I forgot I turned up my Netflix speed to 1.25x and ended up watching many shows at that speed when I realized it it was very foreign to go back to normal speed and they sounded very slow and annoying. But 11x speed sounds difficult, though

This made me think one should almost practice like a fire alarm drill we do in grade schools. Set a random timer and when you get the alert react. Have it go off randomly some days so you can practice getting under a desk or in a doorway as

If they ban facial recognition then companies will start using other tech like gait recognition. So are we wanting to ban facial recognition or is it something more like the right to not be tracked(if that even is a right). I think we need

Sounds like Japan. But most countries that is not the case. People want to protect their property. Also with hidden cameras it would be trivial to do so and not be detected so in your country those who want to record are already doing it ju

I wonder what other campaigns over the generations have taken place to change the public’s view on history? It is getting harder now days in the digital world but China sure thinks it can.

Why should we run a scan on ourselves? Why should we be treated as a criminal for doing nothing wrong? The solution is to vote out anyone who thinks this is a good idea. To not support any company who tries to implement this kind of technol

Well though I somewhat agree, a lot of kids do not have parents who care or know better and may be on poor diets that cause obesity. Also some kids just don’t have the genetics. The grades should be based on effort applied at whatever skill

But in social studies there is math that gets discussed. We had percentages for sure when discussing politics for example. My social studies is ever old but we definitely had some portions that had some math involved.

I disagree. This seems to me to be the heart of tinkering. We don't always have the tools we need so sometimes improvise and especially since it was a cheap board and he knew the risks it seems perfectly fine to me. If everything neede

Carbon neutral is not the same as filling the landfill with plastic and electronic waste. Just because they use solar power for energy has little to do with other environmental impacts.

Here we simply don’t have the staff to go to 32 hours. The only thing this would effectively change is that after 32 hours they would have to start paying us overtime. We are hiring any qualified care workers but we continue to be short sta

I do agree with much you write, I don't think many care as long as their status quo stays the same. I have not drank any Kool-Aid I just find it hard to watch the suffering in China. The changes needed would effect the people at the bo

This is the truth the way I see it. I don’t care if I have to go back to coming over a wood stove with a stick if it meant stopping China. The only area of concern I do see is they provide a lot of pharmaceutical with the chemicals they nee

That is far from addressing the issue. They are putting 4% of liability down. That won’t even keep up with current inflation and like your article states will still take 25-30 years. Critics in the same article don’t believe their assessmen

Well the problem, which is well documented is that the owners of the wells have no incentive to close down a non profiting well. So instead they are abandoning them. So yes taking decades to close a well is a problem. The money to close the

With approx. 71,000 abandoned wells and 91,000 inactive wells even if you closed 500 a month, and let me tell you this is no where near the rate of how many are being closed, it would take 27 years. The fact is however that even more are be

I saw a project here on HN that was basically a webscraper for non developers that aimed to make it easy to scrape data from various sites. What some warned the project did not do is warn you that you could potentially be banned from some s

As a Canadian this reminds me of Alberta. They will have an abandoned well problem to deal with but are in denial. They are also in denial about their tailing ponds from the tar sands. They love to show their one example of how the cleaned

I love my iphone 4s and it was only a couple years back I got rid of it. I had replaced the screen multiple times, replaced the power button, replaced the ear speaker, I think it had a new home button. It was a frankenphone to say the least

They did recall several brands, I checked and mine was not recalled. I bought a name brand one, Airwalk to be exact. Yes I know many are just rebranded but there was some issues in the ones that caught on fire which the air walk brand did

I have heard this but last I heard, not sure a source or time to search right now, that the courts have been favoring our side and don't really want the average Canadian being sued. They are going after the commercial entities resellin

I don't have YouTube Tv but your comment almost made me dry heave a little realizing we are back at square one with cable tv and bundling channels users don't want and forcing them to pay for stuff. I haven't had cable tv in

I bought my kids a hover board for Christmas a few years back. Then it was in the news that some, a different brand, were catching fire on people. I never liked the thought of lithium ion batteries charging unattended after that. I started

The difference is the spirit of the law but you are correct in that it is technically following the law. But breaking the spirit of the law garners you no public sympathy. So though we see possibly Black Cube didn’t break any laws and there

Honest question why do they have to redact anything? Like what information is redacted? Why can’t they just hand over whatever they have? Is there something secret they are trying to protect? Honest question thanks

I recently noticed the same posts popping up and they contained the exact same comments but instead of the comment saying 1month old it would say like 3 hours. I asked and some suggested it is karma farmers and they use the same posts and s

There has been some recent changes to reddit and it is becoming aggressively annoying. Trying to make me look back on my top posts and comments and flashy buttons on the top. They are aiming for that dopamine hit by showing you your top pos
