I think the assumption that diets have materially improved needs to be clarified and challenged. I very much doubt that in the West, our diets have 'improved' since (say) the 50s/60s. The increase in sugars in just about ever

This. I can't count the number of times I've been at an intersection with lights, waiting to turn but being forced to wait because the arrow is red - even though there is NO competing traffic from any direction. Behind me, cars st

It will have been 40 years in 2027. Give it another 3 years and I think we'll be close. It will be a $10 part (ok, maybe a $50 part) in a $3000 phone.

I think though, that in the absence of true AGI, it's not technically possible for the "AI" in and of itself to be an existential threat to humanity. For now, that remains the province of humans. We are and continue to be our

Back in 1987 I started my first job at the Australian DoD. Our group's remit was explosives testing and instrumentation. One of my jobs was to program a hardware controller/sequencer[0] that would trigger numerous equipment: deton

Apologies for getting my facts wrong. You are of course correct. Re: snark - the point of HN is that we are better than that. If someone is snarky, then we shouldn't respond in kind. But I get it. It's easier to say than to do.

I love this!!! As a non-American, let me say never has a brand name been so out of sync with a car design. That thing is anything but an "Old"-smobile. Looking at it I also thought how cool it would be if the dash were entirely mo

Comparinging by volume produced/consumed, I think it's reasonable to pretty much ignore all non-borosilicate glass for the purpose of this discussion. And the snark doesn't add to the discussion.

I believe the ambiguity stems from the different interpretations arising from reading “open” as a verb vs as a noun. I.e. a double entendre.

First feedback I have is that the name "Lunix" was already taken by the "LUnix" project back in 2000, which developed a Unix-like OS for the C64/C128 [0] (that's right, the Commodore 64!). Although, to be fair,

Bottom line is this: there is absolutely no good reason for not doing rolling updates. Do a few and make sure they are ok. Keep rolling out in groups. This single approach alone would've meant that this event was of marginal impact to

My understanding is that the culture (as reported by some customers) is quite aggressive and pushy. They are quite vocal when customers don’t turn in automatic updates. It makes sense in a way - given their fast growth strategy (from nowher

In Australia we had (for a brief moment) a carbon tax. It was mercilessly vilified by the Murdoch press who aided and abetted one of the darkest periods of Australian political life in decades, and resulted in the downfall of a government.
