The wave of MTB that we're currently in is loosely based on lots of things, but two major shifts have happened in the last 10-ish years. * the geometries of bikes have changed dramatically. Bikes are longer, with slacker headtubes, lon

> Democratize access to police. Pay to play policing seems... the opposite of what you're asking for? Can you elaborate on this?

It's a race to the bottom. Always has been, probably always will be.

I've always wondered about this. These are people who we elect to do a job - one that we expect and need them to do well. I wonder what would happen if their base salary was something higher than current - perhaps $300k. They receive t

I used to love slot car racing when I was a kid. Just reading this article brought back that smell - if you ever played with slot cars, you know the one I'm talking about.

I can totally respect the desire to step back and do your own thing at your own speed. Rock on, Annie - do what fills your bucket.

>Here you have people putting in a lot of work for free… I'd wager it's either a perceived, or in some instances, actual, power that motivates a few few of these folks. I don't doubt there are do-gooders out there who want

Because it's still magic to retail investors, and as long as they don't see behind the curtain, they'll keep coming along in droves and inadvertently propping it up + pushing it higher.

Wyze cameras have open source firmware that can be loaded (DaFang Hacks) that works pretty well. I've never used (or trusted) the Wyze firmware anywhere on my network, but I use a couple of Wyze cameras pointed outwards from my house c

After the pandemic is more or less over, consumers will return to restaurants for the experience. These ghost kitchens will continue to shovel mediocre garbage at scale for those Friday nights when you just don't feel like cooking, but

Ditto. My "home" venue is Red Rocks. I got invited but I didn't feel like it and didn't want to spend the $50. Oof.

Is there a better option? Is Case or whatever else (sorry, not up on farm implements) a better option?

Work "fun" events that happen outside of work hours are totally bogus.

I think of HN as the real life manifestation of the kind of discussion that would come up at a dinner party with a really, really, diverse group of people who all happen to spend most of their time in some tech-related career.

I'm finding that this isn't as much an eyebrow raiser as it would have been 2 or 3 years ago. Source: haven't been "on" Facebook in probably 5+ years at this point. I have a dummy account with bunk info for Marketpl

I'll echo this sentiment - the age old 'get a new car, join a new forum' has been short circuited by FB. That part, I'll concede, is actually not that awful. Having all my old forums email me on my birthday reminds me wh

As a true lover of the physical keyboard, I tried to love the KeyOne. It was okay; the way the OS handled the screen ratio was a bit wonky, and the camera was pretty lackluster. The device itself was a midranger - it chugged from time to ti

They definitely have solid wood furniture - I have some of it. But the solid wood furniture pieces I've seen are all pine. Pine is not a hardwood. Edit: ah, they've got some acacia pieces (dining room pieces, mostly).

For many people, price is the only factor; it's a luxury to be able to consider other aspects.

Not op - but please provide an explanation that counters the argument, then. Seriously, I would really like to understand how to come to terms with two world views that appear to be diametrically opposed within the same movement.

I know a lot of conservatives in real life. At best, there has been some hand wringing and sheepish questioning of their stance. At worst, a fair few of them have dug in. My own mother is well on the path to becoming, for lack of a better t

What's your plan, then? It is clear that some people are so far gone that logic and reason are no longer effective methods of reaching them. There is now a claim that under sworn affidavit an Italian national has admitted to changing v

I am OLD - I had FB when it was a private, university-only, and people were giving out their dorm buildings and rooms. My FB was becoming a ghost town 5 years ago, so I stopped using it, then deleted my "real" profile. I maintain

Yup - the numbers Google Voice has are tagged as 'VoIP numbers' in some dataset somewhere and are blacklisted by a fair number of services and blocked from 2FA or Sign-up. This has also happened to me when using MVNO carriers (Cri

And, to boot, as frustratingly low as their free usage tier limits are, the fact that they openly publish them and that they are quite low tells me that they're at least being realistic about what they can offer without monetizing the

Nothing like a reminder of how dependent you've become on Slack for communication (and archival of conversations) like an outage on the Monday after the holidays when you're not on your A-Game yourself. "Let's see, I&#x2

Searching out the manufacturer (assuming there is a brand behind the product and not just an Amazon shop) has made my recent efforts, too. A surprising number of times, the item is cheaper from the manufacturer, and they offer free shippin
