I considered this first. But I imagine the camber change would ruin the insides of the tires so fast that it wouldn't be worth the wall rolling benefits... Perhaps a better idea would be some kind of aerodynamic change which would res

I'm sorry, I really did try to read your link. But I laughed too much at this: "came with the work of Dick Held (brother of the world recordman Bud Held) who introduced first the hollow-wood javelins" Really, it doesn't

That's cute, but I suspect that kind of boldly foolish move would not be the kind of thing a team would appreciate, since it implies they can never count on what their driver will do. It was basically a Happy Gilmore hockey golf swing

There were some stubborn bad decisions that Steve Jobs stuck to (1 button mouse, windows that don't appear when you cmd-tab to them), but his Apple seemed to have better software. Since him, it really seems to have gone downhill in te

Ironically, she will complain if you cuss at her and call her names, but she won't turn herself off. And when she pops up without my request, and I want her to go off, it seems there's no verbal way to make her go away... even ve

My colleagues and I had a moment of fun somewhere in remote Iceland, offroading on the way to a glacier. On an iPhone 3G, we were able to ask trivia questions and get pretty useful responses. Aside from setting a timer, I've not seen

No kidding! She obviously knew what was wanted, but instead of doing her fing job, she tells you how to do it yourself. She doesn't like when I tell her to F herself. I hope some of those recordings end up with Apple training.

I use Siri to set a timer. That's it. And I do it by holding my power button to activate her. My only other use of Siri usually involved phrases like "stop", "go away", "close", "fucking close!&quot

It looks great! Do you think the web-based IDE is enough to be productive? For example, could this work on a Chromebook (in browser) or an iPad Pro (browser only)?

I hope you're wrong. And if you're right, I hope this is all a simulation.

I don't believe that humanity has suffered for millions of years. From what I've read, life before agriculture was decent. The trouble really seemed to begin with agriculture, land, and people ownership. Population explosion als

Related: finding air quality measurement devices seems very difficult. It would be nice to know all the things in the air which we are concerned about - CO, CO2, Radon, PPM-stuff, etc. It seems few devices do it all, and some of them actu

Don't give anyone you care about (who is not a techie) a Windows machine. Especially if you'll have to support it. At this point, the best thing for a "typical" user is a Chromebook, or better yet one of the few Chrome

No, I got the point. But I also thought that it was fun (in the usual HN way) to point out a factually incorrect absolute statement.

Am I reading you right? You are saying that the vast majority of people in your social circle have been in the same job for 15+ years, and yet they are under age 50? That would be astonishing, unless you are in some really unique industry.

What the numbers were 50 years ago is of little practical meaning in this context. The recent trend is exactly what we're talking about. Not only does the recent trend show tenures declining, but it also shows home ownership declining

It feels like too much of this is blaming developers. Most places I've been, you have to fight for the privilege to do things right. There's always some non-technical-manager-imposed deadline, formulated from wishes, which is a
