Sorry, I was replying to why we perceive the solar system as a horizontal plane.

Because as ground based bipedal animals, we move and live along a horizontal plane.

You don't think so? Is that your opinion or a fact?

Most calculations I've seen seem to conclude electric are more CO2 efficient per mile; from 2 to 9 times depending on which state is producing the power.

Just click on the clock, it will pop a window with seconds in it.

Compared to rocks, ice is not that dense. You can try yourself: it's easy to pickup a big chunk of ice, even with a shovel, while a similarly sized rock is impossible to lift.

Planes are very fragile and are not meant to be able to sustain loss of control at high speeds. Sudden disintegration does happen mid air following a loss of control.

I am always impressed at how they look like a big chunk of metal from the outside, but they are in fact mostly made out of air and very thin and light materials.

What fascinates me about human color perception is our brain actually interpret everything as a mix of the four colors you mentioned: red, green, blue and yellow; the opposites of the two color axes. It's why it seems so weird at first that yellow is a mix of green and red while our brain perceive it as a totally different color; it is a color of its own in our brain.

I didn't down vote you but my guess is: The guy has been dead for over a hundred years now. Everybody knows society was more patriarchal back then, pointing it out just sounds like virtue signaling.

I'm sorry if you got downvoted because of me. My cynism is probably the cause.

However, if you think having an argument is calling you stupid and is a personal attack then this is your own problem.

I had upvoted your comments and I liked your reply. It doesn't mean I agree with you, and it doesn't mean Im here to get you neither.

Article titles are and will always be a problem on HN. This won't change, all we can do is try to point out when there is a problem with them and then immediately complain when the mods editorialised them a little bit much.

>Computers as we know them are, in fact, dying.

My point exactly.

I was not critising click baiting, or the article. I was simply pointing out that the title was in fact misleading and exaggerating by using semantic tricks. I used the term click bait because in that particular case, the author was not trying to lie, but rather simply make their title have more impact.

Sure. Not clickbaity at all. Let's make a new article: Computers as we know them are dying.

Edit: You might want to revise your definition of misleading. Misleading doesn't mean something is factually false. It means it's true but is presented in a way to lead you into believing something else. So you can feed a narrative without lying.

The canadian penny phase out went so smooth I didn't even notice it... Until I went to the U.S. and the cashier gave me pennies. I felt somewhere between being pissed off and amused.

The problem with phasing out nickels is you have to phase out quarters first and replace them with 20c.

Until the code becomes impossible to comprehend as a result.

I don't know why you are down voted. Your comment is the very first thing that went through my mind when I read the article.

Next time, you might want to use Di-hydrogen monoxide, it's a much scarier name. Everybody knows monoxide is dangerous on anything.

Not all flight plans can lead to a recoverable rocket. GTO and polar orbits can't land back. This means there will be unrecoverable rockets from time to time.

But your question still applies to recoverable flight plans. How many do they need to cover all those?

Me neither, which is surprising. I would have expected the CIA to feed them some false flags to then discredit them from a long time ago.

From your link: "These incidents only result in damage to the vagina from the corrosive action of the chemical, since potassium permanganate was proven to be ineffective in producing abortions."

It still exists unfortunately. I say unfortunately because the multi billion company I work for is too cheap to spend a bit of money for our most important tool if a free gimped version exists.

No mention of how much time it took to compile? I don't know if my memory is faulty but I remember Turbo C++ to be much much faster than today's C++ compilers.

Does 50% chicken DNA means it's proportionally made of 50% chicken? I would be very surprised if DNA concentration was in any way proportional to actual volume or weight concentration, especially if you compare plant DNA to animal DNA.

They are charging us money to protect us from the same people they are protecting? Genius.

> It's just a way of getting a machine to identify partizan stories that are statistically likely to contain a higher proportion of lies, especially if they are from right-wing sources (Table 1).

So, anything from the right should be a lie by default? Then google or whoever can just unrank the article to oblivion, since it statistically contains "lies" according to a biased majority? Do you see how dangerous this is?

Copy-paste errors are much more common than those once in a lifetime bugs nobody care about. Or are you telling me you never ever made a copy-paste error after your first week of programming?

They are one of the most pernicious error to find because the person reading is doing the exact same mistake as the writer, seeing the first instance is correct, they assume the rest is too.

Young children need sedation so they will stay perfectly still; definitely not without risk.

My 1 yo son needs a scan every 3 months and the hospital had to figure a better way to scan him so as to avoid sedation. They finally settled on ultrasound: faster, risk free and precise enough once you know what you are looking for.

The name could be used for connection establishment, then a random port is assigned, just like the client port.

Title should have been: "Things from previous administration we agree about is not on new administration web site."

Are you telling me my car should have pulled over on the highway and potentially caused an accident when my wife used my phone last week?

Basically, what speed other people drive is not of anyone business except the police. If you are not overtaking, stay right and let them take the risk.

All you really need is FWD and snow tires. Sure AWD and extra height will save you some shoveling that one time you will park a little too far in a snow bank, but it's not worth the extra cost and weight.

The only thing you absolutely don't want in snow is RWD.
