And Australia. We got rid of 1c and 2c coins back in the 90s.

I've been using Google Maps for years and didn't even notice this feature. Wow. If you're on an iPhone there's Find My Friends that I use often.

Yes I went through this exact thing recently. I tried Gnome, then XFCE, then i3. I settled with i3 reacting to my connecting/disconnecting my laptop from my monitor, but even then the resolutions never looked correct. I ended up sellin

I love prepared checklists! It's the ultimate productivity hack for me. I spend time upfront preparing the list, and then I go into auto-pilot everytime I use it. No stress, no cognitive load, no questioning whether you've forgott

What do you mean by "reproductive strategies"?

An excellent read, but my only doubt is whether this is effective because all your peers have been raised this way. Ie - If someone raises his/her child like this in our western society it might be conflicting for the child to learn ho

I want to be hopeful of this, but according to the article: "In the U.S., UBS is contesting charges from ... the financial crisis more than a decade ago." That was 10 years ago, and and it's still being argued in court. I can

Though I'm sad that a lot of developers dislike scala, I'm certainly glad to see some of it's* good parts being incorporated into current and new languages: Pattern matching to various degrees in Kotlin, now C#, and soon Java

Is there any way of proving this? My skeptical mind says they're stockpiling a large portion of that money in banks/stocks and getting massive returns with interest/dividends.

Sorry this is off topic, and I only found this out because I accidentally clicked on your alias rather than the topic. You've made 4 other exact posts in the last 12 days: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=dbsmashe

Thank you. I just noticed this too. I wonder what the UX reasoning for this was? I just assumed that they had some metric indicating that not many people used it...

By "beaten-up" I'm assuming you mean second-hand, in which case this is an unfair comparison. I'm sure that with time we'll have second-hand models of these tiny cars. The cost would definitely make it more tempting

Yes I noticed that too. It made me think that (a) it was somehow ok to do this to (especially to children), and (b) what other non-photographed atrocities were committed and never spoken of.

It might be a far stretch to say that they've been "replaced". At least in my area the traditional vegetarian options are still there alongside these newer items. It's not to your taste, which is fine. There are meat-eat

From what I read, and someone please correct me on this, they put a bunch of scientists in a room to do their work without any influences from industry and lobby groups. I love this. Great job Canada!

See, this means that I need to do this for every site I want to search in advance. With Chrome I literally just have to visit the site. No creating bookmarks, nothing.

Good work guys. For those using Firefox, I have one question. Is there any way to replicate Chrome's tab-to-search feature? It's literally the ONLY reason I'm still on Chrome. Let me explain by showing how I would search

I just went through this so let me give you my thoughts/experience. Separate work and job-hunting as two different skill sets in your mind. Use any note-taking tool of your choice (I used EverNote) and write up: - Standard algorithm qu

Hi Peter thanks you for doing this. On an H1B here. I have a job offer where the company's lawyers have confirmed that it would be safe to start once they send the H1B transfer and receive the FedEx receipt that it got to the USCIS. Wh

Keep in mind the scarce few people that are actually affected by this disease. No doubt that this factored heavily into the high price.

It's the addition of RAM that kills the price though. A jump from 32GB to 64GB is $800USD!

I'm pretty sure that GDPR is for Europe, whereas this article is about the US.

It originated from the emancipation of slaves, where restaurant owners didn't want to suddenly pay slaves, and so the onus went onto the customers. There are articles on the internet. Just type in "tipping slavery" in google.

The parents comment still seems to hold though. What you're talking about is a fixed time period that you knew was going to end (once the contracts' deadlines arrived). Imagine having to continue working like that.

What would be interesting is if they limited the AI's ability to that of humans. Ie - simulate how fast a human could potentially group select and point-click, etc. Now THAT would be interesting. Until then, yes as you put it, the AI w

You know what's worse? I actually paid to become a member last week and I STILL see ads! A HUGE banner ad up the top and two big ads along the right hand side. Guess who'll be cancelling his fledgeling subscription?

I'm pretty sure it's an American thing. Where I'm from it's been a short 1 to 2 hour interviews spread across a week or two. Similar to what you're used to I'm sure. The downside of the American model is that i
