Is there any way to figure out what the maintenance costs of a car is? For example, for an 8-year-old Porsche Panamera? Otherwise, I've always just come across anecdata on message boards.

What's the ratio of not offsides to offsides on the site? Going through it, it seems like a ratio of 1:20. I know the goal of the website is to show how VAR is broken, but there seems to be a lot of bias in the uploading/presentin

Maybe this is my fault for not moving to Apple Music, but the iOS Music app, subjectively, is total crap ever since iOS 9. The app no longer cleanly and easily divides music into Songs/Artists/Albums/Playlists as top-level ta

Once in a while someone posts a submission about the literary to HN (not really tech-news) and even though I'm not the most well-read, I always appreciate it. Thank you!

Samsung doesn't, actually. They now only make "QLED" TV's and LED TV's. However, a lot of other brands sell OLED TV sets including Sony, Vizio, TCL, etc. Maybe they're referring to manufacturing the physical OL

Yes, that's exactly what auto-pay is. I'm in the US myself and in my experience, almost everyone advocates auto-pay. Some people may choose to pay early and some people may not be able to pay, but generally people in the US are re

Is this actually the AirPods? Many people get tinnitus. Many people have AirPods. Could this be correlation not causation? Does anyone more knowledgeable know the details of how AirPods (or similar) could cause tinnitus?

Regarding the title, how do we know this is THE largest dataflow job? The article body itself only makes mention that this is THEIR largest dataflow job. This post doesn't make any quantifiable claims either one could use to support, t

Fun fact: while Moby Dick has an overall Flesh-Kincaid reading-ease score of 57.9 ("10th to 12th grade" by the US scale), this particular sentence's score is −146.77. On the scale, 90-100 is at the 5th grade level and 0-10 is

True, there is no objective manner to determine the "largest" or "most powerful" military. However, via this listing of militaries by different types of equipment[1], the US leads in 8 of 14 categories. I'll admit I

I think fish is great for newcomers or for those who don't really want to mess around with too many settings or plugins. I'm a fish user, actually. That said, for those on zsh who want some of fish's most prominent user featu

Absolutely. I found myself completely bewildered on my first watch of the film. For whatever reason I watched it a second time a little while later and found it absolutely enthralling. FWIW, the 1979 miniseries can be found in full on YouTu
