   Reminds me of back when Twitter was getting popular and everyone realized "twatted" was no longer an appropriate term.

   Is it bothering anyone else that several of the images are incorrectly labeled? The female Micro B is clearly a male Micro B and the female Lightning appears to be the female end of a Micro B to Type C converter.

   Yeah, but don't you need just a handful of specialized sensors for 100% coverage? To my knowledge solar storms are massive phenomena that are effectively homogeneous over areas hundreds or even thousands of miles wide.

   What I wonder is if that would be a good thing, at least from a selfish standpoint. Wechat is gaining traction in Western markets.

   Ok, so with that amount of money it isn't going to be the Soviet Lord of the Rings. The question still remains as to whether it's going to be over-exploited garbage like the Hobbit trilogy.

   Not everything on HN is user-facing. For example, one comment can only sink to -4 points, but further downvotes on that comment still contribute to the user being muted. I've experienced that myself.

   But of course Apple is happy to have a Twitter app and a browser that lets you watch porn all day. The level of hypocrisy is astounding.

   So this will come in handy the day you get robbed after forgetting to charge your phone and decide you'd rather carry on with your afternoon rather than go to the police and then back home. In all seriousness, I forget my wallet more o

    We also found that the average person who shifted from car to bike for just one day a week cut their carbon footprint by 3.2kg of CO₂ – equivalent to the emissions from driving a car for 10km, eating a serving of lamb or chocolate, or send

    Yahoo Answers served as a social network for kids shortly after chatroom culture died. It was particularly the home of underrepresented and oppressed groups, like LGBT youth and minority religions. I spent time there as a teenager and saw a

    I remind you that we can't even build a telescope for less than twenty times the initial price tag and four times the initial development time. The closest we're going to come to starting Mars terraforming in the next decade is i

    I enjoyed that but the technical bits were kind of cringey. The idea we're only ten years away from being able to scan every synapse in a living brain is like saying we're ten years away from terraforming Mars.

    Sometimes I wonder how different things would've been if Gates had kept an active role. Would we be using Windows 9 now? Would you not have to spend five minutes doing something you can do in Windows 7 in ten seconds, like adding a s

    Look up almost any genocide or mass killing of the 20th century, even the late 20th century, and see how nobody outside the area gave a damn. Pre-WW2, you've got millions exterminated in the Congo Free State. The Ottoman Empire killed

    Teeth aren't just pushed out. The roots are dissolved as the adult tooth erupts under the baby tooth. This treatment has a very long way to go.

    It codes for one protein, and experiments have turned it on and off in other animals. Turning it off benefited humans by increasing the amount of fructose stored as fat during a time when climate change reduced the availability of fruit. I

    A minor point, Jesus has anger issues a number of times in the Bible, not just with the moneylenders. As an example, the time he got mad at a tree for not having fruit and cursed it to never bear fruit again.

    The stand-out thing to me is that the RTX 3070 only comes with 8GB of RAM. The GTX 1070 I bought five years ago with an MSRP $100 less than the 3070 (and that I was able to purchase at MSRP ) has 8GB of RAM. The GPU I bought five years b

    It's very strange these days to see headlines about a self-driving setback and be happy about it. I always wanted it as a kid but ever since someone pointed out to me that self-driving cars is the end of personal car ownership I hope

    Long hours are often the result of excessive bureaucracy and long meetings, and the expectation that you'll go out for dinner (maybe not everyday, but regularly enough) with your peers as a form of social bonding at the end of the day
