What a wave of nostalgia! The Telegarden was incredible! I read about it in a book about interesting places on the internet, which my dad bought for me shortly after we got our first home computer on the web, around 1996. I believe it was

Yes and I believe they do regularly use them on the Russian side, at least. They were also the cause of a fire on Mir. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir_EO-23

The shocking thing is that it's taken this long to happen, right?

Smart PR move and motivation to read more privacy policies. Looks like they only offer one plan, $99/month, which is pretty steep but must offset what other carriers make selling customer info. That's about double what I'm p

I'm generally OK with this, but the 24 hour hang time does seem a bit onerous. Most of the apps on my phone are installed from F-Droid. I guess the next time I get a new phone I'll have to wait at least 24 hours for it to become

Sweet! Looking forward to the android version. I was slightly bitter when apple yanked the website.

I hadn't read that Paul Graham article before, but it was extremely accurate at the time. My degree is in Public Relations and I worked in political PR for a bit before moving to newspapers. The PR office worked so hard to word thin

Yes! I keep a basic Casio MS-80s handy for sanity checks and a 30-year-old CFX-9850GB Plus for when things get serious.

I agree with the premise and don't want to knock someone's project. It does seem like a lot of computational effort to achieve what F9 / Reader View does in FF.

All of these items appear to have received the HN hug of death. They're all showing as unavailable for me, who just wanted to drop a friendly lime hello to a friend across town.

I'm not sure if this is a direct quote or a creatively written one but I'm afraid to find out.

Was thinking the same thing. This seems better suited for chatting with arbitrary people nearby, but with zero verification of who you're talking to. You don't have to set up an account at all, just install the app and start cha

I work in a fairly quiet cube office. The nosiest thing is all of the mechanical keyboards (gloriously clicky). The thought of people yammering to their computers in an office environment is deeply disturbing. Imagine listening to someone

Serious question - do cross-party things like this still happen? It feels like everything is done along party lines now with no room for compromise or working together.

I wonder if Google actually makes a profit on Pixels, or if the idea is to sell at / below cost and make up for it through advertising the sale of user tracking data from the device. If it's the latter, buying a pixel to run Graph

There's a lot I don't understand with this, but why pull back airplanes which had already left the gate?

This one blows my mind. Discovery was kept in as close to as-flown condition as possible to be the vehicle of record for future research. No museum on the planet is better equipped to handle things like that than the Smithsonian. Hopefully

That's the impression I get from Cloudflare - it seems like a group of highly skilled people attempting to solve real problems for the benefit of the web as a whole. As both a paid business user and a free user for home projects, I de
