Good for you, and I fully respect other people making choices like that. I don't believe that you should be forced into a situation that makes you use waymo despite your wishes, an…

> Translation: Poors are allowed to exercise their freedom of movement iff they stay in a huge corpo's good graces. Would it placate you, if we did it for non-poors instead then? I…

Imo it would be more accurate to say that topic experts overestimate how much the average person knows about it.

holy, that's quite a lot. Even the strongest energy drink I've ever seen sold retail in the US had "only" 300mg of caffeine. And it came with plenty of signage on the packaging, in…

Did you have those jagerbombs in Belgium to begin with or while on the way to Belgium?

Fair point, but yeah, it is still quite a crazy amount, esp in terms of alcohol, even for someone like me. And I am saying this as someone with very strong alcohol tolerance, not a…

I am with you here, especially given that the examples listed in the article were basically: * Some young man downed 6 beers and "several" energy drinks, then dove into a lake, and…

> Pay $32/mo (so $770 total) to use an iPhone for two years and then give it back to Apple. At the end of your device lease term, you have an option to buy out your leased device. …

I am of the same opinion. Just doing the napkin math on it, it doesn't come out to be a crazy number, and the bang per buck (in terms of how much it benefits the students) was grea…

If you are hesitant to mention it in the comments, please consider at least putting it in your profile bio. This sounds like a genuinely useful tool that I would personally want to…

You don't even need to be a celebrity or a hedge fund to do that. The public state college I attended rented out Six Flags every fall semester for a day, with free (or nearly free/…

Not going to lie, I wish they also added a square footage as a legal requirement too. It is entirely baffling to me as to why, but NYC is the only major city in the US I've ever li…

Failing to load for me as well.

That was my first thought too, I wonder if it works the same in countries speaking arabic (as that's the first one i could think of that's a language with truly no-buts right to le…

Sure, and "manufacturing novel types of explosive devices, with evidence of them having been used in destructive acts of terror" is just a different name used by cops for "innovati…

Yeah, it's just one person here, but I am starting to see that type of a person across all HN comment sections way more often these days. Nothing personal against that specific use…

Well aware, thanks, hence the "I know it is anecdotal".

It has a full name and personal website link in one of the comments, which contains a link to their food photography page saying that cooking used to be their profession. I would a…

Wait, seriously? I broke my arm late last year in NYC pretty badly, ended up having to get a surgery for carpal tunnel release + a titanium plate implanted. Doctor told me I needed…

Try what? My earlier comment said that it was working just fine for me on mobile Safari.
