Just to be clear, I don't think this is useful or good legislation. While the idea that the state is a shady body that's out to fleece an honest and unsuspecting peoples is a great story beat, I just don't think it's…
I think the representatives pushing for this legislation is evidence that a significant portion of their polled constituents want restrictions on printed ghost guns. Is that more or less believable than a manufacturing…

The only usable part a plastic 3D printer will make for you is the receiver, which is the whole point, to circumvent that very narrow legal classification. You're right about alternative lawmaking avenues, but given the…
Did you mean to reply to the BYD lidar thread on the front page right now? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46579927
They couldn't "back then" either, I would argue.

From our experience here in Queensland, it's definitely not lost. We managed to get on top of a delta outbreak that peaked at NZ's current daily cases with a week of lockdown less than a month ago.
Of course! I should have mentioned that I absolutely agree with the thrust of your original comment :) I should have been less confrontational with my opening statement.
I'm a little confused, you seem to be using choice and environment like they are synonymous here. It's a small nitpick but, even if this is environmental or epigenetic it doesn't necessarily mean that people get to…
I believe the original assertion was that the word 'idiot' is often used as shorthand for people that have different priors and indoctrination as you, so to propose that engineers are somehow less susceptible to that…
What, you've never met a stupid engineer?
Those societal advantages are only that way because of the defaults the article is describing. You could imagine a set of norms that better encourages and supports young parents (in child rearing as well as personal…
That is assuming that the person that owns the wealth is the sole driver for growth of that wealth. Can we stop pretending that being wealthy is empirical evidence that you know how to grow an investment?
While it's true that methane only lasts for a decade in the atmosphere, it decays in to co2 and water vapor so it's not as though it is better in the long run. It's very bad short term and as bad long term.
I think their point was that architectural decisions shouldn't be dictated by any one single engineer.
The light is emitted from an accretion disk, which does not envelope the entire sphere.
I might not be understanding your scenario correctly, but isn't it stated that UTC has 00:00 offset and should be stored that way? You would then add an offset based on current tzdata for that timezone string which…
Not to mention that you need to grow the grain to feed the beef if they aren't grass fed cattle.
We have the organs to reproduce provided that we, you know, exist... I'm not arguing how correct the definition is, more that it's what is 'textbook' from my understanding, and not really do do with the consume energy,…
I thought the reason was that a virus has no means to reproduce without hijacking some other living thing's facilities with which to replicate itself.
Here's one, people want to use bitcoin for transactions, as these blocks of transactions fill up, new hashes are needed for each block. The miners are finding these hashes and facilitating the continued use of the…
No need to be smug, FreeBSD is hardly the only operating system available to us.
It has sync and backup options, tools for non destructive changes and robust search, a web UI so it can be used like a dropbox. Just because it's not useful to you doesn't mean it's useful to no one. Oh and importers…
So I do think this is a cool idea, though I have found that my phone usually gorges on battery power when it isn't in range of a tower (I'd love to hear the exact reason it would if anyone knows). An "airplane mode"…
