I'm considering replacing my HomePod with either Denon Home 150 [0] or going DIY route with HiFiBerry DAC [1]

domas··on World's rivers 'awash with dangerous levels of antibiotics'
Why not bring it back to pharmacy? In UK and other EU countries pharmacies collect and have ways to dispose of medical waste. Same goes for the shops that sell alkaline batteries - they have special waste bins for disposing of used ones.

Google translate works surprisingly well even on the interactive pyramid translating hover text too.
domas··on Show HN: Bitesnap – Deep Learning Meets Food Logging
This is probably due to contry restrictions. I get the same "incompatible with all your devices" on the website, but "This item is not available in your country" in Google Play app.

domas··on Guy spotted wandering London Tube skimming contactless cards with POS device
Looks like this FB post is just a hoax.

Linked FB post is not an original. There is an older story here in Russian: https://tjournal.ru/22625-staling-money-with-terminal

domas··on Study finds almost half of all cancers linked to preventable factors
I think "healthy food" is a bit misnomer: only people can be healthy or unhealthy, while food can be nutritious or not. While health of an apple is quite a different thing (apple tree disease?)
domas··on Knowmail – AI for email
I would have issue with "anonymized info" as this is difficult to achieve as shown from other anonymous data releases [0].

domas··on 8K TVs Are Coming to Market
The paragraph is saying that "absolutely no evidence of pixelation even if your face is an inch from the set", so my interpretation is that in normal viewing distance even zoomed in video will look perfect: "That’s not a realistic viewing scenario, but on the production side of the equation, it means digitally zooming an image without affecting picture quality will be a reality."
domas··on Build your own Jarvis
Ok, rereading FAQ found "None of this information ever leaves the Pi" for information in my profile. Still interesting what cloud services are being used, but this probably is on a per-module basis.
domas··on Build your own Jarvis
Is this a self-hosted solution or anything is being sent to the "cloud"? Strangely site's FAQ did not answer this.
domas··on Carbon nanotubes found in children’s lungs
Because we are better at diagnosing them then years ago. It does not mean that there are more cases of "cancer, Alzheimer's, autism, etc.". People diagnosed with Asperger syndrome would be called quirky, or plainly weird twenty years ago.
domas··on Free will is back, and maybe we can measure it
Then by this logic one could argue, that locking them away for 30 years is not unfair because it is also predetermined by the state of the universe at this given time and there is nothing other people could do but to sentence the killer. Free will or no free will the argument goes both ways.

domas··on Knuth and Plass line-breaking Revisited
This page is using default font size (as in not overriden via styles). To me it looks the same size as on HN. Also zoom function works in Chrome and font size is increased when zooming.

domas··on Creationism Banned from Science Classes by Scottish Government
You didn't respond to any of the main points listed in the second paragraph. Would you say you can't find experiments for points (1) to (4)?

Does point (5) needs any experiments? While point (6) just needs a more extensive definition.

These 6 points are giving you the proof that you are asking for evolution to be proven in a scientific method.

Edit: fixed typos.

domas··on Business Travelers Want to Be Left to Their Own Devices
I had similar issue where my grandmother would not talk more than one minute when I'm calling from abroad. Trick that worked on her was telling her that I have "free minutes" so she does not need to worry about the cost.
domas··on Researchers reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics
Usually "organic" means that no synthetic pesticides or genetic modification were used. You are allowed to use pesticides from natural sources. In practice it means that organic farmers are using less effective pesticides and must use more of it to reach the same effectiveness.

It's a classic Appeal to nature tactic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature

It allows to automate actions using JavaScript. For example "Remind me to take an umbrella every day the first time I unlock my phone, if it is going to be rainy"

Works on Android only, and you still need a computer to to go their website add recipes to your phone though.

And sadly you need Facebook account to use it.
