Weather and traffic - fair criticisms. HD Maps - really aren’t as difficult as you’re making them out to be. Most AV companies can update their maps using sensor data from their own fleet. And the cars need to recharge/service at a fac

Agreed - I think it would be better to just compare an overall diet of someone eating more plants vs less plants, then sum up their water usage. I’d have a hard time believing that overall eating fewer animals resulted in higher water usage

Nuts definitely consume a lot of water, but your usage link compares per kg. When you adjust for calories it tells a different story, e.g. Almonds [0] have around 3x more calories per kg than Steak [1]. [0] https://fdc.nal.usda.g

Thanks for the feedback! Will have a think about how to make the "Play demo video" option more obvious. Maybe an additional link under the hero image would be more likely to catch your eye.

We don't handle these very well today, but it's definitely something we could improve (and we do have some plans in the future for better management of .bag files). If you have something specific in mind or can share an example of

Yes - most of our visualizations are aligned with scrubbing through time (with a playback bar, similar to Youtube but with customizable layouts). Some of the visualizations display data over time regardless of the current playback timestamp

Yes, AVS was open sourced by Uber ATG around the same that we open sourced Webviz at Cruise. I haven't used it myself, but from memory at the time we exchanged notes with their team, and I got the impression that Webviz had much more u

You don't have to quit caffeine cold turkey. You can just ramp down from n cups of coffee/day to 1 cup, then switch to n cups of tea/day (black or green) and ramp down to 1 cup, then switch to low-caffeine or caffeine-free te

Sounds accurate from my experience working in fintech (crypto, not banking, but subject to many the same regulations). We would literally have customers with dozens of transactions referring to drug deals, close their account (as required b

You’re right. In my experience, proof of onward travel is usually required by the airline for you to even board the flight, not by immigration officers. I don’t think I have ever had an actual immigration officer ask to see proof of onward

Agreed on the one way flight and immigration. Just book a separate fully refundable flight out of the country, within the required time frame (most countries it's 90 days). You pay extra for fully refundable, but you're not going

It depends what you mean by safety net. Certainly most folks on HN have the safety net of being able to return to work fairly easily whenever they might choose to, including finding remote work. If you mean "individual healthcare in th

Flyway seems like a startup offering a hosted service, so it might be a strange comparison. But if you are familiar with it and care to submit a PR, I'd accept it!

Interesting. My UDM has an option to disable remote sign in (although I have not used it). I guess that may still require cloud SSO but simply disable remote provisioning, in which case that seems like it would solve the vast majority of us
