Given the proposal to encrypt everything, I wonder if the architects are going with standard SSL or the extended validation SSL. Will we need to provide full business details and such just to get HTTPS on our websites, or will a simple cre

It's a neat idea, but what I'd really like to see is a way to use randomly-generated numbers as my credit card for one-time payments instead of handing over my full credit card details to an online store. I hear this is done by a

I wonder what kind of rationalization Bob Dylan, The Beatles, et al went through once they reached 30 years of age. Do they move the goal posts to not trusting anyone over 40? Or do they admit that they were youthful and wrong and state t

While I'm happy to see the world's first anything happen in my hometown of Vancouver, I do question why Vancouver was chosen over San Fran, Portland or New York. Those cities seem more fit for World's First. Even if its a Can

No. When I submitted the article I copy-pasted the title from CNN into HN. CNN must have updated the article's title since then.

One the one hand, a plug 'n' play architecture is great for expanding the system with new components over time. However, the Mac Pro (and any ATX tower computer) is usually easy to expand with expansion cards. The 2013 Mac Pro i

I'm a legs-up-on-table type of dreamer and thinker when I work. However, after working in corporate environments for many years I'm developing what can only been called a cognitive dissonance about this type of quiet thinking. T

heh. I get the title now, and explains my confusion with the article content. It led me to believe that you build an AngularJS-and-Rails-powered website. Thanks for the clarification.

I browsed egghead.io (it looks great, btw!) and I'm trying to figure out what parts are Angular and what are simply Rails server-generated views. The signin/signup look to be using standard Rails, but what parts are using Angular?

Talking to people? What a concept! Seriously though, it is amazing how much information can be gleaned from someone (rightly or wrongly) if you just sit down and talk with them for a bit. And even more information about someone's tru

In school, I was taught a mnemonic for fat soluble vitamins: DEAK. In other words, you want to "deke" [1] out of the way from these vitamins. You want to watch how much of vitamins D, E, A, K you ingest because they are fat solu

This is similar to something I read a couple years ago, where overactive/hyper children could actually be a result of lack of sleep, since tired children do not act "tired" like adults do. http://news.bbc.co.uk&#x2

15 mins seems like a lot of time for a timeout. The B777 top speed is 950 kmph, which means the plane can travel ~237 km before someone wakes up. That's scary.

My apologies if it seems like I conflated the my hearing loss by infection with headphone usage. That wasn't my intent...merely to show that the requirement to wear headphones in an open plan office could have potential negative effec

That's completely false. Pump your brakes... But I'll tell that to my audiologist the next time I see him. I guess he's been reading the wrong research all these years. There is a balance to be struck with everything and t

I'm aware of WorkSafe and I know several people that work there. The form you submitted applies to occupational hearing loss, the kind where you work in a loud workshop whose environment noise is in excess of a specific dB level, not

Whenever this topic comes up on HN, something that nobody discusses is the impact to people's health surrounding the overuse of headphones. Talk to any audiologist and describe how often you wear headphones; they will want to reach ou

Nice work on vimdeck. I like the idea. I ran into a problem while using this gem because it didn't automatically install the required dependencies while installing the vimdeck gem, so I submitted a pull request for the fix.
