From Wikipedia[0]: "The Quran, the Islamic holy book, does not prohibit the depiction of human figures; it merely condemns idolatry. Interdictions of figurative representation are present in the hadith, among a dozen of the hadith reco

Can you please elaborate on 'representational art' in this context?

One needs more than one yacht. Once you've hosted a massive orgy, you need a clean and sanitary retreat to escape to while the first one is worked on by your cleanup crew.

I think there is so much potential for a HL3. For example, messing with more recent discoveries such as the Higgs Boson to try to explain why stuff from another universe managed to be compatible with our universe, and have compatible DNA. T

I can never understand why they haven't made a HL3. Given that they could literally make approximately 3.88 bajillion dollars from it in 24 hours. I suppose this is the very definition of developer integrity.

I know I'm a bit spoiled health-services wise by being a resident of Germany. But this story is just incredible, yet completely unsurprising. I hope the US will have mandatory health insurance some day.

Wow, thanks for this info. It's incredible how much weight podcasts such as these provide to people who are basically either liars or just plain incompetent.

Please don't tell Graham Hancock[0]. He'll claim this as more proof for his ancient ice age civilisation (for which there is no evidence). [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Hancock

That would depend largely on where you're comparing it to I guess. One reason is that fuel is extremely cheap - I thinks it's only cheaper in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. When fuel cost is almost not a factor then it basically becomes

I'm replying because it's the first mention of Bahrain I've come across on HN. I spent the first 30 years of my life there. Interestingly though, I've worked on similar algorithms before, some of which are in production.

This stuff is amazing. Thank you! I especially love the mosquito app.

Thank you. Had I been smarter I would have just called an ambulance, like what my brother did in my fever dream.

I had this, in 2011. I was in another country, attending job interviews I had been invited to. It was the single worst experience of my life. I was in a hotel, a fever crept in. Then my throat was so swollen I could barely talk. I was sweat

I think my main point was about reducing all sugar, and reducing the intake of garbage carbs. "Although nuts are high in fat, it’s mainly healthier unsaturated fat. They contain protein, B vitamins, vitamin E and minerals, including ir

Cutting out sugar and useless carbs, and trying to replace those things with nuts and quality proteins - more nourishing and filling substitutes, can help a bit, I think. Mostly, try to stay away from refined sugar and products containing s

Slightly off-topic: Seasonality is something which has intrigued me for a few years now, especially since the covid pandemic, and I've been reading a lot into it. There are plenty of papers out there which try to explain viral seasonal

Waaaay back in 2011, I withdrew from SSRIs (particularly, Seroxat). I had moved countries, had run out of it, and bravely decided to stop altogether. Brain shocks kicked in a couple of days later. They were not painful but they were definit

It honestly looks like something that will be available on eBay for under $200 in packs of two, at some point.

What is striking about these casualties, is many of the reported deaths also include large numbers of family members of the deceased, killed at the same time. So what is it then? The plausible deliberate targeting of the journalists mention

I own a fully maxed-out MacBook Air M2. I suppose, there's no point in upgrading, from the point of view of a developer? I'm not quite sure why the comparisons on the marketing page are against the M1 Air. For a desktop (which doe
