Oh, very good...

Surprised nobody is commenting about the fact that [service] is effectively reading your email and parsing it for keywords. What else are they parsing for?

Get off my lawn.

"It's so cool is just works"?! OP sounds shocked that you don't need 50MB+ of scripts and CSS to serve a webpage.

I use Caret Tab. Nicely configurable, syncs with browser settings.

The city of Toppenish in the US had the same problem when the council turned on a generic filtering system for the city networks. Everything stopped working.

No questions, just wanted to say thank you for such a great service.

Trusting a service provider is really hard in most cases, but you make it easy to trust rsync with posts like this and backing it up with reliable services.

Wow... I lived in Dillingham for several years, and have been to Igiugig several times. Never ever would have thought I'd read about it on the web, let alone HackerNews.

I've started a few Google et al. maps of them but never get around to actually doing something with them.

Maybe I'll move my 3am hobby up a notch and start posting or contributing to forgottenairfields.

I have a low-grade hobby of scanning around in Google Maps looking for old airfields in the UK. Pretty easy to spot when you know what patterns to look for, even when they've been ploughed under and are a wheat field now.

The company name is Evergreen, the name of the ship is Ever Given.

The explanation of the service sounds like the rules for The Cones of Dunshire.

Even in the most trivial sense, I have seen it in action.

Me (normal looking guy) and the GF (average-trending-to-pretty) at a fast food restaurant. I go up to the counter and ask for a couple extra sauce packets, only to be told they are 0.25 each.

GF goes up 1 minute later, asks for two sauce packets and is given a hand full, for free.

"German volunteers learning Dutch who’d drunk enough vodka to achieve a blood alcohol level of 0.04 per cent (approximately equivalent to just under a pint of beer for a 70kg male) were rated by independent Dutch speakers as speaking the language more proficiently during a short-test"

Based on my limited exposure to Dutch, this sounds about right; drunken German.

I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska, for 25 years.

On numerous occasions the aurora were bright enough that you could easily see to walk safely at night without a flashlight. Yes, it was a dim green glow on the ground but looking up directly at them, they were as bright as a full moon.

The answer is to outlaw lobbyists, it would fix a lot of problems. That, and enact term limits for Congress. That will fix even more.

I had a 10 year background in fire/EMS before getting in to tech, and have "sneaked in" ICS concepts and practices to several of my employers and teams.

I tried to introduce the ICS concepts formally and up-front, but met a lot of pushback; "we don't need that", "we're not dealing with fires" or "it's too complicated".

By using ICS principles without calling them such, people usually see the value. I even got a sizable promotion and raise due to my "clear and concise handling of several serious incidents and putting procedures in place to handle similar in the future". All I did was direct people in to ICS functions and act as an IC.

I agree that ICS concepts should use used more widely and outside of just emergency services, but getting past the "stigma" of the title is the hard part.

Technically, aren't planets moons of their star? So if a 'planet' has a moon, wouldn't that be a submoon?

I am not a developer, but something like AdBlock or uBlock Origin should be able to at least highlight the "Sponsored" text to make it more prominent?

An ancient Byzantine general was once involved in a plot to overthrow the king. His plot included a number of followers in the upper ranks of the army. However, his plot was uncovered, and the king threw him in jail. The king sentenced him to death without a trial.

However, from the jail he was able to secretly contact his followers to arrange to escape, meet his followers, and attack the king's palace at night. So the night before his scheduled execution, the general managed to escape from prison. He fled to a ziggurat several kilometers away, where his followers would meet him. However, the ziggurat was one of several in the area, and he wasn't sure if his cohorts would find the right ziggurat. By this time it was twilight, so he lit a small fire and sent smoke signals to indicate in which structure he was hiding.

However, the king's loyal soldiers saw the smoke coming from the ziggurat, and came to arrest him before he could meet his followers. He was executed later that day.

The moral of the story? WARNING: The searching general has determined that smoking ziggurats can be extremely hazardous to your stealth.

I went through paramedic school in Los Angeles in the early 90s and worked along side US Army medics who were sent there to learn how to deal with trauma cases.

Ah, good times at UCLA Medical Centre and MLK.

Not specifically 'then and now', but Chris Dorley-Brown has some great modern shots of the area:

What I don't get is how when I post a 15 second video that has some music in the background at a coffee shop and I get a YouTube-bot telling me I have violated copyright but then bazillions of others post full HD rips of Hollywood movies and commercial albums.

The people who seem to rail the most against PowerPoint are the ones who cannot create meaningful and well-designed presentations. It is like any other tool, if you use it improperly, the results can be terrible. Used properly, it is an effective and efficient way to display your information and ideas.

Similar to the Fulton, but for a glider instead. Talk about a ride.

From the headline, I could not figure out how an A330s flight control system could have any influence on spacecraft launched in 1977. Surely there would be no way to port the code and the storage on the Voyagers is tiny... at least until the V'ger Mk. I upgrade.
