   Yea, so fucking cool. Also worth noting that this was on a closed course with a known track... That makes everthing a lot easier. Update: I never saw this video, very cool thanks!

   While I hate CurrentC because its a worthless implementation that's already late to the party I think there's a bigger reversal risk for unauthorized ach transactions than credit cards. The possibility of fines/prosecution i

   What a shitshow.. I pitched the same technology around the time bitcoin was being developed, 2009. I must have talked to the wrong VC's because they thought ACH over QR was a horrible idea. Needless to say I've since moved on to

   This also comes back to hands free for driving, etc. I don't understand why a tesla d can drive itself but we're still using blinkers and manual actions to change lanes...

   Golang is so much easier than C and almost as light... :)

   Zero knowledge platforms are a fairly simple solution to this... You just have to be willing to fork over a little money instead of letting them monetize your data.

   I agree... I did a similar thing here: https://github.com/aosmith/toy-os The x86 code seems like a bear but once it's explained it is fairly simple.

    This is especially relevant for flight where you probably need weather for your departure, destination, and a few places in the middle.

    I think ground effect requires too much power to be practical, hydroplaning on the other hand may be possible.

    It makes a lot of sense. If a business can turn a variable cost (fuel) into a fixed cost (solar panels) it's generally advantageous.

    Have you tried Go? Might make the transition a little easier. UDP hole punching is always fun with C/C++.

    Excuse me for being rude but what makes these worse than the iOS 7 notifications? If you actually take 2 factor seriously the notification screen is worthless.

    Seems like reservation hop is engaging in deceptive practices. I bought tablesniper.com ~5 years ago with the same idea but didn't proceed after talking to attorneys.

    Sounds like you need to spend some time with go!

    go get still works but it uses the src/ ... AFAIK there's no bin/ with go...

    I don't think you need to comply unless this is a court order. I wouldn't comply with anything short of that because you're essentially helping them build a case against you.

    I agree -- Anything short of a court order (what CL does) isn't worth complying with. A bot is pretty easy to pick out from a technical perspective. It's a lot of requests originating from a single ip in a short time frame.

    I've got a little experience with both. I taught myself to program in the early days of the internet (well not that early, but 28.8 no less). I also was a CS student for a couple quarters before dropping out. On the whole I think it&

    So all these ignore it comments are generally ok but it depends on who you're dealing with. Remember that TOS violations are covered under the CFAA, CL has a reputation for this sort of behavior.

    I've been doing basically the same thing by creating src/ and pkg/ directories and using this alias: go='GOPATH=`pwd`:$GOPATH go'
