I think you're being unfair. The author is a sociologist. She's not criticizing working men's behavior. On the contrary - she's simply using it as an indicator to point out that there's something unique about how re

This is a weak pitch... Kayak, Hipmunk, any almost any other site have an option to include nearby airports when searching. I compared the route they screenshotted and apparently the only reason TripDelta come up with a $150 cheaper one-way

Regarding the first half of your comment, don't forget about Viagra, which was "designed" to treat angina. It didn't do so well during clinical trials, but there was this one weird side effect that kept coming up...

By whom? The Post link you provided didn't mention Musk, and it's an odd, poorly-organized article that conflates drivenness and social awkwardness with Aspergers, when they're not necessarily the same. People with Aspergers

This still gives Google the ability to track the web pages we visit, and many of us block ads because of tracking, not because they're ugly. That said, I do think that solutions like Google Contributor are the way forward if it can bec

Had the same reaction and even pulled up the BuzzFeed home page, wondering if they had refactored their style. Nope! The main page is still full of crappy linkbait lists... but here's hoping they do more articles like this.

My immediate reaction upon reading this headline and story was "Wait, this is in BuzzFeed?" Probably the first time I've noticed a BuzzFeed article on HN, definitely the first time I've upvoted one.

The headline should have called it a "treatment" rather than a "cure," but methadone is a legit treatment. Agreed that getting folks on suboxone would be even better, but from a public health perspective it's still

Is there any significant difference between this exchange and the upcoming Winklevoss exchange?[1] Both claim to be "regulated," but it doesn't look like the Winklevoss version will offer SIPC protections either.[2] [1] http

I wonder if there is a significant difference in the drivers who choose Car2Go. The first time I saw a Car2Go vehicle was in Portland, when I had to react because the driver did something foolish. I remember doing a double take to see if so

Please don't upvote this article. It appears to be someone jumping to a wild conclusion. I, like the other commenters, installed Yosemite on a third party SSD and it works great. If this were a common problem it would have affected man

Hooray. This project was misleading and naive in many ways, and it definitely seemed to violate Kickstarter's rules against resale. But that's not why I'm happy this project got killed. The much bigger problem was the open SS

No, no, no. This is a perfect example of why everyone should be required to learn statistics. We don't need a device to do multiple simultaneous screenings. If this were important, we'd already be doing multiple manual screenings

For those not aware, other studies have shown that consuming diet soda may actually increase the chance of obesity. So that is not necessarily news. If you are curious, here is a pretty good study (full text): http://onlinelibrar

Right, but what would that look like? Would the FISA court jail a citizen without a trial, and can you imagine a FISA judge wanting to make that call, knowing that their decision will soon become public? Because once someone is prosecuted t

UV sterilization works by disrupting the DNA of pathogens -- which is exactly the same mechanism that causes skin cancer. So I don't see this product arriving anytime soon.

I agree with your sentiment and it is depressing to see you downvoted. On HN I would have hoped your comment would stimulate those familiar with the code base to offer hints of where to start hacking, rather than rapid down arrow clicks.
