On a similar note, I have friends who watches TV Series and Movies before they come out to create/review the subtitles. Sounds like fun job but gets boring really fast.

Are you saying that other manufacturers don't do this?

Malodextrin is used in energy gels. There was a article about ultra athletes having higher incidence of colorectal cancer. Hopefully more research comes out.

Most companies want to see outcomes quickly. They will always go for tried and tested solutions. Why would they risk building something on their own? There will be a threshold where companies are too small and the software is too expensive to buy, so they will go for something small that they build themselves. At scale, it will get harder and harder to maintain the solution themselves and they'd rather spend time focussing on their core business than to maintaining their in-house software.

New comment by gobins in "Ask HN: Has anyone moved away from Mac?"

gobins — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 03:08:54 +0000

My mac of 13 years is running fine..except I am unable to update the OS because Apple has set limitations on the upgrading OS with old hardware. I will probably end up buying a new mac until I can see a good Linux ecosystem.

A friend who is also in the same situation is however going to Surface Pros. He swears its on par with Mac on hardware.

Is there a way to estimate gravity on remote planets? Wouldn't the mass of this body, which is six times larger than Earth rule out the habitability?

Interesting that it actually guessed as the neighbouring country. I live close to the border but have never interacted with the people across. Wonder if there might be similarities in tone and inflection.
