bestnameever··on Light exposure during sleep impairs cardiometabolic function
Hue smart lights simulated sunrise was a game changer for me.
bestnameever··on How CNN's Jeff Zucker and His Cronies Manipulated the News
> Russians under every bed paranoia

I always wonder how much that is a result of Trumps non-stop tweeting about it

> Over half of Democrats believe Russians hacked vote tallies and compromised voting machines in 2016

source?

bestnameever··on What happened to Russias Air Force? U.S. officials, experts stumped
I don't think it is just about shock and awe. It's about controlling the airspace. Controlling the airspace has advantages during conflict outside of bombing.
bestnameever··on Show HN: Add a “1” to your Hacker News URL to get fancy social previews
for now. I'm pretty sure they will want to protect their trademark.
bestnameever··on Tell HN: A Conversation Needs to Be Had over Subscription Software
> We don't want "super cheap products", we want reasonably priced products we own after we buy.

I'd fully expect someone to provide this if there is a market for it.

bestnameever··on Train burglaries in LA
I live in California and people admit all the time how bad it has gotten.
bestnameever··on You block ads in your browser, why not in your city?
The gas station tv has never bothered me but I'm also able to tune it out completely. As I think about it, I struggle to even know which gas stations use it around me.
bestnameever··on YouTube deleting comments who criticize their hiding of the dislike count
I wouldn't be surprised if auto-delete stops if OP deletes the offending video.
bestnameever··on BMW removing touchscreen from a bunch of models due to chip shortage
That depends, what do you define as regularly?
bestnameever··on Google 'colluded' with Facebook to bypass Apple privacy
Open television can contain a lot than just news. Where I live, it has sports, scripted television shows, movies and more.
bestnameever··on Google CEO allegedly sought to keep Incognito mode issues out of spotlight
Incognito mode has always been to me just a way to prevent the local client from maintaining my history but I also recall that was the way it was marketed when it first came out. Tracking wasn't really on my mind at that point.

I wonder if some differences in perspectives are the result of when you first became familiar with the feature.

bestnameever··on Adam Smith and Inequality (2014)
Who is the ruling class of "elites"?
bestnameever··on Why Affluent Parents Put So Much Pressure on Their Kids
I wouldn't say it is a sign that is a rising. It makes sense to me that a parent would want to encourage and instill the same behaviors in their children that they used to reach success.
bestnameever··on What’s Missing in the Electric-Vehicle Revolution: Enough Places to Plug In
I would think keeping cost down would be one reason to only have one charging port. Especially in these early stages.
bestnameever··on Electricity over $900/MWh in most of Western US now
> 15 minute and real-time prices are an order of magnitude lower, despite the sun being down and electric heaters presumably consuming a lot of electricity.

Not everywhere. I'm seeing prices exceeding $900 when I select real-time. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong but take a look at so cal.

bestnameever··on I exploited existing YouTube videos with a fake Patreon profile
Didn't he also use images from the youtube channel to make the patreon account look like it belonged to the youtube user?
bestnameever··on What happens when the NYT and New Yorker make mistakes
Sounds like an opinion piece.
bestnameever··on I swapped my iPhone for an Apple Watch to live in an audio-first future
I don't think Google assistant on the iPhone will be anywhere close to as good as it on Android for the type of usage your looking for.

Having said that, I wouldn't give up on Siri - she has improved quite a bit from just last year in terms of answering questions. I'd be surprised if they aren't exploring ways to control your phone as well.

bestnameever··on I swapped my iPhone for an Apple Watch to live in an audio-first future
I don't have cellular enabled currently on my watch but I remember it connecting to cellular very quickly.

> If there's a way to control apps, navigate options, perform useful dictation, I haven't found it. I can barely get Siri to reliably start and stop audio playback.

google assistant is getting close

bestnameever··on Tesla's Profits Are Not from Selling Cars
> The 'Tesla can not make money without credits' storyline will hold up maybe a 1-2 more quarters.

I don't think that is what the article is trying to say. I think what the article is trying to say is that with the valuation is so high, Tesla doing well might not equate to increased gains in the share price.

They print at the bottom also says that fool.com both owns and recommends tesla stock.

bestnameever··on Tesla's Profits Are Not from Selling Cars
Well, if they are turning a profit it, wouldn't it also mean they could be investing more than they are?
bestnameever··on My 90s TV: Browse 90s Television
I've always thought something shifted after 9/11.
bestnameever··on I wasted $40k on a fantastic startup idea
I think he could had licensed this tool to another site. Maybe even webmd would want it.
bestnameever··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
> The mainstream media was complicit in arguing for the Iraq War

So was conservative media - why single out only the mainstream media?

bestnameever··on California reports 585 coronavirus deaths, new single-day record in state
Also a safe bet that that without Covid, many of those people would be alive today.
bestnameever··on Uber will charge significantly more per trip as new Seattle law goes into effect
> and that they may not owe nearly as much in taxes if so.

I imagine many independent contractors would be paid less if they were employees.

How does closing a border cause super spreader events?
bestnameever··on She Couldn’t Open for Outdoor Dining. The Film Crew Next Door Could
It is not fair and this is a reminder that life is not fair.

We can't forget that outdoor dining was just shutdown again and Hollywood has been taking these precautions for months now.

Telling restaurants they need to start testing every individual walking into their place of business really just does not seem feasible in immediate short-term given the current situation, unfortunately.

bestnameever··on She Couldn’t Open for Outdoor Dining. The Film Crew Next Door Could
The tables may be the same distance apart but is the seating? In the video I can only see one chair per table. It is also possible they don't allow people to sit at adjacent tables. I'm not saying this is the case, I'm just pointing out that a picture may not tell the entire story.
