Every time I watch Ikiru, the scene with the piano where the protagonist sings "Life is Brief" in a low voice always tears at my heartstrings. He sings it with such conviction that everyone stops their festivities just for a secon

You can purchase it from the Criterion Collection: https://www.criterion.com/films/353-ikiru Not only did they restore it, there are extras like a commentary track, documentaries on Kurosawa and Ikiru itself, and some

One reason not mentioned is that you can actually replace the disk drive with a caddy to put in another hard drive. I replaced mine with an SSD. I also upgraded the RAM so I could finally appease Chrome because I would get a lot of swapping

Umm you're right that whoever cares more will usually win, but edit warring is a quick way to get yourself banned. There's a talk page right next to the "Read" tab. Use it and come to a consensus like a reasonable person

Ownership of articles is exactly what †hey was complaining about though. And content forks are a logistical nightmare; how do you track, diff, and merge all those different changes when needed? You'd think with stuff like git it's

Same thing for the history. Chrome's history forces you to view it page by page just to find something from a while back while Firefox will gladly let you view the history per month. It also makes removing items a huge pain because you

Very well said and I strongly agree. What's the worse is that highly legitimate sites that existed for years get domain parked after shutting down and become suddenly inaccessible. Maybe for sites like that they can make the archives b

I do get those for some of their stuff like books and some movies. If you mean results from the Wayback Machine, those likely aren't indexed due to copyright issues

Age itself doesn't really matter but I think having birth and death dates listed is really important because it tells you: 1) If the person is still living and 2) what era they lived in. Listing the age is just a natural byproduct of h

Now that I think about it it does let them take preliminary action before something happens and talk to the owner. So it's not as bad as I thought.

How does registration solve the problem of people flying in airspace though? It sounds to me like this would only be used after the fact to find out who was responsible.

by cooper12 11y ago
Does the FAA have a track record of doing the same? You have to consider that most people flying these will be enthusiasts doing it for a hobby and they might not be aware of all the regulations or have the resources to handle such a charge

Pretty good read, provides all the context needed and raises some important points about benchmarks. Thanks for sharing.

Gee, thanks dang. Not that I'm opposed to using original titles since that wouldn't be editorializing, but I've always appreciated how receptive to user concerns HN is.

It is true that they did save it; maybe I'm just being overly nitpicky. And yeah, these days the improvised bomb part would have gotten then in huge trouble on its own, though I'm guessing the whole hostage situation was dealt wit

I don't particularly like the title the NYT chose. The kidnapping ended when the protestors chose it to end. That, and the fact that when it mentions the occupation, you would think they used math to do it, when in fact it was hardly r

Well it could have been conveyed better by talking about how ignoring the names doesn't accomplish something or is an immature approach. A discussion could have been had. A brash response, along with an image of a man with his head in

I think it's because they need a repo before they can start collaborating, so it's best to set it up ASAP to allow people to start pushing code. In my opinion it also helps to set up the initial repo right away so you can benefit
