> No, it's zero. Look, I just opened up flightradar24 and clicked a random plane. That was G-DHKC, a 757-256, first flight 1989. 33 years. And that's just a random pick. There are many airframes from mid-late 1970s still flying

Not everyone lives in a city center. For me, the are two international airports ~20 euro by cab away, while the rail stations are like ~30-40 euro away through unpredictable traffic.

WebUSB is insane security-wise. About the only worse thing would be a WebPCIe.

It's called 'belief'. Faith, religion. Once you believe, nothing else matters.

The alternative is a catamaran. Your point on the diesels still stands. Properly designed cats are unsinkable and don't readily capsize, but not weathering a storm is worth every penny invested in diesels. Besides one needs them in mar

Solar+batteries sort of can do it, but that wasn't ever attempted on the Moon, while ritegs are a very well known and proven tech. This all pales beyound mounting the cables though. If anyone does _that_ then the power issues are moot.

Tires were hemp-reinfoced plastic, then steel-reinforced plastic, they are now actually fiberglass-reinforced plastic. It doesn't matter. So long as elasticity is provided not by gas compression, but solid material compression/ten

That will interfere with cooling. Heat buildup will reduce lifespan. This was researched and practiced since at least first world war, with pioneering applications dating to 1850s. TLDR: internal friction in the rubber kills it. Acceptable

Yep, they don't care so long as you don't cause problems for them. If only they didn't put 5.14 kernel into their rescue image this summer, but that's another story.

What's with Google? It's not like Google is the Internet. About everyone I feel a need to connect with understands that, so they don't use gmail, at least exclusively. If a company trying to hire me can't receive email f

IDK maybe it's my tendency to keep a low profile. Or some other perceptual bias. But in last 5 years levels of spam never even remotely approached levels what I remember from 2000s, when my job was actually fighting it (at an ISP). All

SPF, DKIM, DMARC... all useless. I somehow live without all those for what, since before they appeared. 2001 in fact. With my own MX. They are just ineffective bandaids.

I sometimes wonder where logic is, if it isn't on HN. Surely if one takes measures against only existing material, and not production of new, this only encourages appearance of new material. For evidence you can look up what happened w

What an absolute bullshit. Seriously, you propose to deny adults freedom of thought because there are "wrong" thoughts, defined by "reasonability ", which isn't and can't be defined? In this line of thought you
