I had to return a new DOA phone once to Google Fi; despite having a tracking number, and being delivered back to them on the final return window day, they still charged me full new price for my used-replacement phone, after the return was a

Has anyone actually made a link between a plane being tracked, and his car somehow being tracked too? Probably not because they are unrelated, but it sure sounds scary in a short angry tweet

Ex boyfriend disappearing with a child is totally worth an Amber Alert, and a couple hundred miles is only a couple hours drive by the time they put the alert out...its easy enough to just keep an eye out for a license plate. Nobody is goin

Talking about him is very different than blindly believing he's some business god genius. He lost the mystique of being a super smart visionary and let us all see that he is really just a baffoon who lucked out with dad's money. T

Good maybe my phone number and social security number will finally be deleted and not continually used for scams. My info was "shared" as part of a hack/accounting dump. Wikileaks has little useful value that can't be fo

Sharing in the interest of getting more eyes-on. Perhaps someone can match uniform logos using image recognition. As stated on the page, if you recognize any of these objects please do not share publicly, and contact Europol directly.

If it were entirely factual, based on notible sources, and met the usual criteria, then no it probably wouldn't be deleted. If it is factually incorrect, or has no approved sources then it would be fairly easy to get help either deleti

Lucky for you Wikipedia considers editing your own page to be a conflict of interest, and is frowned upon. Article subjects are routinely reminded that they do not own their article, as it should be a reflection of notible sources that ex

I wanted to write a bit extra about wiki policy, less my opinion and more an interpretation of the current state of policy enforcement: In theory wikipedia aims to be a mirror of the current times. As they say, if wikipedia was around in th

Lowering notability to allow more entries will just lead to a flood of mediocre articles not backed by much, which wikipedia already has a problem with. The end effect is new articles don't get the attention they need, existing article

Developers can't make that decision either - given the ability to override animations will end up with all the things still animated because "we know best" A better option is to respect the user, and if your site really can&#

Good example of ignoring users is the Google Photos app, which has an option to turn off motion photo playback, but turning it off just makes a shorter, even more jarring animation instead. Its actually nauseating, and impossible to disable

Thats a strong claim without proof any website even exists that uses the exact phrase, “domain names used in movies”, other than this recent blog post

Show HN is supposed to be demonstrable; having to click a layer to to find out everything is hidden is a little bait and switch. You've really only shown you have a signup form... https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.htm

Great answer for where 29.97 came from, but I seem to be missing the explanation of 23.976 fps which is suddenly introduced as just an effect of audio post, but not how or why exactly... Edit: more specifically, if audio was being converted

Ive connected mine time to time because Amazon won't stream HD to my GPU/TV combo (rx590/LG), but will happily stream 4k via the TV's app. Not a great solution, but its nice to have the option when a friend comes over; o

Not much of a difference if it was directed at a patch or person - calling someone's end-work idiotic and unintelligent is basically saying the same of it's creator... It might be better than previous language, but it's still

If you're not poking around often like you say, then something like vim is more than acceptable. And some people prefer that to a gui editor anyway.

To expand on my example, one of ARMAs big issues is view/render distance; now that cards are much more powerful, players expect to see naked-eye objects miles away, and even farther when using optics. That patch of grass still needs t

This is neat, but I feel it really detracts from the creativity you are supposed to be exercising by using Legos in the first place. I'd hope no one lets their kids use this, or they'll just get good at assembling IKEA furniture i
