It would be interesting if some kind of active/inductive measurement could be made.

As a human driver, I'm keenly aware of the "close calls" I've had where I've narrowly avoided a probable collision through good decisions and/or reaction times. I'm probably less aware of the times when I've just gotten lucky.

No doubt self-driving companies have internally available data on this stuff. Can't wait til superior performance to human drivers is a major selling point!

This kind of interaction is what I love about HN! :D

For a first gen hardware product this looks promising. Hopefully the overall UX (and particularly the resolution of the screens) lives up to the luxe / high fashion feeling you get from the website.

A big, AFAIK unstated benefit of this device is the potentially positive impact on the reader's posture. Reading-oriented tasks usually place us in a head forward posture, eventually causing musculoskeletal problems (E.G. "tech neck").

This device frees the user to take nearly any position when reading. So at minimum it avoids contributing to poor posture, but could even be worn while the user is in therapeutic positions that lengthen the spine and stretch the front muscles of the neck and core.

Sounds like a great use case for AI-based customer service

The same thing happened to a colleague of mine in ATL just a month or so ago, so it seems the practice is longstanding and current.

Note that it's private parking companies, not municipal agencies, doing the booting.

This could work if you base the format on something other than theaters: make it an experience similar to a karaoke room, escape room, or even Top Golf.

You'd have a private or semi-private space to share with a group of friends, get food and beverage service, and view/participate in the VR experience simultaneously as a group.

The price point would be higher than a typical movie, but would support the greater hardware, facility, and service costs.

I appreciate the response and will take some time to peruse those articles.

I have limited experience as a manager, but I'm starting a new SAAS company and one of our priorities is to establish a humane and engineer-friendly culture.

I'm very curious to hear more about your approach. Do you happen to have any blog posts describing your management style?

Sorry for your loss of your beloved grandfather.

Sounds like our grandfathers might have gotten along; mine had much the same spirit and ingenuity you described. Hopefully some of that is passed on to us :)

I'm curious what type of company has these team demographics. Startup, agency, SMB, bigcorp, academia, or?

The old timey steakhouse standard-- and they're delicious on a hot summer day.

I've always suspected the humble iceberg wedge salad is a restauranteur's ideal menu item: take a 50¢ head of lettuce, divide it into quarters, add toppings and sell it for a 60x or more markup.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had the highest margin of all the items on the menu :)

That use case perfectly describes the needs of the SAAS product my team is building. We have tons of domain specific features we want to build, and anything that frees up dev time for that work gets a look.

While I haven't yet seen the pricing for your link or the OP, this seems like a case where there aren't many negative tradeoffs.

This worked for me for awhile. Eventually it becomes necessary to pair them by level of wear, which is tedious, but you can cull the worst from the pile, or start over with an entirely new bunch.

I'd say it's an act of aggression, but the line of "act of war" is still further off given the fact it was an unmanned aircraft.

Hopefully the RF will think twice before similarly harrassing an American pilot, which would be much closer to, if not crossing, that line.

Correct. Just a tough crowd tonight I guess.

My wife and I are looking for a house, and the lack of options is extremely dispiriting.

I sure wish they'd distribute less of it to my city

In the example shown in the photos (not the illustrations) of TFA, the awkwardness of the design comes from trying to compress the aggressive/sporty front end shapes of Mercedes' current line of ICE models into the smooth silhouette of a range-optimized EV blob.

There's a lot of visual conflict between the two motifs, as shapes that normally have boxy, sculptural depth get squashed down into basically 2D features on the surface of the smoothed out, mouse-like volume of the overall package.

The designers seem to have been stuck with the assignment of putting a Mercedes mask onto a wide, flattened jellybean. The result is mostly successful from the side views, but seems pinched and overwrought from the front.

Additionally, some of the grille shapes on the front are likely vestigal, as EVs don't require the same ventilated cooling as combustion engines. Much to the frustration of car designers, one of the key identifying features of any brand has historically been the design of the now obsolete front grille; the functional purpose that served as an aesthetic starting point is now gone. (You can trace the gradual acceptence of grille obsolescence in the evolution of Tesla's designs.)

Could you please explain more about why you would prefer those specific controls to be touch based? Is it to have the possibility of finer-grained adjustment?

For me, wipers and audio volume are controls I want to be able to access immediately and without taking my eyes off the road, as they sometimes need to be used with urgency. (For example, turning down high volume to reduce distraction or activating wipers to clear a sudden downpour.)

Nothing I've said precludes the possibility of a prismatic and adaptive identity, nor surprising your audience.

Nor did I say having a deep, single or inflexible identity or persona is necessarily a bad thing.

I think you need to get in more. These types of characters certainly exist, and incongruous juxtapositions are often entertaining and sometimes enlightening.

Interesting! Sounds like you have a well insulated structure. One other aspect, however, is the effect on the outdoor spaces on the sunny side of the house. You might find that they are warmer due to the increased radiant heat absorbtion and emission of the dark surfaces.

Grays have been a significant trend for years now, in everything from houses to furnishings to cars.

In my city in the Southeastern US (and others from what I see on social media), the dominant colors for high end house remodels are dark gray or stark white. So it's not infrequent to see a charcoal gray house with a couple of putty gray cars parked out front.

From the standpoint of reducing solar heat gain and fuel/utility usage, it's a terrible trend.

Thanks for sharing your initial success and description of your process. Your product and landing page looks really solid! (Safari, MacOS, Desktop)

This was written by Justine Musk a long while ago; I can't remember the date. She refers to Talulah Riley as Musk's new fiancé, but at present he has been married and divorced from the actress twice.

I'm aware of, and agree with, the points you've so clearly articulated. But to my mind, being blissfully unaware of the context of one's material success is an example of naivety.

The equally naive "follow your bliss" or "follow your passion" was the common coming of age advice given by many middle and upper-middle class American baby boomers to their children.
