My concern is the spirit of sensible public discourse here on HN. It has nothing to with one’s position on any particular issue. In any case, one would want and need credible information to make a justified judgement, not to have evidence o

OP here. I have been monitoring this post on and off and it seems like a significant number of people are flagging it. It went onto the front page at least twice (both times ranked in the 10s) and disappeared from there. As of now, it is b

Sympathy for _what/who_? They implemented a unnecessary, ineffective lockdown for two months and a mandatory nationwide tracking system (which differs wildly from the open sourced version they published) without any published efficacy

I think it would depend on what is your definition of “good”. If it is simply measured economical terms then he seems fine. However if you care about things such as freedom of expression or political rights, I don’t think Singapore has made

This is precisely my first thought as well. It makes for a half-decent Hollywood plot but IRL? My guess is there’s got to be more than what meets the eye. Propaganda piece perhaps?

I’m curious how does a bad (terrible) “full self driving” car make you realise humans are “really terrible drivers”. I can see how some drivers can miscalculate and end up making a risky manoeuvre. It happens, intentionally or not, and most

I think this is a much needed wake up call for the general public on the “promises” of self-driving vehicles. We also need more data on the capabilities and limitations of all sorts of self-driving or assisted vehicle modes. Based on the an

You can try shifting the steering wheel a little right before you’re about to go. The car will sense it and attempt to restart the engine. That might give you a little more time to restart the whole car if it fails to restart automatically.

Very interesting proposition. Israel, directly or indirectly, has a very significant influence in the US and I doubt this will ever happen. Edit: Typed “never“ instead of “ever”

Wouldn’t it make more sense to use some sort of energy weapon on the target satellite _if_ the intention is to disable enemy satellites (as suggested by the article)?

I loved Raised by Wolves as well, especially how they modded the religious’ outfits after the crusaders. HBO has other shows such as His Dark Materials and The Nevers that are good too. They certainly aren’t afraid to be anti-(organised)rel

Sea otters are known to be more aggressive than river otters but I do not think they view humans as preys. It is probably a territorial or mating reason in your case. I have read different reports of what the OP mentioned. The official stat

My comment is getting downvoted but I still stand by my opinion that otters are not inherently aggressive like how a lion or tiger is. Extra care should be taken when dealing with wild animals, even if they look small and adorable. Running

I believe they are aggressive only to the extent of defending their territory or defending their pups. In fact, all carnivorous animals can be aggressive. They are not aggressive like how a lion or tiger is to humans. Their main diet consis

There have been no clarity on the status of “being able to stay on iOS 14”. Previously, you could stay on iOS 14.8.1 and the system saw it as “fully updated” but with the option to upgrade to iOS 15. Now, any devices with Automatic Updates

You got it there other way around. It was Europeans who evolved for the consumption of milk (likely due to the environment/diet) while the rest of the world didn't, like other mammals. The production of lactase to digest lactose d

Intriguing idea but not sure if it holds up upon further scrutiny. Alcoholic drinks have been around since at least as early as the Neolithic period (10,000BCE) and the earliest archaeological evidence shows that they have been around in Ch
