This is one of the most interesting comments I've encountered on HN. Thanks!

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

Literally their first sentence is bolded and calls out the subscription fee.

I wonder if adults can improve their handwriting.

I both agree and disagree. It's a terrible way to read anything long-form, but in the case of a suspenseful story like this it's pretty great.

Not just to feel bad, but also to experience discomfort. A lot of addiction is just trying to find relief for temporary discomfort.

This is... literally the opposite of reality. Did you forget a /s?

I create DigitalOcean droplets on-demand via their API and roughly 10% of the requests just fail with a generic error message, and then get into an error state with "failure to create droplet."

It's... pretty frustrating, so I'm looking for a new provider with a simple API.

That's what Zipcar (or its competitors) is for. In most cases us city-dwellers still save money on short-term rentals over the cost of car ownership.

Long-shot, but if there's any chance you're in the Bay Area, do you think I could buy you coffee or lunch to check it out some time? I really want to see a Curta in-person.

As of 11:30 PST in Oakland on Xfinity, things appear to be coming back to normal. Anybody else?

Thanks for the info. How on earth could Comcast have a single point of failure for their entire network nation-wide?

Would this suggest that there's possibly something like a MITM attack going on that's hijacking their traffic somewhere?

Serious question - what could cause this? I don't know much about network configuration or DNS. Could it be a coordinated attack on Comcast's infrastructure somewhere? Seems a little crazy that they'd be experiencing problem nation-wide with no redundancy baked into their system.

I tried manually flipping over to Google's DNS servers with the same result.

Guess we should just grab a pint and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

Oakland checking in. Can't reach about half of the internet, dropping a lot of packets.

Same on Xfinity in Oakland. What could cause this?!

I did some research on this a few months ago and landed on this book, which is highly recommended by physicians with interest in the relationship between gut health and autoimmune diseases.

"Accidentally"

They're also heavily supported by Russia.

Who did your icon illustrations? They're great!

San Francisco, checking in. I think tiny starter houses here are around $1.2 - $1.4 million now right?

They added kaleidoscopes to the watch. ಠ_ಠ

Are you joking?

How is Soylent different from meal replacement or protein powders that have existed for years?

One similar thing that's always bothered me conventionally. Why is it `System.arraycopy()` and not `System.arrayCopy()`?

This is pretty cool, but the advent of Android Things might've rendered it obsolete. My understanding is you can run a custom Android Things image on a Raspberry Pi 3, and get access to the full Android OS, along with developer niceties like adb for pushing APKs.

Why don't you properly configure DKIM and SPF? Then you won't have this problem.

basic computer literacy != learning to code

"Acquires."

That's hilarious. Most American car companies can barely build cars, let alone self-driving cars.
