This headline is factually incorrect and doesn't match the original article as well. They're protesting against F1, not for it.

I think the point is that the protests may not be reflective of local opinions. Not whether HN should have an opinion on it.

For what it's worth, MDPI has a lot of criticisms from academia as a publisher. Criticisms regarding editorial reliability, methodology acceptance, rigour, etc, etc. Here's just a smattering: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

I'm not an expert on this stuff at all, so assume I'm stupid and ignorant when I write the following. As I understand it, HIV has actually been useful to develop a delivery mechanism for some therapies that have excellent potentia

When we were purchasing a clothes washer and dryer, Samsung had a special promotion. The sales rep at the store told us that the Samsung machines got the most complaints and she would recommend the LG machines. But we wanted that promotion,

What is fascinating to me about technical people is the particular subculture that sincerely believes that technology will solve the people problem. I recently got into a long thread argument with someone on HN about this. The person was ad

Only one of those sectors would justify the act. This is a case of not caring about collateral damage. Most of us will not be in a position to say whether or not the collateral damage was acceptable in order to attain the goal. But we can&#

Having watched full screen replacements, button replacements, and battery replacements on my iPhone, I suppose I don't understand why one wouldn't just wait the extra 5 minutes to get the issue resolved. Repairs can get done reall

What hardware repair would require handing over your passcode? If it's to test that the phone is working fine after the repair, can't you test it yourself in front of them before you pay? If they were doing software repairs, what

As a non-physicist and non-chemist who keeps running into quantum mechanics only through headlines, extra thanks for pointing this out. It's quite obvious in retrospect to acknowledge that quantum mechanics is the physics of chemistry,

I imagine the insane traffic volume in NYC also incentivizes more aggressive driving. There's a higher trip time penalty for not making the turn, compared to a city with less jammed roads. This matters for people who need to make appoi

So out of curiosity, are Americans not taught to stop at a red light and check their right-side mirror and blind spot for cyclists or pedestrians before turning right on a red light? Because I certainly was taught that when I signed up for

Sure, except Americans may also have a weird obsession with driving that makes them oblivious to pedestrians, whereas many other nations may be more aware of pedestrians and thus have fewer fatalities per capita. I have no data to back up s

I don't think that's something the roads prioritize. That's something that the drivers choose to do. A better word might be that roads afford or allow drivers to prioritize speed. I've been in cities where drivers do

Look, you're not able to say how you would get subpar organizations to solve internal system problems. I see what's happening here. You're restricting all your technology examples and use cases to those where organizations ne

I suppose the cynic would argue that if they didn't have this billing practice, they may have survived. Which the other cynic would say is the problem, are businesses being too subsidized by unethical billing?

I don't know what to say here. You don't understand the issues and you refuse to believe that such issues exist. We should agree to disagree. But I'll give it one last stab. You can't just drop an Instagram-like app into

I remember in grade... 3? a kid at school was showing me books from the library about how to make a game in Basic. Then one day he finally had it going. It was amazing to see. I can't remember what it was, but it would have been the si

You fail to address the issue that none of these resolve the issue that people still don't follow best practices. This is especially true the further one is from best practices. The reason why cryptography is significantly better is no

Well, the joke was about whether humans keep evolving into crabs, but I think I crashed the joke's landing. :)

And yet we still have people out there trying to create their own cryptography when the golden rule is to not roll your own crypto. For whatever reason, best practices don't get followed 100% of the time, even if they exist. For crypto

For a car? A car will definitely not outlast most viable companies. What if it's cars for a car rental company? I believe the car would be a core company asset then. But if you don't label it as revenue, what DO you label it as? I

You got a better way to explain the transactions? If you're saying the transactions should be illegal, there are plenty of scenarios where these transactions wouldn't be weird or horrible. How to differentiate which are OK and whi
