I was mildly put off at being made to watch a video to find out what something is when it could be adequately explained in the description of the video itself. I clicked out after about 30 seconds, at which point I still didn't have an

You hated it because it had a mean character in it? Your prerogative, I suppose. I thought it was a fantastic movie, despite not liking every person in it.

Yeah, this article is over two months old. Weird submission.

At one Russian mall, at least. You can bet that elsewhere - and probably in 99% of Russia - this is not and will not be the case. But kudos to Dislife for raising awareness of the issue and getting some press.

Fortunately though it's at the top of the article, so you've scrolled past it almost immediately, right?

Agreed. Reddit is, unfortunately, a cesspool now for many reasons.

Seems like just desserts after Airbus appeared to have pressured Siemens to withdraw its engine from an attempt by rivals Pipistrel, thus scuppering their chances of being the first. Siemens, it turned out, are going to be working with Airb

And occasionally it still can be - the odd nugget of outside analysis and opinion from anyone but "Tyler," mainly. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Zero Hedge these days too, but mainly for entertainment value than anything actual

I'm pleased for DO. Seems like a decent company doing things well. I've never had a complaint with their services.

Yeah, but that is Zero Hedge's audience though: the upper echelon, rarified air, pure-bred market conspiracy theorist. What surprised me is seeing it start to creep in HN in such a volume.

Your sharing links at the bottom of each strain appear broken for me, intermittently. Firefox Dev Edition 41.0a2.

Well, one thing this has done is bring the paranoid out of the woodwork. I've rarely seen such a display of tinfoil hattery on HN as I have done in the last few days.

It really is a very poor article.

Indeed, the current link seems to just be Atlas Obscura engaging in some churnalism and regurgitating existing articles on the subject. Apropos of not much, the account that posted the current link a) is new, and b) has posted nothing but A

I'm sure there's money in recycling/reusing the rare and expensive metals and components of now-defunct satellites, but I think it would probably encounter a) resistance from the owners of those satellites if it's not ju

Do you mean the ones in geostationary orbit above the equator? If so: "A geostationary orbit can only be achieved at an altitude very close to 35,786 km (22,236 mi), and directly above the Equator. This equates to an orbital velocity o

Yes, I remember JTrack! Great to see it 'get an update' in the form of this new site.

If not that, then something equally as groan-inducing.

Surprising to see such a contrived marketing gimmick working on so many people. Actually, maybe it's not that surprising... For those who want to see what's behind the curtain, here's your spoiler: https://www.yout

No matter how many times I read about the death penalty in America, I just can't wrap my head around the fact that it still exists, that the powers that be kill their own citizens in such a way. It's so incredibly horrifying to me

Results to paywalled sites served through Google News tend to be un-paywalled even on articles that are usually locked down. I can't say for certain this is the case for all, but it certainly is for the FT.

Thank you. It's great to see you taking feedback from the community.

I would be careful about "guaranteeing 100% anonymity" too. I think that would very quickly not be the case should law enforcement get involved after your service is used to send threatening messages to someone it shouldn't.

Eric Schlosser's 'Command & Control' is a fascinating and very readable look at nuclear accidents and almost-accidents. Recommended if you're interested in this area.
