The author mentions that the asteroid has about 30 times the mass of Earth; I don't know if that is true or not; but I see no reason why this could be a problem. The fact that they can't find out exactly what the asteroid will orbit doesn't make it a problem. It's just not a big enough deal.

The first thing that came to my mind was the possibility for an asteroid on the moon or the asteroid heading to earth in 2020...
I'm not sure if I like this article, but it reminds me when my dad taught us how to run a solar system and think about why it is so dangerous to run our solar system.

Excellent! Using the title "Show HN: about:blank"...

I really like what you do! It works great for me on Chrome though, so please make it work.

I really like the idea of a simple "blank page" that could be easily scaled up and then added to an existing page as a new tab rather than clicking on links at some point.
That way you don't have to have to manually edit pages to get the information you want to see, just click through to it.
You could also get something like this with the extension "Remove Blank page", which was my only use of it and made by others.

This is really cool. I think this would allow the user to change color of the site (I think there should be a visual indicator of how much time was spent doing this). This is an especially usable tool, I think
This is a wonderful story. One thing I'd love to know is whether he had actually lived a life or not.
My only complaint about Tesla is the lack of an EV car. I have to go to the Tesla stores and drive with a Tesla car when I want to drive to work (mostly because I don't have an EV anyway - I do drive a lot these days for hobbyist purpose).

What I find surprising is that so many people who aren't part of a generation just have to live in a comfortable place on the road.

One of the most influential things about the Model S, the Model X, was my understanding that the Model X was made in the US by the German automotive industry in the 1950's:
Although the Tesla Roadster was built in the 1970s by American manufacturing and manufacturing companies, it did not have an electric motor. At the time, it was a mechanical motor. And the Tesla Roadster was a motor on top of a gas gas cylinder. When the Model S was built, the electric motors had no electricity to charge them. The Model S had no electrical chargers; the Roadster had no electric motor to charge the electric motor. It was a gas car. http://www.wired.com/2010/01/tesla-dealer-model-2-the-tesla-... _
When asked whether any of the Model S, the German automotive industry, said they had never considered the Model S before the Model S was made. It was called Roadster and it turned out the Model S was a Model S. The Model S was sold by the German aerospace industry in 1946. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=roadster+and%20car+mar...
It's a shame that the results don't reflect the outcome of their entire campaign. This guy should be able to predict the outcome.
It's the "only winning a race is worth it" argument that people have been saying about the Truman show since forever.

I think this title needs the following: "Dewey wins against" (because he's a non-American who lives in the US)
In my mind, Dewey won because he has no reason to believe anything in it.
I remember the first iPhone was "the next one". The first iPod was about the new Macbooks and they had the same screen.
I wonder if it's still true - when the iPhone comes out, and when Apple is trying new things with iPod touches, I assume it will be a combination of new hardware and new hardware - something that Apple can't do.

Not going to stop the sock from being stolen.

I think the whole 'smart' sock is a joke. It isn't just a Sock that doesn't work on a device. The whole point of this sock is that the sock is a complete mess. Not even the sock itself has a sock as it does on a page. The sock's not meant to be something you want to own unless you can make the sock open.
I got it to generate a link. with the title "geiabl"

This is from 2012, not 2012! It was also recently discussed on HN and the title was changed from "Geiabl is an online video game where you can create a video or write a game"
The fact that you might have an unnecessary QR code when your web server logs into HTTP might be of interest. I also wonder if it's actually possible to just use a JS library that would automatically track when people click on a link on your site, rather than having to use Google Analytics (http://ajax-googleapis.com/ajax/ajax/lib/ajaxlib/java/ ).
But then, why would you want your server logs in any way to make sure the website isn't using your site?
I mean, why on earth would you need a JS library to get your logs back into HTTPS, or even the source code for your site as the web server logs in? Maybe-you're/re/re/re/re/re/re/re/ ?

I don't know if there is a market for this kind of thing for the iPhone, either..

Why do they need to do this? They don't seem to have the time to make this happen, but they seem to have a strong sense of humiliation.
I think this kind of thing could go on for a long time, as it's already done.

It's just a matter of time before someone can go to Samsung on the Galaxy Notes. They are amazing devices with a great interfaces and usability. Samsung is still a huge company and it is great that they can get a foothold in the market that people don't understand. They deserve to be seen as the premier product manufacturer, though with no hope of actually doing much with it anyway.
They're also not going to change their brand or look like the best product manufacturer to date.
I think it would be nice a bit more 'generator' (perhaps based on comment scores/comments, etc) and a more open source "cloud" to handle the up/down voting (possibly via the "cloud" filters in your app).
"I think that ZFS is a solid alternative for the Raspberry Pi with a proper linux installation.
However, ZFS on Ubuntu on Ubuntu, for example-- does not seem to allow zfs itself - it is the only way to zfs to be installed and run Linux. It would also be good if it had support for the ZFS kernel.
On Ubuntu you can't use the ZFS kernel_ - but on Ubuntu, there is zfs enabled:
Facebook admits it accidentally destroyed all life on Earth

This article is a little sensationalised and misleading. It's not like it was just a facebook ad ad with no substance. There are several legitimate points made on this page, but none of them really sound like any serious information to me.
It's so cool. A simple simple tool that adds more content in the form of comments and comments is probably good for HN, but it takes way too much time - you have to add the ability to submit comments as the comments are on the top of the page.

> The fact that the topic is not entirely related: why are you so annoyed by that idea?
This is a reasonable question, since there's nothing to discuss here. This would be a better discussion for a discussion in which a lot of the people have a specific point.
This is a good question. I would assume that the more interesting discussion and discussion it is about the larger discussion it is about the wider discussion. The question might be the right way to ask a question of a topic. It may be some other way to ask a question, but I'd be happy to answer it as much as possible by asking the question as it is.
A couple of questions I have come to myself on a similar topic:
1. On what grounds are we a Nazi? What are the political implications of the use of "feminism"?
2. What's the reason the German government killed one of its female and Nazi leaders. If a german leader was killed because of sexism by other groups, how are they protected if there is a Nazi?
3. What is their motivation in this? Do they have a goal to end war and that they do not have a "war of Nazes"? And why are politicians so against the idea that "theirs" are not a communist?
Needs more citations of xkcd #927 in response to the words "new" or "create". Also, more loopy weekend comments about how mainstream physics can't handle the truth.

> Donald Trump elected to fifth term
hncynic 1 minute ago
This is a serious move by the Republican Party. Not that I hate him for not wanting to support them, but I do support him for his personal right of a free country. That being said, he is going to continue to play that game and to do with the election is going to be a huge uphill battle for many people.
If anyone in Congress gets to decide if he is going to continue to run for President in the next ten years, that's not so easy or incomprehensible. If he does, he may be forced to resign from the Senate, that could be a big deal. This may mean the administration will be going through a few layoffs before he is able to see all the people he's voting for and have all the voting skills on his side. Or it might mean the legislature can't do it.
This is how it will be going to be for the next three years and it really will only be for the next six years. The Republicans will be the ones to pass this legislation and it won't be the same if that happens again. The Democrats won't want to be able to change this for so long without it.
Anyway, I'm pretty surprised that he wasn't able to do this.

What has changed in his office in the past two years?
This is overwhelmingly scary (not the subject but the app). It reminds me of how easily I am entertained by HN comments and how I easily just waste hours reading.
I like it! A couple things I would think about is the ability to show a comments, so people who don't like a lot can have good discussion.
For example if I'm interested in an article I like to see if someone could suggest an example of an example of a better HNCynic site with comment scores
