That's right, if they had known me they'd have been much less pessimistic, neurotic and depressive. Freud would have written: Civilization: Some Losers Are Still Discontent The Int…

Yes, despite the mind-bogglingly clueless questions you asked in your previous post, I'm the one whose knowledge is lacking. Yes, women like form fitting clothes, you know, as in t…

I see the wilfully-clueless are out in force on this one. I really thought your questions weren't serious, as to normal people these things are self-evident by age 15. However, see…

And yours and the other guy's read very, very naive. > So women in a yoga class ( at work ) are actively promoting their sexual characteristics at that time? How do you even equate…

> Do you have a source https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7408466 > Yes because women moving their hips means they automatically want to be considered for their sexual characteri…

And I'm saying it's perfectly OK to "spend a prolonged time watching it". If women are doing something that involves a lot of pelvic gyrations, then yes, it is absolutely understan…

Hula hooping in a non-private space is equivalent to screaming "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" If people are hula hooping, regardless of whether they are male or female, people are going…

The founder's wife sounds like she was threatened by JAH being an attractive and presumably smart woman being around her husband. The founder sounds like a pussy-whipped loser who …

Further info in support of the above comment: - The Mig had been manufactured in February 1976 and thus was one of their latest most sophisticated production aircraft. - Transistor…

Correct on all counts. People need to realise that smart people tend to have short tempers because they've encountered the same idiocy many, many times; the first few times they ma…

And here we see the pitfalls of fuzzy thinking. There is all the difference between "that's a stupid idea" and "you're an idiot."

I'm glad Linus isn't budging on this one. As soon as you start considering how not to hurt someone's feelings, you're putting speed bumps in the paths of your thoughts. If somethin…

Verdana is great for alphanumeric characters, and a little enhancement of the scope characters/operators makes it perfect for programming: http://i.imgur.com/KCKtUR1.png

That was the digital audio version of the Feynman Lectures on Physics. After years of being bombarded with mediocre TED talks, this is a shining example of pure excellence.

Why is this garbage on the front page? Hacker News isn't for antisocial 12-year-olds, chronological age or otherwise.

> How does the created know if it has that trait? Exactly. In this setup, the created can't know. Therefore it is pointless to worry about it. Let's say this god entity as understo…

Sorry, I don't get the point of this. It took my CSS with related rules grouped together and spread them all over, and expanded my shorthand CSS into longhand. The file size change…

> The company was convinced by one or more management consulting firms to outsource design and production of the 787’s components. All that needs to be said.

That too. I didn't bring that up because comparing the two is completely illogical and doesn't merit discussion.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? "The boss has learned something about you and now he doesn't like you. Should the boss fire you?" Like has nothing to do with it. Are you serious…

The two aren't even remotely related. Being gay is a strictly individual choice that has no effect on the employee's performance or that of other employees. Sleeping with the spous…

It's about not establishing the wrong precedent. If a corporation is seen to get away with behaving badly towards the court, the court is only setting itself up for worse trouble l…

The kind of environment/attitude the author is proposing is not one that engenders excellence. The problem is not criticism, it's ad hominem attacks ("this programmer is obviously …

The punchline of that joke is completely invalid: in the novel, the tycoons do in fact grow their own food. But then again, why bother to read an actual book when you can form your…

This shouldn't be an issue to programmers. With Greasemonkey or Scriptish it's trivial to write a script to clean up the page so that you only see the results.
