I can't help but think, more and more often; how destructive and short sighted human technology has become. I find it fascinating to watch how ingenious we are, but equally or more terrifying. The ocean is our single life sustaining

New York recently shut down one of its main power plants. Indian Point Nuclear power station. From Wikipedia. "As a result of the permanent shutdown of the plant, three new natural-gas fired power plants: Bayonne Energy Center, CPV Va

Reminds me of this video I came across a few months ago. Its a tour of an old AT&T bunker in the process of renovations. Pretty interesting to see how well setup and large they are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kblV_

So they have been fined a bit more than $1.15 for ever person in the USA. What did this coat in legal fees, salaries, and time for the government? Seems pretty meaningless, and nothing more than an expected operating expense for them. Will

I really hope they change course, and keep SMS. That is the single best feature of the android App. They will lose a lot of people if they don't.

Honestly, this seems like a Reddit level reply. Cali isn't any better off. What does this add to HN? Can people stop being so inflammatory.

When I was in college I bought several bulk for part thinkpads. X200, x200s, T400s, x60, and others. Was able to rebuild all of them. Wonderfully engineered, durable like nothing else, typing on them is a treat. Stated playing with coreb

For an addition $1,000 you can purchase a lifetime ad-free option for this laptop. (Apple ID specific and nontransferable). Made in jest, but oddly nearing reality.

Isn’t this part of the problem? I enjoy when things are able to change in life based on effort, or choice, not the ease of sedation or being pacified from convenience.

I think it's great the author made an account today on HN, and is replying to questions from his post. This is one if the best parts of the community here. I would love to see some test done on newer CPUs, and also if any BIOS tweaks

And the cycle of companies who only do R&D for project based work. This is the real issue. I would say it's a problem with middle and high level management, but I am still not sure if that is fair.
