news.ycombinator.com Bradford Morgan White 2026-03-29 01:06:18

In 1919, a small leather company was founded in Fort Worth by David Lewis Tandy and Norton Hinckley. The Hinckley-Tandy Leather Company specialized in leather show laces, shoe soles, leather and rubber heels, and other shoe-findings. Tandy focused on sales and marketing while Hinckley managed the internal business operations and inventory. The company did well, bought a larger location in 1923 and expanded to Beaumont in 1927.

Hi all, my Meta developer account was suddenly restricted without warning, and there’s no way to appeal or reach support.

10% Home Depot Promo Codes & Coupons | June 2025

Home Depot goes hard. The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools.

Researchers get viable mice by editing DNA from two sperm

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-04-01 07:34:11

For many species, producing an embryo is a bit of a contest between males and females. Males want as many offspring as possible, and want the females to devote as many resources as possible to each of them. Females are better at keeping their options open and distributing resources in a way to maximize the number of offspring they can produce over the course of their lives. In mammals, this plays out through the chemical modification of DNA, a process called imprinting. Males imprint their DNA
