Does there not have to be some sort of overt mutual acknowledgement that it's that kind of date, in order for it to be "dating"?

I'm an old British person and "dating" does sound kind of American to me. People would "go out" together, which I guess is similar but is more like "starting a relationship" than "trying people out wi

Not sure what you mean by "pseudo-economic value" How is that different from "value"? It's not like people are putting dollar values on their dating prospects, from what I've seen. I get that the "market&q

Can't we say that the labour market is a market, and is unfair to some people, and the dating market is a market, and is unfair to some people? I'd guess that would be the "typical" HN person take, and I don't see a

I think most banks offer 10 year fixes, and there are niche products that are longer. Mine's fixed for 7 years.

Either: 1) So that there can be co-ordinated coverage of it in the media / social media, and it doesn't just become a thing that's "in the public domain" but isn't news; 2) Because it's FUD. Confidently de

The best way I know is something like, open a terminal and do find /usr/share/applications | xargs grep "Name=Text Editor" Then look for the `Exec` line in whatever files it finds. This is obviously terribl

Honestly Bowie already seemed like an "old person" act when I became a fan in the '80s. When Live Aid happened in 1985, a popular take was that it was a bunch of old has-beens trying to revive their careers. Eg. Bowie, McCart

I think it's based on the assumption that USDT was entering a death spiral, which looks to have been premature.

by Joeboy 4y ago
Is it crashing? USDT seems to have recovered its peg, for now, and BTC is trending up since this morning. I admit I was hoping that wouldn't happen.

I guess David Attenborough probably isn't so well-known in the US? It's apparently much harder to get people to show up for something without a big name attached. Edit: > Actress and conservationist Sigourney Weaver was brought

I've been looking at cheap, low-end movie cameras recently like the Blackmagic Pockets, Sigma FP etc. I'm sure this is a naive question but I've been wondering why I can't buy a good sensor module, attach it to a Raspber

> "solve world hunger" I think the idea WFP promised to "solve world hunger" for $6bn originated with Musk or his fans, not with WFP. WFP's original claim was that they'd be able to prevent 42 million people

Cheaper than an actual recording studio for sure, but "poor man's" is overstating it a bit. They were expensive machines.

If you play an F# then a C, does there not seem to be a "relationship" between the notes, that is different from if you play G then C? I think for most people it intuitively makes sense when they hear the notes. To me it sounds li

A few years ago I was quite keen on the idea of this, but at this point it seems a lot like vapourware.

You're not wrong. It's kind of like the FLOSS community was 20 years ago.

To me, it seems like there is potentially quite a good business case for writing l = [None] * 10_000 instead of rewriting parts of your application in C (possibly hiring new staff to do so).
