Ironically, training wheels are actually a bad way to teach a kid how to ride a bike. They teach kids bad habits (like turning the handlebars to steer rather than leaning).

Balance bikes are a better first step and are actually really fun compared to training wheels.

They are starting a new discussion about the ethics of drafting because you mentioned "universal male conscription".

In that discussion they are saying that it's unethical to have a child in a country that will draft him unless you prepare him (via learning another language, etc.) to leave as soon as he is 18.

(Just explaining, not putting forth any take on the matter).

It can be true that stacks of paper are better than a single screen in some ways and worse in others. Other people like to be able to spread out multiple sheets of paper in front of them, even if you do not. You are correct that digital search is a huge plus of having a digital interface.

Why was the title renamed on hacker news from “Fifty Things you can do with a Software Defined Radio” to Things you can do with a Software Defined Radio”?

Just curious about if the original title was rule breaking or something.

>“Your 100m sprint time isn't going to tell us much about your 400m time”

…

Statistically it should actually tell us a lot about your 400m sprint time.
