I think this is good advice in general -- you can't really ever go wrong with Noctua. I built a Threadripper workstation last year but went with liquid cooling. However, I put 3 Noctua fans on the radiator and haven't…
It really, truly cannot.
I've been using Wire [1] for years on desktop in large part because of their E2E claims; I wanted something simple and secure that worked relatively fluidly for video calls. I've had mostly pleasant experiences with it,…
Hey, truly thanks for this. It's not Dark Sky, but it's not bad, and I never would've heard about it were it not for folks on HN. I'm getting good data for where I live, the UI is nice and clean. It's a start!
Put aside for a second the fact that being rich enough from word processing software to surround yourself with experts and repeat what they tell you does not (necessarily) make you an expert. Apart from that, I agree…
If he's so prescient about pandemics, why didn't he spend the last 20 years, I don't know, making sure healthcare workers in his own darned city had enough masks and gloves to deal with one? Surely he could've saved a…
Excuse a bit of hyperbole, but what sort of medieval nightmare-world are we living in when the citizens of the world's most revered democracy are waiting with bated breath for the pronouncements of the wealthy on…
Source?
Not sure why this is greyed out. I might not agree with all of it, but you're not out of line.
That's a good question, no doubt. A related one I had was (and maybe I missed this), but what's the "dose" of virus one needs to get infected? In the discussion of decay / half life of the virus on surfaces and in the…
"it's well beyond containment IMHO" This depends on how you're defining containment. Grounding aircraft may not decrease the current case count, you're right, but it may help not adding to it, or adding as much, or as…
What evidence can you point to of this "hiding"? Lack of adequate testing is a factor, I Grant you, and a big one -- but clusters are discovered late because it now appears that people can shed virus when they're not…
This makes a sort of sense, but only if you know little about the drugs in question - antipsychotic drugs, formerly known as neuroleptics - which do not target nor act on any demonstrated pathology, lesion, or…
Agreed. I'm much more comfortable with "this is my take on this subject, and here's how I'm a bit biased, but I'll try anyway to be as objective as I can as well" than "this is the way things are"-style proclamations.
As a big fan of their Nexus line of mobile phones, I concur. They weren't perfect, but they were solid, stock Android devices at a reasonable cost. Then they ditched them all of a sudden, and now we have premium-priced…
I've owned a number of OnePlus phones - 3 or 4 at this point - and am tapping this post out on a new OP7 Pro. I really like the hardware, and no device has ever felt poorly made or unfinished, nor have they broken down…
Thanks for this. What you say about proportion of compensation makes a sort of sense, but I don't have the chops or the knowledge of the field to evaluate it. The 'easy to measure' thing is definitely insightful and…
This is really interesting, and what I'm about to say makes me feel more bleeding-heart than I feel I am most days, but there's something deeply melancholy about the fact that this collection of the best intelligence…
I know zero about engineering (or even ethics, heh) but this comment seems plausible and well-reasoned enough to not be anonymously greyed out, which seems a bit tattle-tale-y , to be honest.
Not to mention child sexual abuse scandals in these communities in the NYC area. Edit: hadn't seen an earlier poster's comment on this, my bad. Edit 2: it's worth mentioning that the fraud/welfare issue is a massive…
It's bizarre. What's with the name? The bits don't fit together. Sounds like a low-rent acting school. If it's an an academy, can I take classes? And it's ... The Blink-182 guy?
Reading through the ~60 comments in this thread, I'm surprised that such a large number of HN readers appear so eager to dispute Gopnik's assertion that spying is probably not all it's cracked up to be. (Which is only…
Didn't SwissAir 111 crash because of faulty in-flight entertainment systems? I think there's precedent for lower-rung stuff having unexpected and outsized impact in aviation.
You don't think you're mixing up "heritable" with "genetic" here? In my family, liking the Yankees is highly heritable across generations, but my grandfather would've laughed in your face if you claimed it was genetic.
In the same way that a good caricature or satire exaggerates to some degree while capturing something true, I think this comment probably ascribes a bit more arrogance to the average HN comment than is actually there,…
