Uber/Lyft offer a better service. Most importantly is reviews/ratings of drivers and riders. But also things like real time tracking of incoming ride, frictionless payments, even just inputting you destination in a map instead o

Isn't that just supply and demand finding the market price for something?

Marriott doesn't own their hotels, they lease them from third party owners. I would wager that Hilton is doing the same.

Even just backing up your shit to the cloud is way nicer with good upload. Its also a bit of a chicken egg situation. If the majority of internet users had good upload maybe some "killer" p2p apps would be developed.

What does "scientifically substantiated" mean to you?

That's fair assuming that developers put in the effort to write the less fancy version. But if they don't I'd prefer to still have the option to run the software as written with worse performance.

Whether a system "just works" or it requires finagling is or should be an orthogonal discussion to whether it respects you as a user. Its reasonable to ask for both.

An operating system that actually empowered you would give you the tools and options to prevent that, while also letting you run whatever software you desired. I will never understand people's desire to be handcuffed by Apple. Give me

Do you think that a nuclear physicist writing graphics software rather than doing nuclear physics was a net win for society in the long term?

If it became that common it would quickly cease to be that effective. Spearfishing works because it's rare, so it doesn't automatically set off your bullshit detector. Most people don't fall for "cheap vi@gra" emai

A support agents time was saved because every annoying step like that causes x% of people to just give up.

I'd argue that has less to do with the merit of cameras and more to do with how little police care about stolen bikes compared to stolen credit cards.

Cool stuff, thanks for the info! I'll watch the videos when I'm no longer on a metered connection. I've always found the physics and technology behind radio fascinating but was never really clear what sort of activities amate

So what do you do exactly as a ham? Like what does a typical ham session look like for you?

What? Are we reading the same article? As far as I can tell this new rule caps fees at 10%, it doesn't say anything about charging whatever they want, while being more transparent or disclosing the fees more clearly.

I find the ddg search results load faster and are better indexed than the MDN built-in search, same goes for most sites that do their own indexing and are also indexed on big search engines.

That's a messaging/marketing issue, which we regulate all the time. It would be better and fairer to legislate that GrubHub and others must be clear about where their pricing comes from rather than legislating what their prices sh

W3Schools and now TutorialsPoint. While they're not bad per say, they;re never detailed enough of a reference. 99% of my webdev searches are now "mdn <topic>" as MDN is typically the most detailed resource on the topic

I find HN has a bias against anything that hurts advertising and user tracking revenue. AMP and Brave seem to get a disproportionate amount of attention.

Only for those left behind, time dilation is magic. As per wikipedia: > a constant 1 g acceleration would permit humans to travel through the entire known Universe in one human lifetime So it's really only a challenge of propulsion.

Ah that's my fault then. About 2/3 of the way through the article something loaded or shifted as nobody can resist the urge to highjack scrolling and I lost the rest of the text so I stopped reading.

My understanding is moving electricity into a battery is much more efficient than using it to break water into hydrogen.

by admax88q 6y ago
Hydrogen production is almost entirely produced from fossil fuels currently. Its not really a low carbon energy source unless electrolysis can be made much more efficient. Its a shame this article didn't examine the production side of

OoenID Connect is different. Its basically just OAuth2, and google/fb require the ap developer to register their app with google/fb in order to authenticate users. Whcih is pretty bad for both developers and users, as a user I can

I was under the impression that WhatsApp pretty aggressively bans accounts using third party clients. How did you get around this? Or is it not an issue afterall?

by admax88q 6y ago
OpenID would have done it, but Facebook and Google neutered it in favour of OAuth so they could cement themselves as primary players.

I'm sure there are fingerprint libraries that include every possible API that the browser provides. Does MIDI provide a good fingerprint alone? Probably not, but it can serve as a few more bits of information thrown into the mix when
