Where do you get 90 seconds per set from? 4 seconds per rep would be 32-48 seconds.

I've always had that reaction to that 3rd piece too. I wonder if there is any objective reason for that.

It's worth a mention that this is a common complaint in the UK. We've even had a few government ads run railing against "benefits fraud."

You can't train a cat like you can train a dog.

Unfortunately, that repressive regime I live in is my mum's house.

Why is this blocked by my ISP under "Pornography"?

Wow... somebody wanting Facebook's data?

A lot of cross-posts from Reddit lately. Could this mean Reddit is improving?

Is this really happening? Are they really giving up on Flash and supporting open standards?

Has there been much research into this idea of concrete vs. abstract thinkers?

Java + super-intelligent octopuses + underwater robots... what could go wrong?

(Sorry guys, couldn't resist.)

How come articles like this come up on the homepage so often? A lot of us here already know how to code, and those who want to probably aren't reading Hacker News.

I get that Twitter is the bees knees and all, but it's got some pretty serious problems for such a simple service. For example, the last time I tried visiting it, it only showed the top banner and kept redirecting back to itself. And Google, perhaps on the opposite end of the complexity spectrum, loads before I can start typing my query. And when I do, results come straight away -- even on my shitty TalkTalk connection. But perhaps that's not a fair comparison, since this is Google after all.

On my UK keyboard, $ is <shift-4> and £ is <shift-3>. They're right next to each other.

I got the opposite idea from that book. I remember it explaining that ants (or perhaps it was something else) would cooperate because often they all had the same DNA, and so were working to propagate the same genes.
