   I've thought about building a dead man's switch product before, but I realized the immense commitment that such a product entails. It must continue to function for a very long time, and if it fails to function, very important mess

   Question: is it possible to oxygenate blood via IV (similar to how toxins are removed via IV in dialysis)? When babies are in the womb they get oxygen without using their lungs.

    Hipmunk has been my go-to flight site, so I was bummed when I saw the notification that it is shutting down on January 23, 2020. Just thought I'd share the news (since others here might also use it).

    This reminds me of that recent article about how zebra stripes have been shown to reduce bug bites when painted on cows: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21201807 . Probably a similar effect on object detection algorithm

    I'm a very social person (so much so that I wouldn't prefer a private office if I worked in an office), but I still prefer remote work.

    It seems strange to say that "scientific consensus is that these fears are unsubstantiated" (i.e. it's okay to inject Thiomersal into the body), when in the same wikipedia article, it says: "Thiomersal is very toxic by i

    Good example of people being unwilling to consider the facts. Minor nitpick: I'd like us to get away from using "conspiracy theorist" as an always-negative term. The truth is, many conspiracy theories have turned out true (pe

    I ran into "The payment was remitted" at work, and I wasn't sure initially if they said they were denying to reimburse me, or if it the payment had been sent out.

    Here's what's great: all you have to do to make your lawn more bee-friendly is literally nothing. Just stop dumping chemicals on it and flowering "weeds" will grow (which can be beautiful, by the way).

    There are ups and downs as the tide rises. I'm not sure I would call the crests "bubbles".

    In college, I would use computer lab computers as a proxy for my... experiments. I would just load up a small Linux distro from a CD into ram. That way, I could just reboot the computer when done, and it would reboot into Windows.

    The problem isn't that too many people want to travel, but that too many people want to travel to the same places. I generally find the more off-the-beaten-path places more enjoyable.

    I'm curious of the HN crowd's views on this topic. Personally, I have concerns. I don't know any damage would be caused by 5G, but I also don't know it would be damage free. And with something as potentially big as natio
