Having great grandparents from Nantucket who's 7 family members died at sea while working as crab fishermen, it's seems reasonable this is a publicity stunt or he has absolutely no respect for how violent and unforgiving is the ocean.
So were many the hundreds of thousands of sailors whom have died at sea. The ocean doesn't care about experience or arrogance when a storm comes up and drowns this guy, or the great deal of money and risk to rescuers this clown imposes should he manage to somehow not die.
In fact, 8 oz of hot water (say from a coffee shop or not quite boiled on a camping μstove) added to a larger cup, covered, will rehydrate pasta without external heat just fine (~15 min) and it's probably not as sodium-terrible as ramen.
Ramen doesn't need to be sodium terrible. Even with cheap Top Ramen and similar, you don't need to use the entire "flavor packet", the noodles themselves (which are all you're interested in for the calories) are low in sodium.
Even ages ago when Top Ramen was a staple of my diet, I found it much too salty to use the entire flavor packet.
I use a wide mouth, vacuum bottle, to cook rice or pasta. It keeps the heat in, so you only have to heat it up initially, not continuously. A bonus is that you don't have to pay any attention while cooking,
Maybe there needs to be a separate political HN site with the same login so people whom want to engage can do so and others can opt-out? Say: https://political.news.ycombinator.com
Also, any stories deemed mostly political can just be moved there instead of being censored/shutdown with flagged and reserve flagged for truly nonstories and spam.
Heavy moderation is key, whether by the mods or community. Having a whole political channel to moderate isn't worth the resources for YC.
It's an opportunity a startup. Think of what Quora did to Q&A sites like Yahoo Answers. A startup that can deliver a higher-level of discussion but for politics and current events.
I completely disagree. If you look at a recent video of Tesla self-driving real-world "debug" mode with identification/classification bounding boxes, that and Musk's bet on the simplicity of pure-optical CV they have a convincing argument for full autonomy reasonably within a few years.

Another neat thing to deploy into dns is sshfp records so there's almost never ssh fingerprint verification prompts for deployed hosts. Alternatively, ssh host fingerprints can be deployed to LDAP.

For those wondering, [1] provides a bit of a background on SSHFP records. You can only skip host-key checking entirely if it's served with DNSSEC, although that might be easier if you're running internal DNS.
How do you have your system working? Its something I've fiddled with briefly, but ultimately gave up on for now.
There's minimal, necessary limits to free speech after it happens: shutting down child pornographers, violent extremists, 0day exploits and other sites that are obviously, imminently dangerous. Other than that, Neo-Nazis and other undesirable/kook groups must be allowed to gather and speak in order to consistently protect and defend the principles of open society.
Instead of growing vertically up, cities ought to consider down because it doesn't ruin existing property owners' view and the community's beauty of not turning into a concrete, brutalist jungle. Furtheremore, there's effectively infinite subsurface real-estate while the maximum usable height of buildings is finite. Musk's Boring Company transport ideas are also onto something but housing and office space should also be deployed underground to maximize spatial efficiency.
For example, the Mountain View San Antonio Shopping Center development has become an uninspired eyesore. I don't live there but it's unattractive.
Building downwards into space that has no natural light makes for housing that is unpleasant and in many cases dangerous in case of fire (on the 1st to 4th stories, roughly; windows provide a secondary means of egress; and above that, fire escapes).
Additionally, building downwards is extremely impractical where downwards is below the water table, which is the case in many parts of most major cities (since cities tend to have historically developed along rivers or shoreline for access to drinking water and transportation).
And since we're in shameless plug territory already:
By comparison DotProduct [1] is doing full 3D model creation on tablets since 2013 (our first product was based on a Google Nexus 7 with just 1 GB of RAM -- no cloud required).
Maritime Archaeologist here: we take photos with a DSLR camera of terrestrial and underwater sites, and artifacts, and then extrapolate 3D models with Agisoft Photoscan.
Is there any advantage to using one of these devices?

Yes, you can get the fully processed 3D model within minutes of capture, no cloud or desktop computer required. Plus our file format is very compressed so you can share scans right from the field over your mobile connection.
