I also found the evidence against the killing to be pretty weak. It certainly doesn't establish what percentage of disabled babies would be killed.

Intuitively, to me, given how dangerous birthing was for the mother, I imagine only seriously disabled babies - that would never be autonomous as an adult - would be killed.

But I guess we'll never know.

What is your dictionary definition of computer then? Is a sundial a computer because it tells the time? Is an abacus, or a Genaille–Lucas ruler, a computer?

It is absolutely not a computer, though. They observed the observable astrological phenomena was cyclical and made a system of gears for their periods to predict it's state. It's interesting, but for context it is centuries younger than the first Greek geared clocks, so it's definitely not something we should be too surprised that existed.

Do they really reject them though? In my experience publishers will publish anything, if anything they should have higher standards not lower.

But how can people living in cities charge their cars overnight? Does each private garage spot have it's own electricity meter?

You only are "reached" by bad people online because you want to. You can choose to only allow contact from people you know.

What they want though is to be "reachable" by everyone without the drawback of people actually demonstrating a negative view, very much like removing dislikes from Youtube. They want to remove the dislikes from their online personas but done for everyone so it's less obvious they are hiding their critics. Because at the end of the day they need to be famous to get sponsorships or money whatever way they do it, hence they need to pretend to be "reachable".

So you're saying the criteria is stupid but that's okay since no one will check?

And he's the one participating in performative nonsense and not the government and funding agency?

DragonBall was ahead of it's time.

Then build your company in a way a security vulnerability won't end it. Don't save unnecessary data, don't store everything in the same place, make backups. It being harder is no excuse to making a shody work. "Move fast and break things" is a terrible motto both for the company and clients.

I was searching for your question. I agree I don't know why this is in the first page... Maybe some people [1] are right when they say most of HN's audience is interested in business and technology, but not technical themselves.

I also found that weird. Wouldn't the various Chinese languages, and Japanese scripts, have way more characters?

26 to 74 is just double, and most likely some are more common in written communication than others.

I don't buy it at all that just because the archeologists didn't find evidence of a throne room, there wasn't a ruling class or group of elders deciding on important matters and judging on crimes and punishment.

“Despite the considerable size and density of the built-up area, there is no evidence for central authority,”´

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence.

Most documents are digital. When they aren't I scan them. Then I store them per year of creation, except for a few special folders like house related and job related.

Their jurisdiction does, though.

A new meaning for "political science".

I want off this ride

That article does not support your claims.

Reminds me of the stories of people that just up and go on holiday and the neighbors setting a missing persons manhunt.

How can you possibly not escape the use of a smartphone?

The US as I'm sure you are not that naive.

What if it can be proven they were never serious in their claims about the feasability of self-driving. What if it was all a scam to milk investment money, and yours as well. Would it be fraud then? Point being you were given a disclaimer that was accepted in good faith about receiving a product/service in a reasonable time frame. If that time frame turned out to be 100 years, I'd say you were damaged.

And why is the company EU-only? What X-only company is trying to compete with Google anyways?

We need a ban on targeted advertisement.

That just sounds like a bug.

A real scale replica of the Spanish flagship galley can be seen in the Barcelona Maritime Museum.

Your math is wrong, see the birthday paradox. But still, unlikely.

I don't know if there are any, but I can see value in a stablecoin representing a basket of different currencies.

I think it is likely he hosts it himself. And it is a stretch to include the domain registrar since the service it provides is only one of addressing and not content.

Or maybe have no moderation at all? I was under the impression you only see posts from people you follow, so if you're an adult, why require any moderation at all except for not showing what your country deems illegal?

The world needs more wikileaks and less ICIJs.
