I have no doubt that milk that is 15 minutes old tastes great. My question is if that jug of milk was divided in two and one half was pasteurised, would people be able to tell the difference? You're saying yes, I'm saying I'd

Porn forums are a thing. For example, this politician lost what should have been an easy election because someone found his old comments on a porn forum - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_North_Carolina_gubernator...

Milk is my main drink. I don't drink beer or wine, it's mostly just plain milk for me. And while there is a substantial taste difference based on the % of fat, I have never seen a difference in taste between pasteurised and non-pa

I read HN for absolutely wild comments like this one. To be clear, I think you’re being completely honest here. It’s just fascinating seeing someone with such an unusual thought process.

WhatsApp had implemented the feature as early as 2018 but they were denied permission to launch. They were finally granted permission in 2020 … but only to onboard 1 million users. This limit was increased to 100 million in late 2022 and th

Same in India. WhatsApp wanted to use the payment system UPI but wasn't granted permission to do. Same reason I think - one app that handled all communication and all payments would have been too powerful.

The paragraph you pasted in states that only applications importing the Java library are vulnerable. Isn’t pandas implemented in Python/C? How would it have been importing the Java library?

Not at all. I meant it more as response to the sentiment that someone in the UK doesn’t need American goods and services, while posting on HN.

The price of solar panels isn’t static though. It might not have made sense in 2015 or 2020 or even 2025. But solar panels continue to get cheaper, so it might eventually get to a point where it’s a serious idea. Even if it costs a couple t

With how cheap solar panels are getting, why not slap a few of them on the roof of every EV? Some days they get you 10 free miles, other days 20 or 30. If you’re a commuter, you’re basically driving for free at that point. Sure it’s not eno

It's like rustup or nvm (node version manager) for Swift. Swiftly installs Swift. If all you needed Xcode for was to install Swift then yes, you can replace Xcode with swiftly.

Nah, I'm good. I've seen people play Elden Ring and it's definitely not for me. I don't even like the art style.

It's unclear what you want, exactly. Look at the list of Games of the Year I shared. There are dozens of incredible games. Have you played the games I mentioned - BG3, Hades and It Takes Two? Hit games can be similar to previous hits.

US enjoyed decades of stable 2% inflation per year, but even in the recent spate of inflation it only got as bad as 9% per year. Argentina suffered 25% inflation per month. Did you seriously not know this, or were you just being obtuse?
