Tangential but why do articles about Flock never have (YC S17) in the title like articles about other YC companies?

I have one of these $2000 SD cards in my Diamond DA40. It lets me connect my iPad to my aircraft so I can transfer updated databases, flight plans, and see real time avionics data. It's pretty cool.

It was awful having to use AOL dialup in the UK. My parents used it (it was one of the few ISPs with freephone) so I was stuck with it. The problem was AOL routed all traffic through Virginia. For someone in the UK that meant a minimum of ~130ms ping, ruining online games and making everything super slow

As a Model Y owner, the lack of a service interval is really annoying. I want to pay Tesla to make sure my car stays safe and reliable, but I can't.

Sure, you can optimize for different things. You could argue that the best way to travel alone is by private jet. You get there quickly and in luxury, with a birds-eye view, and have food and drinks served the whole way by your chef. It's all subjective.

As an avid player I can confirm that all commands would execute. So if you were next to a vendor, you'd see the buy menu, but also if a criminal was nearby they'd have the guards summoned on them at the same time.

What time does school finish and why isn't getting home a similar issue?

This is so common in consumer tech. Is there a name for it? Like how any new TV has horrible motion interpolation and sharpening enabled by default, or the bassiness of Bose/Beats headphones.

Just curious, can you give an example?

Though the Youtuber's deepfake is a deepfake overlaid on Hollywood's attempt, so all of the lighting and motion capture acting is already done.

This is Openreach we're talking about. Everything happens in 6 month intervals. So those 18 months were likely: 6 months to realize there's a problem, 6 months to assign a contractor to the ticket, 6 months before their next availability for the job.

Which is weird, because something traveling at 1000kts at 100ft seems scarier than something doing 1000kts at 60000ft.

From the picture in the article the cleaning looks like it worked

It's also exactly what Apple is doing in this situation

There are other Arab countries. Most people know what is meant by "Saudi" even if it's technically not correct

The Tecnam P2008 has a 12v socket and it's a rare luxury in an otherwise awful plane. Most single engine piston aircraft don't have charging ports or 12v sockets.

It's surprising that GPS signals are that important to these displays. I figured they use GPS to provide a rough center of the display, for the "leader" drone, and the other drones would position themselves relative to their leader using some local peer-to-peer positioning signals.

Then again, I know nothing about this.

> How are loot boxes any different to Kinder eggs

That's an interesting question! At first I thought they were pretty similar, but I had a think about this, and there are several key differences:

* With loot boxes, you can often trade the items that you won

* Loot boxes often show you the rarity (and sometimes the value) of an item that you've won.

* Loot boxes often show a spinning wheel or similar device that adds a level of excitement and a feeling of a "near miss" by showing the wheel "almost" land on an item.

* Some loot boxes allow you to "roll again" if you're not happy with the item you received.

* Loot boxes play sounds and show effects depending on the rarity of the item won.

* Loot boxes are given out for free, but you have to buy a "key" to open them.

* Games with loot boxes emphasize items that can be won from them, and encourage players to display these items for in-game prestige.

* Some loot box items give you an in-game advantage.

* Loot boxes are not edible.

Transphobia isn’t subversion, it’s just a cheap way to get a laugh from a 1970s audience

I also experience this phenomenon. In learning a language, I like to think of Anki as the primer stage in learning a word. I have to encounter and recognize that word in the wild for the memory to be fully solidified. I'll often go back to my Anki card and add a note of where I encountered it IRL, and that usually makes that card stick for good.

Penalty points also disproportionately affect the poor, who are more likely to depend on their driving license for their income

It seems to be a variant on LGBTQ. Except I guess with "Homosexual" replacing "Lesbian and Gay".

If the bug were responsibly disclosed to Microsoft, there'd be no proof of concept in the wild, available for anyone to integrate into their ransomware.

Instead, intelligence agencies irresponsibly hold onto them. And so they get leaked at best, or at worst end up in the wrong hands.

Does this mean LG is violating the FCC requirement that a device must accept interference?

Very naive question: won't bacteria lose their resistance after a while? What if we cycle certain antibiotics on an annual basis? When we reintroduce them, they'll be more powerful. Right?

I remember when any attempted access to c:\con\con would bluescreen any windows machine. Hours of teenage fun sending people to a website I'd set up with <img src="file://c:\con\con">
