Is there any historical basis for how the traffic to cut is selected? Future flights? Existing flights? Short domestic flights vs international flights? It’s also unclear what the …

Very true - there’s a famous scene from the movie Pi that talks about exactly this (and puts it very eloquently) https://youtu.be/OGKPmBtBpBo

Wow! I didn’t realize the scope and duration of this outage. This must be doing some serious damage to some of their clients (catastrophic if this does impact JIRA, Confluence, and…

What is with some of the responses in this thread! I understand some cases are not so clear, but if you do something as blatant as punch a flight attendant in the face I think that…

I had a very similar experience as a child. I always wondered how other drivers could tell which way we were turning. My parents told me that they can tell from your turn signal. 6…

It has since been completed it seems: https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/01/24/orbital-insertion-bur...

Not sure why the downvotes. Perhaps it’s due to referring to Fear and Loathing as a movie instead of the book it’s based on. The movie is actually a good representation of the book…

This is one of the few genuinely great ideas I’ve heard lately. I’m honestly surprised some of these games have implemented this functionality themselves - it’d probably help reduc…

On top of that their deeplinking doesn’t even work. It’s completely broken. It takes me to the App Store when I already have the app installed and it’s literally impossible to go f…

About 9 hours ago when I first saw this I noticed the same thing on bing images (no tank man). Now I see tank man when I search it on bing images....

I use to have many ant problems - and certainly not due to any lack of cleanliness. It pretty much all went away once I got a cat. At first I thought it was coincidence, but over t…

I’m extremely skeptical of all cryptocurrencies and most usages of blockchain. However this seems like the first interesting and potentially practical application I’ve heard. It de…

This top level comment chain explaining quantum teleportation was great and insightful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25466836

Every single hacker news thread about the Cyberpunk fiasco has had a ton of top comments about they haven’t had any issues with the game. Performance/bugs aside, what about the com…

Thank you, Dang! The Hacker News community is my favorite thing on the internet - and a good chunk of its success is due to your hard work!

Sounds like a corporate version of Psycho-Pass (a dystopian society where everyone constantly has their emotional well-being monitored and corrected by the state) https://en.m.wiki…

Your words almost exactly echo Marilyn Manson’s commentary on the columbine shootings. Interesting parallel. He was asked what he would say to the shooters and he said “I wouldn’t …

I think many people aren't taking into account the visibility of Trump's twitter. Trump making violence-glorifying or factually incorrect or medically dangerous tweets is far diffe…

Note that this is separate from his tweet that was discussed earlier (and arguably more noteworthy given that it happened during Tesla’s earnings call today)

“Levels Jerry... Levels”

The press release states that doctors have seen that patients on ventilators have higher death rates. But wouldn’t we expect that? If the situation is dire enough to put someone on…

I just recently learned about the Cabinet Noir [1]. This reminds me of it [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_noir
