That actually works pretty well and has worked well for thousands of years for what it was designed to do. The calendar should not necessarily follow the local climate of every region, as that can vary each year and throughout the time. The

Out of basic human compassion and the fact that many in HN care? By the way, I am not sure if you're from US (sound like it), but for context, let me put what you said in perspective using an _analogy_ that might be more familiar. Imag

Of course I believe it’s a crime committed by the the oppressive regime. Most people in Iran don’t think like the government does. When you call a country backwards, you actually call its people backwards obviously, which this girl was one

Imagine if Russia occupies Ukraine by force. Following this logic, Ukrainians should now be persuaded (punished) so that they they find the will (as if they don’t already have it) to throw Russia out. The same people that we are helping and

That would be great, for example if I could find a lens that helps me search in topic I care about. Imagine Google’s :site but for a specific and custom group of sites with custom rankings.

Yes! I propose we start with the aviation industry which is in dire need of innovation. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new type of airplane with pointy nose or funky looking wings. We need more new stuff and we need it now. We should

So if I have a desktops which is not locked down, does it mean that increasing the chance that I loose my data (on a portable device) doesn’t matter? What if I copy my data to two portable devices? Do you now see the flaw in your reasoning?

Kudos for the effort of creating this nice website. I enjoyed your way of laying out the events. That will be awesome to read more about those pieces of history in the form of this website. Well appreciated.

This is a good point. I would say we shouldn’t make it easy for the governments to access the data as well as private interest or companies. These are not mutually exclusive. EU privacy laws are a step in the right direction. It’s progress.

The problem is, the programmer (caller) forgets and that’s the whole point of having a more or less automated way of releasing/closing/etc. Apart from that, it’s bad design IMO (leaky abstraction).
