f137··on Don't Buy Anyone an Echo
Do you ever use a tv remote?
f137··on How Adversarial Attacks Work
What would you do if confused by the road signs? A car could 1) see what other drivers doing 2) ask them - and this is easies with v2v 3) ask some central authority owe the air
f137··on Two scientists quietly revolutionising the study and practice of interrogation
What is a reasonably person?
f137··on Automotive Grade Linux Platform Debuts on the 2018 Toyota Camry
You mean there are cars where windshield wipers, high beams, turn signals are operated by touchscreen?
f137··on A village where little girls turn into boys aged twelve (2015)
> or just that there is a strong connection between sex and gender.

incredible

who would think that?

f137··on It’s time to balance the power between workers and employers
It's 100 years this November since a well-known fix to this balance was initiated. Anyone wants to repeat it?
f137··on North Korea nuclear test: Hydrogen bomb 'missile-ready'
Russia's position is "Nk is sonovabitch, but it trolls US, let's support it"
f137··on AdNauseam – Clicking Ads So You Don't Have To
What did you expect, really? Most people are assholes online, and HN is no exception.
f137··on Facebook with Adblocker makes 2000+ requests
this
f137··on Intel buying Mobileye for up to $16B to expand in self-driving tech
Bullshit. Mobileye dumped Tesla after they used the Mobileye tech for the aims it was not designed for, causing those crashes.
f137··on Airbnb is providing free housing to refugees and anyone not allowed in the US
Nice test.

I wonder how many of the people protesting the entry ban will offer their flats for free to the refugees?

f137··on The True Size of Countries
Cool!

One suggestion and one complaint.

I'd like to be able to select countries by clicking, rather than text input.

After a couple minutes playing, the site filled firefox history with tens of entries, and I could not return to HN even after hitting back several dosen times.

f137··on Battery technology may emerge as a trillion-dollar threat to credit markets
The logic is backward, actually.

The low risk that any breakthrough in batteries would happen IS the reason for the vast amount of securities dependent on it.

f137··on Revenue from self-driving Teslas only allowed through the Tesla Network
It does not matter, really. We will never see a fully autonomous car from Tesla, for the simple reason that this is still a few years away, and Tesla will go bankrupt or will be sold within 2-3 years.
f137··on Revenue from self-driving Teslas only allowed through the Tesla Network
So do you really suggest that tesla's going to refuse an order of 100000 cars by Uber?
f137··on The foreign words that seem like English, but aren't
Well, "face control" in Russian has nothing to do with beauty of the people entering a club. The aim of "face control" is to make sure that no people that might possibly cause some trouble, or unable to pay, get into a nightclub or the like.

Not sure if explanations of the words from other languages are similarly misleading.

f137··on Paper Planes
so do I
f137··on Smaller and faster data compression with Zstandard
Probably nictpicking but "Smaller data compression" makes no sense really
f137··on Flash and Chrome
Not only that. I believe the main purpose of the whole war agains flash is to kill the online games ecosystem, from which neither Apple nor Google make profit, and move gamers to appstores.
f137··on Flash and Chrome
No, there is not a simple way to convert flash to html5. I say from experience, we look for it for years.

Moreover, you can rewrite a game in html5 from scratch, if it is simple enough, but it will be slower, less smooth, and require some latest browser versions to run at all.

f137··on Flash and Chrome
I wonder, does anybody here plays online games? I wonder, further, is there anyone who thinks HTML5 is even close to Flash for games creation?
f137··on I Am Alex St. John’s Daughter, and He Is Wrong About Women in Tech
You mean a new job, or a new wife?
f137··on HN: Please add Reddit style collapsible comments
Yes, please do it
f137··on How Google’s Web Crawler Bypasses Paywalls
I wonder if anybody tried to do as suggested? I copied the files to Chrome as per instructions, and the paywall was still in place.
f137··on On Google's self-driving car acident rates
250,000 miles on average between accidents? Does anybody think this is unbelievably high number?
f137··on Show HN: Avremu – An 8-Bit Microcontroller in Pure LaTeX
We need more of this.
f137··on Sony Digital Paper e-ink PDF tablet for notes and forms
It's not a Russian, but a Ukrainian company.
f137··on Flappy Bird by the Numbers
your link is broken
f137··on Solution claimed for Navier-Stokes equations, one of the millennium problems
Well, just to put it in some context. The paper was published in the Eurasian Mathematical Journal, of which the author is the editor-in-chief.
f137··on The Writings of Leslie Lamport
A seminal study. It's a pity they did not publish a follow-up on the selection criteria (or did they?)
