I signed up years ago, and never have to login really, and have never see a captcha on HN. Not saying it doesn't exist, but I've had myriad captcha issues on other sites, but never once here.

Wow I missed that it requires you to sign in. I retract my statement that it has gotten better. Google can go to hell with requiring a sign in for everything.

I mean it's great to have a backup map if you go outside of cellular coverage. It works well overseas too, so you can save data and preload the map, or just use it offline entirely while you're travelling.

Not true, Google Maps has added offline storage over the years that is quite helpful, and the feature has gotten better. Google Docs for Chrome can be used offline as well.

Meanwhile Boeing's mechanical rudder actuator in the 737 caused two verified and possibly many more crashes during passenger-carrying flights.

Sure, but those are not features you want in a cargo or passenger aircraft. The Global Hawk has a wingspan over 50% as long as an A350, yet it weighs 1/10th as much. There is no comparison.

Agreed, even if you could reduce fuel consumption by that much, the result should be lower fares, inducing more people to travel by air.

At the end of their takedown of the claims, they point out that "MAA" sells BS supplements and "health products" that likely do nothing at all. Essentially they want you to buy in to the idea that no one else can be trus

It is entirely different. The residual amount on your food is orders of magnitude smaller than what you'd encounter working with a concentrated solution containing glyphosate.

Because you don't actually need to prove causation to win a civil court case. Causation vs correlation is key in science, but is not the standard used in judging civil litigation.

I think that idea is based on how Reddit stores (or stored) comment edits, and how they would overwrite the original value.

They keep telling you that the FCC has the power to do it but does not have the political will.

This is true. But in this specific case, it is unlikely a single person, especially one in the position of interviewing for a lower level job, would have enough money to rival the company in a lawsuit or cause them severe financial pain. Us

Ehh, only if there was a demonstrable pattern. You can't just sue an employer for not getting a job because you mentioned your religion as the basis for something. I mean in the US you can sue for whatever you want, but the likelihood

Yeah there definitely need to be local restrictions on this when trees are more sparse. Atlanta requires approval and paying a fee to cut down trees on a lot, but some argue the cost is still too low to discourage it.

Reverse engineering is legal in the US, but you had better have detailed records proving no one who knew the insides of the original product ever influenced the clone. And be prepared to explain that in court.

The IRS does in fact compare the data you send them to the data they have. Presumably the IRS, famous for it's computer system, isn't hand-checking every return.
