I think it's a big issue in the US because of how easy it is to obtain. Anecdotally, I have talked with people in foreign countries (I'm from the US) who say it's much harder to obtain Vicodin even with prescription. I know o

It briefly touches on it, but the idea is to use something called an "Alcubierre drive". Obviously in an article aimed at the layman they won't go into a deep explanation about how such a drive would work, but they do say the

Interesting that all this discussion has started up based purely on a headline. The site that is linked to is borderline conspiracy theory stuff, and nomoba has been hard at work pushing it on HN over the past few days.

You have to wonder if Yelp did something to anger someone higher up that they're being bashed repeatedly in public.

From my vantage point in the US, it does seem like a significant number of young people do want change. I'm basing this on the contrast between Bernie Sanders supporters, largely young people, and Hillary Clinton supporters, who have a

Yes, I'm sure we would all love to go back to the days where our access to the internet was limited by a gatekeeper who insisted we only need their services, and told us wanting a billion websites was madness.

I would say the problem with the psych, in the article at least, is not so much they don't deal with precise language, but that they deal with precise, and rigid, protocols. The psych didn't take the time to clarify because the pr
