   I read Kabloona by Gontran de Poncins a couple decades ago and it's stuck with me ever since. I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned online before. It's high on my list of books that should be top-rated classics, bu

   It took me a few articles to even find it mentioned, so I'll repeat it here in case anyone else was wondering: it's rear wheel drive only.

   The article has a section "Why Scots/Doric are not included" that covers this: "This map is specifically of the English language, and Scots (and its subset, Doric), are not English." It then links to another articl

   That's wild. I searched, though, and this is the closest I found: https://www.cerebraltaxadvisors.com/blog/vacation-business-t... . Is there a link you could share for the actual fake conference approach?

   I found the linked article hard to follow. I think he was trying to write in a very colloquial manner but still using some terms of art in a way that is specific to his field. Maybe someone could help me figure out a couple passages? &quot

   I think 'nopinsight' and the paper are arguing that the drop is 10%, not that the final score is 10%. For example, Deepseek-R1 dropped from 96.30 to 85.19. Are you actually arguing that a child guessing randomly would be able to

    Along those lines, one big thing I worried about when reading your article was whether the camera's auto-white-balancing might be throwing everything off. I'm not sure how it works on an iPhone, but I'd suspect that presence

    Where the final '!' means 'factorial' not just an emphatic 6. "6 factorial" is 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720.

    I'm ignorant of the mechanics of these sales. My guess would be that Canada sells these Treasury bonds on the open market. A day later, some millions or billions of USD appears in their account somewhere. Where is this account? What

    Do you think they really mean "per liter" of the actual sample or is this possibly the amount in an already diluted solution that they made from the sample? It seems like an odd unit of measurement otherwise. What would have been

    All true. But instead of writing a blog post complaining about it, I think you'd be better off voting with your feet and choosing a solution that puts the answer you want at the top of the list. Cut your losses and move to something t

    I presume you are familiar with the standard counter argument that the Constitution says "elected" rather than "serve"? Here's a Constitutional law professor arguing 25 years ago that Bill Clinton was constitutional

    It was marked dead, probably automatically for some reason that would be hard to decipher. At a glance, it seems like an appropriate use of Show HN. I vouched for it and gave it an upvote. Good luck!

    I definitely could, and technically it would be easy. This is probably the way most people would solve this. But I don't because I don't like giving in to opinionated technology. But I may end up doing so if I eventually encoun

    I don't think that's quite right. I think some combination of having "Trump" in the title and theatlantic.com as the host and possibly something specific to the submitter penalized it so that it never hit the front page.
