Yeah, I have insurance with 'Flyaway Coverage'. Still have to pay a fee and there's a limit to the number of claims you can make over a time period but it's a lot cheaper than buying a new drone.

Maybe not weird or surreal enough for HN. But I am amazed by the stability and quality of videos from my drone. It's just amazing that I could easily fly a kilometer away whilst having a live feed of the footage being streamed back to

I think that may be the style of the older generation - remember my grandparents doing this when I first started using a computer. Also, I never actually use it personally but a double space on a Mac keyboard automatically enters a period a

Would it really benefit Amazon though? If Stripe are already putting hundreds of millions through AWS, they'd essentially be losing a large customer by buying them.

I zoomed in, was also disappointed. Don't know the use case for these photos, but when you compare it to the quality of say a drone photo, SkyFi is nowhere near as good. I'm sure there must be a market for these photos, but for mo

I suspect they aren't getting rid of the talent. It's more likely to be a fat trimming exercise. The market has reacted in the way you'd expect, share price is currently up 4.3% today. It's easy to use the recession to r

Was looking for comparisons with the M1 too, they do briefly do a few further down - but I'm guessing it's not worth the upgrade.

Last year we all got a £100 gift card that could be used at a number of retailers, plus a choice of two hampers - one containing alcohol, the other not (contained chocolate, popcorn etc. and yes some company branded items too). Can't r

I've also been contacted by them recently, definitely still reaching out.

Agree I think you're either in it for the money or the tech, but sadly it seems those two are too tightly linked.

What did you use it for? Agree on the intros, I have a DJI drone but have no idea how I'd use this software. Does it install on my controller, do I fly in a special way?

Man was always intended as being gender neutral anyway: >The term man (from Proto-Germanic *mann- "person") and words derived from it can designate any or even all of the human race regardless of their sex or age. In traditiona

It's also quite annoying it never finished, sounded like they were on to something then it just stopped.

I agree to some extent, but there are far too many shitcoins out there and people think it's all a 'get rich quick scheme'. There's also lots of bad press about crypto scams, we have things like Terra and other stablecoi

Permanent new starters get new MacBooks, contractors get the MacBooks returned by leavers. When the devices are 3+ years old they're used as spares. Beyond that they're either sold to staff, recycled or given to charity.

From the tech side, I'd say Amazon and Facebook are by far the most frequent to reach out on LinkedIn asking if I want a job compared to other big tech companies.

You typo'd Algolia. https://hn.algolia.com/ I use them too, they are great for search. One thing I miss from Reddit though is the ability to sort comments. Yesterday during the Okta incident, I was trying to find new c

I have my own self hosted VPN, but I am a fan of Windscribe too, they offer a free VPN which I'd personally trust. I do pay for it, but wouldn't have any concerns recommending it. They actually wrote an article explaining how&#x2F

Have you found that any web crawlers have tried accessing your subdomain? Wondering if services like Google or Shodan may have tried querying it and causing your server to turn on?

How can they offer that for free!? I'm sure in GCP's Always Free tier the server they offer only has 0.5GB RAM.

Still means it's worth paying for a VPN then, either way!

Many VPN providers advertise themselves specifically as being able to get around Netflix restrictions, or if not directly they pay YouTubers or websites to mention it in an ad. VPNs are definitely making heavy use of residential IPs now, th

Probably massively oversimplifying things here, but why does the government have to provide us pensions anyway? Can't they just reduce the tax we pay and instead state that everyone is responsible for their own pensions, so if you save

I don't like the fact that the prices can wildly differ between different TLDs. I think it was nice that it was easy to recognise website.com was a website too, whereas website.wtf is less easy to identify, but then now there are more

I have exactly the same problem, I've used Notes, I've used Trello and eventually settled on Notion. I tried out some complicated templates, tried making my own but in the end I've gone back to a pretty unorganised Trello sty
