The interesting question of course, is who is paying for these services.

We had a couple. Irregardless of their design, they were great cameras. They still work. It's amazing when you can put on your 40 year old telephoto lens, and everything just works. (Manually of course.)

Very fun short read. Interesting that Feynman's conclusions about management efficiency (communication) loss, is so applicable to today's big systems, big companies, universities, schools, and governments(bureaucracies) at every s

Staking claims, where corner posts were placed at half kilometer intervals, were usually paced on foot, estimating for canyons, stream crossings, and other diversions. Some claims were continuous up to 20km by 20 km. This was in complete wi

You can use regular'car' batteries. The problem is only in the amount of power they provide by weight. Lead acid batteries can only deliver about 15-20% of their full power (these are example numbers not precise.) So let's sa

You know what's great? By the time your kids are around 9-12, you can watch these videos together. Watching just for fun, they are still a wonder to learn from, and they are so we'll presented, that the kids will likely watch with

Graphene on a pixel is great. It's easy to install, with an online, real time(live) install and load.(Do not adb, a computer, USB drive, etc etc.) It does add a bit of 'let's install a MacOS on an Alienware' feel to com

Brilliant comment. We had a principal in our little community school who had exactly that attitude. He encouraged 'playing", and was often criticized for his efforts, by parents who didn't understand. Overall, however, the ki

I think that demographic is now here. I'm mean on HN. (If they find it.)

I agree. But I think we have attribute a lot of that design simplification to Jony Ive.

Interesting. There must be interior bulkheads(walls), your idea of shear could very well happen where the bulkheads prevent tension of the inside surface.

What you wrote, is a good place to start future observations. There is a lot of unexplored dynamics to investigate, in the earth. Roiling hot fluid and gaseous systems in flux, which are magnetic - due to iron (and other minerals), is a flu

Is there something like this for North America? That would be even more fun! And then comparing the relationships between them...

You could try to put Graphene on your phone. There is a version for your phone, but they are not updating it anymore. However I think that it is a good option for a more secure, private, operating system. https://grapheneos.org&#

A fun fiction novel by John Sanford, Saturn Run, presents a neat solution for the problem of heat dissipation, in space. Fun read.

This is interesting. What does that say about the relations between them and Russia? (Can't read the article nectar paywalled.)

That's good to hear. I've been using GoDaddy for years, with same high quality tech help, and free emails, until now. Might check hover.

Thanks for confirmation. I've been fighting the settings for a few days, in multiple domains. It's not clear. Does look like all free emails are revoked. Too bad.

by pomian 4y ago
Has anyone felt that GoDaddy is doing the same thing? They just switched to Microsoft for domain hosting and email, and it's a mess, and it seems as if all of the free mailboxes are gone including, free forwarding.

I agree. I also would add to the theory that for a night owl, getting up at 4:30-5:00 am, is still getting up at night, so it is ok with whatever hormone regulatory system exists. But you are correct, you need to go to sleep around 8pm whic
