one_more_q··on Tesla's supervised self-driving software gets Dutch okay, first in Europe
First here relates to the first country that approved. Other OEMs already have hands off level two systems, nobody disputes that.

In the US there are insurance companies that will give you a discount for each mile you drive with FSD enabled. That should give you an it’s on the impact…

one_more_q··on Show HN: Controlling 3D models with voice and hand gestures
I have one as well! Sorry no idea what it can be used for nowadays

Absolutely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_8
one_more_q··on A United States of Europe
Agreed with this analysis. From a European who lived in the us my strong believe is that the US needs an electoral system that leads to coalitions. While far from perfect this is way better than the two party system that incentivizes the division in the public.
one_more_q··on Show HN: I made a game to improve my typing speed
Man I love this game so much. Wished there was a typing version of other classics like half life.

one_more_q··on Was Starship’s Stage Zero a Bad Pad?
Wait, them trying out if the concrete alone is strong enough to withstand the launch makes you wonder how close we are? I’m wondering about life support, producing fuel in Mars and a lot of other things, but the floor of the launch stand really does not bother me at all. People love to complain about spaceX and this gave them a great reason.
one_more_q··on British Rail’s short experiment with travelling pubs (2020)
I love that, especially when the giants are playing and tons of people are having a good time when you are on your way home from work. Also funny when they exit in the city and the police immediately greets them and makes them throw away any leftovers ;)

Don't Panic with Mechanics!: Fun and success in the "loser discipline" of engineering studies!

Although I can only reallyvouch for the original German version (Keine Panik vor Mechanik!)

one_more_q··on Why are so many babies born around 8:00 AM? (2017)
Why would that shock you? An epidural has side effects that should be taken into considerations. Plenty of women have kids without any medication…
one_more_q··on The Thorny Problem of Keeping the Internet's Time
Sorry but this is just your opinion. I Listen to tons of very technical podcasts and it works great. If you are interested in technology, check out the omega tau podcast for example.
one_more_q··on Hardening macOS
For a regular user the “petty actors” as you call them are actually scarier. Who wants to have their hard disk encrypted and pay $$$.

The “actually scary stuff” is extremely important, should definitely worked on and improved. It’s important to advocate for that and educate the common user.

But in my opinion for the regular user, this is not an immediate problem.

one_more_q··on Ergo – modern IRC server written in Go
That’s what a bouncer is. And I already used it to solve this problem 20 years ago. The main point back then was of course that nobody steals your username.
