Deployed onto what? Deployed how? Jars are great, but the artifact itself doesn’t answer these questions. Granted, images themselves don’t answer these questions on their own, but there are options available that easily admit deployments that don’t assume everything’s a jar.

I'm wondering if the collective noun shouldn't be "passel" or "sounder". I supposed it depends on the spam source.

I don’t think it’s the author. The account looks like it posts submissions from Pragmatic Programmers blog posts.

Do you have a reference for this organized effort? Sounds like something that would be good to know about and publicize.

What’s the likely outcome of doing so?* Why are you saying it? To show you were right? To make them feel stupid for not listening to you? How will you feel afterwards? How will they feel? How will that likely affect your interactions with them in the future?

Maybe you're fine with the likely outcome. But maybe not.

* And there’s a distinction between what’s likely to happen and what you think should happen. They’re not always the same thing.

High definition audio is great. That said, upwards of 90% of human communication is non-verbal, including body language and facial expressions. One benefit of high-quality audio vs text is that we include intonation. But it doesn't encapsulate everything.

This isn't to say we've cracked that nut with the current state of internet-transmitted video. A blanket "humans communicate via audio neglects these other channels of communication.

Because they're elements. They require nuclear reactions to create them.

Consciousness and free will are not the same concept.

Depends on what you mean by "a single normal user can flag a submission". Any user with sufficient karma (30-odd?) can click "flag". The number of flags a submission has will affect its ranking, and with a sufficient number of flags, the [flagged] tag will appear.

Note that other actions (including voting on the submission, and commenting/participating in the discussion) also affect ranking (according to the FAQ).

See the FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), in particular:

> How are stories ranked?

> The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way.

> Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, account or site weighting, and moderator action."

and

> What does [flagged] mean?

> Users flagged the post as breaking the guidelines or otherwise not belonging on HN.

> Moderators sometimes also add [flagged] (though not usually on submissions), and sometimes turn flags off when they are unfair.

> Are paywalls ok?

> It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

> In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic.

> "The SCO–Linux disputes were a series of legal and public disputes between the software company SCO Group (SCO) and various Linux vendors and users. The SCO Group alleged that its license agreements with IBM meant that source code IBM wrote and donated to be incorporated into Linux was added in violation of SCO's contractual rights. Members of the Linux community disagreed with SCO's claims; IBM, Novell and Red Hat filed claims against SCO."

This is what the "favorite" link beneath the submission line is for. You can view your favorites in your profile.

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish with the fast. If the goal is gut rest, you're probably breaking the fast to some extent.

As for autophagy, as far as I know there are no good biomarkers to determine autophagy levels, so it's hard to say whether black coffee stops autophagy, or even whether you've entered a state of increased autophagy as a result of the fast, regardless of length or methodology. It'd be great to have some, though.

You can't downvote a reply to your own comment.

Thanks for the link!

    Investment.    46.64%
    Jewelry.       36.83%
    Central banks.  8.58%
    Technology.     7.95%

According to the stats you shared, less than 10% is used by central banks (currency), about 37% in jewelry, and about 47% for investment.

I don’t think it’s fair to lump in jewelry with currency and investments. Much of the discussion I hear argued around cryptocurrency is in comparison to fiat currency. Investments are something again different in my opinion, though I might be convinced otherwise if I saw the those making the comparisons to, say, gold, and making cogent, nuanced points.

Gold as a material has many uses, not only to back currency. Comparison to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is not particularly useful.
