I always use self-checkout. It's faster (multiple servers, single queue), and works very well for me. Yes, you may need to learn some stores' quirks, but that's the same as with any user interface

I wonder if any early rock climbers used the sort of wood blocks to install pitons as Fred uses (most visible in Part 1). It seems like the wood blocks make the pitons a bit less destructive.

Laplace, Z, and Fourier transforms are all useful in studying systems with feedback. I'm an electrical engineer, and am not sure that I have used a Laplace transform since university, but I sure have thought about feedback and the sta

The subtitle of the article is "For the sake of research, their careers, and their mental health, scientists should spend more time developing software" That's fine to say, unfortunately many scientists are at academic instit

I have worked on synchronization, and couldn't figure out what the article wants to say. If you're interested in the topic, read Wikipedia articles about NTP [1] or clock signal [2] and articles linked from them. [1] https:&#x2F

If getting to LEO is "halfway to anywhere in the solar system" [1], then what is getting from GEO to a Lagrange point or to the moon? Let's say that you want to go to the moon, then does this spaceline save 25% of your fuel?

If I needed a truck, I would definitely buy a Rivian. It looks like it can actually be a good truck (as opposed to the Tesla), and also looks good.

Yeah, when I said 3.5 GHz, I meant CBRS [1], which is a US thing. I do think that other countries will have similarly-open bands, even if they don't match exactly. I.e. bands that you don't need to pay a license to use. [1] htt

I'd love some stats on people who leave various religions. For example is a person leaving Mormonism more likely to become atheist (like Lane) or more likely to pick up another religion? Is the percentage of ex-mormons who become ath

It sounds to me like you want an inexpensive basestation and a fully-open source software stack (at all layers) to run on it. And you want to set it up to run in a open band like 3.5 GHz. I like this vision! BTW, WiMax is obsolete :-)

My bias is also to think that social science degrees are not as useful as technical degrees. My guess is that we'd be much better off in adding real science (including some humility) to those degrees, rather than abolishing them. I&#

There's another trending HN article [1] that implies that meditation makes one more self-centered. I'd love a study which looks at whether medication makes users more or less self-centered [1] https://news.ycombinator.c
