Does anyone here have any experience in getting photos off of old RAZRs? I have a similar phone that (I believe) uses the same firmware. It looks like the software to do so (Motoro…

Did you miss the indictment of the DNC hackers that also detailed the DC Leaks being registered by GRU? You should catch up on that if so.

Valid criticism. I posted emotionally. I will further educate myself on actual statistics and put together better edited and sourced posts in the future rather than knee jerk rebut…

Maybe this time it is different. Maybe the massive capabilities of modern robotics and AI are more transformative than the assembly line and sewing machines. Maybe our society isn'…

To save others from panicked searching, Stewart Brand still is not a naive utopian; he has not died.

An attempt to convey a message to extraterrestrials based on mathematics and physics. Regardless of one's opinions on the probability of intelligent extraterrestrial life, it's int…

"Sarcastic" would probably be the best fit. Good point also.

What are the foreign policy implications of this? Every single other country's reaction that I've seen has been to beg the US to stay in the accord.

I believe flags push content from the front page. I went to check Lists > Active to see if there was an HN thread on this, because I expect politics to get flagged off the front pa…

Giuliani literally said on Fox News. Watch the actual video, don't just complain about media bias. The evidence is right there in the linked article. “I'll tell you the whole histo…

Honestly, even as a former Bernie supporter, I don't know if political analysis that indicated it can still be called reliable. I've heard his team produced data showing Bernie wou…

What lessons would you like to include on such a site? Off the top of my head, my favorite things about Hacker News: high level civil discourse, lack of humor (no, seriously, humor…
