Medical consent is "pointless whining?". There's also nothing personal or sentient about organ harvesting prisoners too. The desire to not have parts of your body kept alive after death is pretty common. Maybe it's a goo

From the title "lena" and the reference to compression algorithms made with MMAlcevedo, it's clear that the story is trying to draw parallels to image processing. In which case being able to store images has come decades befo

It's interesting that instead of posting the report itself, or even a detailed article that criticizes the report, the top article on HN is a bland summary of an accusation from a third party with no direct quotes or attribution. It&#x

And I'm an albino penguin from Mars. If you'd actually have relatives in China you would be able to see very clearly that they handled the pandemic far better than the US. It's disappointing that this generic "don't

80% of Toyotas ever made are still on the road[0]. I know plenty of people who drive Toyotas older than they are. I have high doubts most Teslas won't be bricked by poor software within the decade. [0] https://www.toyotaofna

It should be illegal to make a gear selector with no tactile feedback. People have died from poorly designed gear selectors. Having the car guess the direction you drive in also sounds like the most braindead thing ever. It won't be lo

It's not "news" at all. Have you ever been to Indonesia? Do you speak Indonesian? Have you even interacted with any Indonesians? Have ever read a book in Indonesian? Neither you or I have any contextual information to qualify

You're using Windows examples. Directory names are case insensitive on Windows. On Linux system directories and command names have always been lowercase only for good reason. Why should I have to memorize the fact that the folder for t
