    I wouldn't regard those downvotes as valid. There is a large and vocal group on this thread with no apparent regard for HN's culture. They appear to be from "out of town".

    As I explained, most of the research indicating positive results is old (meaning before the 70's). Though there were some in the 90's (eg, William Rea et al. https://eloverkanslig.…

    In principle it leaks information, so is always worse practice than not leaking. For example, one could imagine an edge-case where given a set of average-colour password images col…

    I can well understand this being true. Without discounting it, I've also had roughly equivalent, but opposite experiences, with flight mode and sleep.

    Yes, I would generally agree. But I think it's fine, and justified to investigate the (many) claims of EMF sensitivity. People having a seizure because they walked past someone eat…

    "Maybe we shouldn't want" is a strange statement. It simultaneously appears to acknowledge widespread desire for something, along with an apparent minority view that wanting that t…
