If we extend that to medical, the graveyard is bananas big.

What part of the plant suggests that it "wants" anything instead of just being adapted by force of natural selection to respond in certain ways? There is nothing in plants that should make us believe they can do anything like thin

Stress and harm are loaded words for stimuli here. Parts of plants can be triggered by a stimulus to begin emitting chemical signals that govern growth, senescence, etc elsewhere in the plant. They do this in response to a wide range of sti

I love the cheese grater but I don't care for the chrome handles and feet either. They remind me of bed frames and office chairs. I think the G5 case was peak design for a tower that's hard to top but Apple's surprised me bef

I find the messed-up imagery disturbing not necessarily because of what they depict but because it's such a convincing emulation of "visions" I've had when my brain is doing... not so great. Illness, fever dreams, and ba

On the topic of 800 numbers with words, there used to be a satellite TV service called Primestar and they advertised their number as 1-800-PRIMESTAR, which is too long, man. I think I've seen this elsewhere since but the memory of this

The recording is made in the dye layer, a chemical change, and the dye degrades (particularly in sunlight) so the discs have a limited shelf life. Checking Wikipedia, it appears azo dye formulations can be good for tens of years. Melting po

I would be surprised if it used helical recording. Data tape recorders rarely do because it's much more complex, increases tape wear, and the use cases don't usually demand that kind of linear bandwidth.

I'm personally a fan of Pickle and Cucumber, completely unrelated naturally.

Though I loathe Cox for several reasons, in my neck of the woods, they offer wifi with excellent coverage over the neighborhood. Captive portal can be logged into with Cox account credentials. I've used it several times as a backup, e.

I loathe Cox for many reasons mostly related to their unpredictable usage policies (perennial shenanigans with the word "unlimited"), adversarial customer support and messaging, and high prices with dark patterns re: bundling and

People with treatment-resistant primary insomnia should go ahead and make their peace. If CBT-i, calming exercises, or the small stable of medications (all of modest efficacy and some themselves implicated in dementia among other risks) don

If it settled in our mouths for a decade or two, it'd probably sit just fine. Not to say it's sitting well now!

Travel by car has covered the land with pavement, polluted the air, and filled our public spaces with endless noise.

AGI seems plausible enough but especially for the other two, I don't think we can take it for granted that the development of these technologies is imminent; that it will be economical, ethical, or just vaguely wise to use them; or tha

95 needed at least 4MB, ideally 8MB or more of memory. Which means it will fit in the cache of modern CPUs many times over, though I may be ignoring some swap stuff. 512MB isn't a lot today so might as well use it, at least for things

Apple is way out ahead of the pack on this point. No (?) trad PC laptop is on the same level so it seems like kinda a high bar to clear.

Not all plants have the growth patterns you describe. Many monocots and gymnosperms (cycads) either don't branch, or do so irregularly (they'll look "messy", think Joshua trees or branching palms), and cuttings aren&#x27

At zero percent interest, it in effect reduces the price of the phone, so perhaps you should reconsider it.

Because no such track can be "good" and listeners are wrong to enjoy them? And of course many of those singers are technically talented anyway. Kind of just sounds like you're being an asshole.

I disagree, I like a lot of that music that you don't like. Gosh, that was easy to refute. ; ) Not necessarily trying to be flip, just underlining that it's not reasonable to talk about matters of taste in the way that you are.

That and they fixed the bug, importantly. Additional feedback on HN about checking even less often, getting user consent, and writing regression tests but commentators are being dramatic and insulting about it.
