I agree that some people may want to see more evidence than others. Of course, there is no clear boundary between "obvious" and "needs proof". However, I found that most people are quite able to judge whether it would be

While I like your friendly answer, I would really prefer sources to be mentioned alongside statements in HN discussions. Saying "just google it if you do not believe me" places the burden of verification on the reader, whereas it

Thanks for this cool tool. FWIW, older versions of Opera with included mail client have the same problem.

I'm aware that the blog post and the discussion on HN focus on the situation in the USA. Nevertheless, I'd like to add that the situation is quite different in Germany and probably many other European countries. As hinted at by 205guy in th

How does this relate to the 'reading group' concept? Did people who arrived late just sit down quietly and start reading?

Maybe the requirements of the DoD are different than those of a city administration? When the City of Munich switched from MS to Linux/OpenOffice, they had to port 21,000 macros [1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux

In 2010 I saw a keynote by Ari Kristinn Jónsson [1] in which he explained how they designed and implemented semi-automated scheduling software for the Mars Exploration Rovers at NASA. Could it be that there are people in NASA who already ha

I have reported spammers/phishers to Hetzner in the past and experienced the same: Hetzner's default policy is to forward a complaint to the server's owner - which also kind of surprised and annoyed me. On the phone, support staff told me

I agree. I have a Dell Latitude E6420. With its all-metal case it feels even more sturdy than the Thinkpad T-series. Like most Thinkpads, the E6420 has is easy to disassemble and upgrade. Except for the fingerprint reader, everything works

It might be that the parent actually meant what they said. While I agree with you in general, your comment implies that you know better than the parent what is ethical with regard to eating meat.

We are treating humans differently, too. I love my children more than someone I meet on the streets. Generally, our society considers it still ethically ok to have different amounts of empathy for different people and treat them differentl

The difference is that taking photos or filming with a mobile phone or digital camera is an explicit action that is usually obvious to the people being filmed. With always-on gadgets like Google Glass, you can never be sure whether the wear
