It does feel disingenuous, but its also nothing new. Military research has always been the one of the primary driving forces behind critical technology. Commercial tech is vulnerable to all sorts of disruptions,…
Cotton also shrinks when wet and has poor thermal properties - polymer blend fabrics perform better in the cold, and are lighter and cheaper than wool. Goretex is wonderful stuff, but its also made of…
I'm just spitballing here, but I'd wager that the human toll required to evolve effective resistance to regular and prolonged asbestos exposure is more than most of us would be willing to pay. We already evolved these…
Sure, but ensuring all mechanics everywhere have access to use PPE, and then enforcing its correct use is way less effective in practice than removing the hazardous material from the workplace entirely. Being exposed to…
Since the cycle of stellar observation repeats each solar year, the observation would itself be a method of time keeping. One would need only to track the azimuth of a series of regularly positioned star constellations…
im not sure I want a lithe hunter stalking through my house, marking every surface and attacking everything that breathes. I much prefer my dopey dander machines that sleep on my chest, flop around on the ground chasing…
Found this: http://www.ipodlinux.org/stories/piezo I got an iPod for christmas. The ipodlinux project was one of the main reasons for my choice and so I started exploring the iPod as far as I was able to. I patched the…
We're all irrational actors, though. Various life events drive people towards drug use. It doesnt have to be a rational decision: a split second moment of desperation is all it takes. And heroin is just _that_ addictive.
To be perfectly clear, most addicts understand that their addiction is killing then, but caring about that pales in comparison to the addictive urge to continue using. It's not some cerebral choice- once addicted, you…
As a person who lives in an area known to have Lyme, and as an avid hiker, it is not hard to do tick checks periodically. Ticks don't embed immediately, and generally there is a window of several hours up to about half…
It is much more effective to do more with less. There will always be a need for air conditioning in some cases, but having 10 million single window units blasting walls of heat into a crowded city very quickly becomes…
I read parent as looking for sources that provide access to hi-res satellite imaging, without them needing to provide access to their wallet.
Certainly not, but one wouldn't need to catch every satellite launch for space weapon- one or two would be enough evidence to go public and warrant further scrutiny. There are a number of extremely savvy amateur…
Thats a long commute from the prehistoric Bristish Isles to the nearest Starbucks. I hope he bought in bulk.
Following the exposure of COINTELPRO, the FBI dialed back its presence information gathering apparatus publicly, though critics of beaueau practices maintain similar programs have persisted through the following…
So far, I've seen nothing in these comments promoting Chrome, or Google more generally. They (Google and Microsoft) are both the tech equivalent of boogeyman, but this article focuses on specific anticompetitive…
There's no fluid bodies on the moon to cushion an incoming asteroid or comet - even if there was an initial gentle capture by the moons gravity, the object would either orbit indefinitely, be cast off, or meet a violent…
I doo feel that part of what defines what people will and won't tolerate within a disruption to their lives is spectacle. People seem to love to rail against the ordinary, while they crane their necks and gawk at the…
One wonders if the packets were US specification (a precise 2 - 4 grams) or the much looser Polish designation (5 - 10 grams). It's critical to get to the bottom of this: what is the SI standard for sugar sachet?
What works for Singapore works for Singapore; the US is a very different country. As for the failings of the "War on Drugs" in the US, these have been well documented by multiple levels of social research.

The ball is. At least it was considerate enough to leave it's fire behind.
It sounds like you have some stories built up - if you're looking to share, I've observed HN to be a very tolerant place for people looking to reminisce about their glory days of dubious home chem sets, pharmacological…
Yes, though their selection is usually more limited than other supermarkets in the same locale.
Bears are also not obligate carnivores, unlike big cats which nearly exclusively eat meat.
