But… what does it do?! I’m all about holding Amazon to the same standards, but what precisely does this accomplish? The subcontracting delivery companies already have to follow the…

And in the winter in the North people are just supposed to freeze?

Or she grabs his head to kiss him, but immediately somehow her hands are by her side.

Wow. My comment is auto-collapsed. I'm not aware of this phenomenon on HN. Is it a moderation thing? It hasn't been downvoted. I don't think I've been shadow-banned or had this com…

can you point me to any research?

Which is completely the opposite—running Apple software on non-Apple hardware—so they make no money whatsoever off such users.

More renewables means the need for more base load? This is the first I’ve seen anybody say that.

I found the shift in what foods companies are making to be the most interesting part of the article. Adding protein to foods, but somehow decreasing meat consumption. Seems odd.
