I was waiting for the new spaghetti cowboys to arrive. Good luck guys, but keep in mind that a 1000 cores can do a lot more damage than 3 people can fix.

Honest question because I just don't know: Is Reddit shielded by Section 230 for comments made by moderators? I would say moderation is by definition editorial, but I have learned …

[edited] Can someone explain what d(3)=(|x|^3+|y|^3)^(1/3) would actually mean as the blog seems to suggest something more profound than the below? If d=|x|+abs|y} is moving in 2 d…

>While the post is great, terrifying, and seems to contain only true and verifiable information, I’m not sure what we expect. Well we expect people and corporations to fix a proble…

I am always looking for the interesting in computer design as most of what we work with is bland. The reviewer is a fanboy. Okay, that happens. He is the one claiming it to be func…

My favorite (almost) obscene quote I found reviewing code, although I never could find the back story to it: "Which idiot wrote this crap? You did! Which idiot hired me?" I think t…

Let's see: Modern art starts somewhere around 1860 until 1970's. The term modern art was presumably first used in writing in the 1890's for French painters Coubert and Manet.The CI…

It sure sounds like we have the same problem. For me however there are a few things I have learnt: 1. There is nothing (medically) wrong with you. Although I should own a t-shirt s…

Well my suggestion would be to be confident and positive. Confident that your issue/ cause/subject is important and that there are enough other people sharing that believe in the f…

Nothing in this article is specifically related to forum posts. This stuff can be found within any gathering of people and most have been described way earlier than the internet, a…

It sounds like a tough problem that you are not going to resolve before you leave. First realise that there won't be a lot to do when you get back. They are not that quick as you s…

I'm a solo entrepreneur and have been for 20 years. Can I be trusted: Yes. Is that obvious to prospective clients? Not at all. So the question is how are you going to limit the ris…

What I don't understand is that although there are a lot of non-profits in the US that are willing to help in these kinds of cases. Non of them ever tried or suggested going after …

Sorry, I respectfully disagree. Censorship is someone else preventing you from saying something you want to say. Self censorship (as something you want to say but do not because of…

Try looking up Noma, Copenhagen the best restaurant in the world (presumably). It then shows locations of other restaurants in the area. Aren't those ads? As what is reasonably exp…

It would be indeed a great feature if that was something only shared between you and your wife. Alas you get a lot of extras to go with it: An algorithm decides that you then must …

Expecting people to make meaningful even informed comments in an arena that is in no way suitable to the information your sending is not a failure of the receivers or the commenter…

It seems like you are trying to make a point here, but I cannot figure out what the point is.

Sorry, there seems to be a disconnect here. Yes the difference between back stage and front stage is a gray-scale. However that was not my point: Making selfies is an act of front …

The OP and apparently the book following Goffman make a huge leap in stating that selfies somehow give insight in a persons back stage behavior as opposed to front stage behavior. …

I keep reading these comments on HN of people trying to guess on what the reason is Apple, Google or who else is terminating accounts, apps, videos or monetizing opportunities. Usu…

Hold on: The claim is this: > "Using a popular family hatchback running on brand new, correctly inflated tyres, we found that the car emitted 5.8 grams per kilometer of particles."…

I think it is an interesting idea that needs some further exploration. I do see some problems with it that were not addressed. The way the demos are setup are by definition an NP!=…

The OP was invited to the partner program by Quora who actually thought a financial incentive was a good way to get quality answers. You seem to have moral objects to that, but bot…

Those figures are not as good as you seem to suggest. First of all. Tesla counts the number of miles for every Tesla being involved in an accident. The other figure you quote is fo…
