Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files https://www.theredhandfiles.com/ I wouldn't say immediately or even regularly, but I do like to catch up on them every so often. Short food for thoug…

Company's response: "* Editor’s Note: This announcement has been updated to reflect that the SmartCheck feature is available for use with grassroots advocacy campaigns only, and ca…

Paul describing the process: 56:2656:28 They cut the forest, burn the forest. 56:2856:30 And then they run water through the sand. 56:3056:33 And the sand particles have bits of go…

Wasn't too bad for me though I was a bit worried because I needed it before fire season was in full-swing. ~35 days from order, June 1 to 1st week of July (onescytherevolution.com)…

$305 for a scythe (snath + blade) to replace a gas-powered riding trimmer. Quite a different experience coming from a loud, heavy, bouncy, overly-destructive machine to a much more…

`Wendy Carlos demonstrates her Moog Synthesizer in 1970` https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SBDH5uhs4Q I'm going to have to dig into Wendy Carlos more and will thanks to this thread …

I recommend reading the short book/guide The Underachiever's Manifesto as an alternative view (which someone here had suggested awhile back). Decide on the right amount of effort, …

I've since downgraded, but for the day where I was using the new version I had to switch to something more clunky: SetTitleMatchMode 2 IfWinExist,Spotify Premium { WinActivate slee…

This same group is covered in the Nova episode Dogs Decoded (available on Netflix US): http://documentarystorm.com/dogs-decoded/ (starting from 31:11) I'm not sure if it's this epi…

I wish I could filter this type of non-content out of my life. How can someone write this filler article knowing they'll be wasting everyone's time who reads it?

I'm not sure if that's such an advantage. Fashion shows are ahead of the ball by quite a bit and it takes 6+ months for end users to become accustomed/familiar/used to it to the po…

On the contrary, I would love to see what happens if they try. It would get the right kind of attention. This service is a great step in the right direction.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been meaning to get the LAMP documentary, but will get both now. Things were so simple, yet complex back then.

This can be said for energy and medical industries, too. We are smart enough to solve all the world's problems , but we won't do it until we are backed in a corner and need to. Not…

I love this article. Aside from the various HN Newsletters, is there a site that highlights by day the more interesting content like this? Not to rant, but here I go anyways. There…

I usually say "triple-double-u" when I reference it verbally. I had a project manager long ago that would say dub-dub-dub and it just sounded silly to me.

Same for me. Getting into that type of science in particular.

I really like this idea and the simple execution of the sharing functionality. Since it's free, how do you plan to make money? And how's your infrastructure if this were added to a…

Ever since MS removed the ability to dock toolbars to the left side of the screen (Vista/7) I've been using pinned start menu items and the Windows key to quickly access them. It d…

Likewise, though their mobile app appears to let you see the products without signing in.

Make it hackable and it'll have longer legs. A daily to-do or grocery list is a good use-case, but for social updates it's quite wasteful.

Considering Hacker News is a developer heavy crowd, I'm surprised a second and third version hasn't come up. I've wanted to develop the same thing myself just to learn how to build…

I can understand if this is a personal project that you'll eventually release for free, but the day you begin accepting/taking money you need to be more responsible. In this day in…
