I’ve always wondered this, so will ask here since it’s relevant: How certain are we that it’s a difference in whether or not someone is bit by mosquitos vs. whether or not (or how) someone’s body reacts to a mosquito bite? I am a mosquito m

I don’t disagree with anything you or the parent post said. And while I don’t feel like I’m quick to criticize HN posts, I wonder if part of it is that negative/critical comments spark more interesting discussion? E.g. I saw the CoD vi

Yeah, I realized that after it was too late to edit. I posted that after a quick Google search — I originally had no idea how big it was, but new it was more the 2x the moon :) — and of course the big “110,000 light years” it returned at th

It may be obvious and this may be a bit pedantic, but the “actual size” and “size compared to the moon” part is confusing, as comparing the size of two objects is usually comparing two objects at the same scale. If someone was completely cl

I’ll admit that I have never used TicTok — mostly because it always sounded toxic/unhealthy from the start — and this comment/article seem to reinforce that. It’s really crazy — and a bit scary — how much messed up stuff can proli

I won’t argue with the point about not everyone being geniuses (I know a sample of one that isn’t). But the discussions here are still 100x more civil than all other alternatives. That, alone, makes it seem people are at least closer to the

It's rare that you get any game for free on one platform just because you own it on another platform. Almost any game I've seen on both PC & Switch, you have to pay for both. I don't care. Factorio devs can have my money.

I've been playing Mindustry a lot lately, and while I've been enjoying it, it's just a different game than Factorio -- they scratch different, but similar, itches. Factorio is about the long game, and your designs have to be

Yeah, they cover performance too, but sounds like we will definitely see impact with mega bases: One of the first questions you might ask is how does the game perform. We worked on many optimizations to make sure the game performs as well

Curious to see how well it translates to controllers. I know there is limited support on the Steam Deck, but I'm guessing it's still subpar to traditional mouse/keyboard controls. From the link: Factorio was developed for 10

Somewhat off topic, I was curious to read the lyrics, and Google confidently pointed me to the lyrics to Presto instead. I was so confused until I realized those weren’t lyrics to Red Barchetta. https://www.google.com/search

This should be higher. I realized when monitoring COVID data that rolling numbers like this can be heavily impacted by the number that’s rolling off. Take, for example, a 7-day COVID case count of 100. The next day this drops to 90. That’s

This article (and many similar articles often shared on HN) are written as if the target audience are adults. And maybe it is. But there are already plenty of articles about how we spend too much time online, and the effects of social media

I think I’ve unintentionally trained myself to hold the phone on it’s sides when pocketing it, for this reason, now that you mention it. I don’t think I’ve ever had the flashlight accidentally left on (not in a long time, anyway).

I guess, as the title (What HN post made you money?) implies, it's looking more for responses from those that made money from HN posts, vs. a poll with a title more along the lines of "Have you made money from an HN post?". I
