"The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of STDs are to abstain from sexual activity, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner" Sounds very much like some Christian agenda bring push

Getting laid is important though too...

Moralizing aside, which ones specifically can infect you even if you wear a condom?

Not a bad idea actually-- alot of work though to do it accurately :/

Is it possible to buy a "disconnected" car these days? People for decades survived loads of daily driving without snooping from manufacturers call centers.

I'm not sure what you are getting at here. The lawyer's job is not to judge the quality of a patent -- in the same way a defense lawyer is not there to judge the innocence of their client. The patent lawyer is just there to file t

Good old BSD. Keeps putting out ;)

This is incredibly incorrect. If you are going to bore Hacker News with pedantry-- at least bother to look up that the "modern" era ended somewhere around 1945. So yes, it refers to a specific era in the past.

Right that's a good point.

Really? Which ones? Even if I get an e-visa, I get an in and out stamp. Not having these would invalidate the whole reason for having a passport.

Almost everything uses RTGs now if it's going to be far from the sun (like past mars).

But it's true. Life WAS like that back then.

I think a better question is why the "car accident" people are always hijacking threads to push their agenda. Like the topic is Air Traffic Control. Why are you bringing up car accidents?

Not really. I'm sure any 10 year old i5 based system would perform similarly. The point is more about how slow Intel processors still are really.

Ah yes -- the Mother Of All Demos. Impressive!

Not sure I agree. While about USB3 and even USBC it might be true, but I have a MacBook Pro 2011 (2.4Ghz Core i5), that I put a 256Gb SSD in and upgraded to 8GB of RAM. It is certainly as or more powerful than the Lenovo N5030 with 8GB of R

Fairlight is great-- DX7 though was really the sound of the 80s...

Im not sure this is much of a surprise-- as shocking as it may seem to Americans -- iMessages is not widely used outside of North America. So Apple is just trying to bridge the technology gap here. iMessages is pretty dated.

While I empathize with your situation-- be careful not to discourage others. The only two fully completed novellas were because of this month and I'm very proud of them. I'm much more annoyed I haven't been able to replicate

These are major violations of not just labour codes but also just in general ethical standards. So if Shotwell accepts to follow the pressure from Elon, they are just as complicit -- especially as COO. I'm not sure why you would defend

So even though there would be incredible benefits -- we just should not try according to this position. I mean hasn't every great engineering achievement in human history basically been about overcoming a litany of "it can't

With standardization -- how is a battery swapping network any different from a gas station network? Our entire society is based on these kinds of things. "Electricity?!" -- what if they stop producing that...then what? No, I'

I really enjoy HN because when I say like "Elon's Spacex" is doing great things-- rabid individuals come out to tell me that actually this other person is in charge and deserves the credit -- Gwynne Shotwell? But now -- when

Didn't Tumblr do a whole "alienate your user base" thing like Reddit did recently? They got rid of all the racey hot content and basically made it super boring no? This always seems like a really bad idea.

This product screams for market validation. But I wish them great luck, because I love these kinds of product experiments.

Ok? But I have 4 Macs (MacBook Pro 2011,MacBook Air 2012, Mac Mini 2012 and a MacBook Pro2017), all with SSDs and heavy usage-- absolutely no failures so far. Almost all of my previous Macs with HDDs have failed. So maybe your co-worker is

Parent used "Java 5" as an example. Java 5 somehow in my mind is from like the 200x era. But no. I practically mean any complicated back end technology that takes corporations months or years to migrate off of because its quite co
