Or Apple with their 1984 ad.

Excellent comment. Agree completely - the point of camping is to immerse yourself in nature.

One doesn't interpret "self-driving". The definition of self driving is something that drives itself. Period. Adding "full" in front of it makes it emphatic. It's the same as saying something is "free" or "completely free".

There's no nuance here. He's lying in his marketing. Even a Musk fanboy can't argue that

I'm not saying it isn't good, it just isn't what he claims it is.

That's precisely what they are doing. They don't care about hate speech. If they did, they wouldn't have Trump ads on the YouTube banner.

This is justification to get rid of apps they don't like.

In my experience (multiple clients in rural area) low speed (1.5 Mbps) with low (50 to 80 ms) latency will outperform 40Mbps/800 ms latency connections for video.

Web browsing, of course, isn't really affected by latency.

I'd assume latency from endpoint to satellite back to terrestrial base station.

I can get satellite Internet right now with 40Mbps down / 5 up, but the latency is 800 to 1000 ms, so it's slow.

It's not financially subsidized in Canada. My wife and I pay several thousand more in taxes than if we were roommates.

I've always thought that was a great disincentive to marriage if one were logical.

I agree. Zuckerberg's greed has no limits. He can rationalize anything as long as he wins.

The money Trump and company have made from gaming the stock market is insane.

It should take one really good "lecturer" and then a bunch of TAs. The TAs would be lower paid off course. Would it be fewer overall all? Maybe not, but salaries would change.

Tipping isn't racist or sexist any more than language is, but you can have sexist or racist tippers.

I won't eat at a restaurant that decides I must pay X% tip. I occasionally get tips at work when I do outstanding service, and it's awesome but not required. I pay tips on the same way.

How well does that work? (The micropayment system.)

During WW1 and WW2 people went off to war to die or at best come back scarred from the experience, or people sent loved ones off to war. They grew victory gardens. They lived with shortages.

They survived. For years. A few months of lockdown/masks/distancing and we're crying like babies.

Come on. Life's tough. Wear a helmet (or in this case, a mask).

I like tower defense games, but it's a crowded market. You'll probably need better graphics or really amazing gameplay.

One thing that's critical in my book: "Normal" mode should beat new players regularly until they get the hang of the game. It's boring to win easily. I'd go Android and give the first x levels for free rather than in game purchases.

Edit: typo

One click to close, one click for reader mode. And amount of effort so I'll read the article. Well worth it, too.

The National Post is Canada's Fox News. Read at your peril

An observation and a question:

1) I'm glad I don't have this guy as a doctor. 2)If it's not a big deal, why is he wearing a mask in the picture? Catch covid-19, rub some dirt on it, and move on. If you die, you were going to anyway.

Says the person who isn't 80. You're mind bogglingly unaware of perspectives outside your own.

I have noticed that the downvoting seems to be getting more pronounced and often what I would consider to be uneducated opinions are gaining strength on HN. (IE people who don't agree with me.) :)

I'm a newbie, but the reason I came here was for more signal than noise and several times in the last months I've considered looking for new places because the comment quality is slipping.

Looks very impressive, but it seems cripplingly expensive.

I don't play with this much, but when I use my green screen, I'm often doing 15 minute videos, so it is well out of my hobby budget.

+1. Love to know age, weight and dosages people are taking. (And biological sex, if you feel comfortable.)

That's a truly silly comment. Based on that there should only be one grocery store to shop at and one place to work.

To be fair, the reason we have governments is to make our lives better. Legislation to help citizens is the point of government.

If you want/need a robot to walk your dog, then you shouldn't have a dog.

Renewable isn't really accurate for wood, at least not in human time scales. A maple takes about 25 years to mature. It's about three maple trees to a cord. Assuming 5 cords per winter, we're talking 375 trees before the first tree cut can be reharvested (assuming it was replanted immediately). That doesn't into account soil depletion and carbon release.

When I saw the footage in the Watchmen, I thought it was a made-up event for the TV show. I was appalled to discover it really happened.

I also think it's worrisome that this was posted 4 hours ago and mine is the first comment on it.

I get that there is a anti-political stuff sentiment on hacker News and that makes sense but this still needs to be discussed.

There's a significant difference between making a mistake and shooting someone in the back or choking him to death.

I think this is more of black = Night and night=scary.

But it could be seen as tone deaf right now.

Actually, they are possibly rare. Rareness is a percentage, so as long as only 1% or less of planets are earth like, that's rare, even if there are millions of them.

I read something like this and I think, "this person is a psychopath". So order to "save" the economy (which is a social construct designed to serve the people) you would happily kill a family member? How many would you sacrifice before it was too much?
