The monarch is pretty and many people have a personal connection to it (either through media or personal experience), which makes it an effective species for drawing attention to the broader issue of an ongoing global extinction event in wh

There's a lot of data on this subject. BuzzFeed News recently had an article about how fires have changed over the past decades: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/california... And for the Hac

It's disappointing to see this downvoted just because people disagree with it. I feel these emotions are an absolutely essential aspect of being human, and it seems the downvoters agree, but I'd rather see a discussion of why.

Great post. Just to emphasize this point: > nobody can entirely get into the head of a missing person and judge with any certainty whether one direction or another is better during a search. Let's say a group gets separated during a

You might be interested in the podcast Offices and Bosses, in which fantasy-world characters improv their way through a D&D-style game for our everyday world. (a spin-off of Hello From The Magic Tavern, which is pretty funny itself).

Counterpoint: watches could be described in the same way as cars in your example, and lots of tech folk get into watches.

The article’s format is a bit confusing here. I think what you’re reacting to _is_ the “alternate hacky approach”. Just one line up in the bulleted list is: “Best approach: Move logic to sub-components“. There isn’t an example or a link bec

I prefer it, because I bike with one ear in and the other tucked down the front of my shirt. If the bud in my ear falls out it's caught by the other instead of falling into gears or ground.

You might be surprised by the scale. I know a few folks doing water management in California, and they've all independently brought up the exacerbating effects of unmonitored but significant water usage by illegal farms during the last

Surprising to me is how often it gets brought up by drivers. Personally, I've had the "how do you like Uber/lyft" conversation during a ride enough times to never bring it up directly, but regardless it comes up frequen

I use it as an obvious visual indication of whether or not I'm logged in. Usually it’s because I’m not using my primary browser, which means I should be testing something but instead ended up on hacker news… somehow. Good reminder to g

Another interesting example of marks and boundaries in the physical world superseding surveys and agreements is the USA/Canada border west of the great lakes. While officially the 49th parallel, the border was manifested in the real wo

While some initially reported it as a 96 hour ban, some of those reports have been updated to say 96 hours allowed for airline compliance. I honestly don't know which one is right. At least we can rest assured this has been as carefull

Subjecting a targeted group to repeated fear and uncertainty through changing rules seems to be more of the plan than an absurdity. A rule like this establishes precedent, even. You put up this headline without any of the other political co

You're not wrong. I suppose I'd call my own statement a bit weak if this wasn't the third highly targeted policy in the past 2 months - in fact one of the few types of policies this administration has pushed all the way to ac

That is a very long day of sitting. When I was younger I had a similar duration commute, with a couple transfers each way. I was fortunate that each line could carry a bike, so I skipped a bus on one end by sacrificing a few minutes to bik

Not the poster, but I think he means that Uber is the very wolf we've become too desensitized to recognize. But I have not seen the endemic spiteful complaints he has. My impression is this place is full of wolves that are seldom calle

Received the same response when I cited the same reason for deleting (among a few others). Interesting that this PR push comes in the very message that confirms your account has been deleted (and after they warn it can't be brought ba
