Only an infinitesimal number of stiffs are actually infectious. Most of them are in West Africa and died of Ebola. So it's not really a concern in most circumstances.

>The funeral home staff arranged the girl over dry ice to slow her decay >Knox slept curled up in the small space beside it at night Sounds like a recipe for more dead people than strictly necessary.

A step in the right direction, at least. Problem is, if I come to a new town I probably won't be checking the app store. So it would have to be something that spans the whole EU. Also, EU needs to be a single data roaming zone, it&#x27

If they're worried about people throwing the word "film" around too flippantly, they probably shouldn't do the same with "celluloid". Acetate, please.

While I agree with the law, I take exception to my own possessions being hijacked for law enforcement. Apparently there's no need for a warrant to sneak in robotic cops in people's homes and offices.

I hate calling for cabs, waiting in a queue, answering all sorts of irrelevant questions beyond where I want to be picked up, only to have the cab show up at the wrong place anyway. So Uber is definitely scratching an itch. An itch that the

I wish I had that tutorial back when I was doing classic Mac software and needed icons.

The problem is that there's no way of holding the buyers accountable if their own countries and the taxpayers whose funds they are misappropriating refuse to do so. It turns out the American World Police isn't so effective in thin

It's very hard to have sympathy for believers in dowsing. The victims of the explosions resulting from the gross negligence, yes, but not the negligent, superstitious idiots. Just shows the whole Iraq project was doomed all along.

Agreed, they should definitely change that. Software freedom is the real goal here, not converting people from one economic system to another.

Nor is there a way for the voter to verify that the machine itself is what it's supposed to be. Now, if the hardware instead 1) could be provided by the voters themselves, 2) was easily auditable 3) was used in their daily lives provid

Good idea. But what I should do is write a script that in addition to that puts and indicator so I know which posts the HN readership has decided my feeble little mind needs to be spared from lest I too start having unpopular opinions. Whic

There most certainly are. But like technical standards, they're a dime a dozen.

Finally! It's so annoying to keep listen to people exaggerating problems of GC and pauses just because they only know of naive approaches like mark and sweep or reference counting.

At least HN doesn't seem to be perpetuating the Reddit hypocrisy about voting for quality and not popularity, but the problem remains, voting popular opinions up and unpopular ones down only serves to turn the place into an echo chambe

I just don't understand where all this porn comes from. Is it a common compulsion for people in relationships of little commitment to manufacture pornography to leave around in ways it can easily be shared with third parties? I also do

I'd suggest changing the orange colour. Not because I care in the slightest about the YC trademark, but it's still nice to get a positive indication of which site I'm looking at. For example, most of the Yotsuba archivers see

That's still a strange way to work compared to using a DVCS or even checking out with old-fashioned SVN or CVS. I also hope they didn't use the crippled console version of Emacs, but made use of TRAMP.

Would it be too much to ask for them to put the social media adoption rate in the chart as well?

What are you trying to bring attention to? The actual article, or the Reddit thread? If the latter, can you please explain why it's relevant before I take the time to read the comments?

I don't see a problem with having interns learn Emacs, but he should probably look into a better version control and deployment strategy than editing files on the server.

What does this have to do with QR codes? The result would have been the same for an address printed on the label. But it really shows their dedication to customer care when they decided to let anyone trying to collect the promotion after it

A pretty good idea. Before they just used emulators to allow the developers time to catch up and release new binaries. I never understood why x86 had to be a hard requirement for the PC, changing architectures really isn't a big deal.
