If I were to store solar in my electric car as a form of temporary storage, I get probably between 80 and 90% of what was generated by my cells delivered back to my house. All I need to do this are some slight alterations to my electrical s

Good point on the cryptography. My passport already contains such a key, so it is probably feasible to use something like this for trusted communications.

This seems like the first instance of deep fakes fooling politicians on a geopolitical scale. The repercussions of this are huge. I really wonder how big the impact of this technology is going to be, especially since corona has made online

This statement is kinda contradictory, since having everything in one could be a major benefit to user experience. Hence, this thread.

Yes, it could, that's why I mentioned it's a simplification. There will definitely be more steps involved in a scheme like this.

The fact that you know people who are legitimately buying that stuff makes it a great money laundering scheme. If only people laundering were buying them, it would be obvious, but the fact that it's picking up steam makes high sales pr

I doubt there is a remedy and personally accept this as a fact of life.

It survives pretty well. I built a super basic localStorage only web app and it's worked really well. Until I switched phones and realized I didn't add export functionality.

So.. Someone who was 12 back then is now 29. Doesn't seem that wild to me.

Which means there will be 100 suspects where usually there would be maybe 2. Which means the data is useless and therefore won't be used. Law enforcement doesn't want a system that incorrectly flags hundreds of people, unlike what

This is interesting. I was the technical founder for a data startup that used NLP, elastic and some other stuff for analysis. It's still active, growing and approaching profitability, is used by fortune 500 companies and has had some m

I mentioned average temperature twice in my comment, did you miss that? I looked at average temperatures for these locations over the last 100-ish years. Consistently all of these places rising averages. Below are some links to back that up

That's weird, because all the places I've traveled (in both US and EU) have had a clear rise in average temperature in the last 3 decades. The country I live in has had the average temperature steadily rise by a full degree over t

It's almost like arguing with any other fanboy on the internet. Maybe the brand doesn't really make a difference, maybe it's just the being of a fanboy.

Theoretically, you can resell the calculator, but not the app.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say their candidate didn't lose that year. Even though margins were razor thin that year too, they didn't care.

Trump did cheat, in a way. Foreign actors clearly influenced those elections and Trump won with a minority in the popular vote. Democrats accepted that outcome and conceded the election. Many democrats gave Trump the benefit of the doubt. B

Like that guy who ran for president with vague threats of not accepting the outcome if he would lose. And then when they lost not accepting the outcome and making up a bunch of stories about wide-spread fraud? If you were implying that I&#x

Thanks for this. We could post stuff about previous commenter, based on literally nothing, doing bad stuff to little kiddies and they would be deleted by HN. That commenter would probably be alright with that because those types of comments

Oh, I definitely have doubts. I have doubts about the legality of voter suppression tactics like defunding the USPS, doubts about gerrymandering, doubts about influence by foreign actors and much more. They're just not the baseless stu

Holy shit, this thread is scary. Sure, there are some implications worth discussing based on this news. However, the number of people directly posting doubts on the election results is way more concerning and shows that Youtube might be doi

I would say those claims based on the absence of evidence, or evidence that was proven fraudulent or incorrect would be baseless. It's impossible to prove something didn't happen, so we need proof something did happen. None was pr

There are plenty of companies who sell their products directly to consumers. So physical products don't need to be sold through third party retailers either.
476.
by donkeyd 6y ago
The web also allows any producer of physical products to distribute directly to consumers, doesn't it? So why is it OK for Amazon to get a fee, or any physical retailer? Aren't they unnecessary middle men too?
477.
by donkeyd 6y ago
Yup. And that excludes the fee many brands pay supermarkets to be in the eye level spot on the shelves. New entrants have to spend money just to be visible in the racks, regardless of whether their product is being sold.

by donkeyd 6y ago
Sure. But I also wouldn't be able to use all the mainstream apps for communication, navigation, etc.

by donkeyd 6y ago
Do you feel the same way about anything sold on Amazon? Or in supermarkets? Or is that in some way different?

Please don't stop them, I really don't want to be forced to buy an Android phone.
