I don't know about "respectful" for both parties. Bottle collectors trying to take/steal not yet empty bottles and cans has become more of a rule than an exception in parks in central Stockholm. I'm still very much

Two of those are just indicators of what playlist and song is playing, sort of like pwd, sure you can press them to pause but that's hidden functionality. The top and bottom pause buttons are for people who don't know about keyboa

I know you really don't mean it but... Criminal? As lover of flying I might have my feathers ruffled but there's certainly other pros to flying (the view, the feeling of takeoff). Maybe I'm just trying to justify my love of f

It can just go through a manual review and delete the parts that they're are legally required to delete. While I don't agree with a lot of the money laundering/terror financing laws banks shouldn't have to delete your da

I _know_ that all actors on all shows share some kind of relationship. Adam was one of the first I saw to show his off screen life (probably in some kind of persona). It's both interesting and sad seeing Adam relating to a former frien

It's the interpretations that will be difficult to replicate elsewhere, I used it a lot studying literature. It's difficult to extract money and gather a large audience/contributors from something like that.

I'm also a dingus and I am sometimes forced to clone private repos to new machines which doesn't have my keys. I know that ssh-agent is a thing which is sometimes set up but I still don't really know how it works, and sometim

Last time this was discussed on HN someone brought up that there's a perfume that tries to replicate the smell of silphium: https://www.storaskuggan.com/products/silphium It smells great!

What parent commenter is talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93crime_hypothesis It is very much a hypothesis, but it certainly could be true.

I fall for badges and XP, I know it's not real but it triggers something in me. Duolingo have an anniversary "event" in June and I practiced more than ever to get a silly badge, same things with the streaks, I have no real re

I somewhat agree with you but I really do like some kind of curation, even if that curation is done by the market. There's nothing inherently good with a surplus of bad goods. I'd prefer a copy of "The Library of Babel"

My TOTO Washlet is such a joy, the automatic lid and the heated seat. I smile at the nightlight.

Sorry about replying to a week old post but your link and post really made me think: I think the initial HN comment was justified albeit a bit nerdy, the marketing was just poor at the time. Not being able to delete a post is sort of a prob

The person who added the data set is the same person that owns the business, so this seems pretty likely.

Wouldn't traditional "offline" advertising be even worse? "We suspect X million people watch this TV show (based on highly inaccurate Nielsen ratings) and then stayed around for the ad break, pay XX dollars." "

It's amazing to see the amount of people in this post that don't click ads. I really try to avoid to click them, I quite often open an incognito window to search for product I've just seen in an ad (I'm sure Google will

Hasn't this always been the case? 1000 copies sold is seen as pretty ok for a first time author. It's kind of the same as with musical artists.

I cried a little at the the shot of the lander and earth from the command module, the thought of every single other human in the same frame is just too much.

They tricked a bunch of users over to their (awful) podcast playing experience, playing (free) podcasts is cheaper than paying for music for your subscribers. I don't think they've made their money back on it yet but any user that

I had great fun reading about the number of helicopters and starships needed to lift the ship and probably took something away from it for future endeavours. Really great for thinking about scale.

The US govt isn't the only customer though, if I'm not mistaken they're paying the market price just as everyone else? Sure they subsidise launch prices by creating a market, but they do that for all companies, right? SpaceX

I never got a chemistry set primarily because my parents thought of them as a bit dangerous. I would have loved a set that was "guaranteed" safe just to get anything at all. I probably wouldn't have become a Nobel prize winni

I've worked professionally with a person who found their love for programming by modifying Minecraft mods. I'd say he was far better than the vast majority of bootcamp devs, even without much real work experience. Finding out what
