Racism definition: "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea th…

Go get your CPAP. It will change your life. It will also extend your life.

> to the point where some elementary schools are teaching "white" children they should feel guilty for being born "white." No they aren't. No one is doing this anywhere.

I don't think it changes you. I think it reveals who you actually are.

"as well as the parts I don't want (which I indicate in-video)" How do you indicate that in the video?

This doesn't excuse Apple's poor design, but I highly recommend Keyboard Maestro to solve this problem for you. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to actions in specific programs (a…

> incentivized to spread their unsuccessful genes Wow. This is an incredibly ridiculous and damaging statement. It's sad that the only way you measure hard work and intelligence is…

Some TVs these days come without tuners. Internet only.

That is an eye-opening book.

"Banks didn’t verify borrowers’ occupations or incomes. They qualified people for bigger loans than they could afford. They offered loans with monthly payments so low that borrower…

> I genuinely do not understand Apple's move into this space There are only so many markets big enough for Apple to consider entering. Cars is one of them. Banking is another. They…

"Mr. Rad and his merry band of plaintiffs" I sometimes really love legalese.

I think basically because (1) they can and (2) no one has stepped in to prevent them from doing it. But it's absurd.

How about just require a photo upload and then look at the photo's metadata (time, date, GPS, etc) to match it up with the data they already have (i.e. where the driver is)? Maybe …

Really interested in what sensor boards you used to detect everything. Have you shared any of your code at all? Sounds like a really cool project.

> Duran has been living in the United States for over a decade, since he fled from El Salvador after his life was threatened. And you purposefully left off the last 5 words of this…

> His case supposedly stems from a deportation order filed in 2007, but Duran's legal team said he never received notice to go to immigration court in connection with the case. > H…

I've been using a .cc domain for my email for just over 20 years. Twenty years ago some people were confused by the .cc, but overall I had only a few problems with that. And now it…

Because so many other things come into email – marketing emails, notifications, work-related emails, etc. that people don't check it as often. Texting and other chat applications a…

Dead on. And the comment you referenced is one of my favorite all-time HN comments… "For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FT…

From the author's bio: "Recreational golfer" I could write a similar column about how he is wasting his time playing golf. Is hitting a ball with a stick and trying to get that bal…

> Driving a car isn't a right but a privilege so I'm on with this. The right to privacy IS a right and NOT a privilege. So I'm not down with this.

You're not the target audience, obviously. Although you and I realize that what you're talking about is simple to do, for us ... it's not as simple for many other people. So the id…

I'd be interested to see how older people interacted with the device. I know someone who got their parent a device and they kept "Alexa" written on a post-it because they couldn't …

Apple definitely missed the boat on this. Unless their speakers are leaps and bounds better in some way, I don't see many people switching. Once someone has a couple of Amazon Echo…
