One of the reasons I don't use the autopilot that much in my Model S is that it is trying to be "too perfect", in the sense that it seems to want to stay right in the middle of the lane. You may be thinking: why would that be

If you want to know what this is, follow https://www.styled-components.com I was a bit confused when I followed the HN link originally.

Remember that it's only libel if it's not true. It's possible that the report is true, but that the author doesn't want the consequences of unambiguous identification.

Can a EU citizen call AT&T/Verizon and ask them to delete all records of their calls? Would the call logs also disappear from "the other side of the call"?

How can you prevent EU users from using your service (it seems that's where you are headed)? I can think of IP geofiltering if you have a web service, perhaps blacklisting some countries in the AppStores if you publish an app... but pe

Do you have source for that? I can't find any reports of widespread problems. The speed wasn't the part I was impressed with, it was the ability to do in place upgrade of a filesystem on millions of devices without any massive amo

Can you explain why the update rate is 10 Hz? It seems orders of magnitude away from current tech, and even from tech of 20 years ago. Perhaps I misunderstood what the update rate was, but I interpreted as the rate at which the "chaser

If you do the math, you see that an 8TB drive can be found for $125 (granted, it's a special deal) at https://slickdeals.net/f/10919999-8tb-seagate-backup-plus-hu... - but it's quite common to find them aroun

Well, all of my data exists in 3 copies. One in my house, one in the detached "granny unit", and one in the offsite location that I described. My single offsite drive is indeed a ticking time bomb, but it's easily replaceable

Because it limits the amount of people who can audit the code, contribute to it, or just use it?

If you have a large amount of data to backup, cloud storage may be too expensive. My data set is about 8 TB (my wife is a professional photographer), and it would be too expensive to keep in S3, so I have an "offsite backup system&quot

I recently built an app that embeds an invisible watermark in photos, specifically for cases like this. I call it an "InvisiMark". It works surprisingly well (and was quite a pain in the butt to implement). https://itun

Yes, but: 1) you have to know which ports you want to forward before you ssh into the remote host and 2) you have to change configurations (hostname and ports) in all the programs you use (for example, instead of pointing your browser to h

I'm afraid I don't understand the purpose of this. Are there servers that die if you don't hit their URLs periodically? I use uptimerobot for my servers but it serves a different purpose.

If you can afford to do that, it's nice to do it indeed. It can get messy and hairy quite quickly though. It seems to me a lot of it boils down to "who gets impacted". If I have a bug in my kernel and a lot of apps are someho

The bug they fix is the bug that keeps the API contract intact. The first application gets its bug fixed, and the second application breaks because it was relying on a bug that didn't match the API contract. You program to an API, not

Isn't it called "burqua browsing mode"? More seriously, of course it's harder in the offline world, I agree.
