In my experience no one really uses ST/DT properly in the US in casual email… in fact I can’t remember the last time I received a human-written email referencing EDT or PDT. For some reason everyone just defaults to PST/EST. I’ve

I haven't used them personally but Simple Analytics[1] launched here on HN back in 2018[2] and seems to be growing nicely. They bill themselves on their landing page as "EU-based & hosted. No cookies and a direct yes from your

Pre-bankruptcy AA was so good. Exec plats were treated super well and their fleet was massive— even if a plane had an issue they could almost always hot-swap it out for another one. Despite the website feeling dated now it used to be one o

The best feature on the Mac's built in calculator is the paper tape (⌘+t) which I stumbled on ages ago while accidentally having the calculator open and trying to open a new tab in my browser. I always leave it open now and it has save

It really was constructed strangely (feels like an 80s mall in the darker corridors). I feel like the actual attractions are cool but the connections between them are not inviting in a way that makes you want to explore our stick around.

Simon is hanging onto something like 93% occupancy despite the last few pandemic years which is pretty impressive.

It's kind of fun to see all the new takes on malls. In/around NYC we have a few that I actually use: - Hudson Yards - a pretty good destination with a small kid on a rainy day and easy to get to via the subway. Big and open, has

If I had to guess, this probably drew a lot of attention to the moving symbol projected on the road and away from the actual cyclist. ...now if they could equip the bikes with cameras to issue tickets to all the people who park in our bike

Segment was a wildly successful one (with a big exit). They started out as an education tool startup. Also Slack was a MMORPG for something like 3-4 years before they gave up on it and pivoted to being a chat app.

Depends pretty wildly on your specific needs, but Best Buy has had consistently low prices on SSDs for a few years now. You can pick up a 2TB PNY NVMe SSD for $129 right now: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-xlr8-cs3030

The nice thing about Sub Zero is that the whole thing can be disassembled so when something does go wrong it can be repaired. I inherited a 12+ year old one one with my apartment and have been able to strip it down to its circuit boards to

I sure hope so. MSRP on the battery is over $10k right now from Volvo[1] although poking around some dealers have them as low as $8k. Maybe there will be aftermarket options in the future? Sort of silly to hope for but if I'm lucky t

Unrelated to price it's great to see PHEVs getting better and better on larger cars and drawing demand. I've got a first-gen Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV which only gets like 17miles (ok more like 14 if the heat or A/C is on which is b

Very clever! As a 10fastfingers fan it's interesting how this forces you to slowly dole out your thoughts instead of just dumping them at maximum speed.

Wow this is fantastic! Landed on some HAM radio operator's personal text-only site and then a site about birds in some far off place in Nova Scotia: http://www.capebretonbirds.ca/ .

This is true of crypto wallets and NFTs as well. More than one project has attempted to send NFTs or assets to high profile wallets (ex: trillions of dog-coins sent to Vitalik's wallet that he ultimately donated to get rid of but not b

Nuts it looks like the camera parts list doesn't include the external lens glass or bezels. I recently cracked mine and had to resort to ifixit... was hoping Apple would provide an official solution.

We have a shop near us with a "no laptops" policy, and another with laptop hours. This works pretty well from what I've seen.

I think it's more a Baltimore / DC area issue than a Maryland one. Baltimore consistently ranks dead last in best driver reports with DC right behind: https://www.allstate.com/americas-best-drivers/index.htm
