AWS exists and has compute right now, spinning up their own HW would take months (at least). This gets them moving quicker.

I feel like Graphene wouldn't stand for that

I'd think they just can't sell the phones preloaded with graphene in regions where these laws exist.

It cracks me up that the toggle for this advises you that it will cause your battery to die faster

I'd think it'd be useful to opt-in to a 24-hr app installation blackout for scenarios like this. But also, Google would definitely give 5-eyes a tool to bypass this for whatever th…

It'll be interesting to see how the timing is enforced. Can you just set up your own NTP server to fool your phone into thinking it's really the future (and not just you adjusting …

They're treating users like toddlers. Having to wait 24 hours to use my phone how I want to?

Assuming she pays taxes on the house, who cares if she lives there?

This isn't just a good idea -- it's a forward-thinking policy to ensure Hacker News remains a collaborative place to have meaningful discussions for years to come.

Yeah, etcd was the main culprit, but latency was 150-300ms in my case. At 3 nodes, it was relatively stable (had an issue every week or so that lasted < 5 min), but at 4 the camel'…

Makes sense the thinkpad of phones would be the partner for this https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/phones/motorola-smartphones/t...

Technically Motorola isn't releasing a running fork of android, they're just making their handsets to GOS' spec.

I would imagine China's goal (if any with this, which I really doubt) is to harm google by eroding their monopoly on mobile operating systems.

Can't make a tomelette...

I'd be worried about getting into a crash on this bike. (still an awesome project)

I think the main idea behind it is that it allows buses to queue up if many arrive at once without blocking the intersection

People complain to their local governments + sue transit authorities that try to do this because they like having a stop right outside their house

I think the article means 'cheap' as in it doesn't really require any new/expensive infrastructure and could theoretically be done overnight. Though, as you mention it's a big poli…
