Women did not serve in combat roles during World War 2. There was about ten times as many men in the military than women at that time.


Exactly. It is not "demonizing women." It is more like painting an ugly picture of male lust for them. Like, so, you think she's hot? All you see are lovely curves and a good time ahead? HERE's the rest of the story....


Perhaps this is because um is closer to the mystical sound om/aum[1]?

This is why I'm excited for VR. Now that equipment like Oculus Rift is going mainstream, there's an opportunity to move beyond managing "windows" to managing "objects", e.g. taking a phone call would not affect the notes you were arranging on the virtual desk in front of you. Current generation phones are trapped by the limited screen size of a handheld device.

Even worse than being disrupted would be if my phone started trying to guess what I was intending. "It looks like you're writing a letter."


You could make it a redirect service for npm modules.

e.g. https://js.org/express 301 redirects to https://www.npmjs.com/package/express

Another idea is a blog. One of my favorite blogs is http://npmawesome.com/


Thats a bit nodejs focused, i think. Off-topic: The blog i like most is dailyjs...


How about https://node.js.org/express instead?


So getting practical, the main strategy would be:

- When a project reaches a popularity threshold (for example 10k github stars or gets to be the most popular project is his category - example: the most popular 3D library) would get a subdomain:

https://jquery.js.org/eachplugin

https://node.js.org/express

When we get exceptions, in this case, express grew and got autonomous, https://node.js.org/express would redirect to:

https://express.js.org/


much better i think.


If moving the project to a new server is not feasible, then how does the client backup their data?

I refuse to work on projects that cannot be installed from scratch in a local VM.


Modern browsers don't actually let you redefine `undefined`.


Check out this excerpt from his 2001 semi-autobiographical film, "Confessions of a Sociopath":

Is the low quality intentional? We made better looking, sounding, and edited videos in high school AV class.


One would think surveillance audio/video should be sufficiently high resolution to remove reasonable doubt as to identity and circumstances. Then again, it might be that surveillance systems are considered a "bothersome cost of doing business" so the cheapest system that checks boxes is used and rarely, if ever, upgraded... Until there is an incident.


I would set up a free Heroku application and provide SSL and caching by redirecting it through CloudFlare.

I host a lot of static websites like this.


The article is missing an important piece of information: can you buy a drink at the bar with it?


Apparently not, according to question #26: http://www1.nyc.gov/site/idnyc/frequently-asked-questions/fr...

> The card also does not authorize cardholders to purchase alcohol or tobacco products

I found this to be kind of surprising.


Perhaps this is too far outside of your existing scope of functionality but I'll throw it out there: I would really love a "Hacker News Alerts" feature. I make the same searches every week on a few key terms but it's a manual process.

If you could push new search results directly to my inbox it would be convenient.


We could partner with https://www.hnwatcher.com (using the HN Search API btw), they proposed us their help a few months ago.
