Without looking I can tell you it's two reasons:

1) It's text based and, therefore, can keep its total response small.

2) The page is cached on the backend so database lookups are kept infrequent and small.

Those two reasons alone make it faster than, say, 80% of most web sites.

I especially agree with your third point. Any kid getting his first Windows machine was now a computer expert and ran to the (then) only knowledgeable place to get more info, and that was usenet. That turned usenet into reddit without any controls at all. Reddit, at least, does some minimal clean up.

I didn't introduce the topic. I only made the typical HN/Reddit-like comment so prevalent on anything like this if it were to show men/non-whites/Americans in a positive light.

She works almost seven days a week and blames the US for that? Never in my life have I worked seven days in a week, and I own my own business! (Granted, I did when we started up for a few months.)

And then she claims her $30,000 salary, at seven days a week, turns out to be the equivalent of minimum wage? On which planet? At $7.25 an hour, times 56 hours (7 days at 8 hours per day) times 52 weeks (though she got 10 days off) equals $21,112.

This article is of ill repute.

At one time it was true for Hungarians, too.

Oh, no. Don't tell me this is going to be trending now.

>this is from 2013

And repeated ad nauseum.

In other news, Japan spied on US government. Film at 11.

>I dont' know why so many people are surprised by the Cortana data vacuum.

Well, today is Thursday. That other stuff was from Tuesday. Tomorrow it will be something else about somebody else.

And I would like to personally thank you for one of those. :)

> And this differs from Google's and Facebook's usage policies how?

Was waiting for someone to bring that up. Microsoft has never done anything different than Google does yet, until now, no one bothered to check up on Microsoft. However, Microsoft has its tentacles more tightly wound around Windows users.

So, iow, Hollywood.

People forget or don't know that Hollywood is the Silicon Valley of films. You need a special effect? There's a guy down the street who can do that. You need a special lens or lighting? You can rent that, today, for a hundred bucks at the shop around the corner.

That's why films, and the people who make them, congregate in Hollywood.

Unless Apple makes it available for your use, no. Every system has its own system font and you can find them easily on the web.

I'm starting to wonder if such things will soon be a lost art by confused kids rummaging through github trying to find out how to do such things readily available on any *nix/BSD computer.

I think and read.

Telling people to be civil and respectful to each other is an endorsement of violent conduct? I think I stumbled on the wrong type of forum.

There are thousands and thousands of police interactions with the public every day and rarely does such a thing happen. Perhaps your total knowledge of this is based on what you read on HN or news blurbs on your local TV news.

My point is, every decent, moral, law-abiding citizen is unconcerned about the need for any article such as this.

I was always taught to respect others and respect authority. In a civilized world, you should be civil to everyone. I would no sooner mouth off to a cop as I would mouth off anyone else. It's disrespectful and speaks volumes about the person spouting off and nothing about who he's going off on.

Respect and civility to everyone is a higher cause. To even think of doing otherwise is beyond right thinking.

Your first two paragraphs are BS. Your last paragraph is unbridled truth.

This is true but many people think cooking every day is too much of a chore cause they try to duplicate what you get at a restaurant but restaurants, specifically nicer sit down places, make food special and have a system in place to deliver that same food in a way to attract you. It's more difficult to do the same thing at home unless you want to eat the same food every day.

By this I mean, a home cooked meal should be meat and potatoes and it shouldn't be expected to be boeuf bourguignon. That you get at a restaurant.

Expectations are also a problem. People think gourmet cooking is just too much but, if you take the time to actually read recipes, you'll find that it's not hard at all. There may be technique involve, and there may be ingredients you don't normally keep, but if you love that previously mentioned boeuf, you'll enjoy making it every week, so those ingredients won't go to waste.
