The situation in say a Tesla or any other new car isn't much better under most driving rule regimes out there today. Fault for accident is virtually always the driver, regardless of whether automated or assist systems in use. This incl

All of the flaws Munro talks about in his videos and with Musk here are visible really from moment you pickup the car at mile zero. I believe Tesla do have some kind of no questions asked return of the car at pickup time (my Model 3 did in

This would largely have saved RSS for me. I'd argue there was a glorious era in late 2000s where you could almost replace your browser with a good feed reader and get vast majority of news/info this way. It was just so nice to hav

This NAS board is only for the Pi CM4 "Compute Module" - that is aimed at enterprise/embedded solutions, not education like the standard Pi boards. I think for this, it's absolutely appropriate to compare to other soluti

The Stadia version is one of the best performing ports of the game in benchmarks, and far outperforms the PS4/xbone console version most will buy. Stadia gives an experience similar to good PC, it’s the base console version where the v

I've been down this path before. I'd argue strongly pfSense is non-trivial and will require significant time investment for most people coming off Unifi stuff to learn the ropes, and should not be considered a serious alternative

Second this. I'm no great expert in this area but have greatly enjoyed using Ubiquiti gear for my home the past few years. If there is something else that offers a comparable experience at similar price point would be great to know. Th

I was at law school during that merger and it was a major focus of the Competition Law course, one of the most obvious monopolies that was ever allowed to proceed in recent times really. I think entire academic staff expected the opposite o

This is the critical point virtually all criticism of Facebook often fails to address. Sure, you could regulate to death/kill Facebook tomorrow with legislation in country X. All that happens is a clone launches immediately overnight f

I have a lot of opinions on this, too much for a comment really! At root, legal systems in many western countries only really classify workers as employee/contractor vs self employed etc. The law has not caught up with modern working p

It’s about more than just the cash cost though. In many jurisdictions court cases decisions can create legally binding precedent. Arbitration typically does not, a critical advantage when Uber was very busy trying to make sure courts the wo

Lift off oversteer can be done in FWD cars too - its just another variation on a clutch kick/handbrake/sharp steering input/whatever to lose traction to start the slide. I think we can likely all agree the finer points of man

I’ve never felt that time spent in a static simulator translates to real world car control at all. So much of driving at speed or at edge of vehicles performance is understanding the balance of the car as it shifts in bends or slides etc, s

I hate this too, but to continue the example, my actual real life bike shop struggled for years with bad websites sold to them by a succession of "developers". The Facebook page appears to draw as much if not more business, and ch

There is so much x86 stuff alone that will easily run linux and outperform a Pi4 for that budget, used and new. Pi 4 as home server value proposition gets bad fast for me at least once cases, power supplies, storage etc factored in.

If you are technically inclined, this isn't that hard to do. You will need a calibrated mic, but result is you can do Sonos style adjustments to calibrate for a room on any set of speakers: https://www.hifiberry.com/doc

There have been measurable improvements over years to things like app review times etc, significantly so in some cases. Whether _any_ review process in a store the size of Apple's can justify taking 30% is not obvious to me. As size go

You are shipping "bits" to phones, just as boats and trains shipped cargo to stations and ports. Its fundamentally analogous as a legal argument; whether it's corporeal items being moved (physical goods) or not doesn't r

Good luck _selling_ that phone to the hundreds of millions of users you lost immediately overnight, to users already perfectly happy with the phone they have. Your customers aren't going to pickup the tab just because you didn't l

It's beyond scope of a hacker news comment for me, but Epic case against Apple/Google store distribution terms is sufficiently different IMO. How exactly would Epic ship this open platform when Google and Apple expressly control w

Not trying to play devils advocate here, but who genuinely believes a Linux Steam client is a "credible alternative" to Steam on Windows? It's an alternative, I agree, but I can't imagine a world in which it makes a dent

There's only two things I dislike on the Pi 4 today really. No options for fast internal storage, and that tiny HDMI port. Given Pi 4 has reasonable CPU and up to 8GB of RAM, the former is a shame. The full size HDMI port on Pi 3 was c

There is no way for Lewis to assume that much responsibility even if he wanted to though, to continue this example. I'd go as far as to argue with constant rule changes it's not even the same sport anymore, especially the gap betw

I cannot agree that "Containerization universally makes first server deployment harder". Even at single person scale, tools like Docker-Compose etc make my dev life massively simpler. In 2020, I'd argue the opposite for most

It’s never been about selling product, although it helps. The hype around autonomy and full self driving has fuelled their share price growth for some time. Just selling cars alone does not justify Tesla’s current valuation (how could it? M
