I have seen this enough times that I now remember that comic by its number
It's absolutely mind blowing to think the whales will be able to do this in early 70s.

I can only wonder if what could be possible by today's hardware and monitoring techniques.

There's a Wikipedia article on marine animal training : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_mammal_training

The only good use of this domain.
Thank you so much for making it, when I started getting into the habit of digital journal, it had helped me a lot to not fix grammar and to not cringe at the things I've just written down.

Well Written, Reading this felt like a breath of fresh air amid all the fog and pollution by "AI will take all our jobs" and "How to $$$ with AI".
Re:Ramadan shows up in Internet trends (2022) on Wednesday March 29, 2023 @03:21PM (#35361977)
I was having this discussion with a friend recently that the porn usage also drops significantly during various religious festivals. I don't have any firm data to back up my hypothesis but I did find one news article.

yes, I would 100 percentage watch it
Not necessarily bad name, but the company where I'm currently in is itself called "CAW", short for "Chimps At Work".

The founder is ex-Microsoft and apparently, Chimp was a title given to Microsoft employees working on new projects.

This is just someone sharing their workflow. What makes you think this is an actual ad ?
Re:MDN converted to Markdown on Saturday November 05, 2022 @08:49AM (#33480909)
I agree with this. Reddit and Discord both use markdown and I've been using it for ages without ever knowing it's called Markdown.

I just thought it's a neat trick you can apply italics by underscore and make text stand out with back ticks around.

Even least technical people using bold/italics/indent on WhatsApp are using markdown in a way.

Yes. One or two potential answers could be really helpful features.

It's too much to ask but I also wish to see recent submissions.

Re:The Thorny Problem of Keeping the Internet's Time on Saturday October 08, 2022 @02:47PM (#33134854)
This quote hits hard

    Coders who contribute to it, she said, should feel proud enough to declare, “Everyone uses the software, it’s in everything, and I wrote it!” It’s striking how few people know Mills’s name, given how many know the pseudonym of whoever created Bitcoin."
I never heard of Mill before, and am just glad to have read and known this critical man and technology to internet infrastructure.
Re:Idea: Suggester of Dating Ideas for Couples on Friday October 07, 2022 @04:03AM (#33118559)
The only way I could see this working is if the app was more passive where the could save stuff in the app and discuss it.

For example say you found a really cool recipe on the web that you want to save and share, you would then share that link with the app and add relevant tags for category and time and place.

Later you also found a cool hangout spot that you'll want to go, share link to app, add tags and done.

Use Case:

Now you meet your partner and you have an hour together but don't know what to do ?

You can now open the app, sort for 1hr time and it shows all the things you both have wanted to do say cook a particular recipe or go to that place.

This could very well be achieved by any planning app or something similar but having a dedicated app would work who knows!

Hyderabad is basically Bangalore but without traffic, better infrastructure and great food.

The govt is also pushing forward the Tech space. Just check the new t-hub
