US made Cheetos are banned in the UK due to some ingredients they contain.
dairylee··on Ask HN: Why are stories such a big trend?
And because they disappear people are more likely to check their feed more often so that they don't miss a story from someone they follow.
dairylee··on Ask HN: Why would I want 5G on my smartphone?
Are phone screens large enough to be able to distinguish between 720p/1080p/4k etc.?
dairylee··on Building Your Color Palette
Not very easy to darken/lighten colours easily using CSS variables at the moment. Support will be coming in the future.
dairylee··on Ask HN: What is your best native song that is unknown due to language barrier?
I wonder if Florence + the Machine took inspiration from Byssan lull for Jenny of Oldstones in Game of Thrones as the melody sounds almost identical.

dairylee··on The Nordic concept of friluftsliv – outdoor life
> “putting the concern of society higher than one’s own interests.”

I don't think there's any worry of that taking off in the US.

dairylee··on Say goodbye to hold music
A few days ago. Had to phone my bank to authorise my card for adding to Google Pay.
dairylee··on Ask HN: Best Recipe Search Engine?
That recipe is from BBC Food which isn't related to BBC Good Food.

> BBC Food is not related to the monthly magazine and media brand BBC Good Food, which was acquired by Immediate Media Company in 2018

dairylee··on Imperial mathematician scoops $3M Breakthrough Prize
Pretty common to hear scoop be used in this context. Maybe it's a UK thing?

"If you scoop a prize or award, you win it."

dairylee··on Show HN: Simple Gmail Screen – A Simple Chrome / FF Extension
Personally I like to use Simplify Gmail (https://simpl.fyi/) which was made by a former Gmail lead designer and Inbox founder.
dairylee··on Empty stadiums have shrunk football teams’ home advantage
I think this is interesting and something I've thought about since the return of football.

Jurgen Klopp was always trying to get the crowd engaged and pumped up because he believes it has a huge effect on how his Liverpool team play. Without the crowd they seem to be missing that extra 1% of intensity that made them incredible pre-lockdown.

Whereas Manchester City probably don't feed off the crowd as much as Liverpool do. Manchester City are all about rehearsed routines so they may even find it easier without a crowd as they'll be able to communicate much easier.

dairylee··on Ask HN: An alternative to IMDB scores, whats a better way to pick movies?
In the past I used to use Criticker (https://www.criticker.com/) and found that once I'd rated some movies the recommendations were very good.

But like others have said the easiest way is to find a friend/critic who has similar taste to you and just see what they recommend.

dairylee··on TfL closes 40 tube stations, suspends Night Tube, fewer trains, buses next week
The only thing I can see is on the BBC News website they have a line that says: "The Army is preparing to provide support during the pandemic"

Definitely doesn't sound like a lockdown.

dairylee··on Smart devices are eating the market for accessibly-priced watches
I've worn a Casio F-91W for 15 years.
dairylee··on Trunk Road Gritter Tracker
The trunk road network is 2179 miles (3506km) long and there's ~120 gritters deployed.

Doesn't seem like an unreasonable amount to me.

dairylee··on Show HN: React-UFO – A simple React hook to help you with data fetching
What's the motivation behind this hook? Does it do anything better than two of the biggest data fetching hooks swr (https://github.com/zeit/swr) or react-query (https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-query)?
dairylee··on Finland to give dads same parental leave as mums
This was someone we definitely noticed about Norway when we were in Oslo for a week.

There was so many dads just walking around the city/parks in the middle of the day pushing prams. It was so nice to see.
