I did the native version of this after someone mentioned it in one of the general articles on phone addiction that have been making their rounds on HN since the start of the year. …

It is not scifi, but I think some mention of Tuck Everlasting should be made. The book was really important to my understanding of death when I was growing up. Unfortunately it loo…

I'm not sure if your counter example holds up. Wikipedia indicates that Edward Gibbon wrote way more than just The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire [1]. And thos…

Can we add a unit to the title here on HN? The only reason I clicked through was to see what unit the 25M was in. 25 million grams? 25 million milligrams? 25 million rupees? (it's …

If your rent is more than 30% of your income and you are between the ages of 25 and 34, you are normal (46% of the renting population). Even at above 50% your rent to income ratio …

I'm not the parent, but the new Pokemon game has been amazing for me. I'm 28 and single though. So obviously the target market. I've done more walking since the game came out than …

I think the majority of the Impossible Project's marketing is already aimed at the fine art community and instant photography enthusiasts. Many people in those groups had been spen…

Not a film, but I'd say we're pretty much there in video games with roles like the one Ellen Page had in Beyond: Two Souls. Note that she even explored legal action against the gam…

> Shouldn't matter as long as your dwelling is properly insulated. I realize that neither of us are citing sources, but I'm pretty sure you are wrong about this. I don't want to sp…

I think a lot more goes into making urban life better for the environment than just cars. Off the top of my head I would expect the following to contribute: Suburban heating and co…

I think they meant that it takes the users a long time to learn to be cynical.

I was born in 1987 and I didn't think of myself as a millenial until someone told me a month ago what the definition was. I'm still not sure if I agree that my behavior matches up …

>> Researchers say they’re intrigued that millennials’ aversion to driving and owning a car has endured even since the recession ended. This is a direct response to the above quote…

I have a windows laptop that I use 2 or 3 times a week and sometimes I have 10 updates pending (2 of which fail repeatedly until I uninstall them and re-download them). This is a h…

Maybe it depends on who builds your devices, but I have had several usb prongs break off on me even when I was careful. This happened on one desktop and several gaming consoles.

I'm unsure how your response indicates that obesity is a self-control problem. Participating in a camp for however long and dramatically changing food intake is bound to create res…

I believe in many cases it is well documented that obesity isn't caused by a lack of self-control. However that knowledge is simply not accepted by the general population. I would …

This is an excellent read! It is also included in Gibson's collection of non fiction writing - Distrust That Particular Flavor, which I highly recommend.

Thanks! I will give it a try!

Did you use any guides or anything specific to get started on pixel art in gimp? If not, any advice?

Ah yes. I can't think of the last time I was in a house that had doors to the kitchen that close.

Interesting! What should be changed about American kitchen design to fix this problem? Is it possible to fix this issue without rebuilding the entire house?

I guess I made a couple of assumptions when I wrote my comment. 1) I thought a lot of people wouldn't know the difference. 2) I guessed that royal jelly would be host to a similar …

I'm not at the top of comments list am I? I agree that there are definitely more important take aways from this article. However, I felt that it would be worth my while to write th…
