This is a joke, right? Warm water occupies more volume than cold water. Also, ice that is on LAND and running off into the OCEAN will raise sea level. Also water from melting ice caps that evaporates goes back into the ocean and refreezing

D3 can use GPU shaders and is far more flexible. This is ok for canned vis, not for custom data vis. Like Vega vs D3. D3 wins every time.

I can't go inside Whole foods after this. Same reason I won't answer an Amazon recruiter's email. It's disturbing to think of the race to the bottom (in terms of worker compensation and benefits) that Amazon brings to in

So you're telling me that if I state a fact but don't back it up then I get down-voted? On so many occasions I've stated facts without explanation that got up-voted. So what I'm trying to say is: the idiocy of crowds.

A lot of them are business accounts, bots and fake or throwaway. I have 3. How can anyone be sure that each account is a person. It says a lot about general IQ on HN that I got 4 downvotes for suggesting that Facebook has less users (real o

China has more people than Facebook has users.

I understand that, but suggesting it as a tool for prototyping and easily sharing apps with others (which was the concern I was responding to) does not warrant multiple down votes, unless the readers here are absolute assholes?

Use Expo.io ... if you're building in React Native, Expo is the easiest way to distribute apps (even on the Web with Snack)

So essentially the HN commenting UX is one of walking on egg shells.

Down voted for asking a question? The system is definitely broke in such instances.

I meant it that I have learned to avoid using the relative size factor sizing (with flex-grow, flex-basis and flex-shrink) which is the default sizing model of Flexbox and have been using percentage baed sizing instead.

My experience with Flexbox is that it's a struggle to use it on its own for responsive behavior but is much easier when combined with percentage-based width, height and margins. See this as an example: https://github.com&#x2

I believe UBI would lead to changing the fundamental nature of money as it goes from scarcity based to rate-of-flow based in its value basis. It will work as long as people who receive UBI spend that money, as opposed to horde it. That mens

I switched to Observer Only mode on Facebook after Trump got elected because I did not want to be stopped and e-frisked at airports. It turned out that that was the best way to use Facebook: stay on top of happenings with your friends and r

Renewable energy is not an asset. It's energy. It's the basis of all life. It is infinitely abundant (until our Sun dies and the winds stop blowing) Unlike currency, energy has an intrinsic value as a unit of work (the 'joule

using something that is practically infinitely abundant (renewable energy) to create an artificially scarce medium of exchange is illogical to say the least... why not use renewable energy itself as the self-valued currency?
