Excellent. Are short-term (1-3 month) leases available? What precautions do you take to stay safe?

Thanks for the details. This is getting a bit off-topic, but can you describe how a foreigner should go about finding a place to live in Central America? Did you just fly there and look for "For Rent" signs or did you line something up be

Thanks for the reality check. I threw this up on a whim after skimming this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1745133 . It was fun, regardless, because I suspected I was competing with others to get it done first. I spent abou

I do not dismiss this research: it is amazing. But, I also think you are underestimating the skill and sophistication of RC helicopter hobbyists. There are international competitions involving very complex, but well-defined and precise man

"... then in the long run half of the time you will hit on the right answer" So the right answer would be B, but you only have 25% chance of choosing that ... infinite loop.

Yes - this still reveals that Facebook is tracking users' activity on third party sites without express permission.

The unsettling fact remains: Facebook is tracking users' activity on third party sites without express permission (though perhaps it's in the TOS; I'm not sure). And evidently, they're somewhat incompetent at hiding that information.

An event that trigged it for me: visiting break.com (after previously logging into facebook) resulted in a Break application being added without consent.

I'd say it's not a reminder for many; it's news . I've always been very careful with my info on Facebook, but I never considered how easily they could invade my privacy when I'm not even on their site.

It would be pretty simple (and much cheaper) to build one. (This is hacker news, no?)

This is a reasonable comment. I'm further surprised to see you being down-voted.

Hacker News is not a destination. It is an excellent resource ... Sure, but I want a better resource. I'm not looking to spend more time here. I'm looking to see all of the good content while spending less time here.

I don't want to read every article either. But if there was a story last week that got 300+ points and is no longer on the website, I want to be able to find it.
