This is the first I've heard of people tampering with the brake systems - it's incredibly malicious. I understand some people might be frustrated by the scooters, but is manslaughter really the right way to go about it?

I wish my bamboo (inherited from a previous owner) would flower instead of battling me for control of my yard. I really need to read up on the best way to control it - sounds like my variety might be a "runner".

I would love to have such batteries but I'm not sure we need them. Doesn't hot-swapping effectively achieve net charge rates faster than discharge? I can see why people might be less interested in hot-swapping for personal vehic

A surprising amount of people (at least to me) think driving on any road and parking at the destination for free is their inherent right and such people will naturally boycott and lobby against any attempt to charge for routes or parking.

Generally, annual fee cards have an equivalent free tier card. You should be able to just call the credit company and ask to downgrade to the free tier (usually after a year or two). They will usually honor this request. This conversion a

Does this work when your phone runs out of charge, or do you need to find a good samaritan that will charge it for you?

At a pure level, Lambda "integration" is essentially an interface for passing in runtime arguments+environment to your application. If you're concerned about lock-in, you can write or integrate another entry point that execut

Have you actually been to DC? Union Station always had homeless outside when I worked nearby. DC may be unique in a few ways but in most ways it's similar to any other large city for the people that live there. I agree that there'

I was told to try cutting an onion in half and dragging it up and down the grates (after warming up for a bit). After trying it I would say that it’s not perfect but does a decent job of removing the big stuff. I’m still looking for a more

Is this one of those things that is just never going to work? It seems like our system can't execute on things that are all-or-nothing. We shoot for the all, water it down with compromise, and then we're surprised when things fail

It's conveniently not mentioned in the marketing that it's being established in Saudi Arabia. It will be interesting to see what culture is established when/if the city becomes legitimate.

AFAIK in this case law enforcement is the Inspection Service which is part of USPS; if images are divulged to any other agency, it's through USPSIS.

I doubt your implication that they've broken the TLS layer just by having a honeypot. It sounds like they are taking advantage of exploits to own the phone itself based on their power on/off ability and may be stealing credentials

Pills also have the advantage of more consistent dosage vs tea/coffee. Plus no calories, cheaper, and no taste so you won't find yourself going back just for the flavor.

Valid point, but I think there's more here. Kenji is saying that he is satiated. It doesn't really matter what he eats compared to others if his brain/body is happy eating the correct amount. The real question is: Why are peo

True, but why don't more tech companies follow Amazon's lead of tempering shareholder expectations? Is Amazon somehow unique in being able to do this?

I do something very similar when I'm on a workstation, but I've found that running a full VM is less than ideal on my laptop because of increased battery drain.
