Reddit is broken. You have places that are kinda nice. They are few and far between and short lived. Either you have less than 500 subscribers and nothing happens ever. Or you have 20000+ subscribers and the herd mentality takes over. I thi

If you could do this to pdf, I might be willing to pay little for it.

"many countries have joined a treaty banning landmines" The ones that should join that treaty have not. My country should not have joined. I'm from Finland. All that treaty ever did was to get rid of foot mines that we're designed to be pla

How do you track where it has been? Does it matter if you blow some mines, if you don't make a single square feet of guarantee mine-free soil?

In Helsinki they have human accessible tunnels because the whole city is on bedrock and there is not much soil above it. It's just way too hard to make tunnels to rock so small that people can't go there, so they're forced to be more access

It doesn't matter much. Clean water tunnels have high pressure and good walls to keep anything out. Just plain soil getting into clean water tunnel can make loads of people really sick. If there is a clean water leak, they know it from pres

Pines too often have a big and strong main root. It's for collecting water from deep layers. It can be all-most as thick as the tree itself.

Norwegian hydroelectric plants usually don't destroy a ecosystem, just some nice looking waterfall. They have so long and steep falls that ecosystem would be naturally separated by it anyway.

"Drawing conclusions about manufacturers based on pricing is dangerous." I completely agree. But in my opinion, drawing conclusions about manufacturers based on reputation is as dangerous. And it takes time to get that reputation info. Time

That should not be patentable. Now it's patent infringement to make a battery of that shape. EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventive_step_and_non-obviousn...

I don't get this. I'm not here for launch stories. Showing launch stories down to HNers throats is not the purpose of HN. Startup scene is so hot now that we could do nothing but read those "yay, I'm a CEO!". I'm here if you do something in

I liked that point. Didn't really think about how much the article handled stuff as "girls things" and "boys things" until this comment.

I thought this too. Motorcycles are probably the most cost effective way to go from 0 - 100km/h below three seconds.

If I don't have the time to really look into things, I go with the cheapest too. - You usually have exactly the quality you paid for, so no surprises here. - It's often more ecological. If factory A can produce more stuff with same money th

If you just need to move from place to place Peugeot 308 will do as good as any of above. You can get four of them with the price of GTR R35, so if one 308 doesn't last as long, you can get three more with the same price and every time with

If you can make a good pharmacy that is 10x better than any other in town, you probably can grow to other towns. But what makes you 10x better? Some good procedure that is copyable, or your personal management skills? It it's procedure, the

I didn't really pick up the causation behind this. The article fails to explain any function of small companies to the economy at large. I'd guess it goes other way round. If economy is unstable/unfair, only the small survive. Big companies

"Incest 'relationships' in the real world are mostly coercive, abusive relationships." How do you know? Headlines tell this? If most incest is abusive, then why we ban that non abusive incest? With the same logic you should ban all narcotic

I've been repairing bridges. And I've studied them to some extent. The magical tendency of nature such that nothing man built will lats forever. Every bridge will collapse, every dam will fall, every house, windmill and electric line. Heck

"10 000 years in the future" is propaganda to some extent. There are two types of radioactive material: A, stuff that radiates very little but lasts very long. And B, stuff that radiates very much, but lasts only some months. If you are con

Pride is not the opposite of humility, arrogance is. Otherwise they would not be calling it "gay pride". Pride is actually a good thing in many situations. It's good when father is proud of his children and almost always when someone has pr
