I was thinking the same thing as I read this. Keep in mind, these examples are meant to illustrate how Actors work, not how to write good banking code.

> You seem to be claiming it's better to travel 50 miles a day by car than 10 miles a day, which is clearly wrong. I don’t understand at all how you interpret what I said to mean this.

The catch-22 of solar roofed cars is the time of year when they are likely to be most useful—during the summer—the last thing you want to do is park your car in the sun to charge. Whatever benefit you gain from solar charging, you lose as s

If your commute is less than 5 miles a day, you should probably be riding a bike or an ebike. Pushing around a big car to travel what is essentially walking distance is a waste (and expensive). Even 10 miles a day is easy ebike range.

I live in Oregon which is the same latitude as much of Europe. In the height of summer, days are 16 hours long which leaves a near perfect 8 hours of dark for sleep. It's just a tiny bit south of London and Berlin. About even with Pari

You are missing the point. It is difficult to sleep with natural light. That doesn't mean we collapse to the ground when it gets dark. As I said, we rise with the sun , and stay awake so long as it makes sense.

I was referring to the cost of pruning free comments. If people had to pay, comments sections would be almost completely empty. Any fee attached to commenting is little different from just banning comments. Few will pay to put their $0.02 o

There is crap in every comments feed everywhere. There is crap on Twitter, on Facebook, on YouTube. If good auto moderation tools were readily available, they would be used on a lot of these platforms. Moderating comments is hard. The big g

Hacker News sells inline advertising. Job posting adverts crop up pretty much daily on here which are adverts. It's a recruiting tool. As for expenses, HN seems like a lean site and likely doesn't require a ton of resources. I thi

If everyone did it, it would work fine. Business hours : 1 hour after sunrise until 10 hours after sunrise. Even without that, many of us have flexible hours and can either start work earlier, or just do something before work when we have t

We live fairly rural so it's not a huge issue. The moon is usually the brightest thing we have to deal with. I have considered automated black out blinds even for that (plus for daytime movie viewing and naps!)

You and I are very much alike in thinking. Sunrise is the logical start of the day. For appointments and scheduling, using GMT makes sense. For any other reference, hours after local sunrise makes much more sense.

I actually do something very similar. The light doesn't fade in, but I have some strip lighting which turns on before my alarm. It's a great way to get moving in the morning without a jarring alarm.

Many of these ISPs are shitty because they service the hardest to reach places. Comcast and Verizon have gobbled up billions in government aid to bring service to rural areas and end up delivering only to fringe areas which they can reach e

MacBook Air isn't marketed as a "Gaming" laptop, nor would anyone buy it as such. Claiming it's compromised because it's not great for gaming is like claiming the Xbox is compromised because it's not good at vi

Removing comments is "censorship" which is liable to get your site boycotted or troll bombed. Removing the commenting system is just good sense.

I suppose it depends largely on whether you consider a laptop with a 1080p laptop and a sluggish SSD a good value. Seems to me often the “Value” you get is simply going cheap on components. Mediocre display, barely useable trackpad, slow SS

I think switching days in the middle of the workday is the single biggest good argument for time zones. When lunch is is something you’d get used to quick. Having it be Monday before lunch and Tuesday after would be a head F*. It would also
