That's what I was thinking too. Lyn is super cool.

The London plane tree, a hybrid between the eastern sycamore and the american sycamore, could be an example of this. They were some of the only trees that could cope with the heavy pollution in London during the industrial revolution. Here's more information if anyone's interested: https://londonist.com/2015/03/the-secret-history-of-the-lond...

EDIT: Looks like someone also mentioned the london plane before me

An interesting and related story: European newspaper couriers used 6 wheeled Citroens to transport the paper across countries overnight at nearly 100 mph.

Well certainly nobody feels its necessary to run illegal corn growing operations in national parks. But as long as legalized drugs have a significant price premium over black market drugs, then incentives for this behavior would still be in place.

I don't see why a CAD file would be any different than normal instructions for building firearms. For example, building a 12 gauge shotgun from 1" and 3/4" steel pipe is cheaper, easier, and probably safer/more effective than the plastic gun from the article. It seems to me the 3D printing part of this made the article popular for clickbait and thus it garnered more attention than the traditional approaches to homemade weapons. I guess my point is that making a CAD file illegal when a PDF instruction file is legal isn't very consistent or logical.

These traits would make it a pretty good guard dog though.

While not quite from scratch, I have built guns. I might add that it is a very interesting and educational experience for anyone interested. Also, know that so long as you aren't a felon and the gun you build complies with federal and state laws, it is completely legal to do so.

I don't think you can relate toxic masculinity to stoicism or suppression of feelings. While there are toxic attitudes that are merely acting out some misunderstood idea of masculinity (Ex: Telling a boy with legitimate issues that he needs to get over it), much of these ideas have merit. Men suppress their feelings so that they can be a strong pillar for their families in times of trouble.

Say a leader in your family, like a father, dies. What good does it do a man to completely break down emotionally and be of no value. In an ideal scenario, a man will step up and become truly useful during this time of trouble. Somebody has to make funeral plans and deal with the logistics of the whole crisis. This is a selfless action that gives others a time to mourn and you will get your time to mourn after everyone else has collected themselves.

Additionally, while deep and dangerous feelings, such as depression, should not be suppressed, many of the things you feel don't need to be shared. Maybe you don't feel like working out, or you feel like going off on an annoying coworker. These feelings do no good for you or the people around you, or are afraid to do the things you know you should be doing, but you still feel them. It would be better to suppress them, face your fears, and do something useful. There are times to share your emotions and there are times to suppress them, and it only takes a little bit of wisdom to tell the difference.

I like this a lot. I also believe that taking complete responsibility for all of the issues in your life (some call it extreme ownership) is better than the inverse. If everything is your fault then at least you can try to change it, but if nothing is your fault then you're hopeless.

I'm about to graduate high school and train become an electrician. I chose this route over college because I know I would be miserable at a normal desk job and going into the trades will allow me to work with my hands, which I enjoy doing, as well as allow me to start my own business fairly easily. Aside from the opportunity cost of putting off college and/or job experience, I don't see how I could lose much if I decide to pursue another path in the future. I'm open to advice or ideas, so let me know what you guys think.

At least they're all really cool cars.

I've heard Joe Rogan talk about this on his podcast. It sounds like there is an epidemic of cartoon styled videos with dark endings that wind up autoplaying after kids' videos.

The police have held a press conference. https://twitter.com/search?q=san%20bruno%20press%20conferenc...

It looks like shooter was a female who is now deceased with 4 or 5 others injured.

It also might be helpful to do the opposite. Write out what your life will be like if you continue down the wrong path or just let yourself go entirely. I think we all have some idea of what our lives would be like if we regress, I know mine would be especially terrifying. This way if you aren't motivated to chase your goals you will at least have something to run away from.

At my high school - a private prep school - we are required to have iPads. All of us were required to install a monitoring program that has access to most of what we do on the iPads (internet searches, messages, etc.). To my knowledge, it hasn't been used to incriminate anyone but it still makes me wary.

I gave up pop a while back. I never drank coffee so breaking the caffeine addiction wasn't too hard after the three day hump. Also, because I would normally drink pop in the evening I get better sleep and actually feel better/more energized than I did when I drank caffeine.

My thought behind quitting was that there was no reason to be caffeinating myself every day. That way when I do need extra energy hopefully my tolerance will be lower.

Jordan Peterson talked about this in his infamous Cathy Newman interview. I think it's worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcjxSThD54

Or you could have a combination of both. I'm currently in high school. I live in a small town's school district but commute into a fairly large city to school (about a 35 minute drive). This gives me both access to nature (where I live) and the opportunities/resources of a city (where my friends live). While it may not be for everyone, I wouldn't want to have it another way. What I can also tell you is that significantly more people die at the small town school than in the city (almost all are vehicle-related deaths).

The amount of civility on HN is almost unbelievable. The behavior of the users is one of the HN's biggest strengths.

I'm interested in hearing more.

Theres a lot of really intelligent people on here. To me, its often more interesting to read their insights and debates on an article than the article itself. HN always introduces me to new technologies and new ideas. I love it.

I've heard this phrased in another way. The question isn't why many women seek more balance, it's why some men are insane enough to want to work such intense hours.

This seems like it may be appropriate: http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html

Not to mention the competitor will most likely have to do without the subsidies SpaceX received from the government.

I have to agree. Peterson's lectures were the most interesting and beneficial things that I listened to this year.

I was thinking of doing something like this. What about a forum type site where older people could directly ask us questions?

That's a tough one. As you probably know, we all have phones (mostly iPhones) In terms of things that aren't electronic it gets tough. Shoes are a common place to spend money as is most other clothing. I would say apps and downloads are another big thing. To tell you the truth though, nothing really sticks out to me as the #1 best seller.
