    It would be much easier to play this if you could pause without blocking the image.

    One of EVE's sayings is "Don't fly what you can't lose." In general, you get that kind of ship especially for these types of fights. There isn't much base-building or PvE inside of…

    To me personally (I don't keep up with professional design trends), that is an amazingly well designed page. I click on it and I immediately know what the website is used for. All …

    Yes it can, as it has been done before with the police system. You have a group of people watching society and reporting any criminal activity. It just so happens that the response…

    Playing Devil's Advocate here (I actually agree with you), the main argument against privacy is that it hampers effective and just running of the government. Simply put, the govern…

    Ask HN: Why not Java?

    I am building a web crawler to access data to be processed. All the code is fairly high level, so I am drawn to Python, but there are certain bits of it that require data manipulat…

    It is, though. Einstein wrote an entire book explaining the theory of general relativity to people who didn't even understand the math: http://www.amazon.com/Relativity-Special-Gen…

    I think that the problem lies with Billy Bob, not the gun. It's not worth preventing the edge cases if that means reducing the average person's ability to defend themselves. Say th…

    I think it is the other way around. Chomsky is trying to find the underlying structure of intelligence (just like gravity underlies planetary motion), and is saying that others are…

    It's like the word "indefinitely". It may mean "we can start it back up anytime!" from a dictionary sense, but it's actual use is that "it's probably not coming back". "Maintenance…

    I haven't seen a single person being entitled or saying that they deserved more from Sparrow. People are upset because Sparrow is being abandoned, and "rights" or what you "deserve…

    This is one thing that I've thought about Web 2.0 (now that it is in full swing). Countless dollars seem to be going to trying to reinvent the desktop inside the browser, when real…

    I both agree and disagree with your post. I do agree that people's discoveries and successes are very much based on luck (i.e. external factors), but I don't think personal accompl…

    I'm saying that interpreting IQ as intelligence is extremely narrow-minded and misleading to the general public. There is absolutely no evidence that IQ is a decent measure of inte…

    Correlations mean almost nothing. Just going off your list: -IQ:Test Performance - Of course. IQ is a grade off of a test. It correlates with itself. If you mean tests such as the …

    This article is very hard to digest because of the writers switching of "intelligence" and "IQ". Intelligence =/= IQ. IQ is a score on a test, and intelligence is a vague set of me…

    I think this problem is why academia is so valuable; academics sole purpose is to share their discoveries. What they build is not a product, but rather a set of ideas ( or others' …

    Steam will still curate; this system only prioritized some games for review. It works a lot like the Steam Workshop.

    I suppose you have to know the general idea of a Version Control System (VCS) first before you can understand how Git does version control. I'll try my hand at it. A Version Contro…

    Eh, this doesn't really explain Godel's 2nd Incompleteness theorem; it only describes it in a roundabout way. The entire piece could be shortened down to: in math, all false statem…

    Yes, it is the case. In 35 U.S.C. 103: >(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set forth in section 102 of this title, i…

    This bothers me a lot. I use the Start Menu all the time for searching and common programs, and then use the taskbar as a way to manage open applications. Granted, I don't miss it …
