Congratulations Canada!
lom··on Reddit appears to be restoring edited/deleted comments
What if I wrote something that doxxed me and then deleted it. Is it being restored? This is unacceptable.
lom··on Reddit subs with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely
Completely disagree, my homepage is almost empty.

I was looking at tents earlier and wanted to see reddit reviews but literally every single link was private. Reddit has to be noticing this.

lom··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit
> Even for cycling, there are about 8 subs that I'm on, and one out of the bunch is strictly focused on serious fitness & performance discussions, whereas the rest are sort of free-for-alls loosely based on the subreddit's sub-genre.

Would you mind sharing?

lom··on New York City will charge drivers going downtown
I’m sorry what? Cars are the most subsidized thing in America today, you can’t speak of success when they get billions of blank checks handed to them in many different ways. See here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092180092...

Meanwhile public transit: https://www.apta.com/research-technical-resources/research-r...

works fine here
lom··on Third-party Reddit apps are being crushed by price increases
Every day I stay away from r/popular and large subreddits is a day I end up a bit happier and less angry.
lom··on Direct air capture: our technology to capture CO₂
The article says that the plant can remove 4000 tons of co2 per year. If you look up what’s the equivalent of that, just under 900 average vehicles less on the road per year.

Or the equivalent co2 savings of building one wind turbine to replace polluting forms of energy production.

What a joke.

lom··on Social network ad targeting can “listen into” conversations using “live photos”
How do you get the live pictures from the pixel? All I can do is export as a GIF or mp4. The latter of which also doesn’t include text for me.
lom··on Google will soon let Pixel phones double as dashcams
This is pretty interesting. I currently use a pixel 4a which will no longer get updates this summer.

If I could turn it into a full time dashcam I could reuse my still-working old phone, I wouldn’t have to dispose of it and save money.

lom··on Explosions are great, actually
Great piece, I’ve never thought about space flight management that way.

It seems obvious now why SpaceX is able to build better interplanetary rockets than NASA for faster, better and cheaper.

You’re not going to be downvoted if that’s also the conclusion the article has.
lom··on Electricity Prices by Country

Meanwhile, if you want a great tutorial on how to build a interactive geography related map, there’s something on the hackernews frontpage for you too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35434435

Isn’t market manipulation like that illegal?
