I remember being surprised the first time I saw this "feature", which was with my own startup's recurring charge on a credit card that was replaced with a chip card. I didn't understand how the charge had gone through, s

Can't this be approximated by using the share feature with timestamp, pasting the URL and then just reloading the page each time you want to loop? Not as convenient, but a bit less overhead.

This is also generally frowned up on for a "Show HN" post. HNers are supposed to be able to go and look at something and provide feedback — without paying or handing over an email address. Some posters solve this by creating a gen

As another commenter said, I wouldn’t make different orders. I’d just pick a restaurant based on what other neighbors have picked, and be content with whatever it is.

I wonder if the problem is that they're trying to coordinate/optimize drivers and routes after the orders have been placed. What if they tried to coordinate before the order was placed? There have been many days where I would have

Aren't all of the branches of government supposed to represent the public interest? What makes the executive uniquely qualified to do so? I would think that there are few people who would say that the past two administrations have both

Of course expertise will still influence the application of law and policy. The same people will still write the regulations, serve as expert witnesses in trials, and write amicus briefs. The thing that has changed is that the executive b

I like the form factor (I'm also an iPhone mini fan), but I don't like the way it makes the justified text look. There are so few words per line that you either end up with big gaps between words (justified) or a very ragged right

How is this enforced? I'm not saying it isn't a good idea, just that it seems like it would be tricky to enforce. Separately, it could result in employees uploading code to a non-privacy-respecting AI, whereas if employees were al

The site is old-school, but don't "(year)" markings only go on articles that were published on a particular date, as opposed to websites that are modified over time?

I imagine the restaurants and their lobbyists will get their way, and a carveout will be passed. I also think that once the public finds out what happened, it will sour them on the restaurant industry. It's not like restaurants can&#x2

My reading (IAAL) is that in 2012 the whistleblower laws were changed, and key language was added in. That language has been interpreted, in other contexts, to include future earnings. But the new law had not yet been tested, so this case i

So if someone makes a painting, or a sculpture, she would have to create and distribute copies or risk losing protection? I could see how this might make sense for things that can be perfectly copied, but not so much for anything that is ev
