Plenty of close calls have taught me the value of always knowing my exits and always leaving plenty of space between me and the car in front of me (driving instructors often teach 1 car length for every 10 mph: 70 mph = 7 car lengths). Unfo

I recall doing the same as a kid (and as a young adult). The one I remember searching for were the Axis network cameras: inurl:/view.shtml [1] and intitle:”Live View / – AXIS” | inurl:view/view.shtml^ [2] [1] http:/&#x2

Forethought (visualization) and training play a big part as well. You reminded me of something that happened to me while driving a few years ago. I was on the highway in the far left lane going about 70mph. I was driving an Audi A4, which h

It seems odd to me that DO never bothered to make any kind of statement to counter this guy's claims (at least not that I've seen), especially considering how well-known this story has become. That tells me that DO is either guilt

For the punctuation-based text color, it would be great if the software was able to keep track of, or at least attempt to keep track of, what character was speaking and assign a specific color to that characters' text. For speed readin

Like others here, I love this idea; a similar concept has been bouncing around in my head over the past few months in light of NSA-related news. But the thing I keep coming back to in my head is, "how do we get people who know nothing

Export options were my first thought too. The bottom of their website [1] says, "Your data is yours and you have full conrol over it, so you can export or delete it at any time." I'm curious what that actually means though...

The tick problem in the Northeast USA seems to vary wildly every year. I've lived here my whole life (31 years, in the southern New Hampshire area) and I've seen tick populations fluctuate drastically from one year to the next. A

That response to the bite sounds exactly like my progression from normal response to near-immunity. As I mentioned above, it's not like I've always been immune and there wasn't one day when suddenly I became immune. Its been

My low-tech deterrent? A lifetime of avoiding deterrents. My body seems to have developed a natural resistance to them. I grew up in New Hampshire, not exactly as extreme as Alaska but a place where there are certainly plenty of mosquitos i

So wouldn't it make more sense to promote a turnout rather than talk down the possibility of turning out achieving anything? I'll be at the Old State house in Boston at 9:30am.

+1 for CommaFeed. I had been in denial about Google Reader shutting down simply because all the alternatives were painful in comparison. Thankfully, I discovered CommaFeed a few days ago and now I'm not dreading July 1st. CommaFeed alm

It looks like despite the error the verification still goes through. I uploaded my ID, it said it was doing some processing, and when I clicked next I got an error. However, I was still able to complete the verification and it now shows me

I've actually found that one cup of a specific type of coffee, namely instant coffee, drank immediately after breakfast, nearly always guarantees a bowel movement. I've actually found it to be extremely useful part of my daily routine and w

I personally use Foursquare for nothing more than tracking my travels. Initially, I checked into places just so that I could go back and look at my Foursquare history to remember where I was and when I was there. Then I realized that I shou

Very nice! As others said, as if I need an easier way to be distracted by HN. ;) I love that you made reading comments so easy -- that's usually what interests me more than the actual articles. One suggestion: When you're reading the commen

This reminds me of an excellent article on Wired called 'Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn? Surrender to This Algorithm' [1] in which Piotr Wozniak describes how he used the spacing effect to learn English, among other things. I

Check out my buddy Scott H Young's site (ScottHYoung dot com) for some serious, and tested, study hacking. He's currently doing a year-long experiment where he's attempting to complete a 4-year MIT Computer Science course in 12 months.

It could be that growth in Skype usage/userbase has reached a point where this sort of outage is more likely to occur as a result of slight fluctuations in supernode availability.

I have plans in place to do exactly this beginning of next year. But let me clarify: I plan to backpack, living on the bare minimum and traveling mostly by foot and train and using a plane only when absolutely necessary (like when I visit m

When I saw this submission, I remembered seeing it a few months earlier so I tried using searchyc.com to find it. I had no luck, so I tried Google. Got it in one shot ("How to be a Programmer" site:news.ycombinator.com).
