Hi HN - I'm looking for suggestions that will allow me to video conference with aging parents as easily and naturally as possible. Ideal solution would have little configuration, e…

In addition to a touching personal tribute, this article also illustrates the jobs crisis for PhD graduates. Someone who started his career in the 1950s works into his eighties, te…

While this is an important trend, GDP is not the same as wealth. You could have the same reported trends with a static, declining or GDP.

This article has very little that hasn't been said many times before, for example in The Atlantic back in Dec: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/12/chatg...

Sorry, it's google's Captcha3 library (it thought you might be a robot). If you have time to try again, I'd be grateful for feedback!

This was a personal project for the month of January and now something I'm using regularly. Hope it might be of use to others too, and would love constructive feedback.

I think others have given good recommendations, but will add the Atlantic and New Yorker. Also agree that a problem with The Economist is that it is always overtly pushing a partic…

I believe it's not actually contrails specifically but rather the effects of releasing exhaust (CO2) at a high altitude (which would happen whether the contrails form or not).

Your comment is factully incorrect. The article cites three studies, only one of which (Gao et al) is based in a Chinese institution. The other two have lead authors at University …

Education is completely the same: compare teachers to principals or education professors (and within universities, assistant to full professors)

That's not the law in the UK. A throttle electric bike is still an electric bike, as long as it has pedals that can propel it: https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules

In the UK, international fees are deducted from the standard fellowship. While already low, it then becomes a poverty wage. This practice should really be banned, if funding someon…

Looks great if you live in a world of cast concrete and tiles. I would need some convincing that it could handle the dips/cracks/bumps in UK pavements (sidewalks). The video mentio…

Would you propose a national price cap on transaction charges? It would be hard to justify intervening in this way, given that there is plenty of competition and rates are not very…

It's a bit of a stretch to equate Paypal with "all American transactions." There are of course Visa/Mastercard (variable but about 2%), debit cards, Venmo, and older bank transfer …
