I work for a company whose primary product is an extension. From my experience it's quite random; sometimes an update will pass 'review' a few hours after submission (never a few minutes, but it's clearly not being revie

Yes it is, and extensions for Brave are installed through the Chrome Web Store, as are extensions for other chromium based browsers like Edge. There's no escaping the manifest v3 event horizon for extension developers.

Australia tried something similar with a carbon tax a few years ago - not for fuel, but for carbon emissions generally. The policy was very well designed and ensured that lower income earners were compensated for any increase in costs to th

Hi, I appreciated your article. Do you know when Agave was introduced to India? Perhaps a timeline may assist with determining the identity of the food, since Agaves are from central and South America and were presumably brought to India so

ICEs might be incremental, but its a long enough increment that it is having severely detrimental effects on planetary and human health, so I'm not sure if it counts. Cars, on the other hand, are not incremental - they have locked us i

You're right about the language, but the mechanism is real The evolution of gaseous defense hormones in plants is thought to actually benefit the same plant, but has a side effect of 'warning' the plant's neighbours. Bec

I'm from a different country, so I get exposure to different media sources, but from my position, this sounds very strange. The media has been absolutely complicit in enabling Trump and the far right over the past four years, so while

They may just be being blocked at the DNS level by your ISP. This is relatively easy to bypass by using one of the many other DNS services available like 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 (I'm sure everyone on HN will have opinions about which one is

Farmland is a good place to put it because rock dust is also high in phosphorous and other minerals and for that reason is often used anyway as a fertiliser, particularly in organic agriculture. Basalt is one of the types of rock that can r

It's not classic trolley problem, because there are no second order effects modeled in the trolley problem. In this case, there is a secondary effect which is that the public realises they've been lied to and loses trust in public

Although this is a great piece of public art, it's worth noting that the pollution they refer to is really only particulate matter, with some effect on nitrogen oxides. These mosses would be far less effective at scrubbing CO2 than a &

With regard to 2CB and 2CE - This might be somewhat true in some local markets, but it seems very unlikely to be widespread, at least with experienced drug users, because the dose of LSD vs the 2Cs (except for the brominated ampetamine 2C d

Mycologist here. Yes, they are different species. Your quote is partly correct in that 'magic truffles' (also known as philosopher's stones) are not real truffles. They are in fact sclerotia, a hardened 'resting stage&#x
