As the article mentions, between these reindeer sleeping while they eat and penguins sleeping for 4 seconds at a time, it's pretty amazing what we're learning about how animals sleep. I wonder if humans can ever learn to use these "other" means of sleep

I've never heard of these fern-based supplements before. How are they supposed to be better than other antioxidants?

Thanks, never knew that!

Curious how gas x helps with acid reflux. My understanding is that it's for bloating more than reflux. Do you find it works better than antacids?

I assume you mean 1mg of melatonin?

Also, I've learned that less melatonin is actually more effective, so 0.1 MG or 0.3mg is likely a better dosage

I've been enjoying the reading experience on my Supernote A5x. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something a bit more multifunctional than a dedicated e-reader

Looks like Miro, but as the main interaction layer rather than a dedicated app. I feel like it would require extra user effort in terms of additional spatial memory to easily navigate?

Off topic, but I'm curious about the lack of capitalization for "Nasa" (sic). Is this an oversight by the editor or a style guide choice? "BBC" is capitalized in another article, so presumably it's just a typo?

This is so interesting, thanks for sharing! (Might want to add 2020 to the title)

I can't believe how hostile everyone is. You may dislike Mozilla, but they're doing a hell of a lot more to respect users and promote an open internet than Google and Microsoft

A counter anecdote is that I have the exact opposite use case. I don't share my computer with other users, so I've never needed something like profiles. Firefox containers are great for keeping different sites, especially those notorious for tracking (e.g. Amazon, Google, LinkedIn) completely isolated from each other or from general browsing. Plus, the extension that allows for creating temporary containers is great for one-off visits to e-commerce sites without needing to switch to a new private/incognito window. I'm not sure I've ever wanted my extensions isolated by container/profile, that seems like it would hinder productivity. Same for history. It's great having all my history commingled, especially if I want to find something from 30 tabs ago.

I've been contemplating doing this for a while now. I'm definitely ready to move on from my current city.

But what holds me back is, frankly, that I'm scared of not having any friends. I don't want to have to rebuild my social circles. It takes a lot of effort just maintaining my current friendships (as we all get older, get busy, drift apart, etc.), but at least they're there already.

How did you handle this?

Another +1 for Inoreader. So many great features

Love my Rhodia dotGrid pads!

Love their pens so much! I always stock up when I'm in a city with a Muji store

I don't see how HBO can maintain their reputation and prestige with the way Zaslav is running things. Canceling niche, creative, and risk-taking shows and removing accesses to back catalog shows like Westworld entirely. Flooding HBO with cheap Discovery reality shows, and now forcing HBO Max to merge apps with Discovery. All of these are great ways to dilute the HBO brand and make it insignificant.

As a designer, this is 100% correct. I blame Apple and iOS for using toggles/switches instead of checkboxes. And I blame all the people out there who blindly follow whatever Apple does for continuing the trend.

As someone else in this thread mentioned, checkboxes are more of yes or no, and usually have a save button to confirm the setting. Whereas toggles are meant to be on or off with immediate effect.

It's so frustrating to have to spend so much time and energy arguing this. I've even worked at a place where an entire feature of yes/no settings to which the user must agree was named "toggles" because of all the toggles in that flow, even though they're supposed to be checkboxes.

The old adage of no one ever got fired for buying IBM could be replaced by no one ever got fired for copying Apple. It's hard pushing back against that kind of momentum

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know these even existed!

My sentiments exactly!

Same here!

If anyone is like me and finds yerba mate too strong or too bitter, I highly recommend guayusa. It's from the same genus so it's a caffeinated holly plant (ilex guayusa) too, but it has a more pleasant, slightly sweet taste. Anecdotally, I find guayusa gives an energy boost on par with coffee, but sustained for much longer, and with gentler slopes (I.e no crash)

Another shoutout for Inoreader. Been using it for years. The free tier is great, but the paid tier is seriously one of the best investments I've ever made

I have the Coway Mighty in my living room and the Blue Air 411 in my bedroom. Both are great, and I would recommend them to anyone.

And I have the same sentiment as others, Wirecutter is definitely suspect, but at least for air purifiers their recommendations were spot on for me.

Another happy Mullvad customer. Been using them for a couple years now, and couldn't be happier with the ease, speed, and privacy.

I subscribed to every car magazine back in the day, and I've always wondered about this.

I found the link in the article to interesting as well, even if it's basically just the same information (there's also a podcast). [0]

Though I'd like to learn more about the actual patterns employed, I also found from a quick search to be interesting, too. [1]

>Most BMW prototypes go through three camouflage levels. The first is the full fairing, in which hard shells are screwed on, other headlights are mounted and large parts of the car are covered with stickers. In the second stage, only distinctive features typical of the series are covered with foil, underneath are always the headlights and often the rear as well as lines on the side or the bonnet. The last stage is then the model ready for series production, which will later also be available from dealers. In principle, the 'propeller', the BMW emblem, remains hidden until the last moment. Because of this one detail, the almost undisguised car is considered an Erlkönig right up to the end.

Glad to find someone in the same boat.

Holding on to my S9 for as long as I can. I want a headphone jack and sd card slot, and it looks like the Xperia 1 series is the only option.

If I didn't care about those, I would probably jump ship to get an iPhone.

Awesome, thanks so much!

Do you have any resources that helped you dive in? I'd love to get into it myself. Besides some general woodworking classes, I'm not sure where to start.

Congrats on the launch and good luck!

Whenever you're past the secrecy stage, I'd love to see a blog post or video to learn more about your approach.

I highly recommend Xah Lee's site (recommended on a previous HN keyboard thread). [0]

I personally have the X-Bows, and like it quite a bit as a starter ergo keyboard. [1][2]

I've also backed the Glove80 on Kickstarter (after learning about it on HN!) as a deeper dive into ergo. [3][4]
