> for the latter half of that period...

First half...?

> Right now, Jacquard only allows one-way communication (human -> device)

Wasn't there mention of light and haptic feedback?

Wouldn't that just be the same as any loss leader, which are not illegal in general...

Don't name your music company Apple though...

Doesn't Yelp have a reputation for much shadier business practices (i.e. extortion)? Maybe they're not a very sympathetic underdog in this fight.

Why would a scraper who doesn't respect robots.txt be accessing that file?

I've owned half a dozen houses including new construction and never had a 240 outlet in the garage.

Maybe so, I'm not an expert on such matters, but the highest tax rate was 50% or higher from 1932-1986. I would say that is relevant to our current discussion.

> income tax that caps out at 90%

Kind of like it was in the 50s back when America was "great again"?

I would have thought that was a well known fact. It's brought up virtually every time lead toxicity comes up...

The link you provided says

> "When the plural form stigmata is used, it usually refers to the nail wounds on Christ's hands and feet, wounds which have sometimes reappeared on the hands or feet of later worshippers such as St. Francis."

> Why is the new generation not using exact time like 6:45 5:30 etc?

New generation? My grandparents said things like "half past" and "quarter till" and they were born 100+ years ago.

Cancer has been associated with colorectal cancer death??

Uh, or it just doesn't work perfectly in all situations or for all people. That's true of most products.

I was interested to see his profile if he worked at NASA in this capacity. He had one submission -- it's not like I pored over his history. I don't think I overreacted -- I was impressed that someone could get to a point that they're authoring NASA press releases so quickly.

Like I said, though, I'm a dummy...

Are you implying you're the author of this press release? It looks like you were job hunting 6 months ago (based on your one HN submission) -- now you're writing press releases for NASA??

Edit: Nevermind, I'm a dummy.

That's a description that most Americans can more easily picture than something like 0.68 mm (including people who are comfortable with metric units like myself) and they seem to be focusing a lot in recent years on making the information they provide more accessible to average Americans, undoubtedly to help drive interest in and support for what they're doing.

> 'I' use? I think you'll find everyone uses a different format than the US.

The plural of "you" in English is"you"...

There's a computer chess rendition of the position halfway down the article that's a lot easier to parse than the drawing...

> they show that if the second and 10 is due to a run on first down, they are more likely to run on second down than if they passed on first down

I think you got this backwards. If the first down was a run, they were far less likely to run on second down compared to when the first down was a pass.

Interesting that you state Isaac Newton's attitude as fact. When I Google "isaac newton universe built for humans to understand" unquoted, I don't find any support for this statement. In fact, this thread ends up as one of the top hits.

You posted this twice...

> The compiler is part of the IDE, not some external process that needs to start from a blank state for each file, needing to read the same files over and over...

I suspect the difference is negligible in practice. In both cases, the files are likely to be cached in memory after they're read the first time, so you're not really reading it over and over.

I feel like you misread his comment if you're asking that. His next sentence explains why it's mistaken...

> And no shared border.

TIL MA and NY do not share a border...

Healthy discourse can include both qualitative and quantitative commentary. I think HN readers can generally differentiate between the two. We don't need comment police complaining that some qualitative comments are lacking statistical support.

I think it's clear that lcw was making an observation about the tone of HN comments on the topic. I found it to be a reasonable one that matches my perception.

Disputing his comment makes sense if you think he's wrong, but it seems unreasonable to require people to back up such commentary with "stats".

What flight are you referring to? The article says extra passengers were allowed to stand in the aisles. It also says the captain was unaware until after takeoff.

There's plenty of evidence that alcohol leads many to aggressive and violent behavior and a fair amount of evidence that pot has the opposite effect. I think that's reason enough to belief that a drunk gun user is apt to be more dangerous than a high (on weed) one.

The quote I included made it sound like he was referring to stories that advocate getting rid of swap.
