That, presumably, is an electronic/computerized feature, not mechanical. So if the car is damaged enough to not have electricity, or that board was damaged in whatever caused the airbags to deploy, then the doors won't automatical

Sure, but go and read the OP's requirements again and tell me if you think they care about needing to assemble them.

It's rather amazing. They found one of the few organizations I trust less than the Chinese government to run this.

I'm actually somewhat interested to see something like this hit mainstream. Like smartphone-levels of mainstream. Because one of the first apps for it will likely be one that looks at people's faces and immediately digs up everyth

Sure, but you missed my entire point, which was we don't want to contaminate the samples. The entire point is looking for evidence of life and organic material. Would be a shame to spend all those billions just to not be sure if the

Obviously we don't want ancient Mars viruses or whatever killing us all. But we also don't want to contaminate the samples with Earth-stuff.

Pass actually has a similar feature: different directories in your git repo can have different gpg keys, effectively doing the same thing you like.

Well shit, I didn't realize the Android app was shelved. I checked out the fork and it looks like they're doing good work there. I'm a bit surprised that the maintainers of both didn't work out a transfer; who else bette

I presume if AI does come in, it won't be replacing those "geniuses running things now". They'll be fine; it's all the teachers who will be replaced. They're expensive, and all that money can go towards more sp

Sure, but we're talking about health care here. It's not Red Lobster or some failing brick & mortar store. I know health care in general is treated like a business, but it really shouldn't be. I don't care if Red Lob

I'm not sure I understand. Even a custom Arch install with samba, zfs, NFS, etc would be a "single setup, works forever" deal. It's not like what you configure is going to magically break if you don't look at it. An

I read what you wrote, and it seems to me you think these two things are equal: A human using their creativity to create a painting showcasing a statement about war. A human asking AI to create a painting showcasing a statement about war. I

Yes, but perhaps not in the way you imagine. I'm still not using AI much, but I'm especially wary of using it to help me with any creative task such as writing or coding. I believe "vibe coding" is the anthesis of hacker

Probably because "HN" is not an entity with a single mind, but rather a group of millions each with their own backgrounds, experiences, desires, and biases? Frankly it's amazing there's ever a consensus.

I'm hoping that Linus "pulls a git" and suddenly announces that he got fed up with Android last week and created a new OS that solves everyone's problems. A person can dream.

Ok, but were they open web standards? That's the topic at hand here. Regardless, that just shows Google doesn't care.

I suppose the definition of intentional is a bit murky here. Yeah, you're right that Google probably didn't look at a list of open web technologies that they disagree with and choose one for their new tool. I guess I'll call
