There’s some truth to this. The Nexus 6p would bend just looking at it wrong. Nowhere near the controversy.

Are you on iOS or Android? I find these tools for iOS are more limited. Maybe I'm missing something?

Where did you get this impression of Wolfe?

Not sure where you got the idea we don’t spray pesticides for mosquitoes anymore. There are large vector control districts all over the country that do exactly that. You may be interested in the NPIC page. http://npic.orst.edu&#x

Agreed. I bought a 2017 and took it back because I vastly preferred my 2015.

Exactly. I live in a small town. We have no traffic jams, and never have. I believe that proves it’s possible to build sufficient infrastructure to eliminate or reduce traffic jams. It’s just that most large cities elect not to.

LOL - of course it has Facebook. In the video, there's an icon for Twitter too.

It occurs to me that Google has some incentive to do this. Ad blocking is much more difficult with https and requires an ordinary user inject a certificate of dubious origin/security.

Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems to me that the solution is standardizing power cell size/shape, and simply swapping them out at stations loaded with pre-charged cells. It seems then you could use a lot more technology to recharge t

If there were a list of such companies, I would patronize them.

It seems to me they could simply outlaw the objectionable functionality. The article gives me the impression they outlawed the entire category.

What an odd solution to the problem.

With apologies for the aside, pages like that are why people turn to ad blockers. Wow.

That's also true in the US. We have way more trees today than we did 100 years ago. https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/stori...

China is willing to displace 1.5 million people to build a dam. [1] We are unwilling to hang powerlines. [2] China is going to win economically. That usually also equates to militarily. [1] http://www.bbc.com/news/worl

Why is there always so much hate for amp on HN? I'm on a PC and I vastly prefer these pages to the huge/bloated default pages offered by so many publishers. Using the TC page linked in the original post as an example, if I turn

True, but they do require metals like lithium and cobalt. Here's an interesting article on the lithium rush in Nevada. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-03-29/the-great...

Which watch? And what app are you using to sync music to it?

If my phone is any evidence, that would smoke the watch's battery.

IMHO - credit monitoring has limited utility. While it can help you identify issues more quickly, it's still after the fact. For that reason, I bought the family a Zander Insurance plan. If you get hacked, they handle the fix (inclu

Yeah, I'm not sure the arbitration language is applicable here anyway. The claims would arise from Experian's failure to secure their data, not from use of the "Products" offered by TrustedID (namely, the website allowi

As a guy who has commuted by bike for the better part of 20 years, I leave my bike in the house and drive in my car when it's snowing or icy for the same reason that I wouldn't drive a motorcycle. Two wheels in those conditions i

The milkweed concern isn't over drift. It's over monocultures, which is a different argument entirely. As for studies 1 and 2 below, I'll look into them more, but as cited above, there's also plenty of science indicati

While Enlist blends the two, 2,4-D resistant GMOs are brand new and still rarely used. I'm not as familiar with the toxicity/carcinogenicity of 2,4-D, but I think it's fair to confine this conversation to the carcinogenicity

by hcurtiss 9y ago
Commonly? 2,4-D is a selective herbicide, and glyphosate is not. In most circumstances, adding 2,4-D to glyphosate would be burning money. And if you're going to target broadleafs, you would not, of course, add glyphosate. They&#x2

Uhm, glyphosate doesn't affect pollinators.[1] It's an herbicide. And drift that reduces "critical forage"? That's not even part of the glyphosate controversy. Glyphosate either works on a plant or it doesn&#x27

All of this is true, but in my experience, it's the rare engine that meets its end due to piston/cam friction. Usually, the engine is abandoned due to the cost of maintaining all the things attached to it (e.g., water pump, alter

Get a full size dog. And an ADT sign outside. I couple these with the means of defending myself and my family (i.e., a bedside gun in a biometric safe and training to use them), but to each their own.
