Imagine hearing from God that we were too clever, and a specific loophole will be closed on Jan 1st next year

The promise is significantly reduced device costs for far superior electrode counts. Even if it can't interpret yet, the ability to get a more nuanced look at the firing of neurons should be a huge benefit to help increase understandin

A scooter has very bad stability. Your weight is centered, whereas a bike distributes force wider through each foot. Larger tires can handle most surfaces, while a tiny pebble, crack, or wandering ghost could flip a scooter rider into the n

You still have to worry about it, take it with you from A -> B -> A, carry your helmet, ensure it is always charged, reserve space to store it at home, and spend who knows how long dealing with insurance if it is stolen, as well as no

Reserving one parking space per block for scooters, bikes, and other small vehicles would benefit everyone and have little downside. Other than people with cars complaining that there now isn't room for their one giant single-occupant

Gogoro has become the standard. Yamaha, Aeon, PGO, and likely others are already using their swap stations. Kymco has their own design and partnerships, but are way behind now on reach and marketshare.

It should be able to correctly time most charges, so that you are always getting the highest battery charge state available at that stop. Most kiosks have 30+ batteries, so each has a while to recharge before being 'summoned' agai

This is the real test. While we (HackerNews) readers might be able to realize they are fake, that other 90% of the world won't. The reverse side of it is if an overwhelming amount of deep fakes get called out, people will stop trusting

RealLifeLore has a great video on why Russia is initiating these attacks. Worth a watch: https://youtu.be/If61baWF4GE

When quoting those 12 deaths, don't forget that 1) Autopilot is a driver assist feature (like cruise control, driver is always in control and at fault) 2) The majority of those incidents had a driver under the influence

Most studies compare grids from right now, or the recent past. EVs win in all cases, and rapidly get even better as the grid advances.

Last I saw, China has 97% of the world's electric buses, and probably a similar figure for taxis. The scale and transition is crazy and rapid. The savings on fuel alone easily made the upfront cost worth it; growing a new industry and

Do you expect traveling multiple light years to an alien world to be easier or less hostile? You have to start somewhere, and the selection is pretty thin.

This is very much untrue. Writing with a pen, maybe. Rare, obscure characters from ancient texts, sure. Basic daily-use characters are understandable to even most of the elderly in super remote villages.

'Recall' is not the correct word, even if it is officially what NHTSA uses. This is an 'option' in a 'beta' version that applies below 5mph. The recall is just an OTA update in a few days.

Why give the option for gender selection or character customization in video games? People care about seeing themselves represented. It doesn't hurt anyone to have options (other than those who have to wade through supporting unicode s

Pinyin may dominate in Mainland China, but places like Taiwan and Hong Kong still prefer their own input methods. Both generally use Traditional instead of Simplified characters and HK's Cantonese has an underused pinyin equivalent, bu

I hated the Ribbons. Nothing was categorized where I expected and none of the icons or sizes match their use or frequency of use. Drop down menus are so much quicker to scan

That makes sense considering Edge is a default browser on the most popular (desktop) OS, and this is from a random distribution of users.

I'd guess either some ISP/VPN is masking to that location, or a block of ips incorrectly map to that spot (perhaps by the library they are using to determine location from ip)

The layers don't look that thick, just voluminous, and likely quite good at letting through airflow. Suits are always too many layers

I think it is worth noting that not everyone gets 100% right. You're point would be most accurate if Euler was a Quantum computation expert. I haven't read his biography, so can't know for sure.

For someone who hasn't seen it, how does it compare to Mr. Robot? (Season 1)
