In Uruguay and other spanish-speaking countries those were called "mecanos" (which, judging by other local customs such as calling sneakers "championes" and bubblegum "chicles" was probably a trade name) and th

Yeah, regarding your comment about people playing music together before, I’m reading “Men, Women, and Pianos” after seeing it mentioned here on HN and it’s a great read about that (obviously centered on keyboard instruments). And regarding

I have both legs, I love music (our home has several musical instruments), and I'd never join a dance club. Glad it works for you but I just wanted to offer another perspective. Also, nitpicking, but you can dance even with just one le

That's an interesting approach though I'd avoid comparing her friends to retarded monkeys. I can tell you from experience she might actually enjoy hanging around some of the 'retarded monkeys' and the knowledge that mum

I don’t disagree with you but I think there’s another angle to the discussion that involves the difference between the litigious capacity of corporations vs individuals to defend the simple kind of creations you describe, as I think corpora

Our pediatricians told us risk from suffocation is associated with bad co-sleep practices, not "just with" co-sleep (in our country, not the US, and I'm quoting "just with" because I don't know how to put that

The first comment on the search you’re sharing seems to be about an exec stepping down (I guess that’s a euphemism for getting fired) as a consequence of something he said or did (it seems contributing to a campaign). Is your point that an

We're not talking global compliance here though, this is a US-based fund, these are US-based startups, and the regulations involved are by some US states. One would hope national regulatory compliance does fall at least partially under

I’m part of that minority too, and as a kid growing up in the 80s the Majokits sets from Majorette were the best for me: city buses, construction trucks, and yeah, the same cars you could see on the street.

And not only that, but after a band member died (the album name was chosen before this though). And on the topic of music, besides Depeche Mode, this made me think of the song 4th of July by Sufjan Stevens and the chorus line he sings as he

Wait, wait. Small coast town in Uruguay, you employ people there, and you've got at least one ML guy. Do you have a Rodrigo working with you? If yes, tell him I said hi!

Perl has a fond place in my heart, though I don't use it for new things, but I still like it (some 20+ years ago I proudly wore a t-shirt with a square block of perl code in the back that, should you type it and run it, would print a q

That was the second original computer game I got in my life. Or perhaps the first, because I got two on at the same time: Pirates!, and Sub battle simulator. I loved both, but I have very fond memories of Pirates! I must have played it for
