es20641on Misconceptions about evolution

I was just thinking this when I read your comment. It is probably the largest thing that is holding me to my faith in an a God.

Whether or not evolution is true, it explains _how_ our world was created, but not why.

es20641on Misconceptions about evolution

As someone who believes in both an intelligent designer creating the world, and micro (but not macro) evolution, I am extremely interested in reading this.

I just thought I would let you know :)

Thanks for posting this, I've been searching for a great not app for quite a while.

es20641on Show HN: Like Airbnb but for food

"I'm sure if AirBnB was first posted here they'd get back 50 reasons why it can't work"

Absolutely this. It's a great site and a great idea. There are hundreds of reasons NOT to do something, but that doesn't always mean you shouldn't try.

es20641on GPGTools – OpenPGP Tools for Apple OS X

I've never used PGP or GPG before, is this something that I should be using?

es20641on Linux is not about choice (2008)

I don't really follow this argument.

"... because there are so many kinds of cars you can buy that cars are about choice."

The "Choice" part of Linux doesn't come into play so much when you are "shopping for a distro", it's the fact that if there is something you don't like the spoiler on your distro, you can switch to another. Heck, you can even build the distro from the ground up and choose EVERYTHING in it.

es20641on American Constitution on GitHub

This isn't the full constitution, only the bill of rights.

I've also seen a couple U.S. constitution projects on github that either have the actual (whole) constitution, or offer up a way to "modify" it through github to develop a "better" constitution.

es20641on Ask HN: How did you make your first $10,000?

I grew up in a small farming community in Indiana and from 8th grade on I worked summers and after school on a Dairy farm.

I think I got paid $9/hour or something like that, but I worked so many hours that I had a decent amount saved up after a while.

The work was really hard, and that's what made me decide to go to college for Computer Science. I respect people who can do that work their whole life, but it is rough.

es20641on Canadian camouflage company claims to have created perfect invisibility cloak

I'm calling bunk on this one.

In this picture they have someone underneath the 'invisibility blanket' which they claim bends light around the person being concealed. How would the invisibility shield know what is beneath the person if the person is laying on the ground?

es20641on Linux code search

This is AWESOME!

es20641on Smart people don't think others are stupid

I recently graduated from college and found a job. My manager is one of those people who is a brilliant programmer but doesn't help the greenhorns like me adapt to the working world.

I believe I have potential to be a great programmer, but it's difficult when you're being told your code is "all sorts of wrong."

This was exactly what I needed to read right now. Thank you for posting it.
