I've been at multiple companies that wasted millions courting large enterprise contacts only to not make a single sale. It does make the sales update more exciting though—if we just get this one sale… I can't blame any company for

This is a perfect microcosm of this discussion. You're going to be replaced by robots because they will be better than you at everything but also if they're better than you at anything then that's your personal moral failin

Honestly, thank god. I hope we get more of this and it penetrates the zeitgeist so we can finally bring non-technical people back to earth. Folks, even on HN, are losing their damn minds over this tech. The writing has been on the wall for

My solution to that is to just not keep anything valuable in the car and leave it unlocked. After getting my car window smashed in twice for the thieves to not find anything other than trash I decided this was a better system and haven&#x27

Also the thing not being mentioned anywhere in this thread that is in other reporting is that the Flock partnership is an interface for police to ask the Ring owner to share their footage with police. A thing that police can already do unde

If you know anything about PXE booting then you'll know it needs DHCP. I think it's fine, it's a pretty niche technology. You aren't likely to to find someone downloading it who doesn't know what they're settin

Having ridden in a lot of BYDs when traveling overseas I think you paint too bleak a picture. They're everywhere and reliable enough to seemingly be the preferred cars for uber drivers. Some markets might tax them out of existence bu

Sweet Jesus 1000 miles of range per hour is incredible. It might not technically solve the road trip problem but that's fast enough to make a not even five minute pit stop to get you home. Any range anxiety for intra-city travel is jus

Cheaper than music?! Not while Spotify is around. Assuming my listening stats are accurate I hover around 2¢/hr annually.

Like HN hasn't been railing against Ring and Flock since their inception. The only difference today is that there's a dangerously stupid arm of the government that now has access to it. It's the exact same problem HN has been

I mean I've paid like $18 to efile my state taxes but they haven't taken any of my refund and I get it direct deposited from the IRS. What tax complexities exist for low income people that would cause $200 fees?

Who's spending that much on their taxes? I'm not low income by any means and I've not paid a single dollar to HR Block who does my taxes every year.

Well the falsifiable part of his statement is at least true, median real wages are up in the US. Americans are wealthier than we have been since at least 1980. Especially women, as a group our real wages are basically a straight line up. So

I mean if the standard is the current crop of political ads that are run every two years then, yeah, this makes sense. We've largely accepted that ads are allowed to lie as long as they aren't wholesale made up which encompasses a

I'm not sure if it's your intention but this reads as a strong critique of the technolibertarianism world philosophy that dominates our industry. We lose something by replacing high-trust cooperative systems with ones that are mu

You need it to jump around because your RDS database might fail over to a different AZ. Being able to move workloads around is kinda the point. The need exists irrespective of what you use to deploy your app.

To add to this, even the government isn't sure they can get the case that he intentionally / maliciously started the fire to stick which is why their official complaint is going for recklessness / negligence. The case for mal
