I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. Religion spreads when people tell other people about the religion. You can't believe in Jesus (or whomever) until they tell you who he is. Atheism, on the contrary, simply means "the lack of th

That is begging the question. What if the person WANTS you to be able to find them, but they have always gone by a nickname that they can't use because facebook's policies is real-names-only?

I actually made a flash game a while back that lets you iterate this much faster. ( http://spu.co/get-to-philosophy ) But in fact it often ends up at Science much more than it does Philosophy. The trick is what things to exclude, what lin

But most of the damage from keyloggers happens to people who do NOT suspect they are using an insecure system (their own).

I've looked at SHA1_Pass when it was posted here on HN a while back, and I'm not impressed. You have to memorize a passphrase, which is only marginally easier than remembering a master password, but you also have to remember an individual w

Unfortunately the changes have broken one of my most used Android apps -- HNDroid. I hope either the changes here revert, or the app developer updates it, cuz I miss it! :(

You meant "pervasive", not "persuasive", didn't you?

At least he didn't spell "lose" with two O's like I've seen half a dozen times on HN in the past month!

by pzxc 16y ago
Yeah but if you wiin, then you wiin the item. How is it that people can spell and punctuate everything else correctly but can't remember the difference between lose and loose? (I see this all the time, and it's even becoming frequent on HN.

That's the exact reason I don't use an ad blocker at all. I use the internet with such frequency that I know what is an ad and what is not, and as a result I am pretty much ad-blind with or without an ad blocker. It's been years since I've

Is it true that it won't work on Windows XP? I know XP is like a decade old, and I really don't wanna start an upgrade-your-browser-you-noob flamefest, but it seems kinda lame to exclude the people still on XP from having a modern browser

Weird, it looks very much like a remake of Famfamfam's silk icon set. Compare: http://fugue-icons-src.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/all-preview.... to: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/previews/index_abc.p... There are a lot of differ

I'm surprised it's that much. 1000% inflation over 91 years is almost 11% per year. That's pretty serious inflation.

Please learn the difference between "lose" and "loose". Seriously, you've got nothing to lose on this one.

My business has a higher profit margin, about 80%, so by his definition of profitable, no sorry I win. =P (course their revenue is orders of magnitude higher than mine, but the author judged based on profit margin)

My point is that saying the belief is Ayn-Randian is disingenuous, because a lot of founding fathers believed that also. But I guess it's easier to diss on Ayn Rand than it is on Thomas Jefferson.

Then it's wrong in a very unfortunate Founding Fathers way also. Because the Declaration of Independence states that we DO have inalienable rights and they ARE natural laws (i.e., endowed by our creator, which is a religious way of saying n

It's not insufficient information. I've disregarded resumes before because of a single typo. Usually in situations where I have more than enough candidates to choose from, but still. A one page document that is your primary and in some case

It's not unfair and I've done the same thing. A resume is the first impression you give to a prospective employer; if you can't bother to make sure the details are right on it, how likely are you to bother with details on all the projects y

I may get downvoted for this, but I stop reading anything when I see the author can't differentiate between "lose" and "loose". Normally I'm somewhat forgiving on spelling, but that particular one has become a pet peeve of mine because it

Does playing with my smartphone count (it is not a pc)? Hehe. Seriously: Reading books, tennis, swimming, lifeplanning, occasionally going out for a drink with friends.
