I’m looking on the Chargepoint App and I see some CHAdeMO DC Fast in both Springfield and Bloomington. They tend to be in strip mall parking lots near Home Depots and Walmarts. That said having a CCS adapter working is very interesting and

It’s shifts like that, going from a copyleft to a copyright crowd, that make me increasingly suspicious the HN is authentic as it was years ago. Another weird one is the socialism lean instead of more libertarian ideals by many commentators

I’m wrong about CCS, can’t edit this long after so replying here to myself to clarify. I’m dumb, of course I always see CHAdeMO because my charger app is set to that for DC fast. Duh … a friend said unset filters and yeah there are more CCS

It’s wired and very finicky. Basically a 10 year old solution to this problem. I have on in my collection. It’s cool but not really useful or in same tier as the other products being mentioned.’

For some reason when I charge at public chargers a very common vehicle next to me are those Chevy Bolts. If you’ve never compared them side by side you will be surprised, the Leaf is a MUCH nicer car, the Bolts just look way cheaper and low

by alchemist1e9 1y ago
Ignoring any PR or political motivations, I’d argue the Leaf is a better choice for many people. I’m biased as I have one, quite similar, but let me give a pros from my perspective: - a traditional car feeling, knobs, buttons, the way cars

When I wrote that it seems I needed to give more context for those who don’t understand the benefits of self custody Bitcoin. 0.1% is fee to convert to USD and in context of converting anything to USD, like stocks or anything one would hold

And how did you come to that conclusion? From all the money laundering done by the traditional banks for the cartels once they bribe the right AML personnel?

Steak N Shake accepts Bitcoin, both on-chain and via Lightning Network. Paypal has USD savings accounts that pay interest, ACH support, and also issues standard credit cards if you like. On top of that they support multiple major cryptocurr

What is complicated? It takes seconds on my phone, must less complicated than writing a comment on HN! The processing fees are lower for vendors than credit card fees if they accept LN Bitcoin. For me the “savings” account is completely sel

You are obviously completely unaware of the popularity of Paypal, CashApp, Venmo within the general US population and of Square for POS by vendors. The value proposition for everyone, consumer and vendors is both lower fees and ability to e

What banks are those? The debit card issuer is a non-bank issuer on the Visa payment network. LN coins are self custody origin coins. No banks I see, except the grocery store’s on the other side of me. But soon they will accept LN directly

So many of the crypto skeptic comments on this story are massively out of touch with the products and sophistication of the crypto industry. For those of us who aren’t, the question has basically been flipped to “what does a bank add to thi

I have a Frame and it’s not so great, the prism interferes too much with your vision. You can do images on the Frame. I’m optimistic that Brilliant Labs latest iteration might be better - Halo. They are great at being open source and open d

It’s a bit of a hobby of mine to investigate wearables for HUD purposes so I have tested Engo 2 among others I would mention that something neat about Active Look’s is they publish all their Bluetooth protocol and have open source libraries

And these are the same quantum computers that will eventually break ecliptic curve cryptography? Now I’m very confused.

Yes what a great strategy to embrace the failed ideas of socialism! You realize support among hispanics will drop to almost zero with that strategy because they know from experience in Latin and South America that such crazy ideas bring not

It’s incorrect that proprietary trading has negative externalities. It’s also exhausting trying to explain that to an audience that has fundamental misconceptions about economics, financial systems, and monetary systems, so I don’t think I

Anyone have thoughts on Purism’s Liberty Phone? Looks like it’s an upgraded Librem 5 of sorts.

It does and I’ve been hoping to see more discussion around best registrars from a domain security perspective. I looked into CSC (cscglobal.com) since it’s what a lot of big companies use, but it’s crazy expensive ($5K+/yr). Even worse

Was looking for a mention of git-annex and I completely agree. I’ve used it extensively and have found it works really well. Any ideas why it isn’t more popular and more well known?

This is about security cameras at work sites and businesses. What does this have to do with WFH? However while we are on the topic I don’t see why governments should impose any restrictions on businesses using monitoring systems on their WF
