Why are you posting a disinfo blog on HN? This same blog pushes the lie that Craig Wright is actually Satoshi.

Cryptocurrency makes it much easier to buy and sell drugs online, this is a huge redeeming quality. Even if we assume that we are ideologically opposed to drug trade, we'd be liars to claim that cryptocurrency is useless. It de facto

In this case Amazon apparently advised the finders to open the boxes and donate the stuff. Sounds like free stuff to me.

I suppose in most cases, for most people, this would be a positive externality. You get free stuff. Amazon should just do a better job communicating this.

They are actively being revised in the right direction (which involves more chips). It would be idiotic to worry about EMPs over emissions and crash safety.

What exactly do new ICE BMWs not have old 90s style analog controls for? As far as I can tell, the only things that don't have 90s style analog controls are 2000s digital features like navigation.

At least in the UK there's no point in driving a RHD vehicle unless you frequent McDrive or some very strange parking garage. UK insurance is really terrible, getting European insurance for a RHD vehicle will be a pain in the ass. It&#

When do you need to use that dial while driving? It's exclusively useful for things that you should only do while stationary.

As far as I can tell everything that you would have operated with a button in a 90s car is still operated with a button without any need to look at the screens. They've simply added stuff on top of the existing controls. AC, radio, mas

Not to mention the fact that literally every pilot has an iPad mounted in the cockpit for foreflight. Pilots fucking love touchscreens, avionics just change very slowly.

BMWs have a touch nob clickwheel thing, there is no part of the UX that requires or even strongly encourages you to use the touch functionality.

In many EU countries it's definitely not illegal to use your smartphone while driving. Distracted driving is illegal, but using your smartphone doesn't automatically mean that you were distracted any more or less than using your c

You can look at literally any non-electric BMW to disprove this. Everything important has physical controls. BMW doesn't exist in some world of unicorns, it's a very real carmaker.

by FDSGSG 5y ago
Why are you posting this under an article about BMW? They've done the best job at this out of all the carmakers. You can go buy a brand new 7er, all the important things have physical buttons. The screen is really only there for naviga

At least in theory the government should benefit from economies of scale and do a much better job at planting trees than you ever could.

You don't have any credible argument against a real carbon tax, do you? Only an utter clown would waste time bikeshedding about cryptocurrencies when you could focus on real solutions. E: Can't reply below, but here's a ver

Why is it not relevant if growth of hydropower output has ceased? That seems like a perfectly relevant thing to point out.

Using clean energy for anything still increases the total demand for electricity which is going to result in more dirty energy production no matter what.

Not confusing with the OFAC list. Being on any list makes you a toxic customer. Yes, there are other designations which would carry even worse repercussions.

I can't show evidence, but I don't have to because this is incredibly obvious to anyone with basic banking experience. FWIW It is practically illegal for banks to discuss their AML/KYC practices, nobody is going to go into de

This is very much what the entity list does in practice . Any company listed on the entity list is an incredibly high risk client. Just like a NYT article accusing you of being a terrorist does not carry any official repercussions, it

Of course not, I'm simply pointing out that this certainly places you in the "super high risk" category as far as any KYC procedures go.

This has some meaningful consequences. It makes NSO and any money that has touched NSO poisonous. It's not illegal to touch, but few banks will want to work with you. If you're an employee receiving salary payments from NSO, expec

Does this kill NSO? It seems like they might be too big and interconnected to be able to reasonably survive this.

All this data is so public that offering any kind of removal option is pretty pointless.
