Yes, they do... but As a commuter cyclist and former member of the 'bicycle industry', I'm going to propose an alternate view. Call this the 'libertarian theory of bike commuting' perhaps. I love the bicycle situati

Your home AC, sure. However... pretty much every facility with a physical plant (hospitals, universities, data centers, skyscrapers, factories etc.) uses cooling towers to dump heat from their internal systems into the environment. Nearly a

No contest about the 'bitrate' for eyes and ears, but we don't have to feed kids the entire library of congress in order for them to reason about text. This is what gives me cold feet about the current wave of LLMs. Where is

Philosophy of mind. It is impossible to create an artificial version of something that we cannot yet define. People need to dial back the hype and take some more time to consider why we think and what constitutes a 'sense of self'

Is huffing rosin vapor during soldering carcinogenic? I understand the lead is problematic but I never considered the flux.

Sarcastic Take: I think we should hold those who call themselves software engineers to similar standards. My view is that the world would be a much better place for it. I know this is tough, because defining safe operating parameters for

How/where? Is this actually a 'solid insurance is hard to get problem'? Neither myself or family (extended included) have experienced problems and we certainly don't have private doctors. The whole 'american healthc

Out of interest, why do you dislike regenerative brakes? This is actually an old and well proven technology.

Very little imho. All cars are becoming a nightmare to repair and are getting filled with more compute than anyone should need. Thus, I think they all sort of suck post 2018. I don't like carrying a smartphone and I certainly don'

I too live downtown in a major city but have never installed or used an app for rideshare, food delivery, dating or... In fact I pretty much don't use apps at all. Not a shut in, have a family, friend group, tech job etc. Why did this

Not an answer but your question has me curious now. I'm not old but I've got a particular worldview that could use an update. Why video? Aside from entertainment or live collaboration, I've never found video compelling for pr

There is a similar problem with the handling of homeless as far as I know. Getting a 'mentally-ill' person off the street before they do damage to others requires the state to define a mental and behavioral baseline for ones right

I would try entities in the California data broker registry as a starting point. https://www.oag.ca.gov/data-brokers De-anonymization shouldn't be that tough if you have the cash to pay for a handful of data sets that

Not arguing that, but generating smurfs on HN is pretty trivial compared to a few social media platforms I can think of. Luckily there isn't much money to be made from doing it here, unless you want to play the long game and try and pu

I think the key is that motorcycle riding hooks you into the machine in a way that few car builds can replicate. Motorcycle maintenance and riding is a tighter loop, with far higher stakes if simple procedures are not followed. Troubleshoot

Haven't read McCarthy, however it sounds like a pretty bleak take on westward expansion of the United States across the North American continent / high plains. The hole, steel and fire metaphor brings to mind the process by which

This is true. Pretty much all alt.binaries though and there is an interesting ecosystem of tools, forums and providers that you need to be aware of in order to access content.

I really value places where discussion can happen without gatekeeping. The worst is 2FA or a phone number IMHO, however nothing compares to being able to jump straight into the pool. IRC is one such place and 4chan is another. Even the HN c

This is something that I don't think gets brought up enough. Living in a city with great public transport and bike infrastructure is excellent (especially if you like to walk and cycle). It is even better if you have a car.
