   I recently tried to re-watch B5. I was a huge fan when it came out. I managed to get to early season 2 before I couldn't take the cringe any more. Sometimes it's best to leave things in the past. That being said, a complete re-boo

   Sadly no cycling directions for my city. Despite their size Apple aren’t great at supporting smaller countries. Even when there seems to be no good reason. No AQI data for many if not most countries, for example.

   Anecdote: I drive in Italy at least once a year and never found it particularly bad or aggressive. I’ve driven in Greece too and also found it normal. Data: Both are substantially safer than the US https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F

   > ~47MM people in Spain … and redistributed it equally I know the OP asked that but isn’t this really about future people turning 18 which would be massively fewer people and roll along every year?

   AGI is a term like life. We have no rigorous definition that we all agree on but we probably would know it when we see it.

   All this data out there and Apple still don’t have good AQI coverage.

   I will say he’s a genius at one thing; raising funds. How on earth he convinced people to invest in this I’ll never know.

    An absolute mess is what it is. The most consistent he’s been has been his claim he wants to make the “everything app” “X”. But that’s all it has been so far. A claim. He seems to think he can do it backwards. Charge for it first and later

    Good to keep in mind for sure but don’t assume it can’t be done either. Currently I’m lucky enough to be managing it but there are two of us. Every day is great and I hope we can do this for a very long time.

    I’d never heard about it before the news that a “new” Threads was coming and I’m reasonably online ;) I’d say the general public don’t know or care about the failed version but will find it easy to try the new one. This is probably the bigg

    I wholeheartedly agree. With Instagram Threads coming any day now their best chance of success might be gone.

    But they don’t pay for almost anything routine in the UK. In the US my understanding is you are not typically getting any free dental care. £300 is not a major expense for a typical person in the UK.

    https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/dentists/what-dental-service... £300 seems not very significant if we are comparing the US to the UK in this discussion.

    He doesn't qualify who he is talking about and in which situations. This conveniently leaves room for charitable interpretations. Which is really close to a form of sophistry, in my opinion. Reminds me of this classic Limmy sketch: ht

    In this case it’s not just a legally required tracking consent question. It’s saying either accept tracking if you want to read for free or subscribe and then there is no tracking.

    Are you using persecute instead of prosecute on purpose or is it just a typo?

    Politics seems similar. Chasing money or coverage most of the time because that's the system now.

    Fortunately we stopped increasing the number of kids in the world back around 2000. On a global scale it’s a solved problem (still pockets of the world where work continues and is important). The problem now is, how do we live more efficien

    The last straw for me. I’m not partaking in that place as long as these sort of awful people are actively promoted.

    Isn’t it truly tiresome to see obvious questions voted to the top with answers right in the article or easily searchable. Why do HN commenters assume that they are the only person to think about these questions? It’s probably the most discu

    I dunno. For me the two or three years pre MS were quite stagnant imo. Plenty of outages back then too.

    TraumaZone is in my humble opinion a masterpiece. But to me it doesn't show that his previous work is any less incredible. In his previous work he explicitly sets out a (usually unconventional) thesis and then attempts to explain it in
