This is spot-on. I feel like I have emerged from a long dream, and now I'm walking around, waiting for everyone else to wake up.

Looks like the creator of this website has a history of using sockpuppets when he posts on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4514376 Strange how people create new accounts just to say positive things about this site...

The amount of lift you would get from such a small amount of helium would be practically negligible compared to the weight of the aircraft. Lighter-than-air craft require an enormous volume of helium/hydrogen - due to the cross-section of

An airfoil (wing) creates lift when air flows from the leading edge to the trailing edge, and the speed of this airflow is one of the factors which determine how much lift is generated. A strong tailwind will interrupt the airflow, induce

I agree that the idea is brilliant, but there is no way I am reactivating my Facebook account to use this. I am sure there are others in the same boat as me. Could there not be an option to receive matches/invitations via email?

"All this stuff about being born on the wrong side is misleading, because the difference between the two sides is not natural resources or something* but the people themselves." Would you care to elaborate on this? In contrast to other seg

Your entire comment reeks of privilege. Many of the people who end up in prison are the homeless people who were getting kicked, robbed and beaten, that you ostensibly care so much about. It is a well-known fact that the poor are severely

Ahhh, this old chestnut. It does not take "faith" to believe that something does not exist. There are literally an infinite number of things that you believe do not exist, simply because there is no evidence that they do. For example, if

Well that was a circumlocutory way of saying, "We got scared by the prospect of negative press and our knee-jerk reaction was to fire someone."

So if I find your use of the word "common" offensive for ANY REASON, I must be accommodated also? What if I am offended by all your words? Do you see where this leads?
