Maybe someone adventurous could reach out to the Russian government and request that the site be taken off any lists that may or may not exist, and invite them to their housewarming party? Though Russia seems like a country that would say &

Ideally with Pinewood Derby cars, you want to place the weight up as high as possible (in the rear) to convert potential energy into kenetic energy. Tungsten weights are smaller, so the center of gravity can be slightly higher if you elevat

No, there is a weight limit. There is no practical size advantage compared to using cheaper lead weights.

It's off-topic, and complaining about votes is against the HN guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

From the albeit little feedback I've heard, I hear the Spectre 4K dumb TVs are decent enough. They go up to 75" and Walmart sells them. But yes, I want a bigger market for "dumb" products such as cars, and other consume

When I take a nap and set the alarm on my phone to vibrate only instead of ringing, I place the phone on my chest so that it wakes me up. Because of this post on HN, if I ever get an ICD, I now know better. I wonder how many people don&#x

I highly reccomend buying a dumb 4K TV and if you really want to use Chromecast, buy a dongle you can upgrade as better dongles come out. If you need a suggestion on where to start, Walmart sells Spectre brand 4K dumb TVs up to 75".

It sounds like Nvidia might have violated the law (in the U.S.). Companies cannot arbitrarily deny warranties just because a customer opened something, unless the opening is what damaged the product. That's why those "warranty v

They already are required, it's just that the fines are too small (~$100/day IIRC).

Thank you everyone (including OP) who clarified that it was "it's said".

I think OP meant that "driving through Chicago" was pretty large/vague area for someone just trying to buy cigarettes. It's like saying I was driving through the United States to go to my local corner store. I wouldn&#x2

The idea that people never accidently click the wrong button is a joke, especially content moderators who are most likely getting PTSD from the job. Do you invite the police into your home to watch what you do to make sure you aren't b

What laws make it illegal for a regular person to republish a list of SSNs and corresponding names?

It's probably how you telegraph it to them. For example, you chose the username "brokeAF" ("broke as f***"), it could be a fun play with irony, but for someone who doesn't know about your wealth, it would just

Over the last year or so, I started get obvious spam (weird spellings with numbers or other characters and such) in my Gmail inbox on average once a day.

The content reviewer isn't going to see an image in enough detail to determine that it is obviously A1 material, so yes, the content reviewer will err on the side of caution.

Police often rubber-stamp computer-generated evidence of infractions (facial-recognition that does not visually match is one very-applicable example), and content moderators are probably paid less.

Did the author pay to use those human-created examples? I have a feeling that if they didn't, the freelancer site probably has some fine print against using them.

It's possible that the operator accidently clicks the wrong button. When dealing with a monotonous task that the operator is probably getting PTSD from, I think the chance is greater than 0%. Articles about content moderators and PTSD:
