Supposedly one past extinction event killed off all dinosaurs, leaving rats and other small mammals to take over the world. Dragonflies used to have like two foot or four foot wings spans. Now their relatively small and presumably play a ve

Nature doesn't do selective breeding. "Survival of the fittest" means "whatever doesn't die, wins." First you need things capable of not dying in x circumstances. After adversity kills everything else, you have

I tried to edit my comment and missed the edit window. I was looking at the wrong sub. R/programming is currently 6.5m, which doesn't matter because it doesn't invalidate my statement about the last time I checked. If you wan

Yes, it's extremely hard to get an apples to apples comparison of data across different platforms. I do my best to account for that. I remain mystified by people who compare HN size as a community to Reddit or Facebook or Twitter (ak

Funny I just looked and Reddit says r/programming is 4.1m which last I checked is less than the 5 million unique visitors HN was getting a few years ago when I last saw stats by the moderator and I don't know what it's at now

It really depends on a lot of factors but I generally agree that many people vastly overestimate the time savings of taking a car. And that's before we get into questions like "How many of your hours of paid work are required to m

Transient: a person who is staying or working in a place for only a short time. I don't think most people mean someone is only temporarily homeless when they call them transients.

I wish public transit served homeless people as well as a lot of folks like to imagine it does. A lot of homeless aren't "transients." They aren't just passing through. If we had excellent public transit to make it eas

Wetlands do a better job of carbon sequestration than trees. Globally, we've lost 85 percent of our wetlands since the 1700s. Maybe we should restore them.

It's not really that small and I don't know why people say that. Last time I saw stats, it was five million monthly visitors. It's small as a platform. It's smaller than Reddit or Facebook, but those aren't discussi

Organ transplants are "ooh, shiny" headline grabbing medicine. Better healthcare to try to keep your original equipment is boring and gets dismissed as "just lucky." It's hard to prove a connection between x, y z an

Sometimes furniture speaks far more volumes than anyone would like. Mae West was once profiled by some show that went and showed the interiors of homes of celebrities. There was a large mirror or mirrored ceiling or something in her bedroom

It doesn't rot? I mean if it stops being maintained and the lack of updates makes it fatally insecure or something, it can become effectively obsolete. Though I will note I'm agreeing that it's highly unlikely you can put a g
