Those AGA stoves do indeed look great. This was a few months ago so my memory is a bit hazy, but I believe the prices for the smaller 24" cast iron stoves were around $3000, which I found to be pricey. The AGA cast iron stoves in that

Can anyone with knowledge offer their opinion on how allowing more permissive repairs to something like an iPhone would impact it's security? Would allowing the use of third party replacements parts weaken security? What about genuine

>Apart from the looks I'm pretty sure the main reason is aesthetics. And to be clear, I only saw fridges and stoves/ranges, no washing machines or dishwashers. There are actually quite a lot of very nice smaller MCM homes in th

Well, that was kind of my point. I doubt many fridges break because the metal corrodes or the doors fall off. A fridge is made of quite a bit of material that isn't comprised of the cooling system, and it seems like a shame to throw it

by Inconel 9y ago
You're right, I hadn't considered that. This thread makes me curious how hard replacing and modernizing the cooling system of an older fridge would be.

by Inconel 9y ago
Speaking of fridges, they along with other large appliances, seem like the perfect products for repair rather than replacement. I imagine that most fridges that stop working do so because of the cooling system. Yet fridges, especially the h

Regarding your last point, do you think a land value tax[1] might be able to mitigate some of the issues you raise? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax

I always try to live as close to work as possible so living in an apartment on a corporate campus actually sounds pretty appealing to me but can you expand on why you think it sounds awful? I'm not dismissing your view, I just want to

It definitely wasn't legal. But I was desperate.

That was probably a bit of hyperbole on the poster's part, but as an example I once had to work for free for a week in order to secure a minimum wage job washing dishes. I had no formal dishwashing experience and had to prove I could a

Your point about having video evidence brings up an interesting question for me, how does the HN community generally feel about pervasive workplace surveillance? It seems based on some of the articles I've read about harassment, that m

I think a policy of having more than one person present in these kinds of meetings, especially if they are off site or after working hours, is certainly a good way to mitigate any risk as well as ensure everyone is still receiving the suppo

I know it's not polite to ask about downvotes on HN but I'm also unsure why you where so quickly downvoted. I personally don't feel the same way you do, but I also don't think you said anything rude or outlandish. As a s

I'm going to expand on your comment a bit with regards to the whole "creepiness" thing. I think it's very important to realize just how difficult it can sometimes be to manage professional and personal relationships. I t

I'm not sure I would consider your advice on never initiating non-business related small talk to be so bullet proof, particularly when we get into issues of "creepiness", which is a term that isn't often well defined or

by Inconel 9y ago
I agree. Although to be fair, I think there is somewhat of a difference between saying "your experience is valid, though it may be an outlier" vs discounting the experience altogether.

If possible, can you go into more depth on how these apprenticeships work? I haven't really heard of many people doing them, which doesn't necessarily mean anything since I'm not in the legal field, but are they generally wel

Out of curiosity, what do you find lacking in the third party HN apps? I use Materialistic on Android and find it to be pretty great.

Considering how big the EU market is I'm sure the profit Google derives from it is many times this judgement.

Sorry I'm typing from mobile so my posts may be even less informative than usual. The main thing that the SSME has to do that's different from the Merlins is quite simply generate more thrust and a higher specific impulse. The SSM

Apologies again for not understanding, but I’m unsure exactly what you’re asking with the question why was this the case with space shuttles . With regards to the SSME, the SSME is an engineering marvel, but it is significantly more comple

So this exchange is veering dangerously close to me going full on SpaceX shill mode, which I have no desire to do, one for the good of the HN community as I don't think that would be appreciated here, but also for the simple fact that

I don't mean to be evasive, but there are a couple of reasons why I'm uncomfortable answering such direct questions that may involve internal procedures: 1. I'm not nearly knowledgable enough about the overall refurb process

I don't always have the best reading comprehension but this seems somewhat cryptic. I don't have time to watch a movie at the moment but what was the perspective you gained from it? Also, I'm always a sucker for a good space

I'm just a low level cog in the wheel here, but hearing things like that is certainly very nice. I wouldn't sell yourself short though, rocket launches tend to make for good press, and often make the front page of HN, but anyone w

Disclaimer: I work at SpaceX as a technician. Certainly manned missions have an added element of concern due to the risk to human life, but even unmanned failures have consequences beyond bad PR for those involved in the launch. This isn&#x

From my understanding, the type of parachutes necessary for this, and the associated hardware needed for their safe deployment, are quite heavy and complicated.
