Who knows - it’s just fake internet points. Hard to get worked up about.

Much of that money goes to permitting, admin, and insurance. What you’re seeing is probably the $10-20 million that wasn’t successfully siphoned off by bureaucrats.

tl;dr she didn’t send any obvious signals that she was pregnant, and didn’t get any ads. The headline only represents about four paragraphs from a very long article that rambles al…

Just you; in my comparatively sane state most were never turned off and those that were came back within a few months.

Huh, never heard that before. Does it leak more information than just encrypting without zipping? Struggling to imagine how this attack works.

I am _very_ happy that the manufacturer of my car is a subservient cog wrt the infotainment system. They suck at when they’re not a subservient cog.

Good lord could you imagine the meltdown HN would have if Apple had taken this option to solve the old-batteries-support-lower-peak-current physics problem? “Your device battery no…

What incidents are you looking at that make you think pilot standards are too low? In the US?

ATC is a unique thing - if you’re interested, suggest listening to the https://www.opposingbases.com/ podcast. It’s eye opening how much complexity they deal with, and how frequent…

Genuine question - why do you allow _any_ time? I don’t have kids, so I’m able to make these large generalizing statements: seems like personal connections to AI chatbots are a for…

0-60 time is 2.6 seconds, or 10.32m/s^2 if it’s evenly distributed. So from zero you’d be doing 11.5mph in 0.5s (and travelled a little over four feet). But importantly, it looks l…

Sure seems like the solution is to get bank money out of housing. I say this as someone who’s usually on the free-market side of debates. Is there a true downside to the plans occa…

Unless they’re pressing the button on your phone, it’s not an issue.

Yeah, aka evidently the only place that has hardware & software teams good enough to do all this stuff on device.

Cards get declined. Support tickets get created. Customers die and you have to hold all their stuff open for 90 days while trying to reach them, without a chance of getting paid. Y…

Because you’re a more expensive customer per dollar of revenue, statistically - there are constant costs per customer for support, billing, etc.

Really? As a private person I’d jump at that opportunity.

ankane is some kind of superhuman cyborg. Seems like about 25% of the really useful gems I use have that name in the URL...

Thank you; I didn’t have the time or patience to deal with the “sources” crowd on this one.

I feel compelled to point out that usually, the story develops the other direction - from: "Autopilot crashes car, kills family!" to (with much less fanfare): "Actually, it was a d…

A Pi draws somewhere under 10W at peak, probably significantly under that most of the time. That’s about 87kWh per year, worst case. Something like $8-16 dollars depending on how i…

For reference, Wikipedia says SpaceX has spent $3B on the Starship program through May 2023. Another 2B estimated in 2023 at that point, so somewhere less than 10B total, easily. I…

You can charge outside without issues. Snow/sleet doesn't matter; the charging connections are water-tolerant. And you should probably find some better electricians to get a quote …

No, liability insurance pays out your _liability_ for pedestrian's medical bills and/or death caused by you. That's the point.

Why the downvotes? Insurance is one of very few industries that truly has incentives to price their product correctly. If I can get liability insurance on my Civic for $30/mo, or a…
