I agree, I'm sure there are cases where UBI would enable people to move, I just don't think it's going to be a big paradigm shift/massive migration/stir the melting pot kind of thing.

A lot of people rely on friends as non-monetary resources. If I get locked out of my car right now I'll call a family member to bring me a spare key. If my car is acting up I have a friend that will look at it for me. I do a lot of

I don't buy this answer. If the shift button is three actions then the capslock is four. Shift: Press -> hold -> release Lock: Press -> release -> press -> release Both cases require timing. I'm not convinced he&#

I don't doubt the report that Wrona is using caps lock instead of shift, but it baffles me. How did he manage to make that faster? I only use left shift, which is pretty similar except he has to hit twice as many keys to accomplish t

I've been searching relentlessly for a qwerty chording solution that works for me. I was hoping to find something useful here, but there's only a couple of Wikipedia links that I've already scoured through. QMK firmware see

After about 2 years the screen on my Lenovo laptop started flickering. I opened up the laptop to re-seat the connection from the screen to the motherboard, this seemed to help a little bit at the time but it's becoming progressively w

The group of people who apply at GameStop is self selecting in a way that could create "trusted advisors", but the corporation undermines this by pressuring them to upsell useless garbage.

I once ordered a 20' cable on Amazon, a 10' was delivered. I double checked my order to make sure I wasn't the one who had made a mistake, then returned my 10' in exchange for a 20'. They sent me another 10'

I agree, I'm glad to see him on HN. Brad is great for beginners, and I still use him for my "how to I get some boilerplate up and running" type things for languages and frameworks I'm not familiar with.

I've been considering leaving Gmail for a privacy focused email service but it seems so difficult to switch. So many accounts and services have my Gmail registered, I don't think I could collect them all. Can anybody using Proto

I'm really not interested in the opinion of an English major on the subject, unless they're also familiar with linguistics or they've learned a foreign language to a high level. This is a heuristics issue monolingual English

> English is considered a very difficult language to master due to the inconsistencies in it, as well as the different ways you can pronounce any given letter. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. The writer hedges this statement with the p

Thanks for this! I was conscientious of accessibility but it looks like I need to review some of the strictly semantic elements. That link is just what I needed.

That's a good point. I was assuming the old hard drive was loaded on old equipment but that's not necessarily the case.

I joined a salsa class about 9 months ago and my life has changed drastically because of it. Salsa is a partner dance, so improving my skills gave me the confidence to be more social. Since the salsa scene in my town is modestly sized the

I agree I think it's a neat project, however you can't say that it's not a solution to anything. The introduction describes a thief snatching and running with your laptop just after you've logged in to your online bank

I wasn't introduced to programming through BASIC so I can't speak to your analogy, but I believe you've taken me to say "hiding complexity is wrong." I don't think any point that I've made can be interpre

I don't agree that this is an improved notation at all. It has its advantages, it highlights the physical distance between notes in a uniform way across key signatures. But it obscures harmonic function, which is much more important

I agree, discussing the benefits of Just Intonation when somebody asks for an intro to music theory is like starting a programming student off with building their own compiler.

Likewise, there's not much need for developing a strong sense of direction now that we've outsourced that to map-apps.

I think Harris's perspective is more like, "There's some good stuff here if you ignore the mystic bullshit." That's my take on it, and the message I get behind. I don't care if the person who introduced it ha

It reminds me of paperclips too. I opened it just to check it out. It was so simple that every few clicks I could discover a new few-clicks, and the next thing I know I've been clicking away for a couple of hours.

I might be understanding this differently (perhaps incorrectly). I lived in Russia, and I left with a very strong model in my mind that Russian_people != Russian_government. I don't think this is related to trusting foreign nationals
