If you're curious about the chemtrail crowd, I'd recommend the "documentary" 'what in the world are they spraying' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf0khstYDLA It's one of the many conspira

Shareware is not dead, but I would say the term 'shareware' is. These days it's just software. You have free software that gives you a limited user experience or timed trial to decide if you want to buy the full thing. Look

You're missing the point entirely, and it has nothing to do with public transit. Although smaller overall, do you not think that Germany has rural areas? They do, lots of them. Just by virtue of the fact that you live in the middle o

Yes, but those 6 weeks are just your government sanctioned vacation. There's nothing stopping you from taking more time for yourself. We get 5 weeks where I am, but I still make it a point to take at least 2 months off.

Your statement completely ignores evolution and the human body's ability to adapt to its environment. Sure, the timelines for such adaptations to develop are totally unknowable at this point, but you should never say never, especially

From your previous comment complaining about HN: "The internet doesn't need another reddit, it's bad enough as it is." Yet you insist on making comments that only belong on reddit. Can I convince you to delete your acco

When you set up android for the first time it gives you some text explaining what this is and how it works, and asks you whether you want to enable/disable it. I'm not sure if this was ever a "default", but it is definit

During the Android setup process it asks you if you want to enable this feature and has a side note that these scans are specifically to save battery life because they take much less energy than typical location services.

Dr. McGonigal is on the right track, but she's missing the bigger picture. She needs to realize that stress is not just one big thing and that there are many different types of stress. Here we can see a difference between physical stre

Although we're not quite there yet, this is an interesting thought, and well within our technological grasp. I think the one thing missing from moving this analysis forward is reliably tracking heart attacks. You'd have to rely on

I hope this has a big impact on Uber even outside of Kansas. I think any customer would prefer background checks for drivers. Being defiant against them is just bad PR. Background checks cost $20, or if you go through a channeler because yo

Nothing in your quote suggests blacks are ugly. It does suggest they will work for less money, and if you're looking at demographics, blacks actually do tend to make less than whites in many places. You can easily debate the merits of

If the building is commercially zoned, doing this would technically be illegal. So if they found out this was a factor in something they would normally pay out for, you can be sure they wouldn't.

I think this is an easy problem to fix, no? Why not just make the keys responsible for starting the car again? We've traded too much security for convenience and it's time to take a step back. You can still start the car with the

Surely you realize that this is cultural. In my country there is very little crime, and the police very much only exist to serve the population and they are always trying to help. Common sense here is that it would be foolish to think that

Good old one-factor authentication. The huge problem with this (and I hate even saying this out loud) is stealing phone numbers. If I really wanted to hack your account, I would just port your phone number. I won't give the details how
