Don't want to prompt unneccesary debate, but her understanding of Gandhi and his assessment of the Gita is incomplete. Gandhi has written explicitly about (what she calls) the "war…

Maybe I am missing out potential applications but I can't understand why I would like to search the entire web with a regex pattern? Find all strings that could be SSNs?

Why is this on HN?

I disabled ABP on the thecupcakeblog but I still don't see any ads.

No.

Incorrect. Hindi and English are the two official languages. There is no "national language", officially.

I had the same thought, except this would be a parody of /g/ as well given how much Model M's are popular there.

For almost all of my queries, this is just giving me the list of "categories" on the corresponding wikipedia page, leaving out the wiki-specific ones such as " Articles with Open D…

I was hesitant to share this video[1] on HN, but I came upon this in my research when the same thing happened to me. [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccxiwu4MaJs Edit: NSFW- lang…

He mentions both in the youtube pitch.

I love your game. I discovered it on a forum mid-2012 and used it to break into and get comfortable with an unprinted happy hacking keyboard. Nice choice of music too, I usually tu…

Thanks.

My voting behavior on HN is very different from other websites. Since the saved stories and upvotes are the same, and upvotes cannot be taken back, I use the upvote as a "save stor…

I think, and I am not an expert by far, that this just shows what the market value of those art pieces are when removed from their context. You won't pay more than $30-60 for it un…

Although I agree with you that the premise of their defense is rather nonsensical, in this particular case (Novartis/Glivec) it was no socialistic move of policy but rather a prude…

This is what I find surprising about security checks, don't quite understand. When I entered Israel I was out hailing a cab within minutes of debarking my flight. When I was leavin…

As someone who has had a harrowing experience at an Israeli airport, I would dispute the claim that they are highly trained or even intelligent. I don't even want to recount my exp…

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "Golden Minority?"

Won't be able to attend this time. I hope such meetups are organized more often.

Where did you get the district map of India? I know jvectormap that has the states[1] but it excludes the areas our government claims but does not administer (aksai chin, pok) whic…

I share your sentiment, although I did not dislike them originally. In their native version they were simple four paneled MS paint comics. Since you had three panes to preamble the…

While I don't agree with the parent comment, arguing about 'Father of X' is bound to be futile, but I disagree with you. Gandhi's techniques are generalizable to some extent. Here'…

It just might be me, but I always prefer multiple keys to pressing a dead key . After some time, my short finger cannot take it. For eg, I always use yy instead of Y.
