Someday, I predict humans will be able to undergo a similar process. Our main obstacle is building a suitable cocoon structure that could hold a human for the duration of the metamorphosis. Essentially what we do is trigger a process that c

Yes, it’s laughable to think they will use the same compromised channels as the masses. These are serious businesses. Some cyber crime operations have something similar to AWS. I’ve seen it.

This only works if you really commit to remaining disagreeable and never reveal that it was all a ruse.

I have access to several TVs from the 90s in near perfect condition and some still new in the box. Whats the best way to get this content onto a real TV?

Funny thing is, this doesn’t hurt criminals at all. If you’re doing serious crime, you bring your own encryption. There are cartels that spend a lot of money rolling their own crypto.

A pop in? Where a friend just shows up unannounced with a knock at your door and a tip of the hat and says they were just in the neighborhood and felt like they should drop and has a seat on your couch?

It’s such perfect condition I have to wonder if they bought a cabinet then made up a faked story about finding it out on the curb outside as trash for clicks.

Whether we like it or not, tourist attractions do not scale. Everyone isn’t going to get their 15 minutes with the Sistine chapel. Some won’t even get more than a few minutes if at all.

Because the world doesn’t revolve around them. Just because you will never get to see the Sistine Chapel doesn’t mean you should be fine with it being burnt down.

People aren’t entitled to experiences. Back in the day, most people barely left their own towns. You might be lucky if you saw one great work of art in your lifetime. That’s what we must return to in order to keep places from getting over s

I would only expect these kinds of posts from a throwaway account created very recently with a single post. Anyone with a long HN history is more likely trying to karma farm and chase clout by spinning up some bullshit. Trying to establis

Heh, deep company backlogs are a great place to mine for startup ideas.

I don’t get this line of thought. These employees were well paid, and earned good money for many years. They’ve had their fill, it’s time to move on to some new job. A company should be praised for trimming the fat and reducing headcount: M

Hurricanes don’t matter. Houses built in hurricane zones these days are built to strict code, every new construction is concrete blocks and impact windows, hurricane resistant roofs and doors. Some flooding occurs, but water dries up eventu

If left unchecked these behaviors go beyond playtime and into careers. Kids without harmful social media influence will often go into careers where they do useful things. Kids who watch rich influencers all day think about how they can make

Are you serious… as a kid pulling out a Gameboy in the middle of class and just sitting there playing a game would feel like a death sentence. The equivalent of walking into a bank with an assault rifle firing wildly in the air.

Stop making teachers jobs harder. They are overworked and underpaid as is, and now asking them to fight for attention with a kids smartphone in class just creates a hostile adversarial relationship with their students, that harms the learni

Aye, I even remember that sometimes my solution to boredom was to skip ahead to some farther chapters and look for new content to learn. Kids these days suck.

It’s time to have a higher standard of “technology”. Phones aren’t some magical solution to better education. They are just a source of digital candy, digital crack , that pollutes minds with harmful or vapid ideas. If you want an advanced

If there was a better place for discussing computer related stuff, I’d be there instead of on hackernews. That said, we can’t really talk about computers all the time. There’s only so much one can say about computers, therefore it becomes i

Sorry, but I don’t see where it says he has to respond to a woman’s nonsense flirtatious mysticism by lowering his own standard for discourse down to her level. He does not have to tolerate her magical thinking. I think he drew an interesti
