rejectedstone··on When can I reuse this calendar?
I think this is great and also applies to some planners. I suspect there would be issues with Holidays listed on the calendar that aren't based on set days (Easter, Jewish/Islamic Holidays, Chinese New Year, Holi, etc.).
rejectedstone··on McDonald's AI Hiring Bot Exposed Applicants' Data to Hackers
I think "Hacker" is a stretch in this instance. When you try and succeed at logging in with "123456" as a password... To permit McDonalds to say they were the victim of hacking is a disservice to organizations who have been hacked. They left the data unprotected and should be held liable for criminal negligence.
rejectedstone··on Farmers sue over purge of climate data needed for agricultural decisions
Electrolytes are what plants crave.
rejectedstone··on Fake Dog for Home Security
Certainly a feature. I recommend a sensitivity level which uses breeds for each level. I further recommend the highest sensitivity be "Great Pyrenees" as I can attest my dog barks at every false positive.
rejectedstone··on Ask HN: Which charities do you donate to?
http://www.nuruinternational.org/ They have been working to lift communities out of extreme poverty in an incredibly effective way.

I had to stop at "quasi-experiment"
rejectedstone··on NASA Image Shows Earth Between the Rings of Saturn
This may be a silly question, but where are all of the stars? This image is amazing! I love that you can even see the moon. When I saw this I thought, if I can see the earth and its moon clearly from Saturn, then I should be able to see Saturn and her moons from Earth (then I remembered all of the stars, and how hard it would be to make that out in the night sky).
rejectedstone··on Calling Yourself ‘Humbled’ Doesn’t Sound as Humble as It Used To
This goes back pretty far: "Now the man Moses was very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth." Num 12:3 - Written by Moses

rejectedstone··on Why you shouldn't share links on Facebook
Using dadada as the Facebook password in the example was clever.
rejectedstone··on Source code for the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer
Nice Documentation. I liked this line: 058113,000352: 11,3037 77656 UNIT #PROBABLY UNNECESSARY.
rejectedstone··on MMM Receives Legal Threats
I was surprised to see their site is still up. Making the internet mad at you, doesn't typically end well.
rejectedstone··on Piracy - You can't have your cake and eat it
It is easier to steal a Twinkie than it is to wait in line and have to pay for it, and then wait for your change. Then you have all those damn coins in your pocket...
rejectedstone··on What's wrong with OKCupid's matching algorithm.
Props for using Chris Rock's "I take care of my kids."
