Even if, medically and biologically, this diet is compatible with humans, do people really want to give up eating food for taste? The "spice of life" in a literal sense.

I thought this was common knowledge. All those reports that Bush was said to have been supplied with prior to 9/11, even days before. It's no surprise that spying is ongoing. The sheer scale of the surveillance is what really irks

This implies that the petitions that don't follow the provisions are actually useful.

TL;DR: If the CAs are compromised, the protocols they use are compromised.

Doesn't Yahoo power the weather app, making that point meaningless? Also, how does this make these companies "losers"? Competition is good for business, and the businesses that are in place and have current user bases will wi

Seems BS to me. Looks just like their "performance" pages for the Macbook Pro on the Apple website.

"Can't innovate anymore, my ass". Uh... what exactly is being "innovated" here?

"Microsoft cannot provide those guarantees. Neither can any other company." The most telling and most important line in the article. Recent days have made it abundantly clear that anyone under US jurisdiction is susceptible to scr

Because complaining on the Internet is way easier than doing something proactive. Less dangerous, too.

The Wikipedia ideals of having open, unbiased, and free access to information and being able to freely collaborate and edit articles directly conflict. If editing is "free", so too is slander and misinformation. Unfortunately, I have no goo

I wasn't aware people actually purchased Mac Pros with great regularity. I don't know of a single person who owns one. The lack of customization, absurd cost, and plethora of superior competitors seems to discourage most people from this pa

This always bothers me when I'm interviewing. I've gotten the "better suited candidate" as well as the "lack of experience" and "not right at this time" excuses. How does that help me in any way as a job seeker? I am, in some way, "not righ

Taking a bold dive into the depths of despair that is HN's Microsoft-friendly sub-community. Kudos, good sir, I applaud you!

Yes, the US gets away with human rights atrocities, and yes, Manning should not be tortured. However, one can't ignore the fact that he released US government secrets to a non-government entity. That is treason. Manning will receive some so

The reactions stop at 56 because Iron has the highest binding energy of any element, which the author doesn't mention. Even under the extreme conditions of stellar nuclear fusion, the binding energy cannot be overcome past this point. Howev

Typical overzealous and incorrect analysis. Facebook may have failed for the author, but Facebook is not a failure. Its user base, advertising base and page traffic paint quite the opposite picture. Also, "people can message each other, pos

The example for transport encoding doesn't seem all the more simplified than things as they currently stand. Sure, the field names are a little shorter and easier to read, but there's still a lot of (necessary) complexity in that encoding.

Predictable enough, but who knows.

Very cool! I wonder if everything holds about the same way for the new 'L-shaped' connectors?

The LAPD has (rightfully) gotten a bad rap lately, but what do you expect when you have a realistic, armed, life-size military figure facing outward toward the street...

Damn, I thought yoga was supposed to help you calm down and chill out. I did really like the author's parallelisms to entrepreneurship, though.

If it gathers light in the infrared spectrum, how is noise eliminated? Ambient room temperature is an infrared-peak blackbody. I'd like to see more on the filtering that has to go into images taken with such a sensor.

This is a hilariously fantastic response to the original article. The author does a great job of cutting through the self-congratulatory bullshit of the original post while simultaneously giving an accurate picture on the current climate in

This isn't uniformly true, though. The original Xbox was, for all intents and purposes, and amazing product launch. Same with the Kinect, Office 2003, Windows XP, etc. This models seems to hold more truth in recent years, however. I can't c

Also unsettling is how they say "all of Europe" is included. There is absolutely no way that chunk labeled "Eastern Europe" contains Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. It's large enough to maybe represent just the Ukraine.

Yep, just noticed. I clicked on that link originally, but it didn't load for some reason.
