"The blue pipes supply cold water and the red pipes return the warm water back to be cooled." So the Dalles DC is closed loop cooling. And Denise has to work in the dark so they can save some electricity.

Is humor not allowed on HN anymore... this is funny!

Is that any different that the media or cancel culture?

The EU - "it would be a shame if something happened to your business model". idk it sounds like the EU is becoming more like organized crime in how they act - "and hey we need you to make a way to break E2E encryption so we can monitor".

Maybe this explains why people on tv seem uglier now than 10 years ago. We must have a war on beauty now.

What is the great oxygen holocaust? Odd choice of words.

Are we all not bias in some way. Anymore, just an opinion counts for that.

In a conversation with a father that allowed his daughter to choose her pronoun I mentioned that is as dangerous as a parent that allows their child to eat only cake for dinner - he instantly labeled me as a conservative.

In a conversation with a stranger about a friend that cannot hold a job I mentioned how I wish there was some sort of UBI program that would allow him to at least live a basic life - he instantly labeled me as a liberal.

Are not our opinions now considered biased just based on our opinion... so we just should not have an opinion.

Why would anyone use an online service for this anyways. Why not just use VLC?

Though, if your in a church that is virtue signaling then you need to find a different church.

Others comments are great. I just wanted to throw out a couple of things my son and I enjoy - RPG in a Box which you can find on Steam is great as you can make a game without needing to write code but also supports scripting if he decides he is interested. Also doing the Build Box by Mark Rober is fun though a bit pricey.

I understand trying to track misinformation but why are we tracking 'hate speech'? Tangent: If I am in a conversation with someone (a friend) and you over hear me saying 'that's gay' don't bother to come and tell me that's offensive. I wasn't talking to you and I don't think that is hate speech, especially in the context I was using.

I feel like society is trying to police too much shit. It reminds me of the old movie Demolition Man where he is fined for saying a dirty/hate word.

Why would this story not be. It is described as "America's transmission story".

Why not? Because an engine based on 'rotating detonation' could be more efficient than what is in current use today. An engine that can burn a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and Jet-A fuel is better than just Jet-A fuel.? Why is the first response always about burning carbon... at least this is getting people to destinations fast. Go beat up on people joy riding around in cruise ships burning heavy fuel oil.

Lol and I thought this was a real phenomenon I have never observed or heard of.

I have never heard of this. I did not see modern answer for this phenomenon is, do we know?

Rich and poor, young and old, have this in common. I know many college educated and affluent people that can't manage passwords or multi-factor authentication. Oh and don't ask them to save recovery codes because they will put them in highly insecure places... and then forget where they put them.

Rich and poor (young and old) have this in common. Most people I work with are college educated and utterly fail when it comes to managing passwords or multi-factor auth.

Well said. I buy into your theory and $0.02. If we fall back to rules of polite conversation than trying to "fix" our compulsions then we don't even need a social network with filters or circles.

Just had to chime in and say this was how it was when I worked in a Frito Lay warehouse. Lost 10lbs in my first week (probably water weight) because of the heat and labor required. Also same experience when working at Dixie warehouse. That is par for warehouse work.

Wow, this was just a sad read.

I found the title "Hustling 101: How to Turn Your Code into Cash" to be more cringe-worthy. Sorry but Hip-Hop music/culture is what is keeping people down.

Could not agree more. What I find odd is that this is how most of the people are I come into contact with. Most women I know, including my wife, desire the stereotypical life. She wants to stay at home while I work. It's not like any of our 'roles' are set in stone it is just how things happened. The few friends I still have are in similar positions with their spouses.

This happens here in America. Wedding Crashers was on E! (cable tv channel) not long ago and the part where Betty White's character is talking about Eleanor Roosevelt (I believe) and calls here a "big lesbian mule"... "big dyke" was cut out. All American companies are afraid of offending someone.

I second that. Tried using cash as a down payment on a house did not fly even though I could reconcile the difference in cash with what I kept in the bank with my pay stubs and deposit/withdrawl records. Underwriters want to see that cash sitting in a bank account.

Yes it seems the complexity of billing still has something to do with Who Pays.

I had a similar issue where I was billed for a physical that my insurance provider would not pay. My wife suggested I have the Dr. office re-code the bill. Not sure what that is but I contacted the Dr. office and explained that it was not a wellness check up but an annual physical that my insurance should cover. After arguing for about 10 minutes they finally agreed to re-submit to insurance under that code... and it ended up being covered by insurance after all.

now that's a bad trip lol

Can I just sell my data? I really don't care and not sure why everyone is freaking out over this. I also believe most tech muggles don't care either. Also is not most of our data sold by data brokers currently - like your physical address. Not sure what I should worry about with my browsing data...

From what I have observed low income people have ObamaPhones. So perhaps that is how they are affording them. But then again the people I observed lived in a ghetto and were signing up for cable and seemed to have more disposable income than they let on... A bit like your father I am confused how they afford a bunch of stuff they appeared to own.

Not to complain about something not exactly related but I wish the city of Louisville could make traffic data more available. The Trimarc.org site is not that great on mobile, many of the cameras do not work, and a couple of wks back they disabled their RSS feed. So far none of the open data crap this city has done is worth a damn.

For me making something is like a drug. I have a lot of fun working on it and even immersing myself but after a while the fun runs out. If I finish what I am working on I feel awesome then almost immediately sad. Then I have to find something else.
