I agree 100%, and I also think Force Touch doesn't get the attention it deserves. To me the 2015 Macbook Pro is the pinnacle of laptop engineering because it added the Force Touch touchpad. Being able to click anywhere on the pad and c

The phenomenon also results in huge costs that the individual ends up imposing on society. I'm not saying that means the substance must be banned. But clearly there's a difference between freedom of speech/association, and fr

Thanks for the correction. I'm not in this industry, so still learning and dialing in my terminology :)

They are undercutting. Online brokerages like Redfin and Opendoor are challenging the 6% fee. Their success has led to the "standard" fee now being 5% in many markets, but if you use these platforms on both the seller and buyer si

If she adds value and the price is really market clearing, then surely she will thrive without the monopoly on brokerage that real estate agents have achieved. Personally, I have seen what real estate agents do, I refuse to pay their fees,

I appreciate your style note, but I think you should really follow your own advice (look at the style of your own comment). If you don't fly the airplane in question for a living, it's perhaps best not to make categorical statemen

Atlanta is already changing to a "car-free utopia" that you're dismissing. Many neighborhoods around Midtown, Inman Park, and several MARTA stations are both more walkable and in enormously higher demand than 20 years ago.

Millions of people around America get their kids around the neighborhood just fine without a car. If you continue to insist that cities be designed around your limited vision, then you should be forced to pay for the full externalities of y

Not all, no. HomeKit and ZWave don't require an Internet connection. I use a bunch of ZWave devices connected via Ethernet through a Raspberry Pi with hassio and a ZWave USB adapter - controlled from my phone when it connects to my wif

Thanks for the thorough explanation. This is the first and only one that I've seen that makes complete sense. Hopefully you can publish it somewhere!

Southwest has more 737max than anyone else. However they have outfitted it with an optional avionics package that includes a HUD, an additional AoA sensor and indicator in the HUD and PFD, and an "AoA disagree" indicator light. (

Wow. This is pretty ridiculous considering all three of these planes seem to have been closer to their destination than the origin, making it safer to just finish the planned flight.

Yeah, I think your opinion that Red Hat leads the way in the technical foundations of Linux is quite controversial. From my experience, Ubuntu is significantly more developer friendly and better documented than Red Hat products. Linux is us

U2F is fundamentally quite a bit more secure than TOTP - you probably already know this, but just to clarify for those reading.

I agree it's annoying. They're working on it, but they should have really enabled it sooner. There's no technical reason, iPhone has the necessary NFC hardware. https://www.wired.com/story/yubikey-lightni

I imagine that part could be mitigated nowadays with ventilation and HEPA filters, no? As an aside, I'm floored by the wholesomeness of this whole thread. It's inspiring.

150 mbps can be managed easily by an Archer C7 or one of many other QCA ar71xx based routers, which can be picked up for under $50 nowadays. The Netgear R7800, while a bit more expensive ($150), is still cheaper than the price you mention,

This is very cool. I hope you get some cool uses out of this. What's the max frame rate you can get out of the cameras (without tiling)? Are you able to control focus and camera gain?
