It's an article more or less about his personal experience with Depression and OCD, on his personal blog, where he mentions several times angsty/sad songs were his escape, especially in his teens. It seems silly to pick apart who

I'm sure this is really cool, but autoplay music with no visible volume control, not cool.

Hopefully their robots are a little more helpful and a little less interested in teeth http://i.cdn.turner.com/asfix/repository//8a25c3920ef1568301...

Have to put a plug in here for the Astonishing Legends, podcast they do great work and are pretty damn entertaining. I would highly recommend anyone interested in this and similar events check out their two part series on it http:/&#x

Glad to see all the positive feedback here. I volunteered as a reader/advisor for this first edition and wanted to take this chance to say the experience was great. Joe is very respectful of volunteers time, even those of us who occasi

Interestingly I've never studied French, nor have I spent any significant amount of time hearing it, and I somehow get 100% on basically every word using my horrible childrens cartoon version of a French accent. Huh.

It's worth noting amidst all the debate about whether it's feasible or worthwhile to offer older versions of the game as server options, blizzard has already done this for a long time with Diablo 2. You could (can still) choose to

I live in Austin and i walk/Uber everywhere and largely agree with the author, we need better public transit absolutely. I'm wary of this line of thinking however "Our population is largely young and vigorous. ", a signi

This is amazing, just played Desert Storm: The Air Campaign for a few minutes. The collection of software here is such an important reminder that even seemingly unimportant software has historical context and is worth preserving. The Intern

I think it's way too early to see anything, and that's what you're probably missing ( no offense intended ). This shift towards supporting research and long term capital intensive companies is very recent as far as I understa

I went almost straight into the workforce instead of going to college so I feel like I should be on your side here. However I don't think I would really mind some of my tax dollars going to people thinking about women in society as I r

If this was a real non gimmick thing it would absolutely the thing that got me to buy a VR setup. I can't say I like the drawn out conclusion of nobody ever attending in person though. I wouldn't want to see a world where nobody e

Totally anecdotal but everyone I know at the VP level and above would be largely nonfunctional without their admin assistants. You can make a lot of noise about technology replacing this job but I just don't see it until that technolog

I can't decipher from this article why he doesn't just have a phone and not check it all the time. I carry a shiny new iPhone all the time and I rarely pull it out of my pocket. Maybe once or twice a day to check new messages (whi

I really like the idea here. Interesting how many of the projects are in .net, I wonder if that's just the authors language or if there really are a disproportionately higher number of .net projects well organized for accepting new con

I want to know more about this game board patent: http://nsa-patents.silk.co/page/Game-board-id%3A-D637658 I wonder if they developed it into a full game or prototype at some point. Maybe it was supposed to be used for

Wow, this really shows off how pretty Arabic looks. I can't read a word of it but I really appreciate the aesthetics of the language and it's unfortunate it always gets mucked up in digital format.

If nothing else that was a great pitch for the class at the end. It was actually informative and I felt pretty confident that I could get something out of the course by the time that I got to the end and saw it. A+

I would imagine they did: "Ms. Amin said she and her colleagues had been hired by the show’s producers to add authenticity to the camp depicted in the episode". From my perspective this definitely adds authenticity, seems like the

This is the best hack I've seen on Hacker News in months and it doesn't even involve a computer. Great job to everyone involved in pulling it off, even if the casual viewers didn't notice.

"He’ll be waiting with a spare charger." I always get a tad choked up by stuff like this in articles about people passing. Makes me feel like a sentimental goof, but there are worse things to be I guess.
