So can anyone explain why this will possibly take 20 years to prove/disprove? We don't have the current level of accuracy necessary to test it, but might if we work through issues over the next 20 years or so?

Bogus usually implies something meant as a fake or counterfeit, I think a better way to describe it would be "incorrect", I don't think these scientists are trying to fake anything.

paywall? all you have to do is sign up for the freemium version of spotify?

It's simple, different people have different opinions in life and his show is still the most popular podcast on spotify. was it worth $200 million, I have my doubts on that one.

I could say similar for my mustang gt, it keeps ticking after 12 years and 250k miles, with nothing but maintenance. I do still enjoy driving it though. I am not a harsh driver though, tend to be a "speed-limit, stop for yellow" d

that would be a plus for me. I find the huge center consoles annoying. Give me knobs and buttons any day for that tactile feedback.

Meh, I've worked on several embedded systems, majority of developers did not use globals and bad coding practices. They weren't massive class hierarchies like I'm sure a lot of HN people would desire. Mostly (if c++) single

I mean I would figure it would be extremely different, much more so than say visiting the USA or Europe since our heritage all comes from the same parts of the world (minus indigenous which USA and Brazil also share to an extent)

Use less soap. I use about half as much and the dishes come out fine. I've had better luck with liquid based soaps too as they mix immediately with the water.

I'm looking to sell and move permanently overseas if Trump wins next fall, I'm planning on setting up a contract position in Europe well before that and watch and vote from abroad.

we are not going to sustain 5% growth. 2-3% is about as much as we'll get over the long haul

99% of it is people not adjusting the pitch of their headlights or turning on their brights and leaving them on. I had a truck and it was fine, because I cared enough to watch a 5 minute video on how to adjust the angle after a new install

I would pay for some moon glasses just for this, don't need to be as dark as sun glasses but something you can grab in an emergency with the super brights where the owner didn't know (or didn't care) to adjust the angle of th

Show me a general solar or wind solution that works just about anywhere that is guaranteed to have at least 1 week of back up power when the power takes a nose dive during extreme weather or even just when the wind/solar dips, even 1 d

do you know if the solar ratio includes falling off roofs?

yeah we do, but no one wants to build breeder reactors so it's a no go.

It's absurd to think that a country as adversarial to the USA as China would not take advantage of such a vast chance to poison the mind of America's youth. It's as obvious as night vs day. In this case that is Occam's r

Obviously they want social chaos in the USA, pitting right against left is one way of doing that, so maybe just have a self adjusting algo that detects which way they lean and then slowly increase the ratio of right to neutral/left ide

People can be addicted to games as well, and spend thousands of [insert monetary units], tons of such cases on Eve and simple mobile "pay-to-play" freemium games. Probably not on the scale of addictive gambling it's definitel

I never understood the "gotta clean cache every time" with CI/CD. I'm sure it makes sense sometimes but you can make a compromise. I worked at two places where I only clean up our c++ caches on the build systems on the w

I think I'd have to see a survey of health professionals (including mental health) in the context of selecting a permanent DST or ST before I'd say "the scientific position is..."

by stjohnswarts 3y ago
at this point I don't care which one they pick (fingers crossed for DST) but for the love of Dog pick one and stick to it.

buy some dark out curtains, they work great and are relatively cheap. My bedroom can be dark as night in the middle of a sunny Texas day.

I just don't believe this, I've been dealing with it for 42 years now and other than being a little sleepy the first couple of days, never had an issue. That said it's illogical and should be done away with, I would prefer pe
