The cynic in me believes that this only took place after numerous meetings during which the question "is there any way we can still make money from this" was repeatedly answered with "no".

Interesting. In the past few years, I heard about how expanding the US Supreme Court was a reasonable approach to take. I wonder if proponents were aware of this case in Venezuela.

Funny how they seem to rack up most of these high-profile accomplishments in election years....

Exactly this. Regardless of the winners of said election, expect a return to business as usual afterward.

That we know of.

No. But certainly one of the best science fiction series in the last 25 years.

I switched to Joplin a couple of years back and don't regret the move. Was able to import all my Evernote stuff as well, which was one deciding factor.

That's an unnecessary large brush. There are 300 million of us. Are we all the same?

"...we should probably do something, but in terms of priority which everyone here should understand, it's lower on the list" Spoiler alert: nothing on the list will get addressed. Business as usual for DC.

Go read up on the Soviet Almaz station from the 1970s, and reconcile that with the Space Force from the 2020s.

Go read up on the Almaz. The Soviets mounted a 23mm cannon on one of their early stations. Long before the Space Force.

And that is, of course, to put kittens to sleep. (I joke, your point is well taken)

It's always worse in (US) election years, and I think it's inevitable for all online discussion sites. When people conflate their identity with their political beliefs, everything becomes political. That said, HN has historic

Gnomes , if you're on a budget. But elves ? That's just nonsense.

The important takeaway from the article: "Please never use this in any production code. The less we have to think about a piece of code, the better it is. It's a fun thought experiment nevertheless!"

"...or whatever dictator follows him." This phrase saddens me, but it seems the most likely outcome. When the power brokers in Moscow acknowledge that Putin has become a liability, they'll replace him so they can return to

I can understand the concern of other posters about going to DST as opposed to standard time... but at this point, I just want the switching to end. It is such an unnecessary disruption and fixing it seems so trivial.

And millions of Americans will gleefully comply, "because of the convenience".

Wait, how is anybody using technical documentation to support their position a bad thing? As opposed, say, to simply faith ? Doesn't this mean that such positions can be more readily confirmed or rejected, based upon the validity o

A 40-hour workweek doesn't bother me. Shitty healthcare and the rising cost of everything , does.

I was disappointed that Joplin ( https://joplinapp.org/ ) wasn't included in the app list. Having used both Evernote and OneNote, I've found Joplin to be a better choice, especially when I'm bouncing between pl

The real head-scratcher is how, up until now, paying $16,000 a year to a cosplayer was considered a responsible use of taxpayer funds.

You're not the only one. I have absolutely no proof to counter taking everything at face value. But my gut tells me that there's something not quite right with this whole thing, and I find it unsettling. I'm not willing

We homeschooled our two kids through their middle-school years, after it was clear that the supposedly superior charter middle school in the district was failing. We found local homeschooling groups and it turned out that the kids ended up

In the United States, people were denied services and jobs for being not visibly anti-communist enough. In the early 1970s? I'd like to see some citations of that.
