Oh, and technically Denmark also has a land border with Canada (if you’re not excluding Greenland): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island

Might want to make it extra clear that you’re looking strictly for land borders? Today’s country, Denmark, has a bridge that connects it to its neighbor, Sweden. But Sweden was not what Neighborle was looking for as a valid answer.

This being Hacker News and all I have to wonder - was this remote control system installed in a hurry, and is it thus potentially more vulnerable to remote attack than it might otherwise be? Hope not.

It’s possible for there to be a distinction between state-owned and state-run (see the BBC). Perhaps you could discuss why you think it is state-run rather than just state-owned instead of resorting to insults.

A cynic would suggest that manufacturers have made the rest of the vehicle much more complex so they can make money recalibrating sensors after windshield replacements, replacing ventilated seat fans, fixing complex pop-out door handles, et

Yikes, I’d definitely bring a CO2 monitor with an alarm if I found myself sleeping in such a pod. I’m sure the ventilation can be handled correctly but I wouldn’t be blindly confident that the landlord was on top of it.

Now that you mention it I’m surprised the actors and/or writers haven’t suggested folks cancel their streaming services temporarily to show support for the “little guys” against the studios. Maybe they’re afraid of the long-term effect

Honestly the first 3 points you could just replace “Temu” with “Amazon” or “Walmart.com”.

That hit close to home because my father’s bank account was indeed drained after clicking the wrong ad on an iPad. But it did require the intermediate step of my father having to call the number in the ad to talk to “bank security”. Having

Because it’s normalized dark window tint all around over the past few decades. We used to think family cars looked like this rather than the heavily tinted vehicles of today: https://i.insider.com/5e875eba8427e939fb61ffb4?w

Tinted windows are such a pet peeve of mine. I get it in the tropics but in most of America the individual benefits of dark tint seem like they’d be outweighed by the collective good of better visibility through cars, enabling eye contact w

Agreed about community college. It’s unfortunate though that, like so many things, it’s essentially a lottery on where you’re born. Some community colleges are wonderful, others not. I’ve heard of other FAFSA games as well - last I heard th

The skeptic in me wonders how many of those low-income buyers used this to just make a quick buck by reselling the bike. Potentially to someone outside of Denver, which might mean the taxpayers of Denver got 0 benefit for their $1200. That

Do you close the door in public restrooms? I mean, we’re all human, we know what you’re doing in there, but you might just prefer to have some privacy anyhow. Some of us feel the same way about our digital interactions.

I think it’d be a neat value-add if there were some (optional) postcard templates. Stuff like “Greetings from scenic <location_name>” that could either be used seriously or ironically. Obviously one could edit the JPG themselves to in

That was true a few decades ago. Demand for tourism jobs has outstripped supply (especially in summer months) so a good number of people have come to Iceland (some temporarily, some permanently) to work. Poles are the largest group, making
