I'd like to point out that the airport failed to complete the required FOD check of the runway before takeoff (required only because of the Concorde's failure mode when having a flat tyre).

How are ad networks not in violation of the CFAA (computer fraud and abuse act) by not honoring DNT? Surely if I can get in trouble for abusing what a server allows but does not intend then the same should hold true for interactions with a

The Vive gives a rough tronlike outline (or even a transparent camera overlay) that solves this for me (a backlit keyboard helps, too, so I can turn it mostly transparent and it still stands out). The outlines appear when you go outside th

We see the same situation publicly play out in business whenever a large or powerful newcomer moves into an already entrenched industry--like Sony did with Hollywood, Netflix did with TV production, Amazon and Apple did with music and book

Just like moving next to an airport and then complaining about the noise. Those same victims likely received a discount on property price as compensation.

"Weirdly, no one ever donates to 'coordination of cancer fund collection.'" What do you think the American Cancer Society does?

It may also be an attempt to hide a failure they made that would likely be held against them if found out (e.g. if they forgot to load a pallet on to the truck).

Would it be fair to remove someone's freedom of speech simply because you do not believe them and it is almost always impossible to prove such intent? Show your gaslighting damages to a court (i.e. fraud) and keep your easily abused, a

The thought was to do it prior to seasoning to provide better coverage (after drying). Recipes switched to having you just pat the meat dry with paper towels to avoid the cross contamination vector.

I feel that they also do this to satisfy their "no repeated menu items in one year" obligation, while still recognizing the fact that their customers like simple traditional foods like burgers.

They are self funded except that every year they have another multi-billion dollar loss.

Faster shipping, added support, ease of returns. I am sure there are many other ways those "useless middlemen" could also add value.

They have a monopoly on phones with non-licensable operating systems preinstalled. You can thank the EU for that definition.

I believe the thought was that if they were so prestigious they would not need to advertise at all. I have never felt this way about Universities, but I certainly have for defense attorneys.

Top comedians seem to disagree with your absolute assertion. https://www.cnn.com/2015/06/10/living/seinfeld-comedy-colleg... Also, I seemed to have missed that vote that granted you the role of humor pol

Maybe sentencing differences are causing the selection bias. Remorseful rapists may be trying to avoid publicizing their convictions (with their plan being to reintegrate with society at a later time). The remorseful murderers may have all

Just to add a little perspective, American Airlines used to fly with a grand piano in their airplanes (in the 747 upper deck lounge). There is absolutely no way that would ever make financial sense without the heavy cost of regulatory captu

Just like the FTC, I do not care about the existence of the affiliate link being on HN, but only the disclosure. It makes for a fair(er) market.

Sometimes it would need to be raised and sometimes it would need to be lowered. It will, however, always be a politically unpopular position to lower it, even if it needs being done.

Billionaires can afford estate planners and trust lawyers, so wouldn't this disproportionately affect the poor?

From the number of YouTube channels that promote them, I expect they must have a strong affiliate program. Just a possible bias to keep in mind...

There is not a glass back on their newest, XZ Premium. Still no removable battery, though, it does still have a microSD slot.

Sounds like you have a local water supply problem if they serve you recycled sewage (or a regretful plumbing problem).

We tried that with 50 independent self-managed communes, but the central commune still usurped or were gifted most of their powers and responsibilities. What would be different this time around?
