I'm sure "Gender Studies" will find a way to discredit such findings.. ;)

"What you are doing is reducing to a SEXUAL OBJECT one of the GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MIND THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN." - blah that is just his opinion. She's still a great scientist, even if some guys whistle. I think the author do

"For thousands of qualifying books, your past, present, and future print-edition purchases now allow you to buy the Kindle edition for $2.99, $1.99, $0.99, or free." Nice, but it should be free.

I prefer the paper version of my books, too. However, sometimes I like to have a digital copy, for example in order to search for content using a phrase. When I buy a vinyl record nowadays, I often get a download-code for the mp3-version. B

Smalltalk? I think it's more important in some cultures, muss less important / annoying in others.

If you have something interesting to say, say it. If not, don't speak. I sometimes dream of a world where this is the norm. That's why networking is such an "awful word". Also: Produce something of value for the world an

What a world, what a world. If a man helps another man, which I consider normal and I thought everyone would, you are "moved" when someone is nice. On the other hand it's a scandal if someone seems unfriendly, even though the

Grow up and stop worrying so much about what people think or say.

As a European I don't even know who Sheryl Sandberg is, but googling her it seems she's not really practising what she preaches: http://valleywag.gawker.com/revealed-sheryl-sandbergs-unpaid... ;)

Sure, all it does is to make sure that no cookies are retained and that other things that can identify the user (browser version, fonts, installed extensions, etc.), are more or less defaults which, I assume, makes id more difficult. I also

It's much easier to opt out of corporate sniffing. A Linux laptop with the OS booted from a live-cd comes to mind.. and of course not engaging in all these web-services helps.

Just wondering if reactions would be as positive if the product wasn't Google but, I don't know, Glock pistols or Royal Dutch Shell (aired 7 days after an oil spill). You could change the story to fit almost anything, after all.

Maybe it's a silly theory, but just I thought the other day that the increased fear of disaster is a result of less spirituality in the west. (= decline of christianity, increase of atheism) And also a result of detachment from nature

It's a pain in the ass, thats why. It's hard to explain and it's hard to implement. And don't forget about mobile: If your locked down phone is compromised (and I wouldn't assume it's not), then even if you hav

How disappointing. I mean, ok, it's a little bit funny, but I never had the patience to think about [what this is about]. (Don't want to spoil it.)

Even if it's nice, I won't recommend it to anyone. If it becomes big, I don't want the next Edward Snowden to tell me it's been used by .gov in the future.

Interesting that some companies really advertise on the oldest domain, http://symbolics.com . (Or it's fake so others want to advertise, too.)

.. and then google gets a letter with a request from the government, opens its data-centers and lies to its customers. It's not that easy your way, either..

This is a great piece that should go to top of HN. We can reverse the trend as consumers, by questioning our consuming behaviour. And as hackers, by building tools that the users like and which make the web more free. Power is where the mon

Common sense dictates that if you can't afford a $800 phone, you shouldn't buy one, doesn't it? Consumers have forgotten.

In the west everything is more focused on the individual. I have to succeed at X. I deserve Y. I have to put my stamp on the world. etc. etc. Not sure this is the best path to happiness.
