True, but otherwise it would seem like a free ad for a future troll.

I don't mind paying more, but what is the way to get exome sequencing in the States today? There are some Australian companies using Illumina equipment and offering it for about $1,500, but is this possible in the States as well?

Pretty much, yes. It has an API as well. You have to accept the root certificate of the authority you create in the browser and then you don't have do accept all self-signed certificates based on it. It's aiming to ease development, it's not to be used in production.

Well, a new limit of, let's say, 500 characters will make a huge difference! Still short form, yet, not need to be abbreviating and using broken English, skip punctuation, etc. just to fit into the artificial 140 limit!

I know. I've discussed this with the author, there are some IP issues he's trying to resolve. Outside of this obstacle, his desire is to open-source it.

Yup! I don't use Twitter, because I'm tired of abbreviating. I've heard all the made-up motives from people both inside and outside of the company but for many years already nobody has been using Twitter via SMS! Also, for years, phones have been splitting long messages into multiple short ones if necessary and composing them back as well. Remove the limit and save Twitter, please!

Yes, I know who he is. Although I had a much older account, which password I couldn't recover, because it's from the days when no email was necessary here, I frequent HN for years and that's why I care about this community as I spend a significant portion of my life in here.

I don't exercise and I'm fine although genetically I have 30% higher risk of obesity, so, just don't eat more than you have to and find pleasures in creation and discovery, in socializing, not in eating!

How is it any better than Canary [0]? The image recognition, of course, but that's something that Canary can also do.
I think the biggest issue with Butterfleye is that it looks like a camera unlike Canary, which is more covert.

Why do people try to boost their metabolism (or demise) these days then? I strongly believe that being physically lazy (i.e. not expending much energy and keeping metabolism slow), but mentally active, and walking 30-45 minutes a day is the healthiest lifestyle one could have (if they can afford it).

I am sure that you cannot back with any credible evidence the assumption than downvoting comments makes HN a better place. You can add flagging and that will do better, but downvoting is unhealthy. The fixed -4 threshold is random and wrong as well. The loyalty to Paul Graham's original decisions is misunderstood loyalty and there are a lot of missed opportunities here, because of these repeated mistakes.

Then do the right thing and solve the problem by removing downvote on comments - you will do this community a huge favor and you will simplify the UX as well. It has no purpose outside of emotional buildups. Upvotes give you enough for sorting purposes - it's been working well for Facebook and Twitter. For everything else, there's reddit!
Re:'Dislike' button coming to Facebook

Like/dislike is not structured feedback. The most awkward situation is when people "like" some tragic article. In this case, Reddit and HN do better - you up/down vote, you don't "like". Instead, they should've added multiple "reactions". Like/dislike, agree/disagree, boost up/down, etc. Of course, the equivalent of "upvoting" possibly is "sharing", but often you don't want to pollute your timeline, just to boost the visibility. I think Facebook is making things worse, not better.

This is some really stupid decision! Even more stupid than adding the stickers! All that we've seen going wrong here and over at reddit with the community-destroying negative voting is coming to Facebook - let the flame wars begin! Trolls are gonna love it, too! Instead, what they had to do is copy Slack's emoji reactions - the most brilliant thing they could've done to improve feedback. Or at least copy BuzzFeed's original reaction approach for the lazy majority.
