Renting a car for $50 a day plus gas does not make sense when you can charge off-peak (at least in my area) for about $7.

My Model 3 got totaled in a crash last year. I did debate whether I should give Elon Musk more money, so I looked at what the competition was offering. Competing cars were often more expensive for worse specs, did not have access to Superch

Looks very interesting, but it would be good to know a ballpark price.

The feature most interesting to me, that was buried a long way down, is that iOS now supports VP9 decoding. VP9 now has 97% browser support according to CanIUse and could feasibly replace H.264 as the base video codec for the web. (I know A

Udemy has a lot of good stuff, particularly programming-related. I’ve learned a lot from it. They have a sale every few days, so if you wait, you can pick up hours of content for <$20.

Another trend on similar lines is putting cutesy / jokey text in mobile app changelogs. The people who don’t care what changed likely have automatic updates switched on anyway and it would be nice for the people who do care to actually

Some places in the US use third-parties to enforce traffic laws. I was once in a park and I got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign by a third-party company employed by the park. I looked into the legality of receiving

I don’t really understand the long-term purpose of Beeper. Apple has already announced RCS, which will fix most complaints about text messaging interoperability. There is still the question of encryption, which Beeper is strongly pushing, h

Although English is the most-contributed language, one of the goals of Common Voice is to support languages that wouldn’t normally receive attention from commercial providers.

Shadow DOMs have up until now only been able to be created in Javacript, which is a problem if the user has JS disabled or server-side rendering is desired. Declarative Shadow DOM allows you to set all of that up with HTML markup.

Tesla was coming under pressure from the government and may have wanted to get ahead of potential regulation. Opening up their network also allows access to federal funding. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/stat

I think it would be different if heated seats had never existed before now. The fact that they are relatively standard in modern cars of a certain price range, and there are many other manufacturers who don’t charge a subscription for them,

I don’t think this is a case of Apple crippling non-Apple headphones but more a case of Bluetooth being pretty limited. Either way, the user experience is still better than on Windows. Whenever I start up my PC it steals my headphones, even

The part that caught my eye in the presentation was that it suggested the possibility of digging into someone’s immigration status and reporting them to ICE. It shocks me that a private corporation would get someone deported for doing somet

I’m in the same boat, although it hasn’t happened with any financial transactions yet. I get numerous emails that appear to be genuine - my (non-existent) Subaru is apparently constantly in need of service, and I supposedly work for a schoo

Oh yeah, they do that all the time. I have dual citizenship and they’ve asked me a few times upon leaving the UK where I was staying, who I was with, what those people’s professions were, etc. I think it’s just random spot-checks to see if

I prefer to think society doesn’t believe this because they are innocently misguided but because those with wealth and power have an incentive to push such narratives. If people think you’re rich because you’re a genius, they’re more likely

Why aren’t startups trying to disrupt the printer industry? It’s been a racket for a long time. The only reason I can think of is that gouging customers must be the only real way to make money in that industry.

Ketamine therapy has made a significant improvement to my quality of life but it’s a shame it’s not FDA approved for depression / anxiety and thus not available on insurance. The cost is a barrier for people who could benefit from it.

I think every developer has an AWS billing horror story. My horror story is that my site allows users to upload videos and share them to a limited number of colleagues. When a user requests a video, a CloudFront URL is created that lasts a
