I've actually never tried their coffee. I just remember hearing about them using robusta for the caffeine content and finding that interesting.

Death Wish Coffee has been using robusta in blends with arabica for a decade because of the higher caffeine content. https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/blogs/coffee-talk/the-rise-o...

It's a lower cost option that teaches kids just as well. I'd argue that the more political, advocate-y option is by spending more money to support closed source private options when it's unnecessary.

Not only schools, but any public entity. Taxpayer dollars should be respected. That means embracing lower cost options, supporting open source projects, and pushing for right to repair.

I'm not associated with Keychron, but I have their K7 with optical "brown" switches. The travel seems normal to me and I've had no complaints about the sound. Other switches may be louder. Absolutely no complaints on des

Me reading the HN title and looking at the example image on github after clicking the link: "This is dumb." Me reading the "Why use Browsh?" statement: "Oh, I was completely wrong. This is actually brilliant."

I prefer go to chess.Each piece is the same. There is no hierarchy. The goal isn't to topple a king. The goal is to get more territory. It's easier to teach a child the rules, but it is more difficult to master because there are m

I agree with the blogger that you should go with a smaller sensor size. In addition to better price points, they have less scanning to do for each image and should work better for this scenario. I've heard reports of some full frame mi

Thanks. You're probably right. After my comment, I found the rest of their lineup, and it looks like the one that would suit my needs is the Atom: https://www.unihertz.com/products/atom

Is it waterproof? A small phone like this would be ideal for working out or hiking. But between sweat and rain, I'd want it to be waterproof for those scenarios.

Accounting firms have rules like this that they take very seriously. They will force you and your family to get rid of certain stocks if the firm has a relationship with the company. It's seen as normal and reasonable. Congress and the

I hadn't thought of that, thanks. I suppose if there's a trend of users quitting when they get to a certain sign up field, the company can determine if that field can be changed or removed.

Privacy concerns aside, I'm having trouble understanding the value prop. It's more to build and maintain, requires more bandwidth and storage, and the resulting dataset is mostly noise or not significantly different from what was

Their study looks not specifically at a storage site, but that along with the sites for processing a new memory for storage, and processes for recalling a memory from storage. When you see something, that visual input is processed in a cert

Deer like the edges of forests. Lots of wildlife departments purposely shape forests to have more edge areas in order to increase the deer population so they can sell more hunting licenses.

Having it both ways is best serviced by cities that reduce sprawl. If you want to be where things are happening, it's right there. If you want nature, it's just outside of the city. Sprawl creates miles and miles of area that isn&

Yes. Cities should build up instead of out. That means changing building codes and zoning laws to reduce restrictions on building heights. It also means investing in transportation that can move people around with less space, like light rai

Habitat is the major factor for wildlife populations. In 1900, Vermont was 30% forested after settlers cut down the forests for wood, farmland, and mining. Now, Vermont is over 70% forested. Tax structure is a large factor, but certainly no

You can't control if people think your viewpoint is extremist or guilt-inducing. Some viewpoints can be logically categorized as being at the end of a defined spectrum. Many cannot, and there is much room for debate on whether or not t

They swooped into a field they were not experts in and caused problems. Intentions are beside the point. They thought they were the smartest ones in the room but they didn't understand the underlying issues.

Mixed reviews. The Gates Foundation pushed an initiative to grade teachers based on student test scores, essentially. That only made problems in the education sector worse. Ask any teacher and they'll tell you what the problems are, an
