Also, does one get to keep some of those $65mm (without risking jail, that is)?

The second image that appeared was a bit NSFW.

Did the meeting have any positive outcomes?

I don't understand: couldn't they just make the results less accurate (say, ten possible values) so that it can still be used to tell if the battery is going down but not to identify users?

All vertebrates have that, IIRC.

Video chats are common, but actual eye contact is currently impossible: you either look at the other person's eyes, and thus you appear to be looking off, or you look at the camera, and then they see you looking at them but you aren&#x

Well, unless apps authors are writing their HTTPS clients from scratch, I suppose major mobile OSes provided HTTP client API functions do actually check certificates?

Sure, and if we hear a very distinct voice singing and/or guitar or bass playing, we may identify Roger Waters. If we hear footsteps? Probably not Roger Waters.

You are right, it's a perfectly valid hypothesis, but it is an almost useless one, for at least two reasons. * It is improbable. Say I hear what appears to be a human being, but whom I cannot identify. It may be Roger Waters, there&#x2

Ereaders usually show a percentage and either an estimate page number or (kindle) some arcane fraction. For me, seeing it go from 1% to 2% was a lot encouraging.

After the first ~300 pages, you also finally start getting endnotes that explain the obscure terms used so far, like TP, EWD, etc.

Thinking about that, how easier would it be to just say: alas, we cannot bring cameras because reasons...

It really doesn't matter what Verizon believes about who did the breach. Say you want to buy my car, but then it gets destroyed, and I say Superman did it. Whether you believe me or not, it doesn't matter, you still won't buy

How much CO2 does a square meter of this remove from the atmosphere compared to a square meter of the most efficient plants?

Let me try to be more clear: I make two opposite hypotheses: two alleles versus many alleles. The two alleles hypothesis would imply little variability among families, many alleles would imply much variability inside families. Where is my l

Yes, poverty is a problem, more so the seeming fact that people yet to be born is condemned to poverty.

Genetics do not work that way. The problem is that there is too little variation inside families and too much among families. Let's say that there are exactly two alleles: successful and not successful. So, successful people pairs with

HN is not just for commenting, it is also for reading other people's submissions and comments. So, granted, it's better not to write comments without reading the article first, but why should that mean that people who have read th

If he had, would the points he made be stronger or weaker? Do meditation today improve the reliability of past studies conducted by other people?

I first read about using sterile male mosquitoes more than twenty years ago (there was no mention of the bacteria, so I don't know if a different technique was proposed); how comes this is news now? Or is it that this has been proposed

Everything you say is correct; I wonder if there's a way to tell how many well managed companies are there and how many poorly managed ones.

When it comes to business owners, rationality is overrated. I've seen a lot of companies that are perfectly happy hiring a less competent dev that accepts 20% less, and takes more than twice the time to do the work.
