" the most used thing in the context menu for me now hidden" For me as well, but I think it is crazy, that it is usually still enabled by default for EVERYONE. I had to calm quite some people, that they did not break their interne

I think every car remembers that spot (or rather the area, which is the intention behind it) and after a learning period, only speedy tourists will hit the road.

"What am I missing?" Like the other poster mentionied, you might have missed, that you missed things. It is sadly unreliable for me, too, which is just unacceptable with a messenger.

I am not an expert for avocados, but I suspect that they do the same as with most fruits (I worked in fruitpicking while backpacking): apart from herbicides, fungicide and pesticides, there are chemicals to block the ripening while the frui

"They stay ripe for way longer, since they don't have to be picked in advance and shipped" ... and since they are treated with all kinds of chemicals who mess with the ripening.

That would surprise me. WhatsApp lags behind, in many ways now. (but I actually have Telegram only on the desktop as it is too distracting on the mobile)

Speed bumps are brutally effective, like I just experienced driving through spain and france. I also do not like them too much, as they punish everyone and some of them are kind of hidden (by design) and you do not want to hit them even wit

Here on HN I read about the theory, that one of the main reasons that the time of the steam engines came, was the rise of the cannon. Over generations, every king wanted to have the best cannons as that translated into power - and once you

Wow, this detail I did not know yet. It just was a reckless rush to the moon, no matter the cost at this time. Without the deaths, nothing would have changed probably.

Blender was a professional tool from the start. The company behind it went insolvent ... and with crowdfunding the source could be freed.

In general yes, and people with enough Zen can do this. But if also the CEO is looking forward to hear from the board and the investors to explain the incident, he might not be in the mood to laugh.

But then you can argue, that it is not corruption, but right of (primitive) taxation.

I wonder how much of those stories are rather wishful thinking of how it should work and not how it does work, when a major screw up happened and some heads need to roll for the sake of it.

by hutzlibu 3y ago
Thanks, I knew I heard that story somewhere before. (but I would not rule it out, that recent CEOs heard and learned from that episode as well)

by hutzlibu 3y ago
The suspicious part for me would be the CEO laughing like it was nothing. Also yes, one would expect it goes the other way around, when you messed up big, someone will come to you. But the world is big and maybe it happened like this.

I don't think he negated that and just stated that the funds to do so should mostly come from somewhere else - otherwise there is motivation to exploit the prisoners.

You mean people wanted to get rid of stinky coal and polluting noisy cars in the city and therefore invented climate change? If true, this would be my favourite conspiracy ever. But actually, I rather believe the scientific consensus, which
