Engineers, free from writing thousands of lines of boilerplate, now have more time to review code and be more efficient in that armed with LLMs. E.g. instead of asking a question about the code and waiting for the author to respond, I can a

We are not in a court, so even if there was a legal definition of "public", which does not appear to exist, it would not matter. The question is why HN "urbansits" are so livid about HOAs and want to replace them with mu

By your definitions public companies do not exist - most public companies are not funded by state. But sure, in this framework HOA's are "private" but so are the municipalities - they are not funded by state. And, obviously,

What do you mean they are "private"? HOA literally means the association of all home owners, who are members and set, follow, and enforce its bylaws. It's a public institution, same as a municipality. The difference is in how

Municipalities in the US are the same type of institution as HOA, self-organized to maintain property. Just like you may not have an HOA you may not have a municipality of any kind. Counties and states are usually not equipped to do mainten

There is no "low end" , such a huge difference shows that both studies are not reliable.

Also, the same on the exercise side: the most efficient fat loss exercise (literally oxidizing body fat) is moderate intensity high volume aerobic one. You don't need a gym membership, a coach, or a fancy machine to do this. And if you

The actual studies [1],[2] that tried to measure this came to very different rates of height loss though: 3.6 cm and 6 cm from 40 to 80 in men. This does not look like a serious fact. 1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10547

I am not saying that. I am saying that the theory about absolute amount of fat being bad for health, as stated by the comment you responded, seems to be supported by data.

The mean height for men at 20-29 is 69.2" and 80+ is 67.1" (measured in 2015-2018, the last data I've found) [1], which could be interpreted as shorter people having lower risk of all mortality. One could say that people are

If it's not in the bed then its vibrating not going to reach you, what wakes you up is the noise it makes while vibrating on some surface and this noise is heard by others just as well.

What do you actually mean? Bikes have parts with names that are not common knowledge, do they use these names instead of showing you pictures or something? It's same with every trade: a car mechanic, a carpenter, a plumber etc will use

It's one possibility but what happens to these political threads is, more likely, auto-flag due to having more downvotes than comments. This always catches redditors by surprise because, I figure, on Reddit it's an encouraged beha

Indeed, I didn't see studies so my theory is that most people find sleeping with a phone in the bed much more uncomfortable than with a watch on the wrist.

The killer feature of modern watches is the vibration alarm - you can wake up even if you use earplugs/headphones/noise machine and you won't wake up anyone else along with you. Health stuff like sleep tracking is likely usef

"Yes, this is why" is in reference to scale here? I don't see how it's "why". Cell phone tracking follows you where a police officer physically cannot follow you (on private property, for example). This is why,

But if there are no bike lanes then how do the cyclist become invisible in your world? Even with bike lanes, I just don't seem to understand the geometry of the issue. If cyclists are passing cars in the bike lane for whatever reason t
