Vso on a transport category aircraft is way faster than a helicopter is going to carry it. You’d be better off just dropping it at a real airport, if you can lift it anyway.

Not always - if you have dashcam footage that proves brake checking or other poor behavior, it can be decided in the rear car’s favor.

This frames it as an anti-repair thing. A more honest phrasing would be “if the factories are stealing their IP and profiting off selling the screens on the black market”

1) Once you consider resale value, total cost to own an Apple product is often at par or lower than a comparable Android/Windows product. 2) I’ll mostly give you this one, but I do enjoy not getting calls from my iOS-using grandmother

It might be easier to justify than that, though - the EU has shown an increasing willingness to dictate; Apple may project that out to causing more than $90B/yr in harm or slowed growth in the global business.

Probably bought it back from the insurance company after the first totaling. You have the option to receive $(insurance payout - current value of wrecked car) and keep the car.

There’s not much preventing people from doing this today. Maybe truck drivers wouldn’t fall for it, but the average American driver is absolutely vulnerable to a single-cone attack.

If it was a two-ship, could have been only the lead had their transponder on. Keeps the ATC traffic alert systems a little happier.

I’m over here with a 60Mbps connection, and I do fine. Faster would be nice a few times a week for huge downloads, but those are rare in my workflow. Curious how you got value out of 300Mb, let alone Gb? I feel like I’m missing out and don’

Many people on HN are in a good position to understand just how good Apple products are, so they invest in them (both by buying products and building workflows on them, and by investing in shares). Once invested, bullshit accusations agains

Prediction: French lab made some kind of mistake, which will be quietly announced in a month with almost no fanfare.

My iPhone 14 charges fast enough. Any file transfers go over airdrop, which is fast enough. The port is smaller than USB-C. I can clean it by rummaging around in it with a toothpick and not worrying about breaking stuff. USB-C is an unambig

This is a mobile processor being compared to flagship desktop processors. Apple’s lead is almost unfathomable.

I hope Apple provides a giant plastic brick with the name and phone number of a French regulator laser-etched in it.

Can you add some color the bit about it not being trivially dockerized? Might be doing this soonish for work, would love extra info.

No, but if they did people would still buy them because the 2GB version would outperform an 8GB Chromebook in daily tasks. Apple isn’t going to ship something that doesn’t beat the pants off a Chromebook.

I wonder if it’s a thing where no one ever actually wrote “cable theft is a 6mo max sentence”, but rather a serious of things that seem reasonable on their own: - Cable theft is fraud - Fraud is a Class Z crime - Class Z crimes have this

I’ve developed a more nuanced view on Scrum since working as a contractor for a medium sized software company, but adjacent to their normal dev teams. I used to have the view that Scrum is a useless batch of meetings, that sucks the life an

The main thing I find copilot good for is things that are easy to validate, but tedious (not hard!) to write. Stuff like colors for different statuses, or error messages. I actually love it for writing error messages. Keeps me in flow bette

I have an Apple laptop that is a few years old. It does not have shit battery life. Probably 90% of new. Did you research this statement before making it?

Feature flags sound great, but a company I’ve been consulting for has been using them to their own detriment. Seems like many bugs are due to a (production!) user not having the right combinations of flags enabled. There ends up being code

Hawaii might be nice because an ELT is going to be heard by every passing airliner (line of sight, which is super far on the ocean). If you’ve got an ELT, PLB, and a flare gun or two, I’d guess someone will get you before you die.

Note that this is with the benefit of a past where the Germans didn’t get the bomb, and we know they probably wouldn’t before the end of the war. That was no guarantee to these men. In a past where the Germans (or even Soviets, possibly) ge

Ya know… how crazy would it be to set up a charity-ish thing for buying kids replacement screens for phones? Just the part and tools, mind you. Not labor. They do the labor themselves. It’s really not that hard. (Even in the so-called unrep

Okay, so if I give you all the data from my car, and say it has 10.3 gallons of gas, you’re telling me you can predict how many miles it will go to within a percent? No, you can’t. Because I might go uphill or downhill. It might rain. It mi
