Is it possible to archive executables from the Microsoft store the way you can with most apps? (Sorry I haven't used Windows for almost a decade now.) It would be a shame to lose it, I'm sure some people use it.

I actually agree with them here. Under the original definition the Russians used when they invented the word no you can't be "racist" against a majority. You can be bigoted but racist means something more along the lines of m

Silphium used to exist which is a natural chemical birth control and there are of course less reliable methods. Not that pregnancy really stops women anyway. I think the idea of contraception makes them a little more open to promiscuity b

Isn't ignoring the results of a careful quantified experiment the opposite of scientific thinking? Sure it might be secular but it's not scientific.

Micropython is really neat as an embedded OS. I don't think there's a PC target right now though.

That sounds more like licensing issues than "being 20 years in the past."

Yeah this kind of thing comes and goes in cycles. Computers have a multiplying effect but this isn't new. When you get to the point that you're picking up women in bars you're in the same phase of the cycle we're in now.

My parents tried to set me up with their friend's kids from church when I was young. I feel like a moron for resisting that. Having teenagers/young adults handle dating themselves is cruel IMO. I know a lot of people don't li

Anything involving computers is probably going to make the situation worse. Not because of anything intrinsic to computers but because there's been a strong pattern over the past 60 years where people (especially in developed countries

The real solution is a better software culture that looks like GNU/FOSS. Such a culture would generate laws like that if a problem persisted but likely wouldn't need them.

Well we've got maybe half a generation left for them to figure themselves out before we get run over by people who never tried that and will probably undo it once they have the power to.

The problem is it's not just the economy that's going to collapse. Other groups are not on board with the collective suicide thing and are already running over developed countries and replacing our ideas with their own. Things lik

With today's employee turnover you'd lose an incredible amount of money not doing a subscription. Even Netflix Premium would be cheaper.

I thought Kaiser Busch's most recent video on the subject was very good. In short: People don't feel the world is worth bringing children into anymore, it's likely educating women doesn't help, and the relative economic

In my homebrew BEV I've started just using AC for most smaller things. It's easier than finding 48v components, the connectors are nicer than 12v (I've really come to hate cigarette lighter plugs) the high voltage means the c

It's kind of crazy how SNES and even older PC games in emulators are so much more lightweight than modern apps and games. I think if it weren't for Apple's restrictions on emulators on the iPhone there would have been a decen

Supposedly they want to extradite Americans too. I doubt that's going anywhere.

1) I don't think you'll ever be able to make an electric vehicle electrically quiet enough to make AM work nicely and if you somehow did between the shielding and all the balancing currents there's no way it would be efficien

Nope, just Northern Ontario. I've driven to their houses from the US.

This really has nothing to do with "smartness" or even technology. It's the ancient conflict between the urban interdependent elites and the rural self sufficient people, it's just harder to see now that the internet mak

After listening to stories from my Canadian friends about how hard it is to just get basic medicine like antibiotics I'd expect this to be caused by a lack of screening/diagnosis rather than actual differences in cancer rates.

Yup. Resumes tell you what's in the box but you should actually open the box and check to make sure the label is accurate.

HN is essentially a business development forum so it makes sense that's what people here would focus on.

I stopped paying attention a few years ago because their leadership was visibly heading in this direction. It's always kind of frustrating to see programmers and other software people participating/defending that kind of thing con

Property taxes in NYC are high enough that owning the land doesn't really save you much the way it does in most places.

I'm renting a cube (of sorts) in a building in Alexandria VA that sold for something like 30% of what the owners paid for it originally just the other month. We're definitely witnessing a crash in US office space prices.

A couple of other people in the thread are using it too apparently. They're the Microsoft TROCR models. You do need a moderate amount of software to deskew, process, and segment the image before handing it to the model but after that i

It's kind of crazy how infrequently ice causes civil aviation crashes these days. That seems like a really hard problem to solve.
