It seems like a bit of a Ship of Theseus. Even at this point I wonder how much of what you see of his face can be said to be 'original'. But still people visit, as if Lenin is still there.

In business terms, you could consider giving a cut to the modders a marketing expense (you might sell more because the mods increase the value of your game, perhaps?). But you can also consider it as providing a platform that modders exploi

Mercury actually concentrates into little beads on cinnabar ore, and is not very reactive. I can imagine drops of it surviving for a few thousands years.

I'm sorry to say this, but this is extremely fishy and I hope it is all hypothetical. If it's not hypothetical you've just confessed to tax fraud. Either way, it's bad advice.

Thank you! And I can't help but notice a couple more interesting titles in that directory: http://worrydream.com/refs/

Can someone who already watched this comment? Anything particularly great about it?

I like it! I scroll through until I find an interesting picture, then read the part of the text that goes with it. In the end I read most-but-not-all of the article, in a haphazard sequence.

> There's a lot of valid points in Gemalto's report, and it seems dishonest to write it off so pettily. I agree they have valid points that are worth setting the record straight on. But conveniently for Gemalto they distract fr

Whew, that was quick wasn't it! Four to five years after the hacks happened, Gemalto says it was all not so bad, they really really checked this time and they have super duper server logs they grepped twice to be sure.

Technology is not exactly known to be stagnant. What is not practical now could be in just a few years. For high value targets, all bets are off anyway. Some nation states have virtually unlimited resources they can call on.

Tried it with my own prescription (-3.75 and -3.25 dioptre) and I'd say the result is very exaggerated. Especially considering my actual eyesight is worse than my prescription. How does it create a single image from two different eyes,

It all seems rather desperate to me and unimaginative (children will love climbing over it!). This is not a structural way of disposing of these blades, it's a public relations effort. For me, at least, it's not working.

"AIUI"? What's that now? Ok, googled it, wait for it... "As I understand it". Whew!

Riiiiight, well, if you got from my comments that I don't do that, then I guess I'm bad at explaining myself.

Perhaps they know more than we do. Perhaps it's mostly business guests that are likely to return, and they don't pay for WIFI themselves. Possibly tourists are more sensitive to price and more likely to book with the competition i

I have said as much to my wife, but my children are too young to really understand. Besides, it's meant to be a consolation to them when I'm no longer around.

I should write a note for my wife and children in case an accident happens, so I can express to them how happy a life I've had with them, even if I died before realizing my dreams.

I've had this with orders on Amazon in the past year or so, though every time in my favor. I mean, it's a nice surprise to end up paying 10% to 15% less than your were ready for, but I am always puzzled WHY exactly I have been cho

I'm interested in the study of complex issues like these (more from a math point of view than a political one) - how to optimize for the right choice, given that each choice has a bunch of non-overlapping side effects. But I don't

Is hardware (motherboard, CPU, memory) that good nowadays that one can expect it to last 30 years. I don't think it's designed with that kind of lifetime in mind.

Ha, strange, I submitted this yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9047015 It's a form of arbitrage, I suppose, if not coincidence.

A lot of countries have provisions in their laws that make breaking DRM legal 'for the purpose of interoperability'. E.g. http://www.twobirds.com/en/news/articles/2012/decompilation-...

Hey that's new, or perhaps I didn't see it before, but in that case I'm not the only one. It doesn't make any difference though. The first thing displayed is a login screen, and I'm not about to create a login just

They're cardboard albums... What does one call this, outsider art (which would fit since one of the albums is called 'The Outsiders are Back')?

No, there is no way around it. It's a verrrry annoying strategy and I'm not sure it's worth the aggravation it causes to people like me with only a casual interest in pinterest.

Trademark is cleverly entwined into this as well. Since Mickey is Disney's trademark mascot, the law is in favor of protecting any work containing Mickey ad infinitum.
