It's called a Dutch or descending price auction and it's a commonly used price-setting mechanism.

It's not sensationalist at all. Let's say you buy a child's meal through the app and your daughter ends up dying of E coli contracted from the meal. Because you used the app, you theoretically can't sue them, only use ar

Apple doesn't run a search engine or a social network though? Do they even sell ads on news content? Seems completely different to me.

At the end of the day, shipping by sea is much more efficient than shipping over land, and the narrow spit of land connecting North and South America has lots of sea access, including car ferries to connect the road networks. So you wouldn&

I think it'll be easier/cheaper to figure out how to economically manufacture carbon-neutral kerosene from renewable energy sources (rather than digging it up out of the ground) and just fly normal airplanes, than it will be to bu

They might be wrong with how high the rates are set, though, as large tech companies truly do seem to be getting out of this space, no longer considering it worth it.

That's not how the country's laws work, though. They fixed that "loophole".

I think it's news because Google is still doing ongoing layoffs. Admittedly, smaller ones than in January, but it's still going on. So the overall SWE hiring landscape is still pretty rough.

It does seem like, because of all the national laws requiring big tech companies to pay news organizations merely for linking them, that big tech companies are increasingly getting out of the news business. And I don't blame them.

Yeah, just burn/smoke out the defenders. If you're already in the bottom of the building it's over, just a matter of time when. You can also take the castle apart and cause it to collapse.

An interstate takes a lot of time and effort to build. And yet which side you drive on doesn't matter; it simply needs to be consistent with all the other roads you're connected to. There are plenty of countries that, through hist

Why though? Are you actually paying the full statement balance in time each month this way and this avoiding interest charges? If so, then by paying before the due date you're giving away money unnecessarily, especially with interest r

Oh they know, they just discount it for some reason. Also, as a general rule, libertarians seem to care less for civilization than the rest of us. Hence why they're way more likely to be attracted to self-sufficient/off-the-grid&#

US$1,900/month seems like too high of a floor to pay no taxes on for Argentina. That floor makes more sense for the world's richest countries.

Yup. And work on even a small one-family farm (which all small farmers of all genders would be doing) counts as real work, because the products of that work are sold on the market. But fast forward on some decades, and housewives working st

I have a Pixel 7 Pro that I was pretty excited to get, mainly for the 5X optical zoom lens. First time I've had anything like that on a phone. Super nice!

You missed the point; you aren't changing time zones while snorkeling, but you are still wearing the watch. The point is you don't have your phone with you while snorkeling so you have to check the time on your watch, and because

I mean, they do if they're watering their lawns and that's where their water is coming from.

I mean, yes, if you're wearing a watch, it's obviously because you want to be able to tell the time with a simple glance at your wrist, rather than having to pull your phone out of your pocket. Plus watches are waterproof, and you

But sea salt hasn't gone up 3X in price. You have to look at actual market rates, not the arbitrary price being charged by one single store that's raising prices because they can (and which they'll do for any product). Sear

The price is already just about as low as it's reasonably going to go, with the price being dominated by factors unrelated to the actual production of the salt. Your average person consumes under ten grams of salt per day. The market

Only some of it comes back through the sewage system. A lot of it just ends up lost to evaporation, or being incorporated into products. Think about your typical use of water to irrigate farmland (which is the majority use of water in man

It's useful while traveling across time zones. You'd lose a lot more time if you had to hack it while changing the local time setting.

Nota bene, a GMT does hack in the second crown position, so you can set it accurately to the second. And independent jumping hours is super useful while traveling across time zones. It's a complication, in the same way that hacking its

Reporting a bug is a lot less credit than debugging and fixing a bug. He did the latter, even if his exact fix didn't end up being the one merged into the repo. Generally most of the work occurs after a bug is reported, as it did here.

You got a source for that? They've had MiGs donated by other Eastern European countries as well.

HN really needs to add "No AI generated comments" to the site rules. I'm not interested in reading AI summaries in comments here; I come for actual discussion by real people.

The accusations are older, but they picked up a lot of steam recently to the point I'm sure he got a bunch of media inquiries asking for comment. That's what tipped him off that it was about to become a big deal and triggered his
