to make bombs during experiments. We made and set off a few dry ice bombs, and at one point we were mixing chemicals and our teacher said "watch this"

That article was in very poor taste. I'm typically a libertarian, anti big government, with a slight conspiracy theorist side to me, but I was thrilled to see the well-coordinated and well-executed manhunt that captured the suspect alive. I

Thank God. While I'm honestly not concerned about the man's well-being - that 8-year-old boy should be alive in his place - I am very curious as to why they did this.

You're right, it doesn't yet support collection-level locking ( https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-1240 ).

I don't know, when I read the title the first thing my mind jumped to was CTRL-r command searching. I was thrilled to see something similar but better.

How feasible would it be, instead of encryption/decryption in the browser source code (which can be defeated easily), to do decryption and rendering in javascript, perhaps with emscripten + asm.js optimizations? That should provide a reason

This problem is far more complicated than political parties. It's an issue with human nature. Entitlement exists outside of politics.

Good to see another groundbreaking Spotify "innovation." I remember Grooveshark getting into the chrome web store almost two years ago.

"Probably will never happen" is a phrase that has been applied to human flight, walking on the moon, the internet, just about everything we take for granted now. I tend to dismiss someone's opinion when they utter such words.

I personally love the bread bowl. Locals may not eat them, but the Boudin Bakery at the Fisherman's Wharf has the best sourdough bread I've ever had in my life and their bread bowl with clam chowder is something that everyone should try at

Or a table with two columns, Key and Value. Index by key. Specify keys in code with constants. No need to alter table when adding new metrics.

Funny you mention that, it seems to help with some of my less-appetizing zero fat pig-out sessions ;)

Certainly! First of all, the most important thing for having a visible six-pack is low bodyfat, around 8-9%. Having a strong, defined core is also important, so doing ab exercises such as hanging leg raises and ab wheel rollouts is a good i

I've been doing the full-on warrior diet for the past two weeks or so along with the full-body workout on this page: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/gironda-8x8-system... . I do that workout at least 3 times a week. I've gained a

Heavy strength training in the vain of powerlifting or something like that with a bunch of potentially dangerous heavy exercises is certainly something you'd want energy for and drinking milk or something like that is probably a good idea.

What part of this sounds like shitty nutrition? Fasting is wonderful for your health. I used to do the whole preworkout meal, snack, post-workout shake, all that "bro" science. Now I won't train any other way. If there's one common thread a

It seems us hacker news readers certainly love nitpicking. I'm not talking about traditional HIIT (spring, walk, sprint, walk, repeat until you're dead). I'm talking about very fast weight training (Vince Gironda ftw!) which gives gives you

Then exercise with weights at high-speed on an empty stomach (empty glycogen supplies) and wait for a couple hours before enjoying your large amount of carbs and protein. Maybe consume some branched chain amino acids to signal to your body

Yes! The once-a-day meal plan (warrior diet). That's what I'm currently doing and my fitness gains have shot through the roof. I love binging on homemade fat-free pizza and cookies after my workout and being able to feel my abs on top of my

While you're right that fat in and of itself does not lead to weight gain, it's the combination with sugar that absolutely, 100% leads to weight gain. Sugar and other high glycemic index foods (eg white bread) causes an insulin spike and pu

They could, but only for a short while with small artists until the labels start seeing them as a competitor rather than something to be exploited. Once the labels start to feel threatened you can be 100% certain they will take their ball a
