Doesn't matter, we need a new thread because if there are too many comments things on HN become unusable. Or is there a way to sort by most recent comments that I am not aware of?

Of course title is a bit of a clickbait, because they are comparing walls of same strength, not single row straight walls with curved walls. But how does this compare with a straight wall with brick columns every two meters or so? My guess

Can you explain in a few words what "edible eaters" are?

I did something similar in the early 90s, placing parts into various machines (produced 15000 welding tips in one summer). At that factory drinking previously had been common among workers. They banned alcohol during weekdays after one work

his is an old SEO trick (white font, tiny font, font in background color, transparent font, etc.. Worked a while until Google adjusted their algo and this "weird trick" got a penalty.

I once had a fantastic experience with reporting a bug on Firefox. One engineer saw that the bug was severe enough to justify delaying the release process, they worked their asses off to fix the bug and merged the bug into the new version w

The "guy from Opera" has done amazing work on SVG in Chromium. I hope he will be able to contribute a few more years, because it will be difficult to replace him.

I still do not understand how Apple gets away doing the same (or worse) with Safari on iOS.

Yeah, it's a bit confusing with all those brands. Tesla is just Tesla, but Volkswagen is a company and also a brand, and the company owns the brands Volkswagen, Škoda, Seat, Cupra, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche. But it is owne

When I read the title I thought no way this is not from Germany. It's a nice pun, I like it.

Maniac Mansion. I loved the story, the puzzles, the way of interaction. Everything was so new and creative. Too bad Lucasfilm stopped making games.

That is only true for sea water near surface. I am talking about deeper levels of the ocean. If my calculation is correct the mass of CO2 released into the air per year is roughtly 1/35000 the mass of all sea water in the oceans. Sound

That sounds like "I just don't want that!". We don't need a map to know how dissolved CO2 influences acidity of sea water. Trust the science, bro.

by jansan 3y ago
That is just on the surface, right? The mass of CO2 relased into the air per year compared to total sea water on earth is approx 1/35000. Does is really make such a big difference if dissolved in deep sea water?

by jansan 3y ago
Stupid question, can't the CO2 just be dissolved in (deep) sea water?

Also, no evidence of aigratou being used in the -u from before the Portuguese arrived. It may be true that the similarity is purely a coincidence, but the evidence is very weak, and maybe without Portuguese influence ariɡatau would be used

ワンダーフォーゲル (Wandervogel) is missing from that list. And I just learned that it was an anti-industrialization movement.

The eveidence presented on Wikipedia does not convice me. Even if arigatashi existed before contact with the Portugese, arigatō may have been a merger of obrigado and arigatashi.

Because it does not add any value, but a lot of potential problems. I can already see it messing with my regular expressions.

As I mentioned above, make sure you get your sinuses checked for nasal polyps and if you have any, ask your doctor if cortisone nasal spray can be used to shrink them.
