I wonder what this means regarding the transparency of transactions and the anonymity of user ids. Is anyone aware of the new law's implications?

Although I find the page funny, I find the HN title rather clickbaity. The HN rules explicitly discourage editorializing this way. Isn’t there a better title?

the authors of the paper were actually aware of the deep image prior and even compare to it. The SinGAN is apparently clearly superior to the deep image prior (DIP).

And even if I ask a doctor to remove a tick he discourages a test of the dead tick, because „nothing would turn up anyways“. This supports a high rate of unnoticed cases.

Indeed the main problem, counter to queuing theory, is that the individuals are not pushed anymore from behind, hence they take their time, slowly without feeling any pressure.

This leaves room for a trackball that requires the pointer finger to move the pointer. This way of pointing feels much more precise, and leaves the strong thumb to thumb the main button. And for the question on scrolling: let me press an ad

Actually, I am a huge fan of Logitech's TrackMan Marble Mouse and can recommend it wholeheartedly. I use it since about 20 years, renewing it every couple of years. I am sorry for your thumb, I luckily haven't had problems yet. Be

What if you go on a date with someone who turns out to have the same biological father?

Maybe he already spent $5m on wedding preparations for his offspring while it turns out that the spouse has the same biological father.

Well the private insurance is indeed a problem if the insured cohort gets old, i.e., all the clients that signed up for a certain insurance product in around the same time frame, and when it is cheapest: mostly at age 25-40. After a while,

I don’t know about the German insurance, but for example the Swiss insurance makes a specific exception: in case there is no adequate treatment or expertise available within Swiss borders, the insurance must cover a foreign treatment.

I certainly agree that there has been a lot of progress over the last 50 years. However I would still like to know which recently devised (or at least improved) instrument lead NASA to open the seals just now. Or isn’t there any?

Well the text I posted was from the journalistic article. The scientific paper indeed says they let the animal recover from the amputated leg. However, as you say, I now agree that it is not clear what they mean with “recovery”. > We amp

TLDR: They damaged a nerve in one leg of the drosophila fly. The injury was then allowed to fully heal. After the injury healed, they found the fly’s other legs had become hypersensitive through loss of the pain inhibitors (GABA).

Has someone an idea how the 7 day full refund policy will work out? Something like “only if all seat plastic covers were kept on”, or is there gonnna be a refurbished market? However there is usually a high decrease in value on “unsealing”

According to the paper, "the mean slowdown of WebAssembly vs. native across SPEC benchmarks is 1.43× for Firefox". Calculating 1/1.43 = 70%, which is close to 80% already today.

Well, shutting down the heavy industry certainly is a way to reduce energy consumption. And I guess this is even a preferred way for local politicians, even though this industry is surely running elsewhere afterwards...

This sounds really good. If one rather likes to stick with Apple's ecosystem, an exchangable or external battery could help much, too.

Well in my experience, charging the Apple Watch takes about half an hour, about the time it takes to prepare in the morning. If you rather require 100% coverage, how about buying two watches? I think that redundancy might be your answer. Th
