"He is not believed to have had any little helpers."

I have to admit I almost spit out my tea when I read that.

Now that's authentic Christmas spirit! If only more people would follow his Christ-like example of truly selfless behavior and service to others.

I imagine the bank tellers who were robbed and afraid for their lives probably don't feel that way.

Since this thread's been flagged off the front page, I'm going to use it for something off-topic.

I found the paper you said you were looking for in this comment[1], and sent a link to the address you have in your HN bio. It probably got spam filtered.

I can't legally post a link to a non-paywalled copy on HN, but the ACM allows for authors to host copies on their sites, so you might want to ask Klotz if they'll do so.

The digitized title is "Turtles and Defense" by the way.

Classic mix up between Santa with Peter Pan. I hope they don't come down too hard on him, his heart was in the right place.

Maybe he should have worn a stocking over his head...

Not exactly sure why this is on Hacker News.

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

My intellectual curiosity feels gratified. I admit I could be a special case, but given 77 others have also found it so, I don't think I am.
