Sarcasm? If you disagree with what you quoted, perhaps you could explain why? Simply saying you disagree doesn't really move the conversation forward, does it? It seems quite obvious to me those are not equivalent statements, but if

Is any cuisine, or any aspect of culture for that matter, ever not derivative? I doubt it. The Portuguese may have been early European consumers of potatoes, but they likely got that from the Spanish, who in turn got it from Central or Sou

I'm not sure how these particular devices work, "microwave" is anything from a meter to a millimeter which is a pretty broad range (300 MHz to 300 GHz.) Certainly some lengths of microwaves go through glass though, otherwise

Is this sort of process similar to what occurred in Europe during the decline of the Roman Empire when aqueducts and similar public infrastructure fell into disrepair? Did the people who witnessed that occurring notice the intergenerationa

I'd rather they use tear gas because at least cameras can see and document that being used.

I suppose I'm meant to be disturbed by this apparent militarization of federal agencies, but I doubt NASA SWAT account for much if any of the civil rights abuses going on in America right now. Rather, most of that stuff is doubtlessly

Determining whether or not that statement is wrong would require data on how much litter that park has. Do you have such data?

That somebody driving a truck or car in the normal way is doing more work than a person supervising a self driving car is the whole point of self-driving cars. They take all of the activity out of driving, but none of the tedium. I don&#

The laptop I had before the last was an Asus Eeepc that developed a dodgy AC adaptor port. I still have it and it could be made to work, but it was never a very good computer in the first place. It runs loud and hot for what it is. Befor

In my building packages are left in the lobby. It would be pretty easy for package thieves to walk off with packages, but I've not heard of anybody having trouble with that here. From what I've seen package theft is more a probl

My landlord installed cameras in the car garage a year ago after a series of car breakins. My car is in that garage, and I am not a thief, so why shouldn't I view improved security as a good thing? If the camera were pointed at my doo

The reddit redesign broke my addiction. Their redesign is so disgusting and incompetent, it reminds me of countries that require explicit medical gore to be printed on cigarette cartons. Every time I have the misfortune of finding myself

Elon has been pushing conspiracy theories about short sellers for years. As a direct consequence of this, there are many commenters on this site who believe that short selling is generally nefarious and some who even think it should be ban

If you look at the HN discussion about Nikola four years ago, it's filled with people pointing to the copycat name as a redflag. So even without hindsight, this was obvious. > They could have tried a little harder with the name. I

Those have a right to the name though; Nikola Tesla invented them.

1) I have never faked a demo. People who behave unethically often claim everybody else does it too, to assuage their guilt. These people are deluding themselves. 2) The faked demo is only the icing on Nikola's shit cake. I advise y

My last 'old laptop as a server' dying is actually what prompted me to buy the NUC. It was a chromebook pixel long out of warranty. Until it bit the dust it suited my needs. Being a bit smaller is a nice bonus, it might be sill

I recently thought about getting an RPi4 but ultimately spent about a hundred dollars more to get a cheap NUC. It was a bit more expensive but it seems like a more robust platform. A real AC adapter instead of USB (apparently the RPi4 kin

I just tried this out on a handful of PDFs, comparing it to Calibre's `ebook-convert` They seem roughly equivalent, neither better than the other. Particularly, both fail the same dehyphenations, a category of error that's extrem
