Surprise, surprise. A custom-built, overclocked machine with more of its cost invested in its CPU was faster than one that wasn’t overclocked and is sold for looks and stability over raw performance. It’s not like the choice of almost all t

Maybe the real problem is that people in this country still think that the more they hear something, the more it’s worth hearing. If they’d only keep those little slivers of truth about Hillary in mind among the sea of lies—if there were an

This may give her a stronger online presence in a naïve sense, but it also undermines all of her genuine supporters. Now every Hillary supporter on the Internet looks like they’re being paid off. Really makes you wonder what kind of adminis

I’m surprised they didn’t delve into the idea that theories aren’t seen as useful in the real world. It’s relatively easy to take the bait of exposing falsities that non -scientists believe and make an article about that, but I would have

I regret having had enough faith in HN to click on this. Try harder, sensationalist journalism. There’s no “deeper narrative”—it’s just a bunch of old men playing a cross between Dungeons & Dragons and Russian roulette.

I’ve noticed it becomes relatively easy to anticipate which articles will reach the front page once I’ve started reading the trending sites. However, I wonder whether there’s any way to anticipate which sites will begin to trend on the

Doesn’t it speak volumes that everyone who has this issue just goes ahead and buys a new iPhone instead of, you know, not giving Apple more money? Why would Apple even consider providing a better fix to this issue?
