moheeb··on High Speed Trains are Killing the European Railway Network

Higher speeds!

moheeb··on We work a 4-day week and just raised $4.75m (2012)

Working four 10s is not that uncommon. Lame title.

moheeb··on Nest introduces their Smoke Detector

If it were possible to provide them with a device which they could easily disable during cooking

Yeah this stuff isn't really that tough. A single button that disables for 30 minutes would work perfectly. Maybe this device has that?

moheeb··on My Friends and I Bought an Island

...and you've accidentally cut off one of your hands building your cabin?

moheeb··on US Military Scientists Solve a Fundamental Problem of Viral Marketing

Couldn't anyone who's ever designed a router also sell their algorithm to marketers?

moheeb··on "I have come to find out what it's like to be dumb."

This is provably wrong. When stopping Cymbalta it is common to suffer severe withdrawal symptoms.

moheeb··on Defeated

Wasn't that exactly how it was before? How is that better, or worse?

moheeb··on Defeated

Driving actually is a privilege. Hence the reason it can be taken away from you due to misconduct. People in the US agree with this practice.

Every driver in the US has to pass a driving test in order to be legally allowed on the road. Is air travel somehow different? Maybe all you folks should be boiling your blood over the fact that you have to prove to the government you're capable of driving!

moheeb··on Defeated

Obvious to who? The people being subjected to the same?

moheeb··on Apngasm Wants To Promote Animated PNGs As An Alternative To GIFs

This is like converting ASCII art to a .jpg. Sure it looks exactly the same, but the history of the format is gone.

moheeb··on Don't Fly During Ramadan

I've never had my flight cancelled...but the rest of it sounds pretty par for the course, even for white people.

moheeb··on Judge sentences Bradley Manning to 35 years

This is an excellent point. I think there is an argument in there somewhere for actions starting a war versus actions ending a war.

Also doing it Charlie Sheen style helps (winning!)

moheeb··on San Francisco split by Silicon Valley's wealth

Not so with an iceberg, unfortunately.

moheeb··on The Sun's Magnetic Field is about to Flip

Correlation is not causation.

moheeb··on Japan nuclear body says radioactive water at Fukushima an 'emergency'

Guyana has zero, if that makes you feel better.

moheeb··on Sergey Brin invests in synthetic beef

What about all the vegetables you're exploiting?

moheeb··on Facial scrubs polluting Great Lakes with plastic

I think a lot of us are calling that nature.

moheeb··on We have an employee whose last name is Null. He kills our employee lookup (2012)

Change it to Mapcock.

moheeb··on Bot wars - The arms race of restaurant reservations in SF

Non-hipster technique would have included invoking Yogi Berra and his "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." line.

moheeb··on Bot wars - The arms race of restaurant reservations in SF

Well you have to have some way to differentiate them from the people that don't like food.

moheeb··on The Lost Art of Pickpocketing (2011)

A smartphone isn't worth anything until you sell it.

moheeb··on White Coke

Did someone just finish a game of Civ?

moheeb··on Poll: How old are you?

I think that is mostly because you would have had to have been an early adopter to get in before that age. 30+ is BBSs, modems...no real internet at that point.

moheeb··on Poll: How old are you?

No, I would say you are better able to understand the big picture, but less able to see it ;)

moheeb··on Ask HN: I'm quadriplegic – can you help me with my security?

I use this exact method to get around VPN restrictions. Works great running a VM Windows 8 within another instance of Windows 8. On an SSD the VM seems to be as fast as the actual machine.

moheeb··on The crux of the NSA story in one phrase: 'collect it all'

Dang, writing sober sucks.

moheeb··on When male CEOs have daughters, relative pay for women at their firms goes up

You have now changed your argument from 'wage gap' to 'income gap'. Those two are not the same thing.

A 'wage gap' implies getting paid less for the same job. No good. An 'income gap' implies someone earns less than someone else. That seems perfectly acceptable.

moheeb··on Nokia Lumia 1020 packs 41-megapixel camera whopper

I think your memory is a bit off. Seems to me that nearly everyone in the US had a Nokia phone at one point.

moheeb··on Nokia Lumia 1020 packs 41-megapixel camera whopper

I find that hard to believe. Nearly everyone I see using a phone is txting.

moheeb··on Show HN: I hacked my microwave with a Raspberry Pi

Great idea! It seems they should close more like a fridge or oven, instead of a car door.
