You take the time to set one up, then you clone it and use the clones for these things.

> ACA

Affordable Care Act?

Happy Fastmail customer here. I switched from Gmail several years ago, but the one thing I miss: staring emails (not pinning).

Please add a staring functionality.

Thank you.

> mail "feature", which is sucking big time

How so?

> people hate hotels

Other than mandatory fees not displayed in the advertised daily rate, I have never heard of people hating hotels.

Airbnb listings also have mandatory fees not displayed in their advertised daily rate.

My understanding is that Airbnb took off because it was cheaper than hotels (however in general, that may not be the case anymore).

I think *people hate costs more than they hate services* (which is how airlines like Spirit and Ryanair have managed to do business).

If they pass a law to avoid punishment, they can later pass a law to allow punishment.

Amazon no longer allows eBook downloads from their website.

> literal blood on the street

People are jumping off of buildings?

It's possible that a renter put it there.

If the house owner never visits and contracts cleaning or managing of the house to another company, then I can see the addition going unnoticed.

Cruise ships wait until they get to international waters before allowing gambling.

Maybe planes can offer gambling while over the ocean?

For the exec who pitches this at a board meeting: you're welcome (cries)

It's interesting, but I watched a couple of the videos for the games, and I'm underwhelmed.

I imagine there's more potential, and I hope they find it. But the price is way past a scratch-an-itch purchase for me.

Don't "change" the name, get the name "corrected".

Source: I pretty much ran into the exact same thing.

Also other things like red cars are more likely to have bumper stickers, XYZ model is more likely to have bumper dents, blue cars are more likely to speed on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.

They only surveyed 1,000 drivers? That does not seem like a good sample size for this kind of study.

If we're going to have Flock spy on our cars everywhere we go, and the cameras are good enough to track bumper stickers and dents, they should track bird poop and publish those results.

Kind of like how OkCupid used to use their data to develop and publish insights (before they sold out to the Match group).

> am driving from the back seat, for some reason (trying, at least)

That's the only driving dream I have ever had.

I have wide feet and Smartwool socks work for me.

(I hate all the weird color combinations and designs that a lot of companies use, but thankfully Smartwool has a good deaign with their Hike Classic Edition Ankle Socks)

Drag brings those flakes to the ground.

Those are not mutually exclusive.

If anyone has a friend or family member in the hospital, the best thing you can do is spend a few hours with them every day until they get out, or arange a schedule with other friends and family members.

Patients need advocates (and someone to help them from getting lonely, which also helps their recovery).

You go ER shopping today, before you have an unknown medical emergency sometime in the future.

Closest ER to work, to home, and maybe to any place you spend a decent amount of time at.

I think if they told their customers they had to do KYC, they would lose a lot of customers.

I was trying to pay for a plan (via credit card). They had a sale going on and I figured I would give them a try.

Easier to track people via Bitcoin than Monero?

I'm not sure about South Korea, but in the U.S., halon started to be phased out in 1994 due to its ozone-depleting characteristics. I believe new facilities use CO2.

I'm guessing lithium-ion batteries were not a factor years ago when those decisions were made.

I can buy expensive things to have delivered to a vacant house and run off in the night if I used a stolen credit card on a VPN, but a cheap digital service that can be cut off at anytime if there's fraud, can't handle a VPN.

I think you left off the "/s"

Yes, they will consider and intentionally take steps to make more money.

Proton had a sale and I wanted to try their services out, but they would not let me register while on Mullvad's VPN. Their support said to not use a VPN when registering.

I personally do not trust Proton.

While I have no use for this, the idea is good for the very few people that might use it.

As someone who doesn't need this, it might be more interesting if there was an example on the homepage.

Good job on taking an idea and executing it.

It's garbage, don't waste your time.

Some of the "run"s they use in their example video have the same meaning, and they also use "ran" and "running" which is debatable because it's not the same word as "run".

NPR is in the U.S. and Hacker News has a policy of not editorializing titles.

This "crypto" at least theoretically has a ceiling.
