Looks great but the price for the keyboard with keypad is $455.

Those are just the direct costs. Cars also make a lot of air pollution, which is the #1 killer worldwide. Enabling/enforcing sedentary life, noise pollution, crowding out streets are other indirect but large costs.

Edit: you could add in the costs of minimum parking requirements, which crowd out housing and increase housing prices.

That's basically what Brave CEO Brendan Eich said when asked why chromium on a podcast.

Same here. I like Brave especially on mobile for blocking web trackers. I find the crypto attention token neat and automatically pay out a few bucks per month to my favorite websites as well as sometimes one-off tips.

What's the relevance of whether eth clients work over Tor? A wallet's history would be available on a block explorer like etherscan.io whether the transaction had been broadcast over Tor network or not. I run a bitcoin node over Tor but it does not change how any money spent from that wallet is viewed by the network compared to spending from a non-Tor wallet.

Yep, I noticed the site loads much faster in Brave Browser which blocks all ads and trackers.

Decade-long Chicago resident here: used public transit, biking, and walking exclusively and never needed a car the entire time. Wish Chicago's density would be legal in more American cities.

If successful means total benefit delivered to shareholders, then I consider my one-man company to be very successful.

Used to be a corporate attorney grinding high billable hours at big firm. Quit to start a solo law practice serving clients working with my favorite thing, cryptocurrencies.

I made $100k working about 30 hours per week from home. Drop off and pick up kids from local school on cargo bike. Take them to the park after school a few days a week (babysitter gets them other days). Client list is kept short to manage stress and avoid need to hire employees.

Disagree, the safety noise is significantly lower than the noise of a car driving fast.

So jealous of Dutch streets. People can be so civilized with bike/ped interactions. Put people behind glass and steel of cars, and it seems like they only shout "fuck you" at each other.

Wait the whirr sound on the Nissan Leaf is coming from a speaker?? I have had a Leaf since 2016 and thought that was just the sound the motor makes (my first EV).

Outside sound for pedestrians on the Leaf is not annoying and a good safety feature IMO.

The nightly build has tipping buttons for twitter and reddit. Hoping this will finally execute the micropayment use case for crypto.

The pop up ads have been activated and I have been receiving the token for clicking, about $8 month worth of BAT. I am hoarding the tokens so that USD value might go up if the token moons together with bitcoin.

Sorry for being that guy, but it is usually called a re-org not a rollback

Love using RPN

The Chicago State St. experiment was not a good pedestrian zone. It was more like a smelly bus depot. Chicago has more than enough density to make a good ped zone work. But this is 'murica, which was built by the pilgrims for cars, not walking.

Love my yubikey

> ProtonMail also makes questionable tradeoffs in the name of questionable security gains

For example?

Doesn't explain why Germany, UK, France, etc. are 90%+ manual transmissions. They have traffic too.

Wait there are downvotes on HN?

But less than 1/10th as bad as cars, no?

The US mostly has different land use laws than the Netherlands. For example, minimum parking requirements and minimum setbacks from property lines basically require sprawl. You get more bang for buck on bike infrastructure when a neighborhood in denser than what is usually allowed in the US. There is usually stiff resistance to changing the US zoning rules.

> provided you are in a wreck, wearing a helmet greatly reduces your risk of serious injury and death

So . . . you wear a helmet when driving? Because people get head injuries all the time in car wrecks.

It's a money printing machine in the sense they printed 100s of millions of tethers whenever they wanted. Problem is no one will give you $1 for a tether (except a very thin market on Kraken). Instead, they used the tethers to buy bitcoin and pump the price, then cashed out their bitcoin to fiat in over-the-counter deals.

Has anyone tried compiling on os x?

Why would they be stupid to hold the bitcoin themselves? If they don't hold the private keys, then whoever does could lose them.

The IP lawyers who prepare post-grant patent petitions are happy with this ruling. Wouldn't you rather represent Google at the PTAB than represent the troll in court?

Good point, the courts still hold ultimate review of patents. The new law just moved the point when review switches over from the executive branch to the judicial branch.

Will Polo be the first shitcoin buffet to offer fiat trading pairs?

No one is buying those tethers. Bitfinex is printing them and using them on their own exchange's margin trading market. They use it to wash trade the price up or down as desired. There is some evidence they have been wash trading down to trigger stop loss sell orders and buying the cheap coins. Then they wash trade up and sell.
