The airlines industry is heavily regulated, as most big-money industries are. "True free market" does not mean "complete absence of all regulations"!

I don't do it often, but skiplagging saved me around $500 on a single SFO-NRT leg.

So bogus. For those who are wondering, skiplagging does work, and can save you a boatload of $$$. AND you have to understand the system and have some attention to detail, especially internationally.

Funny. Just a few minutes ago a youtube snippet of Law & Order taught me the alleged "first rule of composting": No meat! I guess I should unlearn that.

Clickbait nonsense. In September 2024, OnlyFans reported 20% net revenue growth, as well as 25% pre-tax profit growth - to $658 million. Most of us on HN would be lucky to be so "dead."

Well, I used Google, so that's what I wrote. Coincidentally, I recently tested other search engines, from Bing to Yandex, and my results were not better.

I'm never sure how HN feels about links, but this is better, and includes a conversation with the programmer: https://restofworld.org/2021/farmbank-turkey-scam-jail-time/

It was a Ponzi scheme. Interesting story, but Google turns up much better coverage than this article.

Most adults should be able to figure out that IN THIS CONTEXT "big" refers to land mass relative to population. Yes, NYC has a dense population, and yes, it also has the best public transit in the country.

I've written a book. Not a good use of my time, financially speaking. As for 80% of people wanting to write a book, that's hard to take seriously. Barely half of Americans read even one book a year.

The dietary conclusions and recommendations got a bit muddled at the end. SA reading this should know that the "overweight" BMI cutoff for SA is 23.0, not 25.0.

And Germany has a population of 83 million. Montana has a population of 1.1 million. I don't get your point.

Is there evidence of this?

Oh, I know - I live in Oakland. I think even here the population density is lower than in European cities. (It's definitely lower than in Asian mega-cities.) But yes, I do wish California did better. People are used to bad transit, an

I don't have a silver bullet of health advice. Your list looks good. The only things I'd change (what works for ME) is to reduce fruit (sugar). But if I could eat fruit all the time, I would. And I eat as much fat as I want, defin

Oh, I agree with you. I just read that MTG and other Republican operatives are tweeting that hurricanes are created by the US government; now the MAGA want to kill meteorologists. And despite all this, Trump has a 50-50 chance of winning th

This may sound cynical, but I believe it is also factual: in a capitalist society, generating revenue by making people sick (junk food), and then generating more revenue by curing them, and finally making a big pile by keeping them alive fo
