Such a clever concept! It seems so obvious in retrospect but the idea wouldn't have ever occurred to me. I'd definitely enjoy slowly leafing through a few of my favorite films this way.

Watch out because this site has links to hundreds of other newspapers too dating back to the 1700s. I made the mistake of checking one of them out yesterday and lost the next four hours of my day reading about historical events. Really ama

I was about to post "This is the internet. Why would someone believe the letter is authentic?" when I saw your comment. Really, just weigh the likelihood of a company taking the time to write such an over-the-top letter, against t

I think the art itself represents the 'ivory tower' in the art world more than this essay about it. Look at the past century in the art world... Duchamp's toilet, 'Piss Christ', Warhol's art films starring cros

I realize this is not some high-stakes, formal research project or anything. That said, I don't know what to make of the 'results' because of the design of the experiment What I'd like to see the author do is this: 1) wr

I know that in theory you're defending the right of people to speak truth to power, but in practice you're just defending the right of people to scribble cartoon tits and dicks on a toilet stall. Almost no comments on the inte

Try a web search for the most profitable drugs in pharma. They're not one-off cures. They're drugs the same patient takes repeatedly for decades: insulin, statins, pain-killers, etc.

I found parts of this amusing, but it does feel like bad form of me to post an article with a paragraph trashing Paul Graham on a site PG started. Apologies to him if he's browsing HN today :) Edit: I reread the post and noticed the au
