And in other news, bears seen defecating in silvan locations /s

This is definitely true, but not exactly news to most people

if you do that everywhere, they'll still be able to find you, via your new pseudo-identity

interesting background on Rand, thank you. From your descriptions, if you're right in your assertions, it seems as if her fiction has been hijacked by dismal extreme libertarians taking characters as if they are paragons of virtue, rather than problematic examples.

Read it again more carefully. They were suggesting, perhaps not directly enough for some, that these long trains are too long, and increase derailments. Because:

- they are harder to start and stop, because size. One mistake.. Shorter trains are easier to control, physically

- Crews are exhausted by these trains because they take too long in infrastructure not built for them (1940s yards), and adding to waiting time, making it much slower to add / move carriages / trucks around, and other logistically disproportional wastes of time

- The trains are too long for communication purposes too. radios don't have the distance. Safety and important messages get missed

...among other things.

and this is why strong and intelligent regulation of many structurally monopolistic industries is essential. (and known in Europe)

This may be your own prejudices here, since Bar orgs are almost exclusively about fitness and good practice, not political point-making

I'm interested in links to any examples if you have some because this is a development I haven't heard of, and I am dartley curious

Interesting article, although I don't believe that 30/6100 is .005%.

Even 1.25,or 1.5 helps, with less cognitive squeeze

This sounds great! Can I ask you an obvious question, which is why should we trust you and your code / created service? I'm constructively positive on an answer to this.

I think that's beside the point. if you're going to spend that much for a charger and cable that should be really well designed and last a long time. Electrical tape leaves sticky residue quite easily and is pretty horrible after a not very long time.

This article describes roughly how I use Evernote for about half of my notes, and this process has made me a lot more creative and improved the quality and coherence of my thinking.

I think your sticking point here is "(given the hardware)". There are always limiting factors. AI robots are unlikely to be building and repairing themselves anytime soon, and can always be deprived of electrons.

This website appears to have been designed in about 1997

I would rephrase that question to "What makes you believe that is one of the more useful models for thinking about the world?"

I think more precisely, my comment was about talking up something without adding extra insight or analysis to the discussion, and GP just posted their app without any extra insight. I intended to have been more precise, but got distracted. thank you for the elaboration, I would agree with you in general.

Somebody here has enough money to help this out and contribute back to SF + culture!

Southern Germany and surrounding areas are much more forested than, for example, the UK, so this is not exactly true. Can we have more precise information?

politely return the cards, with reasons, and thanks, suggesting an alternative outlet for gift cards they can buy you?

I agree. Do you have a good set of alternative sources that you know aren't as dodgy? I used to use (and still do sometimes) ones like newegg, but I have no idea whether they're much better

i don't think our civilisations are enlightened enough yet, but I appreciate your optimism, and share your wishes. Once we solve the Psychopath-CEO-President-Capital problems, perhaps...

Aha, do note that sarcasm mostly goes down badly on hn, because literal people, and jokes historically frowned upon.

You can't do that in Android on the S9+, nor on any variants that i know of on Android 8 or 9. All you can do is restrict it to a long press. If you have a link to reassignment, I'd like to see it.

I don't understand the downvoting of the parent here, which is factually correct and worth noting. It's incredibly unhealthy and this is just down to marketing that anybody eats it. You can make really nice chocolate spreads with your own hazelnuts

Useful sleep hack from the military. I tried it and it seems to work: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/national-napping-da...

Agreed. Also mods, please can we alter the title to something more descriptive and less baity?

Absolutely not: it's essential, because all but psychopathic people learn how to do things for real by going through the actions. This is essential training.

Unreliable source. This is one of those stupid articles which takes a very very unlikely worst case scenario and paints it as news. The earth could get hit by an asteroid tomorrow, Shock! Horror!. You should know better than this
