I searched Spotify and Apple music top 100 songs and Eddie Dalton is not on either. I think the majority of users do not buy singles on iTunes anymore so this may be an easy chart to manipulate. The source mentions the name of the creator i

Bonds are considered safer because short of the US losing WWIII there is practically no way the US bonds would not pay out or lose value. US Bonds are safe and predictable, backed up by the immense military and resources of the nation. Inve

Today this would most likely have the same drawbacks as the inflatable kayaks we see for sale. Saves on space (and money?) and could be good as an entry into a hobby but at any intermediate to advanced level there are better options to choo

It would be cool, especially with advances in plastics you could layer over the steel to protect it from corrosion like what they do with soda cans. For reference, a steel or aluminum SCUBA tank is usually filled to 3000psi and when I fill

A member of my family was applying for jobs about 9 years ago and they had very little adult work experience but needed the income and health insurance. One of the first "employers" who gave them an interview was extremely kind an

Different people have different incentive structures. Owning or having access to private property is highly appealing. Its more economical and convenient to buy than rent for some things, and until prices and transactional friction decrease

I am curious what your background or specialization is, but I can confirm the skills you learn from Linux, backups, and networking will be applicable now and in the future. The only thing they can do is help make you a better engineer.

I liked the new add to playlist feature, at least on my iphone. I press it once to like the song and double press it to add to a playlist using a checkbox on a menu, and I can choose to take the song out of my liked playlist on that menu. T

This is interesting, does anyone know why eels were chosen as a form of currency for paying rent? It would be easier to sell at the market and use the money to pay any rent/debts owed.

They look like they would improve traction while moving, but when braking I could see the chains slipping out from under the tires letting the vehicle slide. Not fun on icy roads. Seems like a great solution for light snow/mild ice but

Its fun to see my favorite hobby show up on HN once in a while, I went through the trouble a long time ago to become a Divemaster while helping teach a lot of these concepts in classrooms. I have around 800+ dives. Scuba diving is like ente

I know some commercial fishermen in California and noticed they like to post on social media while at sea. I asked and it turns out they for the most part can get LTE coverage a good distance offshore, to the point that while dragging nets

I am very excited for the results of the urchin culling experiment Fish and Wildlife has allowed in Monterey. There is debate in the scientific community if allowing the public to kill urchins will hurt or help the cause. Many divers in the

Counterculture will never die, it always adapts. While it is hard to find there are aspects of counterculture ideas on mainstream platforms like Instagram but they are obstructed. How do you define counterculture? It is outside the mainstre
