    It's a bit unfair to blame mosquitoes (who are also only a small portion of insects). As far as I'm aware, the diseases hitch a ride in mosquitoes, not harming them typically. The …

    I don't have strong magnetic fields in my house (as far as I know...) but I am the bad combination of clumsy, anxious and forgetful. They're not a big worry for me either (I don't …

    Ask HN: Best Long(ish)-Term Storage Format?

    Basically, I've been thinking of storing more things physically, thanks to *gestures vaguely*. But I don't know which format to use given my criteria. In rough order of importance:…

    "Everyone is a king, but some kings are more kingly than others." Fun fact about World War II Albania: pretty much uniquely, especially in the region (Yugoslavia had a death rate o…

    By the way, of students who have heard of ChatGPT, 32 percent have used it. But more importantly, this feels like a broad thing. There's a huge difference between 'hey I have to wr…

    Until last year, when it broke, I had a Dell that seems to be from 2012 (Latitude E5530, but I might have gotten one of the numbers wrong), albeit refurbished and with more RAM. It…

    Another bonus to World War II intelligence efforts was the relatively high number of German-speaking American Jews, some refugees from Nazi Germany, who had both the linguistic abi…

    Because Democrats continue to play by 'the rules', which only works if everyone else does. And Republicans don't. Quite frankly, this is starting to remind me of the lead-up to the…

    Why is my brain blanking on all possible puns about TikTok's time running out? Anyway, this feels early. Especially in California; they're banning four and a half hours before they…

    There are different types of merge. There's the 'look at it! It just makes sense !' type. There's the 'we wanted to do this thing but you're already doing it' merge. There's the 'l…

    From trying to research Jewish folklore, I can tell you there are a ton of books and archival materials (eg at YIVO) that have never been translated from Hebrew or Yiddish (or, occ…

    Minor correction, Shoah is Hebrew. See eg Yom HaShoah (literally: day of the catastrophe), Israel's Holocaust Memorial Day.

    I agree that it's not ethnic cleansing, but that's an awful support. Just because you're bad at evil doesn't make you not evil. Like, I assume Israel's population has gone up since…

    The fact Jews emigrated to the Muslim world is an indictment of the Christian one, not praiseworthy for them. If we're killed every Tuesday in Europe but every other Tuesday in the…

    I do not normally swear, but what the fuck? We absolutely were expelled (genocided, really). Or what else would you call the Romans banning us from our holy city Jerusalem (and ren…
