Caveat emptor, for [1] the journal does not look legit.

Been using this since last November. I got the longest top version they make. Pretty satisfied with it so far. The manual cranking is bit tiring if you sit-stand multiple times in a day (FWP, I know!) Otherwise, a practical, no-nonsense pro

Basically, someone needs to go Snowden and publish the kitchen sink of Stingray records to allow people to even build a case and then to prove it went beyond reasonable use (if any).

Except, it's not some "guy", but some stupid algo which has been given the power to ruin markets.

Wait what? I thought there were two feeds. One for the paid subscribers in near real-time and a purposefully delayed feed for the rest of us. In order to prove what you are asking for would need full access to the realtime feed AND correspo

Well, do you need more lumens? No, seriously. Do you? If not, then what is your point? Are you a SAD researcher with training and experience working with SAD? Or are you a SAD sufferer or have first-hand experience with SAD? If the answer

Could you explain some more? I'm looking for these settings on my iPhone 6S, but can't seem to locate them. Thanks.

Wait! What do you mean "breaks" w.r.t. f.lux? How does f.lux cause any breaks? What has Apple ever had to fix with f.lux sideload installed iPhones? And what if I, the owner of the device, sign-off on the risks? If they have an EU

Needs an option for "lego resolution/scaling", i.e. 1x1 vs 2x2 vs 4x4 blocks per output pixel. For times when I want to make a more detailed (hence physically bigger) Legopic from, well, a pic.

But, it is like commenting out regions in code. You are factually right, in that there is no editing of the DNA sequence i.e. no mutations. But this phenomenon exerts a similar end effect.

It's a race to the bottom, folks, if your only barometer is money.

... you are actually allowed to do both. Allowed, yes. Capable, not likely. Multitasking is overrated and actually counterproductive when writing to the meat-store inside your skull.

What tuning parameters are you using and where are you making those changes?

Thanks for the detailed reply! You are quite right about the part where I don't understand politics. I like revolutions better! Especially, where the guilty heads roll, figuratively at least. However, this looks like a terrible mess th

Honest question: Can someone explain, in plain english, why it would be a bad idea to just kick Greece out of the EU? What's wrong with some good old anarchy and lynching a few dozen former politicians who led the Greeks to this abyss

Interesting analysis. But a little title hard to read because HN does not parse HTML. Please see the formatting guidelines for further info https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc .

Yep, soon as Rich Hickey gets around to writing a Lisp for it. Wonder what he'll call it though. Clotson? Watjure? Wisp?

Humans are complicated (myself included!). Human relationships, even more so. Taking every complaint seriously is a surefire recipe for disaster. I am still learning it the hard way ;-) The inverse, ignoring all complaints, is equally bad.

Moral of the story? Use GPL. If only Etherpad had done so in the first place.

Do you have any peer reviewed studies to support that statement?

That counts. By which math? 90% of the world doesn't know 90% of the history and doesn't care to know. The same history that includes big names of their era. Steve Jobs may be held up as an Ozymandias of our day, but will he be

Whenever something like this comes up, R&D is held up as the "cost center", whereas initial discovery (hit) or optimizing it into a "lead" molecule is a fraction of the cost of turning out a "drug", even ma

And who decides what is right and what is wrong in each and every case? Is their judgement never wrong ? In what percent of cases is it wrong ? Have your ever been wrongly convicted of something? Would you think or say the same thin

...but don't make these issues more simpler than they are. It makes more sense if you take a Darwinian viewpoint. Survival of the fittest and all that. In the US this happened a couple of hundred years ago as the native population

Well, the public needs to pony up a competitive remuneration + funding package to retain these guys at CMU. At least, that's what would happen in a true free market.

... Uber handed the posts to their preferred group rather than using the free market. Why should they? It's their money and they can choose to spend it (within reason) however they choose to. That actually is how a free market should
