There seems to be a weird popular misconception about Paw Patrol being some sort of police recruitment propaganda for toddlers. I've (unfortunately) had to sit through hundreds of …

Check out Luma it's an iPhone app that makes it really easy to create Nerfs and render out videos from them. Although I don't think it handles long paths like this method yet. http…

Yeah it seems like such a strange mindset to me too. I feel like some people find it hard to think of things outside of a monetary system. We live in such a financialised world. Yo…

While I think maths was one subject that held out as male-dominated, and it still probably is at university level and beyond, recently girls started to out-perform boys at school l…

If you kill yourself while cycling then you were almost certainly hit by a car, which is probably more likely if you are drunk cycling. But this is also the fault of bad cycling in…

If only there was some way every member of the public could have a say in political decisions. Hopefully one of those clever startups figures it out.

The article discusses this. Egypt are apparently starting to produce a lot of green hydrogen for export to Europe.

> “The anti-fentanyl antibodies were specific to fentanyl and a fentanyl derivative and did not cross-react with other opioids, such as morphine. That means a vaccinated person wou…

I stopped using the iOS version for 2 reasons. It had started to be very slow, hitting the address bar to enter a url would result in a multi-second freeze. Also it doesn't support…

Yeah I use F2 constantly for rename, not just in explorer but very useful in lots of apps. In Unity (the game engine) it's invaluable. Also F3 is generally "Find next" when you hav…

That homepage is straight outta 2002! Oh my

I was expecting it to be artist residences on cargo ships like http://www.containerartistresidency01.org/about/ This is way more dystopian though. Cool.

They can be very painful, in my experience. I would not opt for one without sedation again.

It is a dialect of course, basically RP. They are both middle-upper class Londoners and the accent still survives to some degree. You can tell when the one lady sings the "cockney"…

As an employee earning £50k a year I would pay £12224 tax and NI, as a self employed person I would pay £11303 tax and NI. If I'm working for my own ltd I will pay £10871 as a comb…

What are you talking about? OPEC is not a labour union, which is clearly what’s being discussed here. You may as well say a horse is a duck because they both shit.

They are building giant solar desalinators in Saudi Arabia so this is maybe not far from the truth. https://wired.me/science/environment/desalination-solar-dome...

I hope CFexpress replaces SD card slots on laptops. I’d love to boost or swap the storage in my in mine but sd cards are so slow and.

HN boasts an international audience and many of us earn a lot less than $100/hour. Plus you know it is called “hacker” news, not “bought it at the store” news.

This looks really cool although it’s hard to find an explanation of what it really is. Looking through github it seems to be a sort of api for producing SDF volumes? Rather than a …

I was just using the ISP router on its own. Any recommendations for a good router?

I did run a few semi-private sites from my home but I soon found the incoming traffic was causing my outbound connection to fall over. Lots of dropped video calls and spotty vpn co…

They are planning to bring it back in Scotland, as a more univeral scheme like the GP descirbes in Norway. The timeline keeps getting pushed back due to lobbying from the drinks in…

European countries aren't dealing with these people by stuffing them in asylums; they have public housing programs, free healthcare, community support programs, health-workers and …
