Maybe it’s a prepaid annual membership and the owner forgot/died/didn’t cancel?

It’s a play on words. It helps to break it down into syllables. Each group answers one of the patient’s questions

This is one of the many comments I see on HN where I genuinely have no idea whether it’s satire or just high-level technical talk. I assume the latter, but I don’t know enough to disprove the former

If someone wants to do the hardware audit for free, or in exchange for some kind of promotional exchange, is that a bad thing? I’d breakdown a lot of devices if I could get a duplicate one intact, for free

For what it’s worth, I really really enjoy flying over places I did/will travel to. Last year, I had a backpacking trip of Yosemite valley planned I was very nervous about. I flew the route a few times (in an F-22) and it calmed me down, knowing when I’ll be climbing, when I’ll have the best views, etc. Probably not a standard use, just my $0.02

I absolutely love the landing page of careers.reef.pl/ . Maybe I'm just a noob, but I've never seen a website look like a terminal emulator before.

Physics aside, I think the FCC is very, very slowly considering removing the "no encryption" aspect of ham radio. The arguments against encryption seem to be weak, and revolve around "if we don't know what people are saying, we won't know if they're trying to use it for commercial purposes" which is just simply not true. Oh well, here's to hoping the FCC will move into this century!

"maybe nobody will know how bad all the pianos are. And then we'll all have slightly worse pianos than we would otherwise have."

But not really. Because if I truly cannot tell the difference between two objects or the way they sound, then they're the same to me, and I don't lose anything by listening to one over the other. If I could tell the difference, and it was important to me, then maybe I could do something about it.

"The pinnacle of human attention cannot be directed at everything, everywhere, all at once. We have to focus our attention on a limited subset of arts and pursuits, where discernment will always be high, and settle everywhere else."

This is exactly correct

Are you in USA? I'm seeing words like "private" and "cryptographic" in the github. What's the interaction with ham radio rules about no encryption?

I think the point they’re trying to make is that determining who is a criminal and what kind of punishment they deserve is a very difficult task that depends largely on perspective.

Yikes. Chill out

This is so interesting. I have learned more from a years’s use of chatGPT than from two decades of googling. Yeah, AI has drawbacks. But AI has never displayed an ad to me and only once displayed a cookie banner, and that’s worth quite a bit to me

Why are you roping Elon into it? Doesn’t SpaceX and other satellite broadband kind of make this map irrelevant?

It’s probably better to repurpose the energy of the kick than to push off what has been kicked up
