You use standard pressure (29.92 inHg) above transition altitude, which, in the United States, is 18,000 feet. Pilots wouldn't be changing the altimeter after climbing past this po…

Most employees at tech firms, Microsoft included, are awash in their employer's stock. It's not in their best interest to intentionally tank the stock.

This is almost the entire thesis of Zero Trust Networking principles. Somehow, the user AND the device need to attest to validity during the authorization process. "Validity" for a…

Yikes. Despite loving this album, I really thought there might be merit to this lawsuit. And then... this article. Smells like a money grab to me as well.

I see the point as well, but it seems like a lot of theatrics at this point. For example: the rainbow flag has always been for the LGBTQIA+ community. Now the flag has the added tr…

What law would you propose to block private companies from deciding who they do and do not want to serve? I see the obvious slippery-slope argument being made all over the place bu…

One of my favorite games growing up, and somehow always kept going back to it despite already knowing how to solve all the puzzles. Seemed like a natural pivot to become a movie so…

Makes sense. With respect to the environment, I don't pay much attention to racing so I don't know if that would stick out as much to me personally. I think shadows are more preval…

The quality is impressive, and I've seen this before with older footage which has been re-scanned in higher quality. Still, there's some characteristic about old footage which sort…

I noticed this as well: the 'exodus' is comprised (so far) of companies which haven't innovated in a long time. At least according to the linked article, three companies so far hav…

This might be the wrong forum for my question. Please direct me to the correct place if that's true. I don't use the coax connection in my home at all. Meanwhile, there is a coax j…

I haven't seen this, but I do run a PiHole along with uBlock Origin and rarely visit Facebook's site directly. Can I assume you aren't using either of these tools?

I want to say no. It does sound close, but at least with what you've cited it gives the appearance of choice.

Possibly, but advertising is one of the first things companies cut in a down economy. I want to believe these companies have good intent, but it could also be construed as opportun…

Isn't this the same risk anyone enlisting in the military also runs? Still, I agree - it would be a lot easier to avoid these awful posts if people had to pay to be on the platform…

Sounds like you've been playing Assassin's Creed! Maybe not quite a 'long-term' memory in the context you're after, but I wonder how this would compare to something like instinct a…

It surprises me the large shipping companies (UPS, Fedex) haven't pushed fulfillment to the level Amazon has. Frankly, I would be shopping directly through retailers more if I coul…

I've been working with SQL a lot in my job lately. For what it's worth, I'm a big fan. It seems the central argument here is NoSQL doesn't force you into good design habits so it's…

Don't forget they also have a smoke/CO2 monitor. I use that because it would be really handy to know about those being issues prior to coming home. Of course, the next question is …

The strategy here resembles how Malcolm Gladwell writes. Start the topic with a story to get you hooked, then expand on the actual subject. Though Gladwell sort of surrounds the to…

To me, it's opting into different means for keeping in touch and hence, keeping that "presence" in my friends' lives. I quit Facebook a year ago - I had 800+ friends. I was only "c…

I don't disagree with you, but I think most HN readers are power users. In the context of this article, I feel like most readers don't fall into this category and probably aren't g…

You can influence change from the outside. And in tech where talent acquisition is a fierce game, employees leaving due to ethics would be the greatest show of force.
