Currently, the farmers are not paying for any of the externalities(1) of their operation, including harm to the environment from waste runoff, antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the overall health consequences of eating factory-farmed meat,

Great point. It seems to me that people are categorizing anything that involves analytics as AI now: "I asked Cortana to query our clickstream data and she said that men over the age of 50 like to click on Viagra ads." This is no

They don't skip over this; it just isn't called out in the summary: "One area where legal marijuana has reaped unexpectedly large benefits is state tax revenue. Colorado, Washington, and Oregon all impose significant excise t

One thing you have to take into account is that the vast majority of modern console gamers have never experienced PC gaming @ 120hz on a CRT connected to a good old 15-pin VGA connector... If you were to take a console gamer that was just f

Thunderbolt to VGA is only a $29 adapter ($19 if you want to use a non-Apple branded one) that I'm happy to carry to avoid having a thick, ugly notebook computer. The DB15 adapter is insanely thick for a modern computing device. It sh

I use the same set of headphones with an Aune T1 DAC (I'm sure there are better ones out there, but I bought it a few years ago) and it works great. The thing I really like about this setup is that the DAC is class compliant, so it wi

Completely agree here. Anyone that is using a Mac for Pro Audio is using USB, Thunderbolt, or on older platforms, even Firewire to an external DAC. I have a pair of Jaybird X2 bluetooth headphones which are fine for consuming content, but

Sorry to break this news to you: you are not Apple's target market. I agree about your points, but ask your average consumer when the last time they used a Cat5 Ethernet connection was and you'll probably get a blank stare. Likew

1. You should not be 100% invested in stocks during retirement (or ever). Diversified portfolios that contain stocks, bonds, cash, and inflation protected assets (such as gold or real-estate) are highly recommended. 2. See #1. Diversific

Great point - it would be nice if they separated out their monetization products (Swarm, Docker Datacenter, etc) from the core Docker engine. There is plenty of money to be made from enterprise customers who will want the security features

I agree with your speculation; it seems likely, however, I don't understand why laying off staff at VMware would help make the company stronger - is it just supposed to make the balance sheet look good in the short term? Short-term res

Hear hear! If you feel you need _any_ phone functions while you're driving, stop, just full on stop, don't pass go, don't collect $200... Just stop, because you're doing something stupid!

Funny, I just rented an entry level Hyundai Sonata, which has both Carplay and Android Auto, but also is completely entry level in every other way, such as: cloth seats, no sunroof, no keyless entry (remote has a clicker for doors and trunk

HN could remove this disagreement moderation bias by implementing a meta-moderation feature similar to Slashdot. Slashdot used to be a great place (like HN was a few years ago), and many of the best moderation systems originated there. Meta

You should file a complaint with the citizen's complaint review board. This behavior is unacceptable.

It's because once someone has a wildcard cert they can use it anywhere, in malicious ways: phishing emails that send you to bankofamerica.banking.io or other nefarious type of things.

They're not losing money on each car. They're reinvesting profits in business expansion like the Gigafactory. There's a big difference.

Have they ever said they wouldn't use cheap panels from China? Why would you assume Tesla would procure more expensive panels if it didn't make sense to do so?

Even if you have trouble with audio, you can typically use firewire or USB audio interfaces with no issues. If you're doing semi-pro or professional audio production, chances are you want to use a USB audio interface anyway...

Why not just do as you suggest ("kick off the radio, turn off the AC, sound and alarm, or even just pull the car safely to the side of the road") if the driver isn't paying attention? You can still do all that you suggest whi

Worse than that, it stores your email credentials on their servers, so it can retrieve email on your behalf. Terrible, terrible security. I wouldn't be surprised if the passwords are stored in cleartext in the database.

Seems like this would be very easy for them to block since they know your GPS coordinates. They could just pop up a message saying "Pokemon Go is not yet available in your region," although, the good will demonstrated by allowing

If they did that, they don't deserve a second chance at trust. That is outright malicious, and definitely a dark pattern. Their app deserves to be deleted and not used again. Oauth2 has some serious holes - I have no idea if the Goog

A comment like this could be very insightful, but you didn't mention what h-pylori is, or why water treatments help reduce it.

But, if you have persistent EBS volumes, you wouldn't be able to mount them on the other cluster if you had a failure of an entire AZ.

You might take a look at Rancher - it integrates and fully automates Kubernetes deployment, but personally, I find their Cattle scheduler is much easier to reason about, supports multi-AZ out of the box, and supports all of the features you

I'm curious - did you model reserved instance pricing, or on-demand pricing in your comparison? AWS typically charges ~1/3rd the price for a 3-year reserved instance vs. on demand pricing. This comparison would be much more appl
