A recovering economy. By most measures, it's healthier than it has been for years. Let's hope it keeps improving.

IMHO, the smart phone has a lot to do with this. The phone acts as a communication device, a GPS, a flashlight, a camera, a music player, a library, etc. etc. It's also the end-all entertainment…

Seems intuitive to me-- anything you ingest into your body has potential for harm. We pay a price every time we take something in. Vaping and marijuana are two hot topics these days. They're le…

A nice article. I hope the local library has a copy, the article has convinced me to try to read it.

Unsaid: the continually rising cost goes hand-in-hand with the extra drag. This probably should be studied, though we'll also have to study improvements in health care along with the extra headc…

Surely, the hotel must have some reason to justify this. Can someone please tell us why the hotel might choose to do this to some guests? (Be fair in your statement, please. I'm just looking fo…

I don't play short selling, but if I did I'd be watching Tesla as well. There are a lot of signs pointing to a broad decline-- rate inversion, historical highs for P/E, etc. IMHO, cauti…

I remember when Schlitz was on top, along with Hamm's (love the blue colors on the can) and Pabst Blue Ribbon. If you lived west of the Rockies, you could get Coor's (giving it a forbidden-…

Amazing. I think that's truly cool.

Sounds terrible. I hope the company is sued into oblivion, and the officers publicly shamed. What an awful place.

Wow, sorry to hear this. Good luck to you and your mother.

Wow. The lawyers have to be celebrating this one.

Yes, exactly. I find this a major annoyance of HN, and wish it would be improved.

Ugh. What a terrible affliction to have.

This changes things. For one, Red Hat is now offering OpenJDK support for Windows.

Please support Open Source Software. It benefits us all.

I gave a talk about generational differences in the workplace this year, so had a fair amount of research about how different generations manage finance. The charts do a good job of telling the story,…

This is outrageous. Jeong wrote horrible things about people based on only their skin color. There is NO excuse for such behavior. It is as racist as can be. Further: Conservative African-American …

Wow, that seems like a pretty big jump. Good for the author.

That, combined with stories about Jobs' parking habits and medical line-jumping paint a pretty clear picture. I pity Jobs and those who were around him.

A better headline might have been "Basic Income caused crime to drop in Nambia". I think there are a lot of variables that deserve closer study before jumping to conclusions about what might…

I've recently been to San Francisco for a tech conference. I don't much mind the straws or scooters. But the poop on the sidewalks and rough looking characters just a few blocks from Moscon…

I dislike some of what LeBron James has done, but he gets my utmost respect for this. If more celebreties put their money to work like James has done, the world would be a much better place. Kudos!

.Net Core is fully supported on Red Hat Linux. If it gains serious traction, that could change the development landscape for a fair chunk of Enterprise development.

Vaguely reminds me of the cartoon 'Roger Ramjet'.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7SqSNQeAFM …

53. I'm learning to play the banjo and solve Rubik's cube. (I can solve it, but still need a cheat-sheet.) I learned to juggle at 50. My plan is to try to stave off mental decline by lear…

It's a great pity that today's generation can't appreciate Brooks' greatest works. Too politically incorrect. Of course the irony is that Brooks' work was groundbreaking for …

Hacker News paydirt! I love it when I find something that directly relates to every day productivity. Kudos to the provider.

That is NOT the Captain speaking. It's someone who wants to extract money from your wallet. Run away!

What a waste of time. There's not a shred of evidence in that article.
