The subject of this particular image is part of the Eagle Nebula in our own galaxy. So it's near enough to be gravitationally bound and not subject to the redshift of cosmic inflation.

Again, I agree, "We want corps to stop hoovering up our data because they can use it to manipulate us with advertising, and they can mishandle it such that _other bad actors can exploit it_." My point is, if finding the political

Lots of folks here arguing that the focus on TikTok is unfair, given the data collection practices of domestic corps like Facebook. From a privacy point of view, this argument is well-founded, but I think it's tangential to the argume

I was being generous. :) People new to HN need to be introduced to the culture here without being deterred entirely from commenting again in the future. This way, others can engage the new user on the merit of their ideas (right or wrong)

I down-voted this comment for its tone. This is a thorough and well-informed rebuttal of the parent comment, but it's buried under an unnecessary layer of sass and sarcasm. I appreciate your passion, but we can do better than this.

This sounds like an idea founded on experience, but without including any details about how you arrived at this sentiment the comment doesn't bring any value to the thread.

Leading with an accusation of substance abuse isn't civil or productive. Your comment may well be factually correct, but your tone here is inappropriate. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

That's literally what the author of the article describes. From a practical point of view I think it's silly to do such a thing for a residential situation, but I can appreciate using it as a learning experience for building syste

One of the premises of this video is wrong. The author claims that rockets are staged primarily because the engine bells need to be a different shape at different altitudes to maximize their efficiency. While it is true that engines design

Yeah, in my experience teenagers (especially those that are highly self-motivated) can see stack traces and stuff as just another part of the puzzle. It's the younger and less motivated kids that tend to get frustrated. Edit: I'l

I tend to agree. I'll also point out that it's partly an issue of language. I feel like (at least in the case of English) the words for describing taste are less developed than, say, sights. So while I can describe a car finish

Re: Your deleted The fact that in Signal's case, the client and the server are fully aware of who each other are is immaterial (thus not part of the analogy). What the analogy demonstrates is that there exists a potentially-retaliatory

Interesting article, but this stood out to me. It frustrates me to see people in the smash community treat measures like elo as "the truth" because they "don't have any human input". This simply factually incorrect

I believe the comment you're replying to is satire (about how everything is a problem that can be solved with a blockchain).
