Bloomberg has got to be kidding with the three popups all blocking each other. Can't read this.

Sufficient thinness was reached like ten years ago. Imagine the battery life we could have.

I once got a fake Colgate toothpaste. The printing was weird and it was liquidy, and half full.

I bought a Kershaw Leek from the Kershaw store on Amazon last month. I received a knife that was clearly used, it was dull, dirty, and scratched.

Should be easy enough to track hand proximity to sensitive areas and issue an auto ban. Hopefully permanent.

Yep, and Google will fail to foresee practical needs and cancel the project in less than five years.

But at least we're not under a Republican mayor and all those racist policing policies that... completely cleaned up the city.

37.5, which is 75 percent of half, I would say "nearly" half puts the education of the people very close to average.

My favorite fake statistic in this article is "and nearly half have a college degree." They're trying to frame that paragraph to say the people are educated, and if you read it quickly it comes off that way, instead of "

Hamilton was workshopped for a very long time and then had a long Off Broadway run at The Public Theatre where additional changes were made. A huge amount of money went into it because of the trust that Lin Manuel had generated with previou

When someone's still alive, it always sounds a little weird to say they're the greatest of all time. But among those who care, there will be those who were alive when Steven Sondheim lived, and those who came after. What an incomp

I found Dune hard to get into, although I loved the film. But I think we're getting into just differences of opinion, so firm handshakes all around. I'm glad there's more out there to read every day!

Strange list- almost totally made up of weird, unapproachable stuff, and then also Andy Weir and Ted Chiang. I'm not knocking it, but these are edge case titles, certainly not what I would say everyone should read. Except Ted, who&#x27

It's great to say they're 100% occupied, but it's very unclear by what. The example given is that the second floor of the former Nordstrom is now a vaccine clinic. So how does income compare?

So they're banning structures made of 100% biodegradable material that offsets carbon as it grows and is planted exclusively for this purpose, in favor of concrete and steel? Interesting.

We do put money and effort into protecting them just because. But committees sit around and think, "here's a way we can further justify and generate some press." How much human effort is wasted by group politics and general s

Clear case of self defense. Glad to see the system working.

In my field professor of practice means you have to a bunch of crap work for the department and you're not getting tenure or seniority.

The article brings up the massive amount of immigrants Russia is pushing at Poland through Belarus, but says that is believed to be unrelated. Well it wouldn't be so unrelated if either those migrants get the idea to flee back toward R

Even allies conduct espionage against each other. One of the major activities is gaining or creating blackmail material in order to influence policy. Do this enough, and you can essentially control a country, even one as powerful as the US.

This is nuts. Hacker News keeps me thinking about smart people's opinions about everything that's going on today. He wishes he was playing chess instead, a fun game, but one that is more a competition of raw processing power and m

Its very hard to get contractors to work with materials today. So you can have some factory create panels of steel and glass, and the contractor can have (relatively) unskilled cheap labor snap them into place. That's a lot of construc

They say a camel is a horse designed by committee. Great features, but ugly, slow, and mean.

This misses a big point: highly skilled craftsmanship will never again be affordable on an architectural scale. So we'll have it again when it can all be done by machine. It costs human lives to build a Notre Dame, both in deaths and i

You're correct, that's why I posted it. Who are you addressing in your comment? Thanks.

Yeah, it's gaudy. If you want cheery that everyone agrees on except architects and city planners, you go with detailed neoclassical-ish brick buildings. Beautiful, homey, charming, relaxing. Natural materials and colors with time teste
