You can just ask for yourself, this is HN not Reddit. You get used to the cold after a few uses, but there are luxury models that allow temperature control.

A strange thought just occurred to me... they said that it was fertile with olives until it was destroyed by the fire. Plants grow and create fruit through cellular division, right? How is it possible for a plant to live for 2500 years with

This is a great question! This was something I was stuck on for a long time. I used to think this would be an extremely time-consuming thing that would be very annoying to learn. What really struck me is how easy this actually turned out

I've had the Tushy bidet for a couple years now and it's great! Overall it has made me feel a lot more hygienic and I only use a small amount of TP to dry off now.

Food scale I got at Target for like $20. Over quarantine, I started getting fluffier than I'm comfortable with and reached my highest weight ever. I eat healthy, so my only guess was that I was eating too much. Simply adding a food sca

Why? That's a federal offense in the USA at least. If you're afraid of that, you may as well fear any mail delivery person.

I've never heard of this kind of service. It sounds like something I want ASAP. Any downsides?

exactly. For people in HN who probably make at least 6 figures on average, it's easy to forget that for many people, an extra $1.5k a year reflects a significant pay percent increase, like 5% raise.

The problem is that white Americans don't have the same American experience as black Americans, which is where the divide comes from and it creates another culture. It's been getting a lot better, but there are still two legal sys

I use ProtonMail so that Google or other marketers can't scan my emails. If you think any of your correspondence on the clear web is protected from US authorities you've been sleeping under a rock the past decade or so

These days I just immediately turn those down without a second thought. It's a joke of an interviewing system and your time is way too valuable for that. Happy to do coding questions, but not 8 hour long take-home projects. Those have

I've been on HN for a few years and have no idea what you're referring to, unless you are talking about things marked as [flagged], [dead], or downvoted to oblivion. Those I just ignore. Are there any specific examples?

This may sound weird but it's easier to do this when you don't need it. When we're negotiating, people can smell desperation. If you can easily walk away from a negotiation/offer, you're suddenly in a much more po

Usually people's writing style on these topics come across as extremely pretentious, hollow broetry. I appreciate that yours seems really authentic. Ordered a paperback copy!

William Blake is my favorite poet. Highly recommend reading Songs of Innocence and Experience, in large print book if you can find it. His paintings are captivatingly emotional and powerful

What? People are all the same species: Homo Sapiens. There's nothing political or controversial about that. Unless you've met living Neanderthals? Sure, it can be said that different "races" among humans make up a var

I had this a few times when I was really young, probably around 7 yrs old or so. Super bizarre perception distortions, it was really scary. The bed and my legs would stretch out really far, my fingers would become cartoonishly huge and swol

Isn't that the default stance in philosophy? Assume something is false until evidence proven true. You cannot begin with the assumption that something is true, otherwise we're back to the mystical dark ages of magic monsters and a

Agreed. From my perspective, the Japanese are so hostile to foreigners/immigrants that it's borderline xenophobia. I'm not seeing a way forward for them as a technological power again until they first address some of their so

Yes... in the same way that you can set up a street food cart in the middle of nowhere without needing special permits. But good luck making any kind of meaningful change in your life with that unless your food cart happens to sell meth

Wow! I never heard about this. It happened only a few years after I was born. Back in '97, probably only the nerdiest of nerds would have cared about it, so I'm surprised that the judge(s) over this case ruled correctly given how

In developing countries at least it seems like it could be a really big deal. When a daily wage is $5 USD, making a domain $0.99 is much more friendly and encouraging, the difference of two days wages vs. a fifth of a day
