> it is cheaper for Emirates to park three A380s in Auckland I think parking at Sydney is about $15/tonne MTOW - the 380's MTOW is 575 tonnes, so that's a cool $8700/day just to sit there doing nothing. Even if they l

Well, that depends. I completely agree that needlessly messing around with the cool-database-of-the-week was inadvisable and a waste of time. But sometimes it's necessary to learn something new. I'm a rails dev who's recently

You'd want to be careful that you're viewing the same price package when doing this. For example, when displaying a ticket price in Australia, it must be an all-inclusive price - including all airport fees, surcharges, and everyt

Beautiful work! I love the colour and contrast. The London, Phuket (both) and Byron shots are just great. Oh and I liked the article too, except I'd replace samsonite with rimowa :)

From the manly beach and the airbus shot, it could be an iphone or similar, yes. The low light and mixed exposure shots give it away. I agree though, it looks lovely, especially the night market and the London shot - very nice light. How to

Obviously Tokyo would be pretty low on anyone's list if they're seeking peace and quiet. However, I think Japan, and some european countries with good high speed rail, can indeed offer viable "living close to nature" sce

Paris-fetishization isn't limited to the japanese. In other asian countries paris is also put on a pedestal as some sort of cultural and fashion peak of civilisation. Just a few weeks ago I was talking to a thai girl who excitedly told

I've thought the same thing. I'm constantly amazed that companies don't consider the health of their employees, both physical and mental, worth investing in. It's my firm belief that it would pay back many times over. I

The parent linked to a study demonstrating a link between aspartame and obesity. Did you even look at it before you wrote your facetious little reply? If you do, you'll notice it says the opposite of what you seem to think it does. And

That was a needlessly hostile and insulting response. I'm merely pointing out some personal experiences, and made appropriate qualifications to that effect. And your blanket dismissal is doubtful anyway. Here's a study clearly ind

I'm not so sure. I'm certainly not an expert, but I have a private theory that the very sweetness of artificial sweeteners influences insulin release via some mechanism. Whether by "crying wolf" and promoting insulin res

I don't think your downvotes relate to criticising Apple per se; they're due to a poor argument style. I am no great fan of Apple, but hurling vague accusations and FUD, then shifting the goalposts when anyone tries to refute you,

This is pretty short-sighted, in my opinion. If anything, smaller-sized cars seem likely to become more popular globally, not less. A walk through any chinese city will reveal any number of hand carts and jury-rigged bicycles just begging t

Can someone explain to me how assembling iPhones at Foxconn is somehow worse than, say, working at a checkout, or flipping burgers at McDonalds? Except for how Foxconn pays more than 3 times the local minimum wage? In fact, Foxconn's s

I wasn't talking about the grandparent comment, I was defending the submitter! The GP's two word comment, while correct, is too reddit for my taste (nothing against reddit - both sites have their place).

To be fair, judging by previous comments, it's likely the writer is not a native english speaker. English grammar is hard, and people make mistakes. I for one would like HN to be an inclusive international community, and that means not

The University of Adelaide in Australia's CS department also taught ada in the 1990s, due to demand from defence organisations in the city. It was thus the second programming language I learned after pascal (not going to count basic).
