Done; I’m very interested.

> Gun laws have only gotten more strict in recent years, not less strict This is definitely not true at the state level, and not exactly true at the federal level either. Every sta…

Not anymore. The firearms community is more inclusive than it has ever been. We - and I obviously count myself among them - see the racial disparity in access to arms as a key comp…

> Instead, the FDA publicly retracted it's authorization for the use of HCQ and said it did more harm than good, Why? Are the data that the FDA relied upon for this determination p…

I’m in the “WHO is ineffective at best” camp, but I agree with you here. They have been conservative in their statements. I don’t recall them ever saying “it doesn’t spread person-…

I use hckrnews.com as my “front end” for HN, so this doesn’t happen for me - it shows submissions in chronological order.

I’m actually not sure what I “normally” shoot at. I shoot manual and dynamically adjust my settings to the scene almost unconsciously. Now I’m curious to see if I can run some stat…

I would love to see a follow-up to this in the form of an interview with someone (or as many people who are still alive) who worked behind the scenes at Simulmatics. The events in …

I’m only a “semi-serious” photographer at this point, but I’ve spent thousands of dollars in the past ten years based largely on the subjective quality of bokeh.

Remington tried to pivot into the semi-auto handgun market with the R51. It’s a good design, but one that doesn’t mesh well with modern manufacturing techniques. They pumped a ton …

> rather the notion that they crash so god damn often Perhaps they aren't crashing on accident, but are shot down? I'm not saying I believe that, of course, but "crash" != "acciden…

How would nuclear power do anything other than make it much heavier than it would otherwise be and let it stay aloft much longer?

As cool and revolutionary as that would be for the future of mankind in the long run, it wouldn't have any immediate or short-term impact. Anti-gravity/electrogravitics would make …

Apparently I’m just a moron, because i see no reason to believe your post was satirical. The advice is silly, sure - but I’ve seen worse advice posted here, and this very thread is…

It pretty much did, until he started ordering fake IDs shipped to his house...

Not necessarily. It’s possible that the necessary info was merely accessible through info that was posted on Slack.

You have valid points, but I’d argue that Python looked like that for much of its life. It didn’t really start to see widespread adoption until Django hit the scene - from memory, …

> I'm surprised not at those uses, but that anyone would use a fancy steel knife for any of them. Speaking only for myself - I get enjoyment from using quality tools. That goes for…

> I posted that comment so people who might otherwise like to frequent HN doesn't get the idea that the median poster here is a transphobe. This has literally nothing to do with tr…

Ah, this strikes right at the core of the primary differences underlying American society today. I don’t care at all what the doctor’s motivations were - I only care about their ac…
