Doesn't that simply highlight how unfit for that purpose it is (along with things like Social Security numbers in the US)?

Don't want to sound condescending about drivers but on my street I see plenty of people who don't alter their behaviour with the speed bumps - either because they are not observant or it's not their vehicle (the council rubbi

I suspect that telesilla knew that and merely missed out the word Electron by mistake (given the post it was a response to mentioning the Electron connection).

Screencasts for the reasons you give can be very helpful with the right kind of people for this sort of scenario. I gave up sending them to one person (who sadly needed them the most) as I'd got to the stage of having to ask he view th

Easy misunderstanding. Yet assuming you didn't know this, it would logically raise a question as to why all posts featuring some form of product or service were not Show HN then.

It's the least gendered synthetic voice I've heard but there is still a slight wobble between being first a hint more male and then a hint more female. Also seems to me like it's somewhat camp - a neutral voice in that regar

Given that it's due to the lights, with the day time image usage being fine, I wonder if that means you could simulate a (new) photorealistic nighttime view based on a day time image and post that subtly different image without breakin

What interests me is that they've clearly gone after the dark patterns of their opponents or their blatantly obvious unimplemented features (ie better use of mapping to categories behaviour or clear statements about not abusing the dat

And yet there are cards that offer 1 or 2% cashback in the UK - are these simply funded by the banks as a way to tempt users to sign up?

Looks like they should clarify the bounds of this functionality. Obviously they know who they're talking about, but good communication wouldn't assume the reader does. Presumably it's only working within a G Suite organisatio

Precisely. I would love to see this succeed but it's not $99 even in the US - with Arrow, there's tax taking it up $120 and then the UK shipping cost is about the same as you found for France ($42-44 depending on option). Feels li

Seems like this is much worse in the US - I've had the same number in the UK since 2000 and not had a robocall EVER. The occasional human spam call comes in (like once every two or three months) but I tend to just hang up and usually G

A curious detail I noticed: the USB Id of the Coral Accelerator is for Global Unichip Corp, who are a fabless ASIC design service company (according to their Wikipedia page). I had been expecting it to be Google obviously.

Here's a video I made of one of the included demos on RPi: https://youtu.be/6uQlCiAGWzc I didn't yet succeed in converting the installation script so it would run on Arch (unsupported) but I'll try again over

Are you sure on that timing? The CC non-profit was set up in 2001 according to Wikipedia, yet people were going things like face detection in the 80s which would have required using images of faces

I see there were a couple of complaints I'd missed further down, but it's still sounding like it's being talked up into more than it is.

The article takes a very long time to raise that the photographs in the collection had Creative Commons licenses. Perhaps the specific use they're being put to isn't covered by the particular CC licence of each one, but until that

Measuring activity / usage is one thing but as they get more advanced it would be exciting to explore detecting machine part failures as well. As a child my father would relate how his father's time as a mechanic in WWI left him w

Good to be pushing the limits etc etc, but is this really at all close to being practical yet? Just think of the scale of NZ farms vs the DJI range. Unless they can land on remote charging stations dotted about the terrain it's going t

If they can fix the backspacing issue on Android this will be superb for things like UK sort codes (NN-NN-NN) which invariably are handled badly for mobile users (eg the most common case being the switching to alphabet from numeric keyboard

BTW: If there was something to reduce accidental hits on hide and flag, that would be great. On mobile touch screens, being right under the main links they can get hit a surprising number of times and then you've got to go fumble aroun
