The site also fails to track on mobile Safari with ”Prevent Cross-Site Tracking” turned on.

Fascinating. That’s a lot like Passive Coherent Location (PCL), if normal echolocation is like radar.

English has the exact same problems as you’re mentioning, and an explanation using the English words would be much more relatable to readers of HN.

I might have agreed with you if Apple was a good gardener. That would involve weeding out the scams in the app store, giving developers feedback on radars, and being more communica…

The placement of punctuation is the reason I believe Dvorak is better than most other optimized layouts. They may be optimal for their metrics, but their metrics are bad. I have be…

It is appreciated, but we all have to choose our battles.

From the article the difference doesn’t seem that huge: Stockholm - 0.8 unicorns per 100,000 Silicon Valley - 1.4 unicorns per 100,000

I think I'm almost as uninformed as you, but I believe it comes down to the difference between perfect solutions and close enough solutions. Consider the classic NP problem of the …

I believe the other commenter is referring to a distortion of mental perspective, not geometry, and honestly I’m buying it. It’s so strange to look at a globe upside down, even tho…

So let’s say I’ve got step 2. figured out with vacuum decay or similar, how do I check if the list is sorted in O(1) to determine if I destroy the universe or not? And given that t…

Those are not my words, they're all from my professor and this [1] book, chapter 23. With remote control and immediate feedback I'm talking about closed loop control. Consider indu…

Keep in mind you can increase the energy per bit by increasing symbol duration. I had a problem like this on my wireless systems exam recently, where the setup was two Arecibo styl…

5G is not mainly for consumers like you and me. We are not willing to pay significantly more for the faster speeds, most people are plenty happy with 4G. The big difference with th…

After the field of straw men and bad made up definitions the author does actually arrive at something resembling that conclusion. > There is no single thing named "electricity." We…

I took note of that part too, it reminds me of this article [1] posted on HN recently. It contrasts the fleeting and context dependent flows of posts on social media ("the stream")…

> All this to say, the test is simple and pretty quick. Just to curb peoples expectations a bit, I started the process of getting diagnosed about two years ago, got the diagnosis l…

Two simultaneous out of phase sound waves do cancel each other out, there's not some 'silent sound pressure' left.
