Wow, I had no idea American was still flying these. Back in 2013, SAS retired their last MD-80. The last flight was a special "museum flight" with the cabin filled with flight enthusiasts. They flow quite low-height over beautiful

I kinda feel like organizing a program blocking journalists at these american newspapers that are blocking europeans.. from accessing european newspapers/sites. Just because. I'm sure there's a way of figuring out the public

There wouldn't be any supposedly unbounded liability if they disabled the ads for that region they aren't really targetting anyway. Also: GDPR hygiene works in the US as well. You've got some way to catch up though; you even

Mind explaining the concept of the marginal investor in this context ?

That has never happened (as far as I know, in modern history). Of course that's not a reason it can't happen, but I feel like you owe us at least a plausible decade downturn scenario.

Kinda makes sense. Still, it sounds like a very fragile system. So instead if active fund managers "knowing the market better", we'll get active fund managers, "knowing the passive investor crowd better". This is ma

Index funds have become successful since they've performed well compared to active investment funds. Why would the active investors suddenly get better at guessing the future?

Not an economist, but it's obvious to anyone used to thinking in terms of systems that index funds can't work after a certain amount of the money poured into the system is managed by index funds. What's the limit - 30% 40%, 5

Really? I've never been as hung over as the day after I was drinking vodka with my polish counterpart software developers. Granted, they were still living in Poland, so not really immigrants, but they were probably amongst the 5-10% hi

Sure; I get that part. But on the other hand, the message really seems to resonate with the average HN reader. Lots and lots of upvotes.. and then deletion.

This story just got flagged? I dunno... Anyway, my main complaint here is that it seems like a very small number of old users can shut down any story if they are acting together.

You're right. I rewrote that bit.

It was about the Hong Kong police using a new technology (likely "DNA paint") to mark protestors, likely for future prosecution

Ask HN: It seems like the flag mechanism is abused. Is this okay?

Molotov cocktails are generally really dangerous, yes. Have there been any documented uses of Molotov cocktails in these protests?

The protesters are smart. I hope they capture (or trace the manufacturer and counterfeit a batch) some of this dye and spray it onto local CCP-oriented politicians and police officers. (My assumption is that the CCP/HK police used a ch

Sounds interesting. Do you have a way around the paywall? Edit: This worked for me: in chrome, right-click the "web" link and choose "Open link in incognito mode". Then pick the first search result.

Berlin is really spread out. I agree on that part. It's like a complex of cities rather than a city. I can see the virtue of that as a resident but as a visitor/sightseer it's annoying.

CardKB is a chinese project, right? I can't seem to find the single original source for this thing, just lots of pages talking about it, like: https://m5stack.com/products/cardkb-mini-keyboard

Nice project. The stumble block for these kinds of projects is often the keyboard. It seems tricky to get something nice to use without using keyboards from other products - and then being a slave to that mini keyboard's dimensions and

Background: I'm building industrial HW based on their compute units. It's a really nice base to build on, in terms of software support. 1) I think their EE design team could use some talented QA professionals. 2) In that one-hour
