In addition to not supporting addons, preview also does not let you bypass warnings to access sites with self-signed certificates, and I need to do that.
Sure, but again - it's the same argument - the author should have taken enough pride in the manuscript to produce quality work to begin with. That's the root cause that put the author in this position.
Yes, as an author, part of your job is to proofread your work. If this author published the work before it was actually ready, than I have zero sympathy for the author respective of the comments - next time publish quality work rather than blaming the readers. And yes, I know how hard it is to edit a publication, knowing several published writers - all of whom understand that editing is time consuming and much work, but simply part of the process in turning quality work.
Back when I watched the original NOVA episode, I noticed they showed his UUCP email address. Since I had recorded it on VHS, I paused it so I could write it down. I emailed Cliff, apologetically, but thanking him for the story. I was quite surprised when he replied. Super nice guy, great story well told. It was probably a decade later that I read the book but somehow his narration in the NOVA episode is very personable and real, it just nails the story; and the interview with the actual hacker is great.
I'd really like to see a suffix in the title for links to articles that are not free and cannot actually be read. Something similar to the date in parentheses. Lately, a huge number of HN stories can't be read without paying money or using a workaround.
Definitely, the solar price in that article is twice what I paid for my 9.4KW system. I wouldn't have gotten Tesla anyway, even if it was cheaper. This is not the sort of place I'm willing to be an early adopter - once they have proven they have decades of experience, like SMA and others, then maybe. Until then, no way.
A closed ecosystem certainly provides more value to the person that controls the ecosystem, but that's never in an end-user's best interests. Google wants to bring that "benefit" in so they can monetize it, like Apple does. This is not for or about the users, it's for corporate profits, nothing more.
I was getting fraud alerts via SMS for somebody elses bank account for quite awhile. I always replied "NO" - I did not make the charge in question, which is true. Eventually I guess they got tired of getting their card locked or realized the contact info was wrong.
From the article: "100 demonstrators, many with their faces covered, halted construction and vandalized equipment." that is not a protest, that is crime.
Some cars do that automatically - in which case there are tons of complaints about the car turning on the climate control automatically. This is something where you just can't win...
To me, this is not extremely long range, in comparison to a Pactor modem over HF, which can reach over 1000 miles, as I've seen on a sailboat passage from Hawaii to California. It requires more power - 150 watts or so, if I recall correctly, and bit rates can be low as a few bits (not bytes) per second with poor propagation. Being able to stay in contact with family in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is pretty awesome.
syncthing is a great choice, I've been happily using it for 2 or 3 years across Linux, Android, and Windows. I've never had to do anything special to use an SD card on Android.
