I do not own a dishwasher. I watched the full video. If i wanted practical dishwasher tips I wouldn't be watching a technology connections video. I also don't own a a1950s toaster, nor a 70s pinball machine. The point of these vid

This is truly horrible and I don't want to detract from the original aim of the article, but can we just establish that 'visible' from space doesn't really mean much anymore given the resolution of satellites? My garage

This is true. Growing up, there was always this ideal that the West was superior ingrained in us (colonial hangover as some put it), and it takes a lot of unlearning to see past it.

That's fair, but also for me UI on a video player is rather immaterial, given that it goes away when i'm actually using the thing.

Sadly I believe fear of violent revolution would be an old fashioned concept in a post work world. Why would the state (run by oligarchs) simply deploy troops (sorry did I say troops, i meant killer robots) to squash any violent rebellion?

I used to live in Sri Lanka and one of the most pervasive things I noticed when I moved to the west were all these gambling ads. There, it was widely accepted that gambling was harmful. Yes, you could do it, but you could never advertise it

We already know what happens when a minority gains massive riches over the rest and also has the ability to gate keep said riches. Its called nations, and thats why an entire people will starve in an impoverished Somalia while another will

It was logical to provide child welfare when children stopped working because parents loved kids. Similarly, most welfare systems work because economies run on labour, thus the owners of capital are motivated to appease the labourers. In a

To be fair apple didn't even market this launch, it was a very quiet release, but the reviewers needed to make content, so here we are. That's not to say that they generally aren't guilty of making massive fanfare about ridic

do you then think that a white person in bangladesh will not be more aware of his whiteness than a bangaldeshi in bangladesh? Also im from a counry with a smaller population than the UK.

Gee it couldn't possibly be because us minorities are made to feel aware of our skin colour everytime we go out in the streets and see someone putting up an English flag, or preach about how their city has too many people that look lik

As someone doing PhD in digital twins, I’m obliged to point out that this is a simulation, not a digital twin, as there is no two way data interchange between the models. Having said that, this is extremely cool and I love it.

The ones who're pirating the non executable code are who I don't understand. Oh and I'm a starving PhD student.

this is so pretty. Have you done any write-ups on how to create this (or any of the other visualisations on your page). I would love to learn more.

You think this is bad? Try getting visa for Europe within the UK as a citizen of a 3rd world country. The official process is through a service such as VFS, which is the most painful experience I've had with any sort of service. There

Well the ones who didn’t are unable to comment on HN on account of being dead, so there may be a bit of survivor bias there.

Living in the UK, I didn't realise rewards were such a big deal in the US. I'm shocked at the resistance though, to me,, its a no brainer to just be charged less in the first place rather than have to keep track of some silly rewa

True, but certianly doesn't make me feel any better about it. If we started getting school shootings in the UK, and someone said ah but the US has that too, I wouldn't feel much better.

To be honest, this was inevitable, the pricing is unsustainable. I see it as sort of similar to those days when Uber eats used to offer all of those coupons for free food. I still fondly recall the good old days during my undergrad when Ube
