Cool story, bro.

Why do sociologists break their own rules when it suits their ends? "More ethical" doesn't have a meaning in a world where morality isn't purely objective. Either this article was written by an idiot or his sources don't word good. Wait…was

Cool…that's not what the link sent me to. It was a 3-page I9 from–iirc–1991 that said nothing about paperwork reduction.

by simonjoe 16y ago
Yeah, me too. The reply to your question wasn't helpful as the link is to the I-9, none of which appears to have anything to do with paperwork reduction. The link off HN also mentioned page 3, which only lists valid forms of ID. I'm missi

Yours is the first intelligent commentary I've read. Thank you.

Every time I read a facebook story here or elsewhere, I get the overwhelming desire to delete my account. The only problem is that there may be people I want to interact with that I don't have other contact information for. The sad thing

The one thing I've learned from one of the most prestigious technical universities in the world is that results are more important than integrity.

I disagree wholeheartedly with his analysis. Yes, Apple is more closed. But…you can do a lot with OS X, other than the window manager and desktop system. I rooted my iPhone. Just like a lot of people. I script everything. I don't run the

Plus…keep calm and carry on. The British are going to be slow to adopt net neutrality because they may as well just let the market sort it out until the market f *s up too badly, then they'll look at it.

I live in atlanta…pretty accurate. Except for the comment about the weather. Yeah we have all 4 seasons…but we also have all 4 seasons once a week during the so-called "fall" and "spring." And there's no snow. One morning or so a year,

That would be a big deal if they supported virtualization on other hardware. Is it possible that it's a first step towards a more open (in regards to hardware requirements) OS X in general? I–personally–like OS X server for a lot of applic

+1 for Apples. I have run virtual machines in the past when necessary, but I find that I don't do it anymore as there isn't any software I have to use right now that doesn't run natively. OS X has a few decent package managers, though non

Well, if you're willing to accept that a wing–as described–produces lift in it's 'natural' upward direction (see other replies for some links as this step is a bit complicated), then there's only one way a plane can fly upside down. That r

The author is a moron. This movie is amazing, but it's also insanely straightforward. It doesn't require that kind of analysis; almost nothing does. I'm growing increasingly disheartened at the blogosphere simply because it gives people a

Maybe that'll happen to me eventually. It wasn't a 28-hour cycle, certainly, but I've been on the overdrive until crash sleep schedule basically since I was born. I don't see any end in sight. I have to stay up for almost 48 hours every f

Obviously, you never went to college.

I've used this sleep schedule before. It's extremely liberating, if only a little lonely at the beginning of each week. It's not hard to switch back and forth as long as you use one of the bedtimes that's normal for both schedules and just

Actually, alzheimer's can't be diagnosed premortem. It's only diagnosed by characteristic neural striations during a necropsy. Before death, the only conclusion that one can draw (along those lines) is some kind of dementia, not the parti
