The title of the article says "Human memory-saving devices", but none of the devices actually store any memories. They're currently just being designed to help people form and retrieve new memories by stimulating certain parts of the brain.

OMG, talk about unintentionally hilarious. No wonder they took it down.

Here's the Wikipedia article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_of_Mana. I never played the game myself, but the article mentions that mana was used as "spell points", and that

> The story takes place in a fictional world where mana represents an ethereal, but finite, energy source.

Do you have a hobby? Something that you like to do for fun? Hobbies that you can share with other people are a great way to make and keep friends. You might even find a girl friend through a hobby.

Your hobby can be anything. For me, it's dancing. For other people, it might be video games. Take your pick. There are a lot of cool things to do out there in the world. Go out there and explore, meet people.

For example, Polaris is a YouTube network of people who generally like to play video games: https://www.youtube.com/user/Polaris. It's a bunch of friends (and business partners) who all share a love of video games and games in general. So even something like video games can be a vehicle for making friends (and meeting girls), if that's your thing.

4 years of professional web development. I was laid off December 2013 during company-wide layoffs at my previous job. I've been teaching myself Angular.JS, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails in the meantime, as well as answering questions on Stack Overflow, and editing existing questions and answers to make them more useful and easier to find for future readers.

I see, thank you. I'm sorry that I forgot to put "[video]" in the original title too, but of course that doesn't matter anymore.

Open source Hacker News. I think the community can get together and talk about new features (maybe on GitHub pull-requests and/or on HN itself, or maybe a Discourse forum instance), and get those features implemented quickly.

Please provide more tools to help users moderate their own comments. In particular, I think the following features are sorely needed:

1. The ability to delete your own comments indefinitely, instead of having a window of only a few hours within which to delete your own comments.

2. The ability to flag your own comments for moderation.

I suppose one possible reason for not allowing comment deletion after a certain amount of time is that it forces people to really only make high-quality comments, otherwise they'll be downvoted and they won't be able to do anything about it after a few hours.

But if you're trying to improve the quality of Hacker News threads with high-quality comments, then I argue that it's counter-productive to force low-quality comments to remain by not allowing users to self-delete them after `X` hours.

Both Reddit and Stack Overflow allow users to delete their own comments indefinitely. Heck, Stack Overflow even encourages you to delete your own comments, if they don't contribute useful information to a post.

I think a nice comprimise would be to allow each user a certain number of deletions relative to the karma they've earned. i.e. for every 100 upvotes, you're allowed to delete any post of yours indefinitely/permanently.

The reason for the ratio of votes to how many you can delete, is because its likely that HN karma per user correlates with the quantity of posts per user. With that in mind, someone who has made many more posts may have a need to delete more posts in the future.

This would balance the needs of the community to not have holes in its conversations, but also allow individuals to strike a particular comment from the record.

In case anyone goes searching the source for this comment right away before reading it the whole way through on Hacker News, it says at the bottom that it will only show up 50% of the time, so if you don't see it the first time, keep refreshing the page until it shows up in the source.

You get a gold star.

For the curious, these are the languages of the example Hello World programs:
