From wikipedia: "As of 2025, three interstellar objects have been discovered traveling through the Solar System: 1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017, 2I/Borisov in 2019, and 3I/ATLAS in 2025" I would guess that observation improve

Your comment appears to be based in fear, without presenting any reasonable argument against extended lifespans. The idea that a naughty president, or a prisoner, would live hundreds of years is not a longevity problem, its a politics probl

The middleman that bitcoin is cleaved from is banks (that have control over all balances and transactions), and payment processors (same controls). Previously these were required unless you handed physical cash to someone. Now electronic tr

Brian is known for adopting whatever appears to be hot. Sometimes he reads the latest fad book and starts projecting it, other times there's a hiring or retention trend that he adopts to remain competitive for hiring. I don't get

Funny to see people in this thread about human vs robot driving quality. Anyone that's zipped around ina waymo knows they're pretty great. We should be moving to ban human driving asap. It would be safer, and more relaxing.

I love the idea of on-device AI. But the implementation of Gemini on Android is fully toxic. In the assistant settings I'm able to select what app I want to use as the assistant. But if I even open the Gemini app, it sets that automati

Some of us never left piracy. It's just a better experience, and has been for a long time. Seems like most people would pay for a good service, but one doesn't exist.

Investor safety. It's amazing that people in hn threads still think the end-user is the customer. No. The investor is the customer, and the problem being solved for that curtomer is always how to enrich them.

I had a 2011 Toyota and there are so many beeps. It's annoying because they are just noise pollution at that point. I don't mind actual alarms, like my fridge door beeps when I leave it ajar.

Since others are sharing their doom and gloom stories - Mine is the opposite. I was hired at a startup, and I didn't even know what a startup was. I just liked the industry they were in and applied to join. In negotiations I tried to g

Are you saying they would be relatively inaccurate?

by bravoetch 1y ago
There's an article, I think on wired.com, years ago about exactly this. It talked about using a vast array of accurate clocks as a kind of radar. Seems plausible only with a few more orders of magnitude accuracy and miniaturization.

For the average person, probably not much use. But we're in an interesting time where laptops and phones are ubiquitous and all of them have bluetooth. It being open source, and already ported to Android, is a bit special too. Seems li

It's not that. These are addresses with 10k BTC each. That's very intentional storage even for 2011.

I would say the odds are zero because that's the likelihood of being able to brute-force anything in the key space.

They don't intend to fix it, they intend to make money from it.

I'm happy to hear this worked out for someone! My experience with a different company was being shown photos of hail damage, even though it was easy to show that the car could not have experienced a hail storm while I had it. It took m

Your points only make sense if rental agencies are fixing the damage. They're not. In this case they are charging someone for damage that they have no intention of remediating. Same goes for all the other scuffs and scratches that will

I ran into a similar arbitration with a condo I rented for a long weekend. There was a significant issue and they weren't able to provide another place. We stayed there and had contractors in and out for the next couple of days. They r

How does it matter what part of the cycle it stops on? Maybe better to show the timer is done. Maybe they can add a disclaimer for people that aren't sure if they should keep breathing when they're not being told to.

Yes, and so far it's much easier to drive a van into a crowd of people. Nobody has tried to mandate tech in cars that detects and prevents such malicious behavior.

Tea also has l-theanine, and that removes the jitters from consuming a lot of caffeine.
