Have you been there? I really don’t think Russia has it figured out better than the US. Russia’s infrastructure is certainly not close to the level of Europe/Japan or China.

Rotary engines typically end up in smaller aircraft, like kit-planes and such. But yes, I've heard the rx-8 uses one.

Some of the discussion in this thread has brought to light some interesting things. 1) Where is the line for what is socially acceptable to do in public? 2) If a line exists, why does it exist where it does? 3) Should there be a standard th

There was a good podcast with a famous FBI negotiator, Chris Voss, who recommends if you want to sway someone, frame it as, "are you opposed to doing X?" rather than "should we do X?". People are more likely to agree wit

Troy is an awesome guy and I’m really happy that HIBP is outgrowing him to get more support, datasets, and features. I hope Have I Been Pwned goes to the right people and they do an even better job at moving it forward! Kudos Troy

I really enjoyed this story! The best part is people like to think this loop hole is easy “profit”. No one pointed out the fact that they would go on 10 day benders buying/sorting/etc. to get the profit! Even this loop hole for ea

Possibly, but there are a lot of people unlike yourself that don’t feel a major pressure to work, some might continue but there would be more currently employed people that would choose not to work as much, than currently unemployed people

I like the idea of those things. However, this is HN, and full of people that would try to be productive/creative for society if they had a safety net that allowed them to pursue awesome endeavors. Many people work to earn money, not t

For those interested, Schwab has one of the best modern banking experiences. For those of us that like to travel a lot (ATM withdrawals, foreign transactions, etc.) Schwab is awesome. There are no minimums, fees, foreign transaction fees, a

I do agree that news channels rarely cover the statistically significant story such as motor vehicle deaths, etc. However, I think their coverage pattern has a lot more to do with their incentive to maximize their own profit and tell the mo

Should people be surprised by that? Turn on any major news channel and you will instantly see evidence that bad news sells better than good news. Newspapers are businesses and most have a simple equation in mind when deciding what content t

Very true. I forget that parents were the original harbingers of the danger of the web and now, IMHO are the prime target for fake news and click bait.

What I don’t understand is how the Starlink satellites will connect to network clients. For instance, if you connect your phone to Starlink, does your phone have antennas powerful enough to propagate signal back into low earth orbit?? I can

Glad to hear from another survivor of Dr. Patts class. I took him for intro to computing first semester of college with no programming experience and I got wrecked by his class, but most of the content has stuck with me up through my career

I have been resistant to the idea of government/state support for people who are losing jobs to automation, because I think people will adjust over the long run and focus on more digital jobs. However, in the nearer term, there does se

I believe this is what is referred to as central Sweden because it lies in the middle of Sweden's two major cities, Stockholm and Gothenburg. Similarly, Austin is considered Central Texas, Dallas is considered North Texas, etc. even th

Is there major legitimacy to the state sponsored back doors in Huawei, or has the company just become some sort of pawn in the trade war?

Keybase is a really cool application regardless of Stellar, so don’t be deterred by the comments! Free, encrypted git repos and file storage as well as ID assertion and chat.

I agree with the general idea. In your experience, when has Amazon acted negatively towards the welfare of the consumer? The point I was talking about has to do with the internal labor publicity at Amazon which rarely affects the consumer.
