I'm curious if people with aphantasia would also be able to create a "mind map" of the area around them

I purchased the Surface Laptop with the Snapdragon Elite and 64GB ram. The performance seems pretty decent, even while using Visual Studio on it and a few accompanying apps/tools. …

Sounds like these protestors should never go on vacation anywhere else either. Stay in your home city your entire life.

I don't quite understand the idea or fascination behind the Dyson spheres. Isn't it much more complex to acquire the materials, build, and maintain the structure than to simply bui…

Neither sugar nor caffeine has the same effects as drugs like alcohol and marijuana. It's pretty asinine to classify them as even being in the same category.

Yeah, no. We're already in a drug crisis as it is. We need to teach people that doing drugs (of any kind) isn't the answer to problems. Soft times seems to have created this proble…

Hard to judge the DEAs effectiveness off something like this. You have very little insight on their actual effectiveness and workings on everything, yet your comment seems to summa…

What we need is less drugs, and more fixing the issues on what causes people to turn to drugs.

The issue is the prolonged constant daily use of it. Unlike alcohol, it's much easier to get by in the day with weed, and a lot of people do use it as that. It offers them an escap…

Honestly, we should look to fix the issues that lead to people depending on weed, alcohol, and other drugs instead. These drugs are escapes for people - and a lot of them, especial…

This seems to be the issue - we're trying to study COVID, which affected literally the whole population of earth at this point, and we have no control group of people who have not …

> There are studies that have been done comparing people who had COVID-19, versus people who didn't, and then gave them cognitive testing to measure their ability to cognitively pr…

While it sounds like there are problems, and they should be investigated, taking the word of a one (or even a few) whistleblower on something like this should be taken with skeptic…

Speak for your self. Others want it.

I think they may be referring to WPF, it promised so much, and it was great - then it was just left to die, and Microsoft moved on to MAUI

I am curious how other HN members go about finding their significant others. I have little time these days, but I want to make the best of it trying to find someone, but social dat…

Huh? This FCC document clearly states exactly what it's banning: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-389524A1.pdf https://www.fcc.gov/supplychain/coveredlist "Telecommunica…

You know you can take unpaid vacations, right?

So, our concept of distance is nothing more than the interaction of particles between each other? edit: Through their respective field - I'm guessing, and does each force have its …

The addiction isnt to the smartphone, but to social media applications. It's the constant pumping of information and misinformation, as well as a false sense of reality. Teens (and…

This website does a very poor job at describing what it is, what it does, how it does it, etc. Even after googling, there isn't much information about the full extend of what chang…

Sounds a lot like the "Mrs Davis" TV Show. Anyhow, this is not a good idea. We are having issues with their scores and performance declining. We have to find the root cause, not tr…

This is about as secure as loading a text file that says "licensed=true". Anyone can easily proxy the server DNS call, put up their own server, etc. A client app connecting to a pu…

Sadly, for programming, I've had to use Google quite a few times lately. Their raise feature is nice, but always finding stack overflow (because I raised it) on top of ACTUAL docum…

With 1k-2k searches a month, $10 seemed reasonable. However, $25 does not - it's far too much of a price increase. Most people here can already get same quality results from google…
