I searched Spotify and Apple music top 100 songs and Eddie Dalton is not on either. I think the majority of users do not buy singles on iTunes anymore so this may be an easy chart to manipulate. The source mentions the name of the creator in the second line leading me to believe this is some clever advertising for Dallas Little's AI.

This and the clickbait headlines are why I refuse to click on sfgate links now.

Bonds are considered safer because short of the US losing WWIII there is practically no way the US bonds would not pay out or lose value. US Bonds are safe and predictable, backed up by the immense military and resources of the nation.

Investing in Apple 30 years ago would net a much higher return on $5k but even Apple was considered a unsafe investment in the 90s. On the other hand, Enron was considered a safe investment by many but went bankrupt almost overnight and shares became practically worthless.

Today this would most likely have the same drawbacks as the inflatable kayaks we see for sale. Saves on space (and money?) and could be good as an entry into a hobby but at any intermediate to advanced level there are better options to choose from. With the high barrier to entry to flying I think most pilots would opt for the most reliable option from the start.

I would not want to be caught in inclement weather in an inflatable anything.

It would be cool, especially with advances in plastics you could layer over the steel to protect it from corrosion like what they do with soda cans.

For reference, a steel or aluminum SCUBA tank is usually filled to 3000psi and when I fill steel tanks I can hear and sometimes see the metal start to slightly balloon. This is normal because steel is not brittle but it is very strong.

There is a lot of rules put in place for safety though. A tank has to be visually checked by a professional every year and hydro statically tested every 5. The danger is any rust/corrosion weakening the metal and causing it to rupture. More often seen in aluminum tanks, which is one reason I prefer steel.

A member of my family was applying for jobs about 9 years ago and they had very little adult work experience but needed the income and health insurance.

One of the first "employers" who gave them an interview was extremely kind and willing to pay a decent salary for her to work as a secretary, said she got the job and had her file paperwork including her SSN, full name, current and past addresses, bank information, etc.

Later she had a call from the bank about some suspicious activity, cards were activated, and a pair of expensive shoes was bought under her name. She was not the only one in the waiting room for "interviews" that day and I am sure they stole the identity of plenty of them who were just down on their luck looking for work.

The identity information is still out there in the hands of these crooks. Always vet potential employers.

>Yet across America, millions of dining rooms sit empty for months at a spread, screaming to be made into something that more accurately reflects the lifestyles of their owners.

Every day, my money sits in my bank account screaming to be spent on something intangible...

Different people have different incentive structures. Owning or having access to private property is highly appealing. Its more economical and convenient to buy than rent for some things, and until prices and transactional friction decrease this will not change.

I am curious what your background or specialization is, but I can confirm the skills you learn from Linux, backups, and networking will be applicable now and in the future. The only thing they can do is help make you a better engineer.

I liked the new add to playlist feature, at least on my iphone. I press it once to like the song and double press it to add to a playlist using a checkbox on a menu, and I can choose to take the song out of my liked playlist on that menu. This eliminated a few clicks and is easier while driving. Intuitive and easy to use once I recognized what they did.

This is interesting, does anyone know why eels were chosen as a form of currency for paying rent? It would be easier to sell at the market and use the money to pay any rent/debts owed.

They look like they would improve traction while moving, but when braking I could see the chains slipping out from under the tires letting the vehicle slide. Not fun on icy roads.

Seems like a great solution for light snow/mild ice but I would not want to trust my life to these in harsh conditions.

Its fun to see my favorite hobby show up on HN once in a while, I went through the trouble a long time ago to become a Divemaster while helping teach a lot of these concepts in classrooms. I have around 800+ dives. Scuba diving is like entering a alien world and I wish I still had the availability to go as often as I did when studying for my current job.

I still work as an underwater guide on the weekends sometimes, I love taking people out for the first time but I also value the time I spent in the ocean more than ever.

I know a lot of people here live in or frequent the CA Bay Area, if you are interested I cannot encourage you enough to take a SCUBA class and get certified so you can dive in Monterey, CA. It had a massively positive influence on my life and I made many friends and memories through it.

I know some commercial fishermen in California and noticed they like to post on social media while at sea. I asked and it turns out they for the most part can get LTE coverage a good distance offshore, to the point that while dragging nets in water 10,000 ft deep they still can use their phone. The cell signals travel much further over water compared to over land.

I will ask one of them for an idea of how far they get when they lose coverage and edit when I hear back. He is on the boat now.

I hope you did this on purpose....
