I dislike TSA as much as the next casual traveller, but why are they such a bugbear for HN?

Seeing both would be nice - something along the lines of: "Original Title [A brief description if the original title is insufficiently detailed]"

webOS was my first introduction to mobile computing so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Didn't some of the members of the webOS team join the Android team after HP sh…

There was a similar story in Texas: https://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/jp/former-u-of-texas-stud...

Yeah, you're right. I was responding to the general problem of finding stuff in your inbox as restated by others - not the suggestion of self-destructing email. Sorry I was unclear…

If you help doctors, researchers, and others working on life-threatening problems get relevant information they need faster, then you are indirectly helping with these efforts. Not…

It's worth keeping in mind that the people you grew up studying are invariably selected/memorable for their contributions and that it's very hard to identify the same people in you…

Agree with this 100% - we need to get past the consumer-oriented "dream school" thinking.

You're right, I should be more clear. What I meant by that is that there's no clear explicit reason why he's interested in investment banking rather than marketing, consulting, pub…

I wouldn't say it's a great cover letter - it's pretty generic and could easily be tweaked slightly for any job/industry. Also it's sort of sad that he has to debase his university…

Thanks for answering, I appreciate it. I'm curious how this data is then used by the stores. The only example I can think of is optimizing store layout based on neighborhood demogr…

Hmm...maybe cheating on exams?

I would recommend amending the title - it's a little vague, and led me to expect research papers about social media, not research papers shared via social media.

How so?

As far as I can tell, some Android devices also save your photos (with filters) in a separate album, so you may not need to download them from Instagram directly.

Source? I'm pretty sure the US abolished "people as property" a while back.

I don't disagree with you starting from the third sentence, but those first two are remarkably self-congratulatory. It's not clear how being a CS type who follows startups leads yo…

Yes, but (sorry to be immature) maybe register a different TLD so the product name doesn't sound so much like diarrhea?

The police don't even have to go that far - the "expert witness" was on their staff.

There's a site called scripted.com, but I'm not sure if the profiles are public and shared - it seems like a direct hiring clearinghouse.

One of the firms behind the site calls it "a design provocation intended to spark a reaction and fuel a conversation" on their Tumblr. So I guess you're supposed to react and start…
