That's mainly because Iceland doesn't have the insane, self-destructive immigration policies a lot of other European countries are currently practicing Ah, so they have a much more open policy allowing free movement of labour? T

Evolution is "supposed" to make the genome live longer. Managed to recreate? Cool. You've served your evolutionary purpose.

Wow, this is just a really shitty thing to say. You genuinely think it's a left-wing feminism issue? And that feminists would be perfectly happy with an app that discriminated on wallet thickness and status ...whilst also rallying agai

It's not so much that such an attack would be created by the government (which if that's what GP is saying, then I utterly agree with you). It's more what's done after the attack — painting it as a terrorist attack in th

Pentatonics is a good idea. Maybe to distinguish in this case you might have a 'blip' type noise go down to the sound of the do block's tone?

This article had me thinking — what if the different levels of scope were represented by reading the text at different pitches? Kind of like rainbow parentheses with lisp for sighted people. It'd be really interesting to try out a tech

If he's getting anything near what his skeptics are saying with somewhat better than 50% accuracy after frame by frame processing and word analysis (which would be the rather detrimental portrayal given in the article), then he's

"Personally I like the intimacy of being close to killing the animals we eat, it's authentic" This is such an bizarre statement. Something like "I like the intimacy of being close to [a horrendous thing]". I mean I

If there's one thing that the prolific rise of the Y Combinator accelerator has done, it's made the combinator much harder to google for. (Though ofc Fixed-point combinator would still work).

Slaughterhouse Five is a short and compelling book. Why not read a page of it now?

This is intriguing. What would you need to model as a the continuous input to try and get from the timelapse? With the imagery, a model was made of the 3D scene in which was then used for the 2D final output. I'm having difficulty imag

Trust me, the British obsession with prestigious higher education establishments matches or perhaps even exceeds the American obsession.

£18k (in London!), to do digital marketing and SEO? Potential to be made permanent later? Is this a joke? I'm not sure HN is the avenue for this type of job.

Maybe http://workflowy.com --- the pro version gets you unlimited items when the free one has a maximum monthly limit.

But that isn't the point. The point is that in Google you don't need to do that — it just knows what you're searching on (possibly) due to the personalisation.

What about price discrimination? Micro-economics 101 says using price discrimination is a good way to reduce consumer surplus, so a blanket "don't have low prices" is all very well, but you could have say, a small-business&#x

A little offtopic, but I love the mouse-over effect on the blog header. It makes the text immediately stick out and seem more real — in the sense that this presentation says about making games "juicy": http://www.youtub

Are you sure it was a tilde? My terminal emulator puts in tildes for various special characters (such as when I press the delete key).

Checkout workflowy.com <- it's "just" an outliner, but it's really changed the way I work.

Agreed that is helpful to address. However, the article talks about an 'or' model or an 'and' model, completely failing to take into account the actual model that people use — that you either gain or lose energy from soc
