One can only conclude that there is negligible security regarding US classified documents, and that dozens of politicians have carelessly filed and discarded hundreds and thousands of documents without any regard for safety. It’s all a big, open mess with, no doubt, foreign agents happily taking advantage of it.

Why are so many users not using the “Ask HN” prefix for their questions?

And iOS… partially

It’s a 25% difference!

Because “Best Practices“ and “Interface Ergonomics“ guidelines provide excellent parameters for legislation. Why would we want anything other than the best functional design/interface for something as important as our vehicle controls?

Japanese pull saws have the kerf you seek and cut on both strokes. What they lack is the narrow depth that would allow for tight radius turns. Regardless, the tooth pattern for a scroll saw that cuts in both directions exists.

Pinhole breaks in hydraulic systems have seriously injured/killed workers, so I believe that a water jet could be made small enough… but whether that’s practical is another matter entirely. The passage of abrading grit might wreck the nozzle in short order.

Have you considered using a water jet?

Dupe of a post made only two hours earlier. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34237178

> I see most of the comments here expressing skepticism getting downvoted (like what you would expect on reddit)

What with the many medical studies demonstrating treatment efficacy, it’s hardly surprising that scare-mongering anecdotes and ignorance-based commentary are downvoted.

Oh FFS. Vaccination greatly reduces the severity of illness, which is to say it greatly reduces how many cells get infected and how much the virus is replicated in the body. This necessarily reduces the opportunity for a mutation to occur.

So tired of idiotic vaccination disinformation. It is always so goddamned moronic.

No “excuse” is needed to bring science to the rest of the world. If you beg to differ, please explain how we would be better served by unscientific approaches to problem-solving.

IMO democracy is the least-worst political system, so no “excuse” is needed there, either.

Can’t reason a person out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

Also a term of endearment between Aussie blokes.

This opinion piece is written by an absolutely unqualified talking head, not an epidemiologist.

> Allysia Finley is a member of the Journal's Editorial Board. Ms. Finley joined The Wall Street Journal in 2009 after graduating from Stanford University with a bachelor’s degree in American Studies. During college, she edited the opinions section for The Stanford Review and wrote columns for The Orange County Register.

Lacking any science training whatsoever, she is less qualified to write this column than most HN readers.

I just want to note here that Samsung refrigerators and dishwashers are absolute shit and should be avoided like the plague. Also, their stoves are pretty crap, too, with a self-clean option that destroys the motherboard and blowers.

You'll have a hard time convincing me that their design and manufacturing issues are not endemic across their entire company. Fish rots from the head, etc.

And a damn shame that Kleenex® is synonymous with Scott’s Nose Tissues. You can rules-argue that no one should be saying “Kleenex” when asking for a tissue. IMO not worth debating; it would be missing the forest for the trees.

Really dedicated to bringing that Reddit-quality argumentation to us, eh? You’ve been corrected on your misinformation, and jus double down on it. Thanks for nothing.

The entire basis for human society is socialism: the cooperative, collective effort to produce food, shelter, and safety for one’s community (read: tribe, village, township, nation).

It is a damn shame that the term has been so crudely abused and distorted in the USA, becoming the go-to bogeyman for those that wish to prevent the working class from their share of the wealth of the nation. No universal healthcare for you people: it would enable you to find a better job without fear of losing your benefits. No social safety nets, lest it give you the security to seek out something better.

So long as all y’all refuse to work together to better everyone’s circumstances, all y’all will continue to suffer at the hands of those with the money and political power.

As a mid-fifties older adult, every one of your points rings true.

In the late seventies/early eighties we grew up believing we were going to die in a nuclear holocaust. Have you watched “The Day After” and “Threads”? Way worse on a child’s psyche than “Don’t Look Up” because doesn’t depict survival in an irradiated apocalypse of pain, wounds, death, and deprivation: everyone just gathers for a nice dinner and instant obliteration.

We Gen-X coped with the grim possibility of nuclear death, and then coped with death by AIDS, and then coped with the ever-increasing reality of global environmental failure, from ozone holes to acid rain to the heat death of the planet, and then coped with being kicked in the teeth by massive financial failures again and again and again.

Things have been worsening ever more rapidly my entire damn life and there’s no sign of it ever letting up. Yet somehow, still coping. I don’t think young people have it any worse than Gen-X has had it.

Grumble, woe is me, get off my lawn, etc.

It’s ironic? How so? ELI5 please.

Anyhoo, I chose “moistly” because his reaction to saying the word was hilarious, because it’s completely unlike other aliases here, and because it’s one of those words that everyone feels a little squeamish about, like “lugubrious”, “bulbous”, “phlegm”, “orifice”.

Please, explain how disagreement over petty shit drives advancement. By my understanding, petty shit is of no value, and thus unimportant to advancement of anything but resentment and dismissal, and indeed is an inhibitor of progress. (Irony acknowledged.)

Some sort of paddles-and-ball game that afaik is renown for its (a) endless, obnoxious, loud “THWOK! … THWOK! … THWOK!” sound and (b) obnoxious, self-entitled players.

Seriously, I have never heard anything good about it from anyone who does not play, only controversy and upset from neighbours and other potential users of the court.

> Nevertheless your comment accusing me

Narcissism much? When the comment doesn’t apply to you, it isn’t directed at you.

Flagged and hopefully banned.

GPT AI garbage.

There are plenty of videos of chickens and children getting along famously. The chicken running to greet the school bus, enjoying a cuddle, playing chase, enjoying being petted.

Heck, there are videos of lizards and fish enjoying being petted. Most every animal seems to enjoy being touched gently.
