The massive influx of tourism that people are complaining about, are absolutely NOT doing extended day hikes. People are being carted in by chartered buses and tour guides. There is no way you're seeing these families, and selfie teens

That's unfortunate, I've only just begun rolling into a new project, so I can't comment on how it used to be.

QUIET YOU. Hiking is the last bastion. However I'm fairly confident that really won't ever change, at least once you get past the 2 mile marker. Tourists fade away beyond that.

Absolutely nothing. They'll either not use it like now, or not be able to afford, like now.

Or just use Amazons serverless image handler, to server up requested sizes, and cache them. https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/serverless-image-handler/

I pay roughly that in upstate NY. Sure, you can pay $8 for a basic haircut at Supercuts that takes them five minutes to cut around the outline of your head. But for anything more advanced you're going to someone skilled and that costs

Voting, since DIGG popularized the entire idea, will always be an agree/disagree button. Not the intended see more of / see less of.

We discussed this back in June, it's a despicable practice. Even using images, and logo from existing restaurant websites!

No idea, I contemplated trying to contact others who he had scammed, but I just wanted to be done with it. That little shit wasted way too much of my time. It was less about the money, and more of the point of not letting him win for being

I got scammed once, in the early days of the crypto craze. I was selling a video card on Reddit, and the person sent me a forged btc escrow email. I was naive enough not to pay attention while in a rush, and promptly shipped the card. Days

What's the point of random wiki pages on hacker news though?

I feel like there should be a separate heading for these types of fun facts. Neat information, but we're just posting a page from an Encyclopedia.

I suspect way longer than you think. Ten of thousands of small businesses don't pay attention to that stuff.

Unless English is an easier language to understanding all broken up, nearly 100% of the time I can figure out what someone who claims to be "bad" at it is saying. English speakers, particularly in the US seem to be pretty tolerant

Those people have been living in those temperatures for thousands of years. Their culture thrives in it. When heat waves hit temperate areas, people are not prepared. You sit out there in 140 degrees, and you're not going to survive ve

Yep, and some of those people die because of it. The temperature is CHANGING from their normal to extremes. People aren't prepared, that's the point. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/13/world/asi

Putting food on the table isn't really a concern if you're all dead from heat exposure. Sounds like AC has just become a basic human need in some areas.

It doesn't matter, that's the point. They are laying dividends that you wouldn't otherwise accumulate because you WAITED.

That's actually a great idea. Or how about a simple statistics email with a chart over time?

Right, but they need to be conscious of their end user. If they secure by default, and someone upgrades, their software stops working. Should PHP have had these defaults to begin with, yes absolutely. But now we're all stuck with a mil

You're vastly overestimating the technical capabilities of the average person installing or creating software.

Problem with setting secure defaults, is that most of the worlds PHP would stop working properly.

This is just going to lead to company scrip. Once again history will repeat itself.

This is exactly the reason, and it makes everything look like a horrible soap opera. 24fps and motion blur, is a lot of what makes movies, look like movies. Otherwise it turns into someones home video.
