The shooters in the San Bernadino massacre were Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik. IMHO it's important to understand their background and motivations. Know your enemy.

The study did look at build quality. "In terms of construction scores (from 1 to 10 where 10 represents a perfectly built trolley), men averaged 8.9 with instructions, 7.6 without; the women averaged 7.5 with, and 5.7 without."

I find that 'excess mental activity' blocks peak-performance when coding. Excess mental activity can be described as 'aversions/judgements/fears' about the work to be done - self-talk like "this looks har

The clock boy incident was a clever hoax. Ahmed and his family may not be great engineers, but showed themselves masters of our media and legal system.

TLDR; Muslims serve in Western Armies, so shut your pie hole about Muslim terror attacks in Mali, Paris, Sinai, Boston, London, Madrid, Bali, New York, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Some refugees do participate in terrorism! Paris attackers had links to Syria. Tsarnaev brothers had links to Chechnya. Not worth the risk.

Absolutely serious that elements of the refugee population belong to groups that engage in torture/beheading/rape/enslavement. We have no idea how to tell the good from the bad. Just takes a small number of radicals to caus

Post WW2 refugees didn't have elements that were beheading, torturing, killing and enslaving. Huge difference.

Losing your job and access to employment opportunities is a very common and very effective form of censorship.

Think censorship is over? Express opposition to feminists/muslims/blacks/gays/multiculturism/drugs etc. and watch the fireworks. Neo-puritan morals police are stronger than ever.

A small step to remove the fetters of intolerance. But if legalizing small amounts is good, then legalizing large amounts is better. Nobody has the right to limit my ability to take large amounts of drugs - that's my personal busines

Drug industry on the march! Will be interesting to see where drug use tops-out as more states legalize and we see the emergence of real marketing and consumer education from the drug suppliers.

Very interesting - might be a great way to setup a sandbox for untrusted code. On a related note: there is also the nerves project for embedded Erlang/Elixir - http://nerves-project.org/

It's great to see articles on HN that help to familiarize and normalize drug use. We know that the war on drugs doesn't work, and the stigmatize / demonize approach is so busted. After reading many articles you learn that t
