I do the same. Plastic bags are quite convenient, are often easier to clean than fancy reusable bags, can be given away without a second thought, and fit nicely in a backpack when folded. Whenever I get a new one, I fold it up and put it in

Wasn’t this debunked? As I recall, after some digging, it came to light that the amount of power offered by a typical-sized battery from this company even at 100% efficiency would be on the order microwatts. There was even an article paid f

There is. They’ve started crawling much more aggressively, similar to how Googlebot and Bingbot crawl. Coincidentally, I mentioned to a friend that I thought Apple was preparing to launch a search engine just yesterday.

Their audience. If journalists are forcefully accompanied by government officials, their journalism can be influenced. This irreparably taints the integrity of their work in a way that is often unacceptable to their audience.

My PCP tests my Vitamin D levels annually, and it doesn’t cost me anything; it’s just part of the standard bloodwork. It’s always been fine in the past, but the most recent time I was told it was low and was prescribed Vitamin D. I’m not a

I regularly switch between devices, platforms, and monitors. On all platforms, it really depends on the font, the application, and the hardware. For example, Windows has a really hard time if you have multiple monitors with different DPIs

It’s still serious. For example, consider the potential for industrial espionage. Want to steal some trade secrets? Grab a cantenna and set up shop next door.

It’s mentioned in the Twitter thread that at least some of the files have a password of “I accept” instead. That leads me to believe that the primary purpose might just be to indicate agreement to an NDA.

Good LED headlights aren’t blinding. It’s often aftermarket nonsense that causes problems. As someone else mentioned, the culprits aren’t often LEDs; there are some crazy bulbs out there, and the people using them just don’t care if they’re

How are you going to identify them? When they cash out, all their Bitcoin has already been laundered. Granted, this is all theoretical. In practice, it’s not unusual for such people to make mistakes that reveal their identity; however, ther

Although I refuted some of your arguments above ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24033759 ), I agree that cryptocurrency has fairly limited utility, especially given the costs. The biggest issue I have with cryptocurren

This isn’t a defense of Bitcoin. I’m often quite critical of cryptocurrency and believe the world would be better off without it. However, “banning” it won’t have the effects you’ve described, and you seem have some misunderstandings about

500 unrelated accounts all deposit money into a single shared account. From that shared account, payments are made to 1,000 other accounts. None of the amounts match the original deposits, even when summed. Whose money is whose? This is a

I disagree with you, though you have my upvote for articulating that argument well. I don’t want Apple to act like a government. I want the government to act like a government. Why isn’t the government doing more to stop companies from em

You’re skirting around the argument. The parent’s argument is that no single politician should have this power. It isn’t an argument for or against the government stepping in here—it’s an argument against who’s doing it.

There are still a concerning number of much more serious chronic complications reported by low-risk young adults. Many report that the symptoms continue months after recovering from COVID-19, with no end in sight. Even though there isn’t m

I’m not really sure what you’re asking. By definition, FHE cannot be Turing complete. A Turing machine must be capable of performing operations that cannot be handled in constant time, and for which the timing reveals information about the

Your computer has circuitry that is capable of being reused. It isn’t a simulator; it could, in theory, run that loop ad infinitum. FHE can’t reuse circuitry. There’s no concept of, “based on the output, we now need to plug it back in and r

You’re focusing exclusively on deaths, which is only proving the parent’s point. What about all the people who don’t die, but sustain chronic, potentially permanent damage as a result? Economies recover, but it’s less clear whether organs a

I wouldn’t say it’s completely natural, but it’s still pretty nice, all things considered. Some apps still make it awkward, especially games. I saw someone attempt to play Slither while testing an iPad Pro with a mouse recently. It looked f

Regardless, this is Hacker News; I’d like to think that, as a community, we tend to appreciate having a more neutral source for news such as this. I’m always going to be skeptical of such an announcement from a company that has so much to g

It was immediately clear that it was sequential. Given that the name of the function is “getPeople,” I figured that was probably the mistake the author was pointing out, but it was quite obvious. And I’m not really a JavaScript developer. T

Can we get a neutral source on this? Nextcloud undoubtedly stands to benefit a great deal from the claims being made here, since Nextcloud is self-hosted. There’s inevitably a strong PR bias here.

It is! Nevertheless, I was confused at first. I’m sure I would’ve figured it out eventually, given the context.
