I wonder if there's any documentation of great panics around these. I'd imagine the people of the time would think this was some sort of negative sign from their sun god (Horus) and madly prostrate or panic. I think it'd be a

Agreed; the point of the game is to make you feel like a God. Sid Meier gave a talk at the GDC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtzCLd93SyU In it he explained how Civilization tested random negative events that could shape

They'll probably always need some human around for liability reasons. That is unless the robot bartender is going to add some sort of breathalyzer component to see if people have had too much. Also unless it's a club it likely wou

There's also the self employment tax to consider for contractors working for themselves in the US. Employers pay 7.65% and you pay 7.65%. If you're on your own in addition to the income tax you have to pay you also need to pay the

The problem isn't that I think my comments won't be endorsed. It's more I'll self censor my comments that I think would be less popular because I'd be afraid if I'm censored I wouldn't have a chance to joi

Since this will probably be the last time a comment of mine appears in HN due to the new system I figured I'd give my take on it. I'm someone who doesn't join in threads pretty often; I'll chime in if I find the topic to

I'm on some Walmart T-Mobile plan. I heard about the plan after getting my Nexus 4 so went to a local T-Mobile store and asked them if they could give it to me as a new customer and they did. $30 monthly, 100 minutes, unlimited texts,

It really depends on what facet of business you think she'd be interested in. To be honest I think better than any specific business resource out there would be to just get her on the path to building the core skills she'll use later on in

This is only partly related but just a heads up some courts have found TOS agreements illusionary in the past for including clauses that mention they can be altered at any time without the user's consent. Some courts may throw out the claus

Her lack of trust with their HR department worries me more than any silly restriction on the candidates they hire. I mean if she's going to sit around and personally review every single person that comes to apply at Yahoo then, yeah, she be

Yeah I use Amazon Prime for all of my renting as well... It's very easy to get the movies on my xbox, they cost about half as much as they would on itunes to rent, and they have a much better selection of movies I can see than Netflix since

Many users reuse passwords across their web presence. So there's the chance of gaining access to other accounts as a result of the data leak... such as their bank accounts, etc.

Good luck guys. I just made it to level 8 this morning and haven't a clue where to really begin with it. It's definitely a lot of fun and has been an interesting journey for sure. Love little games like this.

It looks like those aren't limited to what hacker news users have mentioned but the web in general. If you just do a normal search for programming books the same exact list in the same order appears. Still a cool feature if you want the mos

I completely agree with the Railscasts mention -- I use it and asciicasts ( http://asciicasts.com/ ) which is the text version quite often. The pro membership pays for itself back right away as you have access to the whole collection of pro

I think there may be some confusion. The code in question is a configuration option for a third-party jquery plugin. There may be better plugins which expose their configuration options differently but I personally think that the benefits o

For me, it depends; I'd first take a step back and think about my target market. I'd think about whether or not the market you're trying to make this product for both sees the problems you're addressing as problems (or can be convinced to)

You should take a look at Railscasts. Given what you're looking to do: Geocoding gem: http://railscasts.com/episodes/273-geocoder Devise gem: http://railscasts.com/episodes/209-devise-revised The former uses the google maps api to handl

I really love the idea. Personally I would never use a service like this for anything that needs to be secure. That's nothing against you more my own paranoia and honestly if it was some password to decrypt my files I'd just give it in a le
