I'm reminded of the story of the girl who survived, somehow, a fall from a plane in the Amazon while strapped in to her seat. The theory is that the row seats spun like one of those seed pods and slowed her down when hitting some trees.

I've often thought about this topic since the explosive decompression of Malaysia flight 17 over Ukraine. The anti-aircraft missile apparently caused an instant, explosive decompression of the plane. Assuming you weren't hit by one of the projectiles, you would have found yourself suddenly free-falling.

Is it ok to mock people who die from AIDS now?

(this is intended as sarcasm to point out the morality of mocking people who die from a preventable disease)

It's annoying that the original Latin is not provided. I'd love to know the original words used for some of these terms (such as buggering).

EDIT: It looks like this link is just a marketing site for a jewellery store. The original that this site stole from is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20170221135226/http://www.pompei...

You have no idea. Al Qaeda has nothing on the cartels.

It's mandated by ICANN.

Do you have an explanation of any of the details?

I turned on the anti-cookie alert option in ublock.

Depends on the state. Some are more business friendly than others. Michigan's LLC annual fee is $25. Arizona has a one-time LLC formation fee of $50 and no annual fees or filings. Each state is different.

It’s the only browser on iOS that has decent ad blocking.

I don’t think any of those things have anything to do with net neutrality.

Wow, that brings back some memories. I built one of those too. It was a crystal radio with no need for batteries. I used that little radio for years to listen in bed until I fell asleep.

The indictment is linked at the bottom of the page and has interesting technical details.

Even more interesting is the question of how the named individuals were identified, which is not addressed in the indictment. The indictment also includes photos of three of the people indicted. This comes across as a shot across the bow to show China that the US govt can identify the individual people doing these things.

If you settle, the complaint and other docket records are public record. There are sites that now publish lots of court records, so just googling a name may bring up lawsuits filed by that person. You don’t need to google specifically for court records.

Also consider this: if you do sue, any future potential employer who googles your name will see the lawsuit. This will dramatically reduce your chances of getting future jobs.

One wonders if they were auditing the numbers of actual registered voters vs those actually voting and came up with numbers that were wonky.

So who is now in possession of the paper records and how easy would it be to manipulate those records?

Imagine being on that development team looking at Feb 22 to get it fixed.

Looks like KC transit ridership has been declining since 2014: https://nationaltransitdatabase.org/missouri/kansas-city-are...

Same here. I'd love ad blocking on firefox in ios but it doesn't seem to be an option.

HN has become a bizzaroland where I get downvoted for voicing support for an app.

I recently switched to an iPhone from android. Brave seems like the only browser that allows me to block ads without some sort of external plug-in app. I miss having ublock on iOS. But brave seems to do the trick for me and its place.

Strangely, cliqz.com was blocked by my pihole.

Weird, your domain (cliqz.com) was blocked by my pihole.

This is why direct primary care is becoming a thing. Doctors are opting out of the insurance system in order to see fewer patients and reduce overhead. For $50-$75 a month, you get unlimited access to your physician, including via video call, access to wholesale meds and labs, and reduced cost diagnostics.

There are also state laws requiring a "certificate of need" that artificially limits the number of MRI machines, keeping the cost high.

Define "bullshit cases."

> the Governments of the United Kingdom and the French Republic make this declaration of indissoluble union

The claimed goal was to end future nationalism, but such a "indissoluble union" would in the long term lead to such nationalism.

Now the fun part -- defining political ads.

I've been trying to download the update, but it keeps timing out. Is China ddosing you? :)

I just took a week-long road trip across Poland and noticed these. Thanks for the explanation!
