Does stuff on Google Drive get hand moderated or just scanned?
peanut_worm··on Functional programming is finally going mainstream

you should probably mention that you are the ceo of you.com
peanut_worm··on Nikon to stop making SLR cameras and focus on mirrorless models?
Thats not a surprise considering mirrorless cameras are popular now. I keep seeing this news being spinned as “iPhones replacing cameras”. Not sure why, iPhones have an effective range of like 8 feet obviously people need to take pictures of things further away.

Other than the big bright ones (which I guess are nearby stars) are all these things different galaxies?

peanut_worm··on Ask HN: Why is the back button becoming more and more useless?
Lazy devs who dont want to learn the history api and malicious devs who want to trap you on a website
peanut_worm··on Welcome to Dino's Tomato Pie website online (1997)
How on earth does HN take 30 seconds but a website full of animated gifs is instant? HN loads instantly for me.
peanut_worm··on Exposing Fake Primitive Technologies Videos
this title seems like clickbait so that people think Primitive Technology is a fake channel.

Will absolutely never buy a product from Lenovo ever again
peanut_worm··on Show HN: PDFs that are readable by human eyes only
This seems like it would just be annoying and would not even work for most purposes. Kind of neat though.

peanut_worm··on TikTok is sued over deaths of two young girls in viral 'blackout challenge'
Douyin, a completely different app ran by ByteDance is popular in China. TikTok is not.

Weird, its almost like this app made by a country that hates the west and plans to invade us in a couple decades wasn’t designed with our wellbeing in mind... who would have guessed

peanut_worm··on Germany’s move to legalise cannabis expected to create ‘domino effect’
And you can absolutely obtain such a thing. CBD weed is usually 2-3% THC. Almost every dispensary carries it in some form.

Also to people with higher tolerance a joint IS like a beer. THC tolerance builds slowly but lasts a very long time unlike alcohol (anecdotally).

peanut_worm··on Germany’s move to legalise cannabis expected to create ‘domino effect’
CBD flower is usually around 2 or 3 percent and is widely available
peanut_worm··on Germany’s move to legalise cannabis expected to create ‘domino effect’
You do have a choice, as I said almost every dispensary carries CBD and low THC flower
peanut_worm··on Germany’s move to legalise cannabis expected to create ‘domino effect’
You can still find lower THC cannabis at any dispensary. Most carry from 10 to 30%. Most also carry CBD flower and very low dose edibles.

I also don’t understand this argument because you can just take 1 hit and be done. No one is forcing you to finish a whole joint. Should liquor be outlawed because it is stronger than beer?

peanut_worm··on An employee at EpicGames wants me to fill out this questionnaire to use my OSS
That is just insane behavior
peanut_worm··on Ask HN: What lifestyle choices have led to improved cognitive function/memory?
Going on an intense hike usually helps me focus for a few days.

It feels like taking out the trash for your brain. It gives you some time where you don’t need to focus on anything.

I am sure running does the same thing for a lot of people but I live in a suburb and that is too overstimulating for me.

peanut_worm··on Why hasn't Middle Earth had an Industrial Revolution?
Yeah but in Middle Earth you have all of those problems plus giant spiders, balrogs, wizards, orcs etc
peanut_worm··on 4 in 5 Americans who need insulin have taken on credit card debt to cover cost

Same is happening with Starlings. They are in decline in Europe but they thrive the North America
peanut_worm··on Deter House Sparrows from your hanging feeder with a Magic Halo (2017)
Odd that this list considers Cattle Egrets as invasive, I have never heard that before. They came here naturally just fairly recently. Their range expanded due to human activity but, rather interestingly, it was because they had more available food sources rather than physically being moved by people. They eat parasites off cattle so as cattle farming expanded so did their range.

Herons are already capable of traversing entire continents, as can be seen with Night Herons. Cattle Egrets just didn’t really have a reason to expand until recently.

The driver is brave, that thing looks like a plastic bag blowing in the wind
peanut_worm··on Deter House Sparrows from your hanging feeder with a Magic Halo (2017)
House Sparrows are invasive in the United States and they are very aggressive. They destroy the nests of native birds to eliminate competition.
peanut_worm··on FDA orders Juul to pull all of its vaping products from the U.S. market
guess all those juulers will just start smoking cigarettes and dying. i dont understand the logic of allowing one and not the other. in what way has juul marketed to childen?

its popular with teenagers because you can smoke it in a school bathroom without getting caught; its easy to conceal. is that grounds for banning something now? are they just going to ban vaporizers all together then?

seems like an completely illogical reaction to the issue.
