Reddit is broken. You have places that are kinda nice. They are few and far between and short lived. Either you have less than 500 subscribers and nothing happens ever. Or you have…

If you could do this to pdf, I might be willing to pay little for it.

It's not a bug, its a feature.

"I know what your thinking: a motorcycle that can't be tipped? How is that..." fun? Motorcycles are fun, is this?

"many countries have joined a treaty banning landmines" The ones that should join that treaty have not. My country should not have joined. I'm from Finland. All that treaty ever di…

How do you track where it has been? Does it matter if you blow some mines, if you don't make a single square feet of guarantee mine-free soil?

In Helsinki they have human accessible tunnels because the whole city is on bedrock and there is not much soil above it. It's just way too hard to make tunnels to rock so small tha…

It doesn't matter much. Clean water tunnels have high pressure and good walls to keep anything out. Just plain soil getting into clean water tunnel can make loads of people really …

Pines too often have a big and strong main root. It's for collecting water from deep layers. It can be all-most as thick as the tree itself.

And you would get..? Nothing? So instead of forest and some energy you get just nothing.

Norwegian hydroelectric plants usually don't destroy a ecosystem, just some nice looking waterfall. They have so long and steep falls that ecosystem would be naturally separated by…

"Drawing conclusions about manufacturers based on pricing is dangerous." I completely agree. But in my opinion, drawing conclusions about manufacturers based on reputation is as da…

It's only for Drosophilia embryo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophilia Owned by U.S. Navy, issued 1987 so it's free now.

That should not be patentable. Now it's patent infringement to make a battery of that shape. EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventive_step_and_non-obviousn...

I don't get this. I'm not here for launch stories. Showing launch stories down to HNers throats is not the purpose of HN. Startup scene is so hot now that we could do nothing but r…

I liked that point. Didn't really think about how much the article handled stuff as "girls things" and "boys things" until this comment.

I thought this too. Motorcycles are probably the most cost effective way to go from 0 - 100km/h below three seconds.

If I don't have the time to really look into things, I go with the cheapest too. - You usually have exactly the quality you paid for, so no surprises here. - It's often more ecolog…

If you just need to move from place to place Peugeot 308 will do as good as any of above. You can get four of them with the price of GTR R35, so if one 308 doesn't last as long, yo…

I'd say growing is ramming.

If you can make a good pharmacy that is 10x better than any other in town, you probably can grow to other towns. But what makes you 10x better? Some good procedure that is copyable…

I didn't really pick up the causation behind this. The article fails to explain any function of small companies to the economy at large. I'd guess it goes other way round. If econo…

"Incest 'relationships' in the real world are mostly coercive, abusive relationships." How do you know? Headlines tell this? If most incest is abusive, then why we ban that non abu…

"Finally, by linking homosexuality and incest, the poster tries to create a link between homosexuality which is now acceptable by most people to incest which is universally unaccep…

I'd like to see an airline company where greed and incompetence of the operators are actually considered failure modes and designed for.
