The calculus behind this benefiting the user likely involves the belief that most artists are going to cave on the issue.

To me this goes both ways. If there is a legitimate mission for the NSA to accomplish, then perhaps they should make sure at all times to act in a way that is deserving of the public's trust. The persistent confusion you mention is not

Even with a ship capable of overcoming the gravity wells present in the movie, it would likely still make sense to launch from Earth with boosters/staging to increase the amount of fuel/energy available to the ship for the rest of

I concur, as strongly as I can, with this. This book gave me sight in a lot of areas I in which I was previously blind. Also, I couldn't put it down. I was high on insight the entire time I read it. I should point out, though, that whi

I think personal privacy is a significant issue, but I also think this is a bad idea, and not even remotely workable.

For the establishment, when it comes to secular vs. theocratic regimes, the the key factor is not whether the regime is secular/theocratic or really any other type. The key factor is how is this or that regime going to help get cheap e

You should maybe consider tracking which images are more likely to lead to a correct curtain selection. Then run an additional survey where subjects rank the same set of photos for hottness/arousal level, and see if there is a correlation.

I can't offer technical proof, but the snowball method saved me. Psychologically, getting rid of the easier debts wasn't the biggest factor though. The increased cash flow from the lack of those payments allowed me to make payments on large

As I write this the above comment is 31 points! Please don't view this as a complaint, and to eof especially, I'm not saying the comment isn't worth that value. It just seems like an anomaly to me. Is it because everyone wants to know what

I wish the author hadn't decided to use Moore's Law as a standard to measure the price against. It takes away from the point, or maybe is the wrong point entirely. I do feel prices are higher than they need to be for the consumer, and I ver

I think it's possible that the widespread use of non-lethal weapons could result in greater attrocities than the use of lethal weapons on the macro-level. It may not always be aparent, but in general, there is human restraint against killin

Some government workers have great authority to impose things on people, but I don't know if I'd agree that it's typical.

I'm sure with a little creativity one could figure something out. Figuring that out would certainly be easier than figuring out the order to put the cards in ;) Anyway, this is less about actually doing it and more about the coolness factor

Could go even further with this: maximize the the number of hands the dealer should win while also maximizing the number of hands the oppenent will likely think they should win to keep the pot big! Now I'm just getting crazy...

I was thinking the same thing, a lot of those winning hands are hands that shouldn't win in actual gameplay. It'd be neat to see an algorithm that maximizes the hands that the dealer not only wins, but should win, for small numbers of p

I will do just that. First glance at the issue tracker gives me the impression that most of it's over my head, but this post has me inspired: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1048202 . Time to learn! Thank you!

I don't like the idea of doing this, but as others have pointed out, there are many many submissions that never make the front page, and in many cases I don't believe it's because they lack merit. I've seen times where the same information
