Something related to this that I've been thinking about. We all have kind of a story of ourselves and our life through various memories that make a picture of who we are. But if you ever meet up with someone you haven't seen for 2

This is really neat. It'd be so easy to do a version of the "infamous Dropbox comment" on this ("you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting a MIDI cable, an audio interface, and a raspberry P

Reminds me of in 2004-2005, I had my typical Hotmail account with 4MB storage, but Microsoft was rolling out a free upgrade for everyone to 250MB. For some reason they were taking an incredibly long time with my account, and I emailed suppo

The full poem is also in the article. (sorry to be That Person, but I'm really hoping Hacker News doesn't eventually become like Reddit where the comments are almost completely divorced from the content of the article).

Plus of course, you'd be allowed to swap out the pedestrian-warning spacehip noise that EVs make at low speeds with a synth creation of your own.

That's fair, it's certainly very USA-centric (although they should still call it "Wait Until 9th"!).

Weirdly the site actually clarifies that they mean end of 8th grade at the earliest, so more like 14-15 I think.

Agreed 100%. Additional factors on top of all those is some countries start year 1 at age five, and others at age 6, and of course there's a variety of actual ages within a grade as well. "Wait Until 9th" would have definitel

That's a nice little aphorism. I think this happens in a lot of things in life. Like comments on Reddit always seem quite insightful until you actually read the article they're commenting on.

Honestly, I'd never expect it get 'correct's for every little fact like this, but it'd be great to get a lot more 'not attempted'. "I seem, then, in just this little thing to be wiser than this man at any

There's a similar problem with the word "cleave" which can mean both cut apart or stick together.

I used to have a cheap Acer keyboard that had two USB ports in the back, so it acted as a little bonus USB hub that you could plug extra stuff into. Great for quick USB drive transfers; you could even plug in your mouse there. For a second

Just a note to the web designer: The footnote links don't account for the fixed header, so the page always ends up with the footnote hidden behind the header when the user clicks one. Needs an 89 pixel offset.

The only thing I would say against this is that sometimes that kind of curiosity can help the business itself as well. For example imagine a situation similar to the post except that it's someone's job to manually write the equ

Yeah, they don't recognise it - or at least Shazam doesn't.

While we're here, does anyone happen to recognize the camel's tune? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKpD-KkaBHc We never worked it out.

They could have told him that though if it's the case, and the mystery would be solved. But there obviously wasn't any desire (or more charitably - time) on their end to really look into the reasoning or even understand the questi

Sometimes silly stuff stays around for years because there isn't anyone obstinate enough to question it. Good to have a little check on reality every now and then.

I think you make a good point in general, but the Ikea TILLREDA microwave might be a better example of cheap and simple: https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/p/tillreda-microwave-oven-white-6... That one you linked has

I'm not sure why your comment is currently downvoted, you're not claiming it was anything but random luck and it's a funny story. Thanks for sharing.

I love the stats. I wonder what kind of business actually needs something like 1,800lb of cooked bacon per hour.

Great article. I thought it was particularly interesting that there are two approved frequencies for microwaves, and apparently the longer-wavelength 915MHz option provides much deeper heat penetration (~4cm vs. ~1.5cm) that better avoids

Almost all of the discussion over on Reddit is regarding the morality of the situation, but I thought this was even more interesting from a technological and societal perspective. An early real-world story (if it's true, at least) wher

Does the heater only project the heat forward? Or is it also projecting heat back into the wall that it's lying up against?
