Check how long I've been here. Not only did I know all of that, but it's the entire reason why I left a reply, and why I've stayed on the site. The goal was to characterize the problem for you in a way that you may not have

There was a woman who became obese following a transplant of gut flora. Recall how much the idea of evolution bothers some people. Are you sure this isn't a similar type of situation? We seem to have evidence that obesity isn't a

It would be good to read the study's paper. Studies often don't reach any explicit conclusions, which is one of the important features of the scientific process. Other people make inferences that aren't supported by the act

Isn't there anything more interesting to say? Resentment isn't too useful. I watched someone carry a wheelchair down the escalator a few weeks ago. No one could get past them, since the owner of the wheelchair was clinging to th

It's worth trying, but it probably won't work. The bitterness in this thread can't be countered with social pressure, and you can't ban people for appearing disingenuous. They believe what they're writing. These c

May I ask how much money in total you personally netted from making Bitcoinica? I'm intensely curious, but I'd understand if you'd prefer not to tell.

Hey, thank you for the critique. It's a rare gift to find someone who's willing to disagree + solid reasoning + references to existing work. Thank you. In a later post, you mentioned mapping teeth with a toothbrush. That's not a trivial th

Using Kickstarter is a good idea, but I'm struggling with the moral implications of it. The chance that I'll succeed is inherently small, and I'd feel absolutely awful if that $1M wound up not resulting in some useful contribution. Still,

What breaks my heart is that this kind of tragedy is avoidable. He was only 51; died of colon cancer. All we need is to design a wearable device which continuously monitors your body for changes that correlate with "might be developing ca

Heh heh. You may have just found a fatal flaw. On the other hand, is "do" the only reserved keyword which matters? Then it might be okay to special case that one instance as well. There is no doubt that my approach is the wrong approach

The "prior character blacklist" is now: & | + - * ? : % = ( [ { , Currently hunting for more problems, and a more elegant solution... Offtopic, the reason I did this JSMin fork was just to challenge myself, not to make a politica

Fixed. Thanks so much! I added % and = to the blacklist. I'm searching for a fundamentally elegant solution. My current one is more of a kludge... though, if it fixes all cases and doesn't introduce problems, then maybe it's worth a few

I have a simple fix. Standby. EDIT: Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. Let me know if you find anything else.

Hey all, Mr. Crockford has recently refused to fix JSMin ( https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/3057 ). Thus, I've fixed it. You can get the updated code from https://github.com/shawnpresser/JSMin/blob/master/jsmin.c The fix was

Nobody is calling him a liar. Whalliburton directly called him a liar. Those without inside information may not know what is true and what is not true. Then email him. There's really no way anyone can say "everything michaelochurch say

I can't believe that HN is blatantly calling you liar. I can't believe you're calmly responding to it. Guys, whether or not someone might or might not be lying about their own personal life is strictly their business, and not yours -- a

Keep in mind: the demo matters less than the way you present yourself (confidence + intelligence).

I exploited this about 5 years ago. (I think it was called "Startup News" back then, though!) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27615 I think you need to set "showdead" in your profile to see this. It got killed pretty quickly, but nett

Having having one's heart slowed to sub-40bpm via a few taps on a screen is...odd. Could you describe in detail what that experience was like? That's incredible.

Sorry, could you expand on that? It sounds interesting, but I don't understand the logic.

Sorry about that. I felt like a wet blanket asking about the consequences of disaster when this seems like a time for celebration, so I deleted my question. Thank you for the time you spent crafting such a thoroughly amazing answer. I hope

It seems like there's no way for the majority of people to care. I wish I could explain this better, but... I've been living in the Midwest area for the past few years. The day-to-day lives of the people here are just so incredibly diffe

Whoa, that's bizarre: http://screencast.com/t/TA5fF8CDf3 And look at the timestamp on #171618: http://screencast.com/t/Kzzwiyi9Mz ... The timestamp reads "21:35:01". But the timestamp of the previous block is "21:35:35". So it's "in

This is my rough understanding: As you're aware, Bitcoin uses certain cryptographic guarantees in order to publish a public and immutable "block chain", which is essentially a public list of all Bitcoin transactions since the beginning of t

So how much would it cost to "frame" someone else's website for SEO to get them unfairly banned from Google? I'd never do it; it's just an interesting question.
