    I haven't tested as sufficiently as the OP, but I discovered firsthand that the Everdrive GB x7 consumes more power than a standard cart. If I had to guess, I'd guess almost as muc…

    Ask HN: How should I charge for a side project?

    When I Bing Jeff Bezo's net worth, it gives me $155 Billion. I don't know what number should be used to say "this amount will fundamentally change someone's life", but I'm going to…

    How can we get something like this pushed further along, assuming you're not a scientist working on it directly? With heart failure the number one killer in the United States, I'd …

    One thing I'd be interested to learn is, how much of what makes the difference between an above average chess player and a Master or a Grandmaster can be tied to better decision ma…

    I like that standard. You think, "Would I care if someone revealed personal info and wrote about one of my parents?" The answer is probably yes. "Would I care if someone wrote some…

    Okay, I didn't want to say it, but I personally think snopes is biased. I'm going to use a few made-up examples because I don't want take the time to hunt down real examples, but I…

    I think this has huge potential for abuse. Let's say politifact or snopes or both happen to be biased. Let's say they both lean left or both lean right. Now an entire side of the a…

    One example I can think of off the top of my head would be automotive repair. If I can afford to let someone else do it, I will. That's not to say I don't think I could learn it if…
