That's actually a good point. Even if the tesla app reverts to its default state when the phone is locked, one might pocket their unlocked phone while "come to me" is shown.

To get a sense of what would be required to "pocket summon" the car, you'd have to: - pocket unlock phone - pocket open tesla app - pocket scroll down to Summon - pocket click Summon - pocket select "Smart Summon" f

It's especially confusing that the featured example uses the lack of something (equality) at the maximum of one scale.

It's especially weird that their methodology reports "0% secure" traffic as recently as June 2016.

If it took a team of lawyers 7 years to resolve this, $1.5M hardly sounds like "set for life" money. But maybe this is not a good one.

The point is that a vector format / high resolution version was never public. The best we had until recently was a photograph of the physical embroidered patch.

I don't think avoiding the USA is a realistic option for a lot of HN readers.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: You can set up automated transfers to your investing account. In order to set up automated investments, you must submit a paper form, which can trigger recurring purchases from your account's cash balanc

I've gone through a couple X1 Carbons. The first one (2012) had a fan failure, but I got a replacement cooler on ebay for $20 and it was easy enough to replace. Eventually it died when a drink spilled on it. The second one (2014) had

Oh wow it's finally no longer using XQuartz! This is great!

I enjoyed reading this. Playing with a problem is such a great way to understand it. The charts are hard to read though - I wish they showed something like absolute error, or at least omitted the initial zero point so the y-axis could be ce

I have hundreds of hours in KSP and have never wanted a joystick. It's extremely forgiving and encourages learning by experimentation. This includes developing an intuition for orbital mechanics.

The flight I want has been fluctuating between $400 and $700 every couple of days for the last two weeks. It's $729 now and I need to gamble on whether it will go back down and I should wait, or whether it's about to go up even hi

Is it really a stranglehold if it's a condition of a contract that consumers agree to in exchange for subsidized hardware? Personally I would never buy a carrier-locked phone, but I have the resources available to make that choice. Tho

Not related to the article itself, but the "SmoothScroll for websites" script that the page loads is incredibly frustrating to interact with. Why do people feel the need to override browser scrolling behavior? They've even ov

So the headline is that a near-Earth object is not only going to miss Earth by a wide margin, but also even if it did hit us nobody would notice...

What legitimate use case is there for a blob script-src in a browser extension?

It isn't doing this. It uses rough hash of the password to generate a bucket ID that could represent a large number of passwords. That information is the used to query a bucket for whether any passwords in the bucket exist. For example

They may be reserving a large portion of the generated heat for thermal control. It's extremely cold on Titan.

Just the speeds required. This mission will effectively have a speed of about 17km/s faster than the speeds just to get to low Earth orbit after its final gravity assist.

It's interesting that there is no existing (or planned) launch vehicle that could perform a direct injection for this mission. Getting to Saturn is really, really hard, and without multiple gravity assists from the inner solar system i

If you use a material on the back of the asteroid that had a higher albedo at more oblique angles, you could have a form of feedback.

If you see a picture of the surface of a star that's not our sun, it's certainly an illustration. No such image exists of any other star.

It's especially noticeable around the T - the visual area between A and T feels like about twice that between T and I.

Am I correct in understanding that the left angle-of-attack sensor was reading erroneously positive prior to takeoff?

It still sounds a lot like BVHs. Maybe I need to read it more carefully, but I can't tell the difference.

I think in addition to the stigma, there will always be a matter of trust. If someone claims to be undetectable, at what point do you believe them? Right away, no questions asked? What level of trust is required to be sure they ever were, o
