Hi, I'm really interested in chatting to you and learning more about your experiences with custom-made clothing. How can I contact you?


This is spot-on.

I feel like I have emerged from a long dream, and now I'm walking around, waiting for everyone else to wake up.


My sites are gone too! WTF?


Looks like the creator of this website has a history of using sockpuppets when he posts on HN.

Strange how people create new accounts just to say positive things about this site...


Hi Robert, Is there something wrong with asking one's friends to sign up and share their experiences and give us an upvote. Not sure why you're going through all this trouble to figure out what is generally an obvious thing for any site seeking traction to do.


"Is there something wrong with asking one's friends to sign up and share their experiences and give us an upvote."

If you aren't aware of why asking your friends to post reviews about your site (without disclosing their relationship to you) is unethical, I'm not sure I can explain that to you.

Hmmmm...

Hi, Please let us know if you're still having trouble signing up. We're seeing registrations coming through successfully.

OK, now it recognizes me and I can see inside the app. Closing browser window upon registration process did freak me out.


Early brain scans could help at-risk individuals receive voluntary intervention (medication, therapy etc.) to help them avoid trouble later on. One would hope that the results of these brain scans would be confidential to avoid stigmatizing individuals.

Treating violent and sexual offenders as human beings who are mentally ill instead of writing them off as evil monsters would be a huge step in the right direction for the legal system and society in general.


The amount of lift you would get from such a small amount of helium would be practically negligible compared to the weight of the aircraft. Lighter-than-air craft require an enormous volume of helium/hydrogen - due to the cross-section of such a craft, the speed of travel is severely limited by drag. Basically, an aircraft uses wings OR lighter-than-air gas - it can't use both.


An airfoil (wing) creates lift when air flows from the leading edge to the trailing edge, and the speed of this airflow is one of the factors which determine how much lift is generated. A strong tailwind will interrupt the airflow, induce turbulence and decrease lift. Thus, an airfoil moving into a headwind will generate greater lift than one moving through a tailwind.


Ah, so it's just the transition to a tailwind that causes problems? That makes sense.


"The new frontier for crime is bitcoin fraud."

I don't know much about bitcoin but I'm intrigued. Could you please elaborate?


I know it's an incredibly radical idea, but treating prisoners like human beings would be a good start.


b...bb...but what about poetic justice?
