Ninn··on Tuna sells for $1.8M in first Tokyo auction of 2020
It's amazing how this keeps generating something news worthy. As I understand it it is entirely symbolic and not really something that carries the described value?
Ninn··on The Ecosystem Is Moving [video]
He is referencing end to end encryption. Google can see Your to/from/subject/metadata headers even if you bother to use gpg
Ninn··on Retailers Don’t Like Paying the Fees for Apple Card
No, in the EU the user and retailer directly pay all fees, and the size of the fees and transparency is regulated.
Ninn··on New airplane seat design to make it easier to sleep in economy
Personally i dont feel like the flipping head rests provides enough support, to my head at all, and even less enough to support my bosy, so i really think the design here has some merits in this regard!
Ninn··on "Google Stadia is not a product that exists because people want it"
>I do not want to rent my computer nor i want to rent my gaming device

It's almost like you fully ignored the previous comments.. A lot of people may want to do exactly that, and are less bothered by other aspects, which you may appreciate and prioritise?

Ninn··on The Decline of Stack Overflow
There's plenty of high quality questions that go unanswered for ever. So I don't think you should flatter your self with this analysis. At least great moderation can generally help with low quality questions.
Ninn··on Software made me loathe my car
The vat is based on the import/manufacture price, and not the retail price, that you pay in other countries.
Ninn··on Software made me loathe my car
On vehicles in which you can change the infotainment yeah. But this doesnt really go well for the tesla.

In addition, to my knowledge older Volkswagen AG vehicles are ripe for replacing the infotainment with a newer, carplay enabled system, but on newer models it seems that it is rather locked down and not as easy a solution as you suggest.

Ninn··on Recap of the `funding` experiment
In my mind this is a problem that must be solved at a packagemanager level, where its both possible to dynamically allocate consumer money based on utilisation/download distrubutions, and other allocation factors, such as more sentimental ones.

In addition i think that just installing a module and then starting to recieve funding is a bad carrot, as i can already feel the drama of people who will refuse to give up abandoned packages and namespaces, just to claim their funding. If you had it a bit more centralised you could atleast punish that kind of behaviour and make people responsible if they want to participate in the ecosystem of payouts.

Ninn··on Now Bigger Than eBay, Shopify Sets Its Sights on Amazon
Still not working.
Ninn··on 2020 Honda E Has 148 HP and More Than 221 LB-FT
This looks like it's the size of an e-UP!, not a e-Golf or ID.3? The Golf size is around 2 classes up from the UP
Ninn··on Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles
The only reason the A3 still has a non-touchscreen is due to the fact that it's still running a rather old platform, which is outdated compared to the Golf, Leon -- the new A3 landing this year won't have dials.
Ninn··on Apple Pro Display XDR
Cooperate and developers is a mass market, and I sure am the target segment. But 1k stand is for sure taking a piss on us. You can't just deflect valid criticism...
Ninn··on WordPress 5.2: Mitigating Supply-Chain Attacks
Soo, almost exactly like the Apple Store works? But just without a high performance database.
Ninn··on Facebook has been paying people to install a “Research” VPN
No that is absurd, this is standard practice for almost all enterprise setups, as a central component in the deep packet inspection solutions used in network security. So the chance of it being illegal as the user has agreed to participate is absurd. The only thing that would make it so would be to lie about the functionality and intrusiveness.
Ninn··on Android vendors, don’t kill my app
Would it be possible to detect that the app was killed while engaged in such a situration as yours, i.e. similar how to systemd detects killed apps with a keepalive ping written to the fs while engaged.

Then on the next boot explain that you detected this, and guide the user to OP's page? Or is it way more complicated than so?

Microstartup? Do you mean just a webpage, which is exclusively not a startup/buisness?
Ninn··on Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Could Replace Traffic Lights, Shorten Commutes
If someone has access to control an ECU on your can bus you are just as bad off as you would be in the case you worry about. And on top of that i promise you the ECUs in modern cars are not works of art with good error handling. But consider that there are many currently unemployed technologies that can work to make for example the sharing of sensory data signed and trusted, for example by deploying technologies which apple uses today with great success amongst others?
Ninn··on Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Could Replace Traffic Lights, Shorten Commutes
In regards to German and otherwise European cars, I've never seen or heard of a modern car operating on anything other than a "high speed" CAN bus, with anything lower than 250Kbit/s and all the way up to 1 Mbit/s. While some cars do have two separate busses this is in no way a standard, and neither of those would necessarily be a fault tolerant one. Nor am I sure who your source might supply, but none the less, I feel like your trust in the quality of modern cars and their components might be a bit misguided.

How do you figure?

Ninn··on You Should Use VS Code If You're a Python Developer
I'm sure there are areas where perl applies very well, being a good python editor/IDE is not one of them.

Nothing warrants a snarky comment on a super unrelated subject, this article has nothing to do with solving a domain specific area where perl would excel more than python or any other language.

Ninn··on You Should Use VS Code If You're a Python Developer
I gave PyCharm a go just about a year ago. Honestly, i think the UI in just about all of the JetBrains products are super sluggish and laggy and very long start up times, even on the top end Macbook Pros, especially compared to the experience that VS Code manages to provide. And on top of that i feel like there's already more useful extensions in VS Code.

GDPR doesn't mean that you cannot show advertisement. Just means you have to actually be responsible and not abusive as many content providers with ads are.

Ninn··on Show HN: Identify a spoken language using a CNN
My comment is not a "shallow dismissal" of the work presented. In fact i have created solutions for the exact same problem in a similar way. The comment was exclusively pointing out that the solution and tools used in it, should not be classified as AI.
