300,912 people apparently disagree. Sometimes even gross oversimplifications are better than nothing at all.

Negative real world impact of social media. Seems like very much on topic for HN given that quite a few of us make a living and/or are creating new social media sites.

We already have a libertarian-wall-of-text-troll on HN so sorry, the spot is taken. Please do not make HN into a soap box for your politics by hi-jacking threads like this. It's off-topic and it takes all the fun out of it.

If the hospital has a feedback process you might want to make use of it to get them out of the 'he knows what he's doing' rut. If nobody tells them they might continue to believe it. Likely they have your daughters case chalked up as a succ

Very neat! Suggestion: add a 'flags' field where you can specify stuff like -std=c99 and any other flags you might need for your code to compile, and a horizontal rule or something like that after every line of input code. If you do the 'fl

An 84 year old resident had his head bashed in with a street tile by one of the visitors. Small towns like this are not very well equipped to deal with flash mobs of this kind, especially not when a substantial portion of those arriving has

You're being silly. A very large majority of HN users use Apple products in one form or another. I can't speak for the rest but I am just not automatically going to accept each and every thing that any entity does as good. And that includes

Reverse engineering has been applied to all the fields that you cite. The F-35 is a funny example in the sense that if there is one item that would be reverse engineered in its entirety down to the last transistor then it probably would be

Your best answer doesn't hold water. YouTube was started in 2005, which means it was founded after the first round of these lawsuits had started. These patents are about live content, Youtube was about stored content.

If a couple of rounded corners and some UI tweaks are worth $3B then I wonder what the design of a clock is worth.

This is a budget model. Think about it: you're getting absolutely amazing machinery, the stuff of science fiction not all that long ago for a little more than $2000. It is incredible. I understand that your price range is lower than this

That's a risk category issue. Porn is categorized as 'high risk' and you need a different merchant account class and associated review procedure for that. You will also pay (sometimes much) higher fees, potentially you'll have to accept a h

When I saw the 'northskirt' the first time I had an idea similar to this one. Vibrate the little buzzer in your phone more aggressively when you're going the wrong way, slowing it down as you are going the right way. Simple, only one 'bit'

They could be a hero by placing them in the public domain. Licensing them for even a nominal fee would be extortion. $1 for something that should be $0 is an infinity too large, besides it would still require you to get that license. If som

Maybe they should have used flash instead. That would have given them a higher percentage of successful deliveries than this solution.

I'd suggest going through a reference rather than to push your way in the front door. If someone is told by someone they already trust that you can deliver that's going to be a lot more effective than you telling them yourself.
