The best article on this matter, by the best journalist on China, John Garnault. http://chinaheritage.net/journal/imminent-fears-immediate-ho...

Panhandle Lake is NOT the most remote place in the Boundary Waters. Not by any stretch. A clay foot algorithm. I’ve had 100 square miles alone to myself in the BWCA for days/weeks …

The sprinkling of intellectual “philosophy articles” in Hacker News have been of outstanding quality.

Yes, I believe you catch the gist of it. It’s a calculation which proves there is indeed a complexity point whereby quantum computing will exceed classical computing ... by proving…

Albert - Ignore the naysayers and keep writing your book and ideas. I have followed your writing for years, and share many of your hunches. As did Aaron Schwartz. It's a bold attem…

Each time the Cruise starts from a stop light, it's too slow. Every time ... cars pass it, and dive into its lane (a typical reaction to slow moving vehicles). Still, nice accompli…

Regreyably, Chiyonofuji - the dominate Yokozuna of the 1990's decade (a lightwieght, strong, judo-esque wrestler and a sublime Japanese gentleman) is not included in the article.

It's actually worse than described in this article. XiJinPing is beyond ruthless, law is meaningless. Even this under-describes the reality.

Four things that actually help - 1) a shower before sleeping. 2) stop using iPad/iPhone and TV two hours before sleep. (I also use orange light bulbs which don't emit blue light ne…

Lawrence Lessig (@Lessig) has yet to comment on Twitter - he clerked under Scalia. Lessig also clerked under Richard Posner, considered by many to be the top legal theorist in Amer…

Awesome, thanks. Bought two for my friends.

My account has various drag-coefficients on it - which "dang" can see ... all of which hamstring my ability to participate (anywhere near) equally on HN.

Dang, the commenter you are fighting with is right. I had my account hell banned by posting "too many articles about Snowden/NSA". PG even modified the HN code to automatically fri…

Le Keqiang is not "some apparatchik" - he's the #2 leader in all of China, and a superlative scientist.

In the early days a joke circulated around Beijing in "China hand" circles as follows: What's the difference between a Hong Kong Chinese and a mainland Chinese? The Hong Kong Chine…

"sharetea" has the right idea. I've studied China for 29 years, speak/read Chinese and Japanese well, and have lived there long stretches. All his statistics are correct. Most impo…

sharetea is closer than the govt figures. Smoking gun is capital flight by Chinese themselves.

The baby carrot is a bacteria nightmare, as are sliced apples. Removing the skin that early is inimical to your stomach's pro-bacterial flora and bad to the entire digestive tract …
