Ah I see, I thought you meant you blocked the poster which would be a very odd thing to see on HN! Apologies. Where are you that NPR is blocked? I'm in the UK, and even if I decline their data protection stuff they take me to a plainte

Although you have completely misinterpreted the situation the article does touch on the issues you have raised. Perhaps if you adopted an attitude of engagement rather than reflexively blocking and avoiding things which you feel go against

I guess it isn't open source ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Strange how GitHub has apparently become the default distribution platform

That pisses me off so much. To top it off I have bad signal in my flat, and they refuse to contact me any other way or even leave voicemails.

Even all these years later, he doesn't even consider the possibility that he was manipulated. He betrayed all of his users at the drop of a hat, and all it cost the NSA was a single phone call. Crazy stuff.

Interestingly that list contained Greenland until very recently. EU countries are also not included in the list, so no Luxembourg etc

The electron hate really is getting old. vscode and some other electron apps run far faster than many comparable programs with a more traditional architecture. Yes electron could be considered inelegant, but so can a great many things in co

Looks like a really great resource. How snappy is the build process? I like markdown because it's lightweight (of course this isn't always possible for professional typesetting)

Yeah I figured that was the case for arabic but in hebrew the most significant digit seems to be said first

Fascinating, thank you. It's interesting how the Arabic numerals in the dates are flipped 90°, as opposed to in some right to left scripts where they are just reproduced as is. I've always thought this would hinder the flow of the

This extension offers a subset of the functionality of open source extensions like stylus and ublock, and the store page is terrible. How exactly did this get on the front page of HN?

Considering Theranos operated for over 10 years and most of their employees were white men of a certain age, it seems entirely possible to me.

Has anyone ever used this sort of keyboard? I had a concept in mind for a glove based input system that would use chorded gestures like this and I was wondering how intuitive it would be.

Well, have you noticed it uses 'cool' futuristic lettering instead of Facebook's actual logo? They know how uncool they are, they know the Facebook brand doesn't work with WhatsApp.

I get the impression that she lives the way she does because it makes her happy, not because of religion or ideology, like the Amish. She has no problem sending out emails to get in touch with people, and she has her solar panels and phone.

Not hard to do it for any language. And they're cheap to make. Your memorable phrase is 'correct horse battery staple'. <copy> <generate new phrase in $LANG> Its not often that people without

Its worth noting that real world drivers do put incredible amounts of hours into these consumer simulators. It's not like they're winning on their real-world experience alone.

Me too. It reminds me of the small ARG MGMT did around their song 'Little Dark Age', where they made various retro renditions and allowed them to surface on the internet, implying theirs was a cover of an older, forgotten song.
