I had an account on pre-Yahoo!-purchase, and I vaguely remember that the login was merged with or replaced by the Yahoo! login system. Sadly, I either can't remember the former or it was supplanted by the latter and is now inaccessible

Love the name. It's what we called our shared FTP-served collection of mp3s during college 15-19 years ago. Yours is a MUCH more impressive amount of information!

Presumably, not by cutting down on old cruft but by cutting down on new cruft. I would think that requiring the post to stand some kind of "test of time" would cut down on quick-trending but shallow content in a lot of cases.

Not a bad read. In the opening paragraph you conflate argument validity with argument soundness, though. Thanks for the link.

The UK had Colossus a bit earlier, which I believe was the first fully electronic digital computer.

Worth noting that much of the markup on smaller quantity retail items and interest for the poor (or even middle class) works because of this mitigation if risk before profit-loss.

Sure, but acknowledging the reality for many people that they are limited by a number of interests to stay geographically local, the local news and housing monopolies at 50-mile radius level are more restrictive than digital monopolies. Not

Even the informal concept is useful, but I suspect it could be formalized. I'd love to hear from a theoretical CS person about that notion.

Nothing beyond the normal "cognitive reserve" findings that high education and broad cognitive engagement makes the brain pathology take longer to reduce your functioning to a dementia state.

Peter Yearsley's Librivox recordings are great for this, too. When I'm not tired, he's an excellent reader. When I am, he gets me straight to sleep.

As the years wear on, I find Reddit, FB comments, and Twitter (and in my decade of lurking, HN less so) to be great examples of the importance of the Nonviolent Communication framework.

I agree. Neither do top industry execs, top sales personnel, etc. It seems from most of the comments that even in lieu of a work phone, compensation for a mobile plan is normal and expected most places. I may be mistaken, but the culture of

There's no good explanation except that US healthcare orgs tend to misuse staff and clinical providers. Super-specialized doctor with untold postdoc training in faculty at my academic medical center? You've got to encrypt your per

It's a bad black and white (or very few tone) scan. Really too bad that the titles of the items are unreadable!

I see what you're saying, but I have to say as someone who was there, this was not the problem with Reddit. Early Reddit (as in first year) was extremely tech/programming/"netizen" focused, and it was really a lot l

I'm guess you're reading PT as personal trainer and it was intended as physical therapist.

Of course not. I'm a little confused as to how you might think that if the case. I use it daily, and I'm invested in its continued improvement. I ask because I'd like to know how projects best succeed in the kind of situation

If you find (or build) anything like that, I'm sure HN would love it. Personally, I'm concerned about my favorite reference manager, Qiqqa, which was open sourced when retired by the company that made it. As far as I can tell, the

I absolutely love this, and cruising through it on mobile is a good experience. It reminds me of sacred-texts.org, but obviously more focused and with better navigation.

I use Amazon Glacier through FastGlacier. Pennies a month, and I'm reassured.

Almost true. In most cases of stalking, you're right, because there is no evidence of mental illness. To your point--no psychiatrist will institutionalize someone on your testimony, but a judge might. Depending on the state, a judge can sen

Both Tom and Bruce are professors at my alma mater, and both were while I attended. Looking back, I regret never having had a class with either. I was certainly not expecting this.

As an inveterate Google Reader user, I say well done! One problem: the "Preferences" dialog has no text, just two blank radio buttons (using Chrome).
