What's the story here? Is this an unusually-high number of maneuvers that's resulting in excess fuel usage and shortened lifespan? Orphan statistics are worthless. I make dozens of collision-avoidance maneuvers in my half-hour dri

Can you do visual hypotheticals? Like if I asked you to, say, imagine an apple with black and white zebra-striped skin, could you tell me if it would look appetizing or not? If asked to imagine a crocodile wearing a wig, could you tell me w

Linux security will never stop feeling weird to me. Like when I try to do something that needs to be started with sudo, instead of warning me and just asking me if I want to run the command as root, I have to go back and input it again with

Yes, but it doesn't need to apply anywhere else for people everywhere to be able to access the software. It only needs one place where it can be openly worked on.

A decade ago, archaeologists would have been completely flabbergasted to find evidence that people were living in North America 18,000 years ago. At that point, the oldest evidence of people anywhere on the continent dated to around 13,000

And it's a privilege to not be held awake by that question, to not live with that fear in the back of your head 24/7. If fear of the tiny number of police shootings in France is constantly in the back of your head, either you ar

A cop shot an unarmed teenager in the face point blank. So he wouldn't get away. Putting aside whether Nahel was a threat to pedestrians, the officer in question was apprehended and charged. That's the system working.

I've had people be confused in conversations where I've confirmed I strongly dislike a thing/person/site, yet do not wish at all to see it banned or deplatformed. The day's not over until you've been called a

Because they called it pizza and modern pizza is a direct descendant of it.

Therefore, the question is not what decision the social-media company would have made, but whether the Government “so involved itself in the private party’s conduct” that the decision is essentially that of the Government. The government

Do implied threats count as coercion? Does a threatening tone? Does someone in a position of power making demands they don't actually have the power to enforce count as coercion? I don't know. The judge seems to think they do.

I don't see why one's judgment of the situation should depend on whether the government was successful in intimidating Facebook. What matters is that they tried.

I don't doubt many of the performers are deriving sexual satisfaction from the performance, but as long as the performance itself is not sexual it isn't harming children. Don't get me wrong, I think "Drag Queen Story Hou

Is anyone on the right arguing for any speech restriction? Yes. Restrictions on what teachers are allowed to teach are restrictions on freedom of speech. Restrictions on non-sexual drag performances are restrictions of freedom of speech.

It's become quite rare for me to see people who defend speech they don't agree with, and rarer still any speech they find repugnant. It isn't liberty vs authority anymore; it's just team red and team blue. One might be w

Multiple Firefox developers have commented in posts about Firefox. They read HN. I remind them that their choices are still causing grief to their users, at least as long as Firefox has any users left.

As if we needed yet another reminder Firefox doesn't respect its users' extension choices, after their crippling of Firefox Mobile and the earlier expired certificate debacle.

Almost all can be referred to as female. I most often hear "it" rather than "she" That's what I said, "when given a gender".

I do not understand why, as many answers as they received, none of them pointed out that almost all inanimate objects in English are referred to as female when given a gender. An English speaker would say "oh yeah that old table saw,

I'm all in favor of big subreddits protesting. What I don't like is that very small, slow subreddits are also protesting when doing so is likely to be fatal. Each of these small communities barely came about in the first place, an
