We Australians are two steps ahead - I barely even use a pin now! I use PayWave (NFC) nearly all the time and often businesses find it strange when you want to insert or swipe your card.

Good point! Are there any publicly accessible crash/death statistics for cars with a similar price/safety/demographic profile as Teslas? I feel that is the only way we could isolate for self driving and not other factors.

I agree with your intention, though isn't it inevitable self driving cars will kill people even if they are 1000x safer than humans? If a CEO has many millions of cars running his software, their will always be a death. In that case, n

Is there anything open source like this? I consider myself a strong privacy advocate but I just get so much benefit out of my Google location timeline that I cant bear to pull the plug. It's my version of the pin up world map with ever

How does VSCode Vim bindings compare to Vintage mode in Sublime? I like the idea of Oni, but I also love that Sublime is native (I'm already running FF Quantum, I can't burn too much more battery!). I know Sublime's Vim keybi

I agree, except how do you control the audience of a website, like keeping friends separate from professional contacts? What's the best way to do this, a password you give to people? I don't like the idea of forcing people to give

I disagree with you on this particular point, but in a wider scope I think you're spot on - it seems so little thought is given to the very basics of UI design. iTunes is the classic example!

Is all this gain due to the adblocker?

This is the only thing I want from Firefox in 2018. It's the single issue I have with it that might push me back to Safari.

I make one "Container" per account, and then visit the page in question and tick "Always open in $CONTAINER_NAME. Then when you sign into Facebook, any other domain won't get the cookie. Then get Cookie AutoDelete, tick

I find the danger with ad blockers is they hide the true extent of the tracking from me, because I never see the results. I've now sandboxed Facebook (and others) in container tabs in Firefox so no cookies go in or out, along with uBlo

If this did happen Facebook would quickly figure out exactly what ads you like/make an impression on you, which is just more ammunition for adtech.

Are there online RSS feed writers that nontechnical people could use? Reading a pure collection of my friend's RSS feeds would be wonderful. Though to the best of my understanding there is no way of commenting on RSS posts unless you h

Is this purely a symbolic move? Do you think other people will follow or is this a statement of position?

This is great! How would accelerometer + algorithm power usage compare to GPS? Is there any reason this isn't already used?

I'm really hoping we can take advantage of the start of driverless cars to implement a per kilometer and also demand driven tax/toll system. The current method of funding roads with fuel tax won't work any more, and it doesn&

"Pay extra(congestion pricing, progressives love that) to exit or take one before or after." It's a physical impossibility, no congestion pricing will make more supply. If it's 8:30am on a weekday, and you have a large s

I am optimistic about self driving cars, but we also lower to floor of possible vehicle occupancy to 0. I'm curious to see if average occupancy goes up or down. Linking up cars sounds great! Maybe we could make the cars electric. And w

Buses are good too, though bus rapid transit doesn't have the appeal of trains. I'm not sure if this is a problem inherent to buses or BRT systems having worse service on average giving them a bad image. 200kph close packed cars w

As long as we're putting trains in those tunnels! Cars on freeways or sleds don't carry nearly as many people/hour.

I feel like I'm not really getting this article, though I am super interested in city planning. It feels too vague. Are they proposing the two most likely scenarios are 1. Everyone going back to running their own farms and 2. Continued

Awesome idea - do they have more than a couple of artists though? Personally I like a distinction between looking for music and having it DRM-free offline on my hard drive.

Does paying for Spotify actually help any artists meaningfully though? I've been wondering whether paying for a Bandcamp album every so often to match the cost of Spotify, and pirating music otherwise would actually benefit artists mor

I am so grateful for Australia's ABC News [1], on the web and TV. For those who don't know they have a program called Media Watch which calls out biased reporting in the media - sometimes they even criticise their own organization
