Re:Show HN: Stock Performance of US Senators on Thursday June 04, 2020 @03:41AM (#23413779)

I noticed the lowest performance corresponds to a woman senator. I plotted what I think are only all woman senators and they all are under the S&P500 performance.

Maybe someone with better statistical knowledge than me can study if there is a significant difference between man and woman senator stock performance.

Sorry for the off topic comment but this then/than mistake I read every day is just getting on my nerves.

" What to Know: Than and then are different words. Than is used in comparisons as a conjunction, as in "she is younger than I am," and as a preposition, "he is taller than me." Then indicates time. It is used as an adverb, "I lived in Idaho then," noun, "we'll have to wait until then," and adjective, "the then governor."" [1]

Anyone interested on this might also be interested in an mobile app called "Cell Lab: Evolution Sandbox" [1], which does a good take on a cell simulation "game".

Re:Best Smartphones That Still Have a Headphone Jack on Tuesday September 17, 2019 @03:58AM (#20992726)

For the small phone seekers, I've been eyeing the Sharp Aquos R2 Compact. Its a small phone (like they don't make them any more) with a headphone jack. Only problem in my opinion is the non-replaceable battery. Furthermore, since the phone is sold just in Japan, I'm fearing that the always-on shutter sound will still be active in Europe (I read it was sim dependent)

Re:Streaming TV is about to get expensive – here's why on Thursday June 27, 2019 @11:17AM (#20295162)

People will find a way.. I see in the future one can subscribe to one of these streaming services for just one month, and then use recording software 24/7 to record all the shows and movies they want to watch in the future. Repeat with another service and slowly build your own database.

The lack of knowledge in news articles regarding space topics is astounding. If you want to learn more about Snoopy, Scott Manley makes a great video about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXVYZm9epmU The orbit description starts at 3:30 but the rest is worth a watch, full of interesting footage and data!
