About remembering which letters I type to go to which site, I assumed that's just the latest and greatest with browsers, and loved it without noticing that I do. But now that I know it's a Firefox feature, I'll knowingly love it now.
You don't get to call something you said "profound." Others can find it profound, but you can't. It's like a comedian finding themselves funny. It's normally the audience that finds the comedian funny.
Since we're talking health outcomes here, how prudent is it to measure these outcomes based on respondents' self assessments of how healthy they are, as this study does, rather than empirically measuring those outcomes?
I don't follow chess, and I didn't know it's gendered. That doesn't make sense. Why would chess contests be gendered? That's like a gendered photography contest.
What law is he being above? The article says he checked with the US embassy in Oslo before travelling, and they said it was all good. He isn't trying to be above the law, he double checked with the law first.
He makes capital. Capital is a resource that you need to run, say, a software company. Makers don't usually go too far without it. And they, makers, are the ones who put their creations on the market, for good reason.
Hacker News is not a trade union or some other special interest group where the nature of discussion topics is predictable and consistent. It's a group of people who start off with a special interest, tech, but are more broadly interested in life. If you want a forum exclusively about tech, HN is not it.
As to worshipping rich people, anything you consider worth people's time can be similarly dismissed as perfunctory worship of it.
While I also find the comments more compelling than the links themselves, sometimes a thread degenerates and gets marooned on Pointless Island. It helps to be able to identify PI from a distance and hence stay away.
I may be wondering because I'm standing on an atoll of ignorance in a sea of knowledge, but I wonder why the intelligence themselves can't became Tor admins and do away with needing to recruit anyone.
My guess is buyers of mechanical watches know this already. I've never seen a luxury watch advert whose main selling point was the accuracy of the watch.
No, not this one. The one I'm talking about had people talking about the product and how you could use it. The part with the song I'm talking about was a food restaurant setting (as opposed to a bar setting)
Two points. One, my understanding of Paul's basic premise is that it's not the class quality that matters, it's the unicorns that matter. As in, in this game, you're not chasing good classes. You want the one or two superstars, even if they're in a crap class. Secondly, the analysis I'd find useful is one that looks at unicorns using hindsight. How early can you tell them apart? They are the ones we came here for, remember? It's a very hard task, like telling the gender of day-old chicks.
The page won't load for me, it said, because my browser, Opera Mini 4.x, is not supported. "But I'm browsing on a Nokia feature phone," I vehemently object. "No exploits will run. Even ads don't."
Does anyone have a link to the promo video of the original Surface, the table in a restaurant version? It's soundtrack had a song I loved, can't remember the artist, and the version was different from the studio version.
