This would be much easier if our numeric system was also base 12. Then 10*10 is still 100 (but that’s 144 in decimal). Edit: lol responses explode within 60 seconds saying the same thing.

This would explain the OP being annoyed to the point of asking for a ban on it. I’ve also never seen it in the many users of (mostly many times daily) visiting HN.

Should add (2021) to the title.

That’s almost literally unbelievable. I’m not even sure his nephew is reading W3Schools. In case you’re reading this, you may have missed this article: https://www.w3schools.com/html&#…

I’m confused how this can be used for phishing? Does the text only get replaced, and the underlying link stays intact? Surely not? Otherwise, the link would still go to fedex.com.

I like this one better, allowing you to click a location for the exact times/durations of the eclipse for that location: http://xjubier.free.fr/en/site_pages/solar_eclip…

Thank you, I was so confused. Why in the world would they use “blue = more cloud coverage, white/gray = less”?

I think they are suggesting they’re not adequately enforced. At least 10-25% of drivers I see in the road are constantly on their phone. So it’s definitely not enforced enough to deter that.

I think you’re missing the point (but possible I am). My understanding is that OP is proposing that since the grandparents would be raising the kids, this would incentivize people to have kids much yo…

No kidding. Too bad it wasn’t parasitic butterflies (larva) from the parasitic wasps. That would’ve been epic.

If anyone is curious to watch this being played, this one was quite entertaining: https://youtu.be/URahJkSqQAs

Agree that you should view the totality without protection. But I’d argue seeing the diamond is far from boring, and you definitely should not view that without protection.

Or, just order any on the NASA approved list OP linked. You can buy these direct (for example), at a decent price: https://medicalkingusa.com/collections/inventory-set …

> The closer you get to the centerline, the longer totality lasts. The difference is logarithmic, though. And 90% vs. 100% center is only a matter of a few seconds difference. The difference betwee…

I’m assuming this is only achieved by “cheating” in some way? That is, I don’t see how giant pixels can come and go, at a zoomed in level, without breaking the rules of Conway’s game of life? Still co…

That actually makes me feel better about the data, vs. had it been an attempt to use other models to predict that actual weather, that would have pretty much zero trust in this far out.

Sounds like we could all be better off having Leonard around!

I would be interested to hear her responses to a number of the concerns/confusion mentioned below. It seems like there is a lot of speculation in this area (not just this thread, but previous thr…

I drive an EV6, and I’m almost confident it uses (or can use) regenerative braking to come to a complete stop. If I use the ePedal or the brake paddle, the stop is super gradual and you never feel the…

Yeah, fair point. I wonder if you could do it with a coin, and flip the coin after the decision was made? I think that reintroduce risk and regret, but remove trust.

I think this is 100% correct, and very surprised the author of the article and/or study didn’t figure this out. Here’s how you could (possibly) prove that. Instead of the options being you get th…

I’ve never had more than a sip. It’s sometimes tough, socially. But I’ve never (well, rarely) felt pressured, just “left out” sort of. But most people in my family are non-drinkers, so there’s that. I…

It depends on your daily commute. If I need to drive 20 minutes with most of it on the expressway, and they’re prone to accidents and there are multiple viable routes, I’m 100% going to load it up on …

I’m not so sure. Anecdotally, I’ve made it to a remote destination using Maps, then hopped back in the car an hour later (with no signal), and it couldn’t load anything. This seems to happen quite oft…

That's assuming you have it on and updated before you hit the road. I think it's off by default, and I'm guessing most people haven't thought to turn it on, or are even aware of it…
