What's the embassy doing for me as an American citizen living abroad who uses none of their services (except passport renewal but that's only because of the other ridiculous rule that US citizens must travel there on a US passport

And how about they make this service opt-in. I was born in the US but I have had nothing to do with the place for 95% of my life and I don't want their help. Why must I fill out their paperwork every year or pay them money to opt-out (

Indeed, there's definitely an appetite for bizarre/weird stories on HN and as someone who lives outside of the US this seems totally bizarre to me. Even more bizarre that some other states already allow this. But actually, not tha

And the tech/IP they offer is way behind the competition. They were not a realistic choice when we last sat down. But the chance to utilise EMIB would be cool.

That is my question also and presumably the answer is "not very good" but we'll have to wait and see as I can't find any info on this. Surely they'll have to rate the experience on a per-game basis when in 4k docked

With a 7inch screen, 2 hours battery life when pushing it, and no keyboard (i.e. extra £££)? I think I'd prefer a mid-range laptop.

In the UK it needs to be less than 0.05% to be 'Alcohol free' compared to the EU where it only needs to be below 0.5%. And Mikkeller's Drink’in the Sun is a great beer.

A brewery near me did a run of "Tomato Gose" which I really liked and then followed by "Clamato" which was interesting... and I learned that clam juice is a thing in Canada. https://untappd.com/b/per

Sorry if this is obvious, but how do we know this isn't due to something more "innocent" like fragmentation?

I've looked before at these high-level things generating Verilog and I don't see what they bring that's so much better than what I can do with well-established VHDL. VHDL is rather verbose but that's nothing a bit of pre

Is this just the next step after lossless now that everyone supports that (or soon will)? I'd be surprised if this would drive subscriptions but I guess it's still a nice differentiator to have; although I personally have zero int

Technically it might be an "open-source Google Cast" alternative but it's definitely not an "Open-source Chromecast" alternative. If it was, I would be able to open any app that supports Google Cast and control a de

What exactly do you want? If you want to have some device appear in the target list when using google cast in apps then I think you are stuck waiting for Google to (never) open that up. Edit: although maybe some apps still support DIAL and

Enterprise networking chips happily run 80C+ junction temperature (much too hot to touch) for the part lifetime - which is 10+ years. There are plenty of things that damage chips, especially those at 7nm and beyond but this too-hot-to-touch

This. A great way to reduce the cost of your chip is to add SRAM to it. I'm not joking.

The metadata for some of my filew is total junk. If I used another tool to strip that bad metadata would it then use the datestamps in the filename? I think this was defeating the de-duplication also. In an ideal world I'd be able to c

Yes, this is what I meant and the solution you describe is what I'd be looking for. So +1 from me!

I'm British and to me "quite" here means "mostly" i.e. not entirely. Could well be a misunderstanding but it should be made clearer as this data is priceless.

I really didn't have much luck with the de-duplication. I tried photostructure for about 3 weeks and since stopped. I was trying to pull photos from multiple different drives/folders into one central organised place. A few issues:

That spy guy (I don't remember his name) in series 1 has this ability when he's re-wiring the airlock door interface panel in order to escape. He uses his AR ability a few times but I like how it's not overdone.

I really like how they transition between different screens so seemlessly with guestures (and also voice commands). I'd like to be able to do something similar on my phone so rather than clicking the chromecast icon and selecting which
