He was, "low risk" but the police carried AR-15s and handguns, brought along with 2 helicopter units and apparently copyright infringement sniffing dogs. What a gross waste of police, as well as taxpayer money.

How do I say this without incurring the wrath of people here on HN... Is this not what pg was talking about in this article? http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html This entire thing appears to be just a paid advertisement.

Ever since C++ got switched out by the major universities (in the US) for Java (circa 2001), there have been fewer and fewer people who learn/know C/C++ and who can then also understand pointers and other C related knowledge. It's not compl

Couldn't you argue that _not_ having the most widely used color would be a great differentiator for your app? People have been complaining for the longest time how pages and pages of apps on their iPhone are just pure blue icons. Why be ano

Mars (according to Wikipedia) has a surface area of 144,798,500km^2. This thing is within an area of 35 meters^2 and I'm guessing it's not very flashy when viewed on a screen. Needle in a haystack.

I don't want to continue being, "that guy" but what you actually mean is not a "TELL" it is how frustrated or emotionally charged a person is, or in poker parlance, how "tilted" or "steamed" he is. And you don't need sentiment analysis to
