jnar | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Cheaply and legally filling 40 mp3 players for good cause

I doubt any record or distribution company will ever sue your friend for downloading music and using it with troubled kids. Sorry, i know you expect smart replies on HN but i'd just go with Torrents copy music on mp3s. The whole legal thing regarding mp3 is so wrong and this is the perfect example

I didn't even consider headphones! The funny thing is... i do listen to music all the time as well! It's just that i'm so used to my cheap in-ear earphones that i didn't think about that. Thanks for suggesting, i'll probably get a JBL Tempo Headphones as i'm a bass lover ;)

Well, let me say: love it.

Very good idea, if you will open source it i'll consider using it as standard interface on a project i have (with your permission obviously :)) That said, awesome job!

I mean, seriously. Forget about hyper-tech stuff and get a normal bidet and learn how to wash your ass properly. That's pretty much all you need to improve your life and it will cost way less than 500$.

jnar | 13 years ago | on: My son is schizophrenic. The ‘reforms’ that I worked for have worsened his life.

I'm out of words. Here everybody seem saying smart words about being mentally disable/ill, about politics and so on but you all miss the pivot.

This (young) adult was diagnosed with schizophrenia. If the US wouldn't have the health-care system it has, this guy would receive proper treatment without hassles. Being hospitalized and so on. But he wasn't, and now he's just the last of the leasts. Why he wasn't? Because he wasn't elegible according to the insurance. Obviously he wasn't i'd say. Companies exist to make profit, this is old story, no insurance want really to treat people who are going to require life-long medications and care.

So, try to learn something from this story and realize how the US system is broken when it comes to care about people who isn't Paris Hilton.

I heard Romney saying "nobody is dying in this country because of lacks in terms of health-care, they jsut go to the first aid". He said this because he's just evil. Anyone smart realizes that being stabilized and being treated are 2 different things.

Hi Andrey, nice question. I'd honestly go for an IRC channel, i'm not really sure if anything like this exists, freenode should help in this direction. Anyway, i just added you on google+. I've spent over a year in Russia so far (NSK, Tomsk and Magadan) and i loved it :) And i'm also a startup guy. We can definetely get in touch. PS: I knew LiveReload and loved it!
