I would actually love to see an example of every list item he's presented. Well, except maybe the last one, might be disingenuous to ask for that.

For anyone wondering about previous precedents for reviving frozen multicellular creatures, here's my response to a now-deleted comment: There are shorter-term examples of frogs [0] (up to a few years) and tardigrades [1] (30 years) bu

$10 for a full meal (not including tax and tip) is probably unrealistically low for the bay area. State and city minimum wages are increasing (SF is $14/hr and they have other mandates like healthcare coverage) so food and restaurant p

"seemingly" disappear. How is this any different than, say, the banned "microbeads"? This just puts tiny fragments of plastic into the environment, which is even more difficult to collect/recycle/sequester than

I remember the days of roll-your-own proggies and feeling like we'd hit the saturation point of what we could do within AOL... but then discovering how to replace Winsock32.dll and install Netscape Navigator and starting to learn what

I agree with some of your criticism, but also criticize how you have thrown out some off-the-cuff beliefs that I would suggest are not true or irrelevant (not all of them though) and wish I could help participate in further research and col

I agree, it's slow, unnecessary, and totally annoying. On a slightly similar vibe... if you're gonna take a picture of your laptop for the banner image on your web page, at least try cleaning the screen first. The dirty spots and

Ah, this reminds me of fond memories of watching The Matrix converted to ASCII.

I think that was outlined as one of the very first tricks in the post. I don't have a system available at the moment to test that with. Also, it explores doing the same thing without a Linux system, and shows the various ways such file

usql != U-SQL. One is a database client, the other a database language. This could become confusing.

If only defaults matter, then it's already a dead horse, as the majority of users don't know what DNS even is, and are using their ISP's servers by default.

I agree and hope you didn't think I was disagreeing with this angle on things. It really is a double-edged sword in that respect.

I am appalled at the apparent ignorance/disbelief in so many comments from people who don't find it obvious that location history data from Google/FB is useful and profitable for them to have.

I'm kinda trying to figure out why this is on HN today. Usually articles, even reposts, contain some sort of novel content or ideas. Recursive CTEs in SQL databases are well known and have been for years.

Yeah exactly... while higher bandwidth may open the door for some new things in games... I think it's possible there is not a single game out there that really needs even as much bandwidth as a single HD video stream. The limiting fact

One of the biggest problems, if not the biggest, for people in tech (especially new CS students, etc) is knowing how to ask the right questions. There's several 'layers' of tech-speak that people learn (or not) to adopt, and

'Silicon Valley' and 'Wall Street' have become sort of extreme synecdoches that carry tons of baggage when used. While often useful, I find they are becoming increasingly disingenuous in regards to current state or at le

Either way, this is a terrible argument toward good security. "Oh, someone got a copy of your fingerprint? No problem! There's a belt sander right over there!"

The Reddit example extends to Android as a whole - I can't speak to Apple iOS due to inexperience. Browsing websites with a companion app always prompts you to view in the app or install the app, and the presentation is always biased t

FYI on Fi there are many devices that seem to work well, even if they aren't on the official list of supported devices. Fi also supports additional devices using a data-only SIM, which doesn't cost any extra except for the per-GB

Extrapolating this concept in various and biased directions... you could say that intelligence, behavior, and evolution (defined as physical iterative behavior across successive reproductive generations) are products of random changes/
