And this is why you should have a gun in your home, folks!

Based on the urban layout and population distribution within the city, yes, those are two distinct regions.

Please, people: DO NOT ALLOW THE AUTHORITIES FREE ACCESS TO YOUR DEVICES TO PROVE INNOCENCE!

Conceding to law enforcement this way only motivates them to promote policy that allows for further rights violations.

To wrap the varied values of an area up into a single word - 'importance' - is a gross oversimplification to the extent that it can even be considered incorrect.

It is, however, and undeniably, expensive.

Fun fact: San Francisco is one of the few places where it's cheaper to live near the ocean, than it is to live inland!

That is, 'coastal' is irrelevant to your point.

You used the word 'important' for 'expensive'. That, in my opinion, is a fallacy.

It is expensive. That's different from important.

Yes, because you should get everything for free.

Well, carry on, then!

As much as I also hate Gawker, I don't see the point of masking clicks to them. If you truly don't give a shit about them: don't consume their content, nor promote them to others.

Wow, WTF.

UPS missed a few packages in an insanely demanding crunch time, and you feel the need to pen an accusatory piece illustrating them as a complete failure?

I ordered all of my Christmas shopping the Saturday evening before Christmas, I got all but one thing, and I am, in fact, quite content with Amazon + UPS's performance.

Being on a website called Hacker News.

Seriously, this surprises you?

Great. This company actually makes awesome things. I really hope Google doesn't ruin them.

It's natural to be repulsed by another person who will "...spit, urinate, taunt you, sell drugs, get rowdy..." in front of you in public.

But the key here is understanding the root cause and showing compassion towards the misguided.

...not constructing an us vs. them mentality, like Greg.

Despite oft printed warnings to the otherwise, you can just cut up the patches to customize the dose.

Duration of release? I believe you should leave it on 24/7. IIRC, it's not that nicotine improves sleep quality, but rather that nicotine withdrawal impairs sleep quality rather profoundly, and as such keeping the patch on at night allows for better sleep. I could be wrong here, though. Been a while since I've researched this.

It's been years since I did this research and can't find my listing of sources.

After a quick deep dive on the topic, I found this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18852035 In short, cells from oral tissues experienced relatively more DNA damage. In absolute terms, it's not much, but reason enough to default to patches, versus oral routes, IMO.

Also, oral nicotine causes all kinds of gingival recession. This is pretty widely known (halfway decent source for this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2388141).

Adderall is a mix of d- and l-amphetamine.

Vyvanse is d-amphetmine bound to lysine, turning it into a prodrug (which means your gut chemically cleaves off the lysine and, conveniently, you're left with d-amp sitting in your gut).

Meth is quite hard to get, via prescription, unfortunately. Its bad rep in pop media has resulted in it becoming overcontrolled by the FDA. It's quite a useful - but little explored and used - therapy for AD(H)D.

You'll nearly universally get straight d-amphetamine at the doctor's office.

This isn't what the original commenter said!

Reread and realize he's talking about the subjective difference.

Both. Novelly, enough.

How it acts depends on how much is administered.

Over the long run, oral nicotine delivery is thought to increase chances of oral cancers.

Best to stick to patches.

This is bullshit.

There is no such hostility.

Way to generate a conversation around a topic where you provide no hard evidence of any of the claims you're making.

Sorry.

I was simply speaking to the headline of: 'Successful People Start Before They're Ready'

Unfortunately, so do people with bad working habits.

Success is a fine line, people.

Take some management classes.

I'm not saying you have to take an MBA, but being able to code and being able to manage people are not the same talent. In many situations, they're quite the opposite.

And you had to show off your coding cred before being hired for it. The same should apply for management.

To everyone who felt polarized by this issue, I want you to take a second and feel shame.

This was such of little consequence, honestly. This wasn't some massive, elaborately planned, misogynistic plot. This was a matter of few pronouns in a random software project.

Stupid crusades like this do damage. We all need to pick our battles carefully. And not doing as much should collectively be viewed as a bad thing.

If you were mounting up on a crusade about this little issue, let me be clear: you should feel bad.

I love tech's progressive thoughts on individual rights and respect and firm adherence to equality, but sometimes the tech industry loses sight of the forest for the trees, and we should collectively rally against that habit.

Now, we lost an amazing Node contributor.

Dear everyone,

Get back to making world changing products that serve your customers and stop spending time arguing about this stupid shit.

Sincerely,

Eh, it stands that it's still kinda lame to skewer the guy.

But, if you subscribe to the 'any press is good press' mentality, I guess it's a win...

Crazy? Probably yes.

But we all owe RMS because he serves as the radical counterbalance to closed source interests.

Maybe he's a little extreme, but he does well with advocating for that end of the FOSS spectrum.

We need a RMS, whether we like him or collectively agree with his opinions.

It also isn't immediately obvious what this even does. I recommend adding a clear and specific description on your main page that explains what you do.
