Really impressive software running these vehicles, and interesting to read how it handles these cases. An interesting comment was made in another HN thread- when the streets are filled with self-driving cars, pedestrians will be able to ste

This is some customer service right here, well done.

Wasn't suggesting otherwise, just trying to be clear that you can (and I do) use Jekyll on its own to build a site.

That's legit fun just to watch.

Just an FYI, you don't have to use Jekyll with github. The integration seems convenient, but I run it on its own to build my static site (blog) on my own domain.

Yesterday's HN article on the topic said two versions, seating 2 and 4 occupants.

I meant fixed per person, regardless of medical services rendered. But as others have pointed out, Amazon most likely self-insures, so they take on the risk and stand to gain much by dropping an unhealthy person.

Thanks, good info!

A blind vote. I can dig it.

The insurance company saved money, but did Amazon? I thought the portion of premiums that employers pay is fixed? That's why everyone pays premiums- the healthy subsidize the sick. And when there are more healthy than sick, the insuran

Heinous? If you had a 7 year old, would you let them use a device with unrestricted wifi access?

Wow, what a short-sighted and ill-conceived move on Twitter's part. I know the answer but I still have to ask- has Twitter used the internet before? Don't they know how it works? The first thing many people do when they see a cont

This isn't communication every few months. More like every hour, and it's only that sparse when locking down the privacy settings. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/even-w...

I mean a response now that there has been a sizable backlash (especially from the tech community) on the privacy settings on Windows 10. The consistent "phoning home" no matter what privacy settings are used.

Has there been any response or explanation from Microsoft yet with this situation?

It's really hard to sell/explain to the uninitiated because it's a diverse platform. Even my twitter feed is very diverse- breaking news and headlines from the beat writers for my favorite teams, activists and protesters cove

This. I get that they want sign-ups, but it's hard to sell the service with that page.

I don't think the direction was wrong, I just think the implementation was awful. But your point still stands, it ended up harming the product.

Weird article title. I was hoping to read an article about the constraints of building tall roller coasters (and hard limits, if any). This is just a review of 4 tall roller coasters, not even the steepest ones[0]. TBD if we can build one w

Thing is, we use both systems now. What huge cost is involved by saying "Starting in 2020, the metric system will be the official unit of measurement in the US." Manufacturing companies can switch as soon as they want to. Most con

I'd strongly consider voting for a US presidential candidate solely on if moving to metric was a big part of their platform. So much time is wasted in school on the confusing mess that is the imperial system.

I don't think Sesame Street is as huge for kids now as it used to be. There's just so much more content available now, including on Netflix. Still good for HBO, but not a reason for most parents to switch or become customers.

A one-time dirty process for a future steady source of clean energy. Isn't it still much better than continually burning fossil fuels? And if we're counting extraction costs, don't discount the extraction cost to get fossil f

Arstechnica is another good example of membership. If you're a paying member, no ads. Otherwise, ads. Best of both worlds and you give your audience a choice in how to support you.
