In recent versions of iOS, it literally says "Your carrier may charge for SMS messages used to activate iMessage" (or FaceTime or iCloud) ... so at least you know what's going on. It also gives you the option to cancel before

Does PSN use AWS? From the reports on twitter, it looks like it's more than just USA that's down. I'm in Canada, but see some reports of it not working in Europe as well.

Hi Kingsloi. So sorry to hear this. I just wanted to say that I hope time will deal with the pain. You'll always have the memory of her life, and of your love for her.

Kids haven't been on Facebook for more than a decade. It's all TikTok and Discord for my 3 kids.

As someone who has driven across Canada on numerous occasions, it's a special kind of zen. I did BC to Newfoundland by myself, and 16-hour driving days were normal. I listen to podcasts, audiobooks, etc.

The mutation is random, but the selection isn't random. If a mutation offers an advantage, even a tiny one, over time and generations is will be selected more than the non-mutation.

huh? It was a legit question. I've lived in a lot of places with different dialects of English. Where a term in one place is seen as harmless, but means something completely different in another. In this case, I've never heard

Really interesting work. I love the different models of how a fly moves around. This jumped out at me, though: >If we take a look at the animation now, we can see the flies look slightly more realistic (if not still a bit spazzy) Is &q

Isn't the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion still going ahead? Didn't the Canadian federal government actually buy the pipeline company, and offer to indemnified any investor for any delays caused by other governments?

I'm really interested in the Pulp web-based development environment. I'm planning on picking up some of these to try with some junior-high and high school students in the fall -- if Covid is over by then :-)

Well, then they're judged on their extra-curricular, volunteering and community activities, rather than their SATs. I'm willing to bet poorer people don't do so well on those.

How about LBRY / Odysee? https://lbry.com/ https://odysee.com/ Supposed to be decentralized and can even "synchronize" your YouTube channel's content.

For some of us in Northern Canada, this is how we alert bears that we're approaching. Even when not biking, we use "bear bells" that make constant noise. You don't want to sneak up on a bear.

Definitely "demo data" being used. It's obvious, when you see photos of EU plates with "San Diego California" listed as the location.

Is the light pollution in the North Sea really that intense? How about the Grand Banks off Atlantic Canada / Newfoundland? Are these due to oil platforms? I find it hard to believe that the light pollution at the head of the Grand Ban

Coincidence ... my town is actually installing these in anticipation of a Spring flood. Here's a drone video I took today! https://youtu.be/JRe2a-zHDbg I didn't realize they were water-filled!

Weird to see my favourite Newfoundland newspaper on Hacker News. Unrelated fact -- my first job many decades ago was delivering the physical version of this newspaper. I'm happy to see they are still in business, even if this is a Reut

I don't think this is completely accurate, nor is it recent. Their "community edition" is open source and free: https://www.pfsense.org/download/ Also, they have https://github.com/pfsens

He mentions the Bloomberg "big hack" story that seems to have never been confirmed or corroborated. What ever happened to that anyway? Did they ever find these supposed chips in servers at Amazon and Apple?
