I already don't like how you constantly push your product on HN, but now you're acting like an entitled asshole to boot. Maybe chill out and don't attack possible users?
Yes, until the government passes new laws which reduce those protections and allow the use of this data for other things. It's really great you built in decent protections, but that doesn't mean they'll always be in place. Us techies seem to think technology exists in a static environment, but it doesn't.
Always ask yourself before working on stuff, if the USA were to turn to fascism tomorrow, would your work be helping us fight it or helping it subjugate us?
I wonder if you could position posts or boxes (some physical object) with "weird" shapes that could be used as fixed, recognizable points for this sort of thing? So when your sensor picks it up, it's easy to immediately know that this specific object matches to object ID #1234 which is in a specific, known lat/lon/altitude/rotation/translation position.
I would like to see some sources like this that are language agnostic that give you the tools needed to implement your own popular tool. For example, where could I look to find a written description of the way git works from the ground up? Kind of like a "guide to implementing X" type of thing, but without code.
You are saying an 80-85% loss isn't brutal? Man, bitcoin people are way tougher than I am, because losing that much value in my investments would make me want to die. I only lost like 15-20% during the 2008 crash and recovered that and way more over the last 11 years.
Yea, and capex is the hardest nut to crack since it requires investors that want to make a profit sooner rather than later. I love nuclear, but it's not a realistic resource at this time. All the downvotes in the world won't make this untrue.
It depends on the cost, honestly. If the cost is too high, no utility will continue to run those plants. I agree with you, but the reality is that finance runs everything these days.
>I doubt we will see any reasonable economics for nuclear as long coal, oil and gas is allowed to be burned.
True, and that's why the carbon tax would have to be super-high as to make oil and gas financially un-viable. Banning burning fossil fuels is a better step, though, I agree.
I would seriously like to hear from you folks why you disagree with my statement above, please comment. I have a feeling it's either rabid pro-nuke folks (I was a nuclear technician in the Navy, so I am also pro-nuke) or the pro-oil folks that disagreed with my carbon tax proposal. I have no idea right now why you think my position is wrong, so please enlighten me.
Nuclear isn't built because it isn't financially viable. I'd love to see more nuclear, but it just isn't going to happen anytime soon. Maybe if we added a carbon tax that was reasonable considering the climate emergency it might be.
>This is what happens if you just cower and do nothing
You sure? Because even when I was in the military, they trained us to respond to security events by locking our area down rather than running into the fight unless we were designated responders. Sounds to me like the cops just wanted to fire their fancy training pellet guns at someone.
>At what point do these type of restrictions affect peoples' freedom of religion?
At the point they don't have any other options. They can teach their conversion therapy in person if they want. They can make websites. They can send out newsletters. They can write books. Why should Google, Apple, MS, or anyone else be forced to host this app? It's clear that the "community standards" don't allow for apps like this, because 139k people want it out and ~20 want the app to stay.
I am not a game developer, but couldn't you make a multiplayer game more fair in this situation by adding artificial lag into everyone's controls to match the highest lag person? Just limit it to a certain amount, like no more than 200-300ms.
I used Tildes during the first round of public closed alpha and it's pretty nice, everyone was polite, and they didn't put up with rude folks or bullshit trolls. I ended up quitting because there wasn't enough content at the time and I was wasting too much time there, like I did on Reddit. However, I would say it might be worth going back there to check it out again. The platform itself is open source, I believe, and it uses as little JS as possible to make the site simple.
Maybe the high-growth companies should try not to abandon their employees rather than putting the onus on employees to not be abandoned. This could be done with some careful planning as they grow, but most of the high-growth companies I've experienced have their employees as priority number N (for some high value of N) and the actual growth, profits, etc. as priorities 1 to N-1.
I'm starting to think something like flatpak or snap is necessary, but in a more sandboxed way, to enforce on the user level that certain apps won't have access to certain files. I would like to see options to fully sandbox an app (has it's own separate permissions for certain documents) or not sandbox it at all (for things we trust implicitly that need that access).
Tell me your secret to understanding the inner minds of animals.
Seriously, any pet owner will tell you animals seemingly have feelings. They do things that don't make much sense outside of them showing love, hate, annoyance, etc. It's not scientific, but why would humans be so different from animals when we all came down a similar evolutionary line? You don't see great leaps in physical trait happening, usually, it's a gradual process, so I would assume that feelings gradually developed into what humans have now.
Good, I hope it dies. I don't use Facebook for the obvious reason (privacy) and my family almost refuses to contact me in any other medium. If I didn't take the initiative to contact them via email or phone, they'd forget I existed.
Probably more like "better tolerances" or something like that. The labor/time put into a cable is the most pricey part, raw materials are probably only a few cents, even if you double the copper into it.
Your entire post here was blaming the drivers going the speed limit by using anecdotal evidence and claiming that speeders are not the dangerous ones. In other words: complete bullshit.
The only reason to go fast is for thrills. Going fast is dangerous to other people, hence: fuck you, go slower. I don't care what situation you pull from your ass to give a counterexample, 99.99% of people driving over the speed limit by more than 10-20 are driving dangerously.
In Hawaii, where housing is physically limited and prices are insane (maybe not like SF but still), a lot of families live with 2 or 3 generations in the same house. It's perfectly normal there, for example, for kids to live with their parents until their late 20's in order to save money, and some live with their parents until they pass away and then they inherit the home and live in it as their own. It's a much more diverse place than the US mainland, and it has a heavy dose of several Asian and other cultures which make it this way (Hawaii is kind of a "stew" rather than a "melting pot" like the mainland).
