My dad has the opposite problem: he wants his German Wikipedia page deleted, but he's considered too relevant.

He worked as a film director decades ago and won prestigious awards. Today he works as a janitor, living out of the public eye and largely forgotten by it.

The page is like an echo from the past and includes private information he shared in an interview years ago. Still, he's deemed too relevant for it to be deleted.

I am in awe about how wonderfully engineered by evolution the body is. E.g., what we are able to do with it and how it heals itself when we have an injury. Sure, many people would not live long without external intervention, but many others would. I still want to see the robot that can survive 80 active years without maintenance.

I would not because it’s evil.

I mean, that's definitely going away if all other employers also move to five-day workweeks, so it seems like you shouldn't factor that in as one of the benefits of this schedule.

1920 probably

That’s just a conspiracy theory. You overestimate Germanys power in the EU by far, it is not 2009 anymore.

Also, German car manufacturers will not profit from these tariffs.

VW is against import tariffs on Chinese cars as they fear repercussions (and China is an important export market to them). There are other car manufacturers in the EU which depend much more on domestic sales.

I think it’s important to point out that German car manufacturers and the German government opposed import tariffs on Chinese cars.

From the Ideas Page:

> The model has 4 (2²) possible symbols and 8 (2³) possible states, so in total 32 possible symbol-state combinations. Each instruction has 7 bits (3 for the state, 2 for the symbol, 1 for moving left/right and 1 for stopping)

And the tape is unlimited of course ;)

Social science is science.

For me it’s the same. The moment I accept that I’ll be super tired the next day is the moment I finally fall asleep.

Is it just me or does someone else finds it curious that a post with 414 points in 2 hours and many comments is on page 2? There are posts with less points, and less comments in more time that are on the first page. Is the HN ranking algorithm public?

Cool thing!

But: The demo is not usable for me on my mobile device, the keyboard is missing a tab key.
