Because we are so used to seeing articles broken up by ads and other intrusive media that we go from the last word of one paragraph to the first of the next and skip the interruption?

I quit facebook about 5 years ago, realizing quickly there was nothing of value in seeing how fake-happy people were. You only see the highlights, so when a friend announced a divorce we, including that person's family, were surprised

I see the opposite problem where I live. Driving lights as they are referred to in Norway must be on during the day as well as at night. These are on the front of the car. On the back newer vehicles have the lights off by default and come

Buy a Land Rover or Range Rover, your premium product will have you ripping out the door skins the day after the warranty ends. It's a 3-6 hour job at least and impossible to put the door back as factory because the waterproofing seals

I just remembered a perfect example of over-engineering stupidity. A family member has an Audi A6 AWD and his routine service light came on. So being a man in his early 70s he went to check the oil and filters etc himself. He couldn't

I do my hobby development on Linux, Python 2.7 and 3.x are always installed but 2.7 is the default. What is the future for Linux distros dropping 2.x and moving only to 3.x? My understanding is that Linux requires 2.7 as the default version

Plenty of muscicians and DJs have blogs and also it wouldn't be out of place on a site like Soundcloud, if used sparingly.

You're not as alone as the media might lead you to think. There is a lot of hype and marketing going on with EVs to get people to adopt this change in technology that is consumer funded. I agree with you, there are too many nice-to-hav

Start watching Countdown, the UK numbers and letters game. You will need your times tables for the math part. There is even a comedy version (same games with added silliness) to keep the interest of 'younger' audiences. Youtube se

Is that deliberately Engrish style? A band name with the album title of a different band (The Cure are known for Boys Don't Cry, not Depeche Mode) with album art from Joy Division. Looking at that I felt my mind collapse in on itself.

I had a friend who collected Factory Records 12" for the sleeves (music too, but even if we didn't like the music, we got the record). I used to go around the record shops and search with him. Was too broke to do it for myself alo

I suppose that's why "even if" precedes a number most people will accept as a common enough phrase: one in one thousand.

Good sci-fi is good philosophy. A good companion to sci-fi is history. When people nay-say because we have no proof and 'given what we know today' I am reminded that most people didn't have electricity 150 years ago. The comb

You keep saying "not something that free societies do" as though that phrase in itself has meaning, but fail to explain why. From a socialist's pov putting a profitable industry in the domain of _everyone_ and sharing the pro

Isn't that the right way to do it? Regulate against harm and leave the free market to sort out the nonsense? If someone wants to burn incense then let them.

The problem isn't finding someone introvert or extrovert to fit in with the rest of the crew, the problem is with a catch-all phrase that has lost all meaning except where it is used as a petty excuse not to hire the brown person or th

Cultural fit is a silly notion from the start. The dichotomy of arguing, as some in this thread do, that young people are better hires because they are less set in their ways, and then going on to reject diversity using the ol' 'c

Safari had this feature a few years back but appear to have removed it sometime about 3 years ago. It was great, but also removed all ads from the page, so it probably wasn't popular with online news sites.

The recent HN thread about reddit working on a redesign would be relevant in relation to that statement. What circle are reddit users? The site is a link aggregator with comments which many users will argue works well and has been successfu
