The slope in Park Slope is very mild. I’ve never heard any suggestion it inhibits biking in any way. The neighborhood is also much longer across the slope than up and down it, and the retail and recreational corridors are situated according

Has Hacker News ever considered a policy against undated articles? I have no idea when this was written. It uses the word "today" four times and is written in the present tense but is it referring to events as of a day ago, a mont

I enjoyed this post, but I take issue with the idea that Chrome was initially adopted, or served, "to break the Web free from corporate greed." Chrome's appeal was primarily technical. Each tab got its own process and could c

I had no idea that a $50 cost overrun on a disk drive pushed them up $500 to $1995! Not sure I agree with the logic there. Then it seems to have been one bad executive call from there to $2495 (thanks, Sculley). So you could argue (it'

Notice all the emphasis on how the Mac would benefit from being $1500, significantly cheaper than many other machines of the era, even Apple //. Macintosh instead debuted at $2495 — considered by many in hindsight a big mistake. T

On what basis are you suggesting the Atlantic article is made up?

Interesting that you're postulating a ~19 year conspiracy to fabricate a man across at least two LA Times articles from 2000 and this Atlantic piece in 2019. And I guess celebrity rapper KRS One, quoted in the Atlantic, would have to b

Although it's silly to say RSS is dead given how pervasive the feeds remain and that it's used for podcasting, one of the most vibrant corners of online media, it is interesting to think about why it has fallen out of favor as a w

Would Keybase Teams fit the bill, with end to end encryption? Or has to be on-prem, even if encrypted, for your requirements? (I don't have any association with Keybase, I've just investigated this product as a Slack alternative.)
