I bought a pack of three Anker lightning cables because of the praise they got here on HN. Unfortunately all three weakened near the connector within a few months to the point where they only intermittently charge. Really disappointing.

No thanks. I want my stove to last 10+ years. Replacing a single knob is a lot simpler to repair, and less likely to fail than the microphone, speaker, logicboard etc. in a voice stove.

"It's the thought that counts" Caring enough about that person to write it in a personal planner, and then doing something when you see that reminder is 'the thought that counts'.

And now people go out and about in their yoga pants and activewear, even if they aren't doing anything remotely sporting. Funny how history repeats.

I live on the 153 route in Islington which was recently converted to these BYD all electric buses. It's fantastic. In a quiet residential area they are nearly silent and when I cycle by them on the way work there's no fumes. The s

This sounds like something out of BladeRunner. Scavengers pulling scooters out of the trash on the fringes of town, fighting off other scavengers and thieves to collect their bounty.

The picture halfway down with the jogger is extremely misleading. That's not smog, that's a foggy morning in a comparatively rural area over 60 miles north of London.

I remember seeing a really old pneumatic remote for a TV a long time ago. It was basically a rubber squeeze pump (just like on a blood pressure machine) and a rubber tube connected to the tv. When you squeezed the pump, the pressure in the

Not all stories are widely known before they break. For instance, Wapo might not pursue an investigative piece on Amazon as enthusiastically, or another investigation may get prioritised because of the owner. A story that isn't pursued

Disney own it. It's a hangover from the late 90s dot-com era, when portals were the hotness. I'm guessing lots of people have it as their default homepage from the old days so they keep it running.

This is actually quite annoying. I have some Chase cards from when I lived in the US that now have UK billing addresses and therefore alphanumeric postal codes. It's not uncommon for these to be unusable online because the form expects

I used to work at JPMorgan. We had an official acronym for these tools... UDTs, or User Developed Tools. They initially started when ops teams were told a custom report for a client would be too expensive/slow to build properly by tech

I'm using forestry for my company site now to give my non-tech cofounder an easy way to write blog posts. Two suggestions that would really improve my life: 1. A better wysiwyg editor. I've taught her some markdown but every time

This is really topical for me as I'm looking for answers to this question too. As someone in early bootstrapping stages, I want to develop some basic branding (colours, logo, sample applications etc) but I need to be realistic about bu

I think lots of people on this thread are missing the point. This won't necessarily detect a determined spy who's done their homework. It's not meant to. It's a quick and effective sanity check to make sure that a person

Marcus Einfeld comes to mind. A formerly well respected Australian judge who perjured himself over a $77 speeding ticket by blaming it on dead Americans and received 3 years in prison for the string of lies he told to trying to cover it up.

He's taken the appearance of many steps. Owning a farm is a little different to being involved in sprawling international ventures that leave you open to pressure from foreign powers.

Say you make a new kind of drug, the government is allowed to regulate it and prevent you from selling it. That doesn't oblige the government to compensate you for making something dangerous.

I like compulsory voting. It means candidates don't need to run to the left/right extremes to 'energise' the base or encourage those voters to show up. Instead they can focus time and airtime on more reasonable policies
