This is actually something I like about Slack’s implementation: reactions don’t generate notifications.

by p51-remorse 2y ago
I kind of get why we don’t like this in email, but for SMS and Slack I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reactions. They’re a way to say “I received this and have a positive reaction to it, with no further communication necessary”. Replaces a lot of us

For three months? Maybe not. Getting right of way to run power lines is no joke.

Premise challenge: I’ve plugged my EV charger in… three times, maybe? The high cycle part is the connection to the car. The connection to the outlet stays plugged in for literally years at a time. Probably some people have abnormal use patt

I can’t believe WIRED is more or less romanticizing this story. This woman: 1. Came here illegally. 2. Committed mass, mechanized identity theft. 3. Put many rideshare users in danger. 4. Had a sham marriage … and then was surprised that a

I’ve had the same car, in the US, for 5+ years now. They’re amazing as an around-town car, and virtually free to drive. I can go to the next town over twice in a day, which is more than I want to. I just charge it overnight on a plain old 1

> Stealing a car is already a high risk crime. Not in SF, according to my several friends who have had cars stolen there recently. The cops don’t even care.

1000 cars could probably be had, new, for $30M. Not much for a large city or state. San Francisco’s city budget is in excess of 14B this year: https://www.kqed.org/news/11957640/budget-deep-dive-san-fran... . Seems

Re entrapment, see discussion on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40916066 - I’m reasonably sure this can be done in a way that isn’t entrapment. (Though whether the 9th circuit redefines it would be a different questio

I thought entrapment had an element of the state convincing you to commit a crime. My understanding is if the state just leaves an Acura somewhere, and you break into it, it’s fair game.

One thing I really don’t understand: why isn’t this trivially solvable with policing? Just make car theft / break-ins a bad play game-theory wise: a few cars on the street are left with the police ready to pounce. You break in to a bai

Easy trick: Every time you get a spam call, answer it. Talk to them until _they_ hang up. String them along. Put them on speakerphone and keep working. Feed them fake credit card numbers (there are generators out there that create numbers t

Radially might be the wrong word; I thought for a while about it. You’re correct, your goal is to present a target that is moving from the perspective of the shooter. Ideally not moving at a constant angular velocity.

I’m only going to engage with you once, because I think you’re being deliberately obtuse in your comments. The following is in case you’re being genuine, and for other’s benefit: There are several orders of magnitude difference between a 9m

The gates exist to keep out people who don’t know how to do that. The people with that level of skill+motivation are _going_ to get in, and shorting some contacts is probably a less destructive way for them to do it.

Trust me - landlords have bigger things to worry about than details of the security stance of a guy who knows enough EE and SW to pull this off. They mostly worry about the guy two doors down who thought Breaking Bad looked really cool and

I’m guessing there aren’t many studies on this, but as a young, fast runner I’d zigzag every time if they’re shooting _at_ me. At least run in a straight line that isn’t collinear with the shooter’s position. Obviously, if you can find cove

If you ever get the chance, go shoot some small caliber weapons. I think everyone should at some point to have a baseline in their head for what guns are. Plus, I think it’d be good for people to know you can become really hard to hit by al

So, we’re all onboard for nuclear, right? And we’re all going to vote for anyone who will fast track building nuclear plants and cut through some regulatory crap? If this is an emergency, and it looks like it is, let’s start treating it tha

As usual, the answer to a question in the headline can safely be assumed to be “no”.

So you’re saying that their current conclusion - that this is significant for heart events, but not in general - is valid statistically? (Honest question)

If something is good for public health or safety, the best way to deploy it is to start selling it now. Exponential growth of production rates means that every day, month, or year you delay is many thousands or millions of units not produce

Confusing title; my initial impression was AT&T was literally hanging up on landline customers when they called support. Article is just using “hang up” in a colloquial sense. Cute, but unnecessarily confusing.

The law, wisely, usually doesn’t do the butterfly effect thing. That way lies madness.
