h and l are obvious for left and right as they're on the left and right. Lower case j goes below the baseline, so down, k is solid at the top so up.

There's a guy in my office with a USB 2 to 1080p VGA adaptor which seems to work fine, at least for basic web / office app usage. It's just a generic unbranded piece of kit from a local computer store. I wouldn't get a laptop with less than

Interesting, thanks for that. Guess the problem is the people doing it don't remember, and their systems aren't advanced enough to make the link between $sandwich_shop and $other_sandwich_shop having similar menus. A good problem to solve.

"If you want to build a formidable business for the long term then you need a ubiquity strategy, not a mobile strategy." I like this idea, matches up with some of the strategies in robomartin's comment at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

Companies are not trying to minimize the cost of labour, they're trying to maximize the return they get on what they pay for labour. So they might decide to get someone for 150k rather than someone for 50k because they think they can get mo

Interesting how often scientific research links on HN seem to be to discoveries with Chinese names in American universities. As someone who didn't study in the US, are there particularly large numbers of Chinese students and professors in s

Just found it I'm afraid, Mill's mess with 5 no siteswap was about as far as I got.

Didn't downvote, but they could just as well take 20% of the bond as a fee. Facebook could also charge $1 and give 50c to the user for receiving the message rather than keeping the whole dollar.

I thought it was a bit strange to go from mills mess to site swap. Any site swap can be juggled as a mills mess, they're effectively independent. E.g. see the first trick in this video for a five ball mills mess 97531 pattern. http://www.y

Agree, plenty of goodwill from me as well, which is why I was surprised to see a popular voted question about a YC company having trouble suddenly disappear then. Without a good explanation it makes me lose trust in the transparency of HN,

It's not tinfoil hat speculation. Sharp dropoffs also happened when the story of an AirBNB house being robbed broke. Rather than just seeing one story dropping off we need a way to see every time this happens to make our own minds up over w
