Yeah, I'm sure they spent 3 years working on it to get on the front page for only a few hours. I'd get this argument maybe if you're talking about a pet project...

Isn't Booking.com just a 'disruption' of a traditional travel agency? Whenever I hear someone use that term, usually means something is about to get more expensive and less useful

Yeah I agree it is quite invasive, and humans aren't machines. I have a coworker going through colon cancer and has to use a colostomy bag which takes time to deal with. ...Amazon would just fire him for wasting time in the bathroom. S

So attending a KKK food drive would be acceptable if they aren't actively being racist at it? Pretending they haven't said abhorrent things is arguably just as dangerous.

I am a fan of the 4-column style, which what you are saying, separating into 2 bits & 5. I think it's alot more intuitive to see the modifiers in action https://garbagecollected.org/2017/01/31/four-c

I think the use of stupidly could look like you were being demeaning. Personally I wasn't sure how to take it when I first read it; the downside of text communication vs in-person

Ah, so I guess the follow up question is did VW raise their prices to take advantage of the subsidy, basically just pocketing what was supposed to make a fairly-priced car more accessible? I guess that would be tough to get a clear answer w

Is there really any surprise no one wants to pay $45000 for a compact car? What is the profit margin on EVs that its cheaper to not sell cars versus making them affordable and within reach of more customers? Edit: actually I can't tell

Not sure exactly what the OP means by "wrap it", but if you are asking a jeweler to grind it then yes, it would be irresponsible not to mention, even if you thought it was clean. Ingesting/breathing has the potential to be

For any company thats public, Money. Just money. They are not in it to make a good product, or foster good will, those are just unfortunate hurdles in the quest to bring money to the shareholders.

I'm one of the silent ones -- I see Discord and my reaction is not to let them know I dont like it, I will simply go elsewhere. The people who have choosen to use Discord rarely care that others abhor it. And it really sets the mood: t

Take a look at the youtube channel "saveitforparts", he has been doing various satellite comms and recently radio telescope experiments with usually just saved or recovered parts. Much of it is him learning on the way, which for m

I understand the reasons, and it may be great by comparison, but as an end user it's not really acceptable quite yet; people have to be able to use it to get something done and these little frustrations can easily push customers away.

Glad to hear, I really think it'll go a long way in terms of acceptance. And I just wanted to leave some honest feedback, apparently at least one person here thinks i was being a dick, but was not my intention, and I hope you don'

Listening to the example audio the pauses are fairly long and awkward. Having been forced to communicate with AI like this in a drive thru, I can say personally that it's painful enough to make me reconsider ever calling back; I'v

Because there is no guarantee that: A) Twitter will exist within a year B) Musk won't takeover or delete your account C) Twitter has been experiencing plenty of random downtime due "production experiments"/cost saving.

From the looks of the commit it was simply for reporting issues and feedback and is being swapped out for YouTube, likely since Twitter isn't reliable anymore

Funny how people's brains are wired different; to me, when I open/close/drag an "application window", the association is clearly as a viewport. Though I guess they could have called it 'Doors' and my brai

I generally feel the same about the price; but recently on Mt Washington during a storm I was never happier to spend the $4 or whatever for 'premium' weather...3 times :) I also drag it on road trips where I know cell service is s

One problem I see with this is not stranding chickens outside if they didn't return fast enough; I guess you could count by breaking a light beam, or stepping on a plate. Second would be adding a good lock to the door -- raccoons are

No we don't have to accept that. Experimentation belongs in a laboratory, and all these companies can afford to build private, controlled environments, they just don't want to spend the money. The time to find out your car does no

Instead they would be peppered with bullet holes; I doubt these cars would be warmly welcomed in TX either, at least until the experimentation phase is over

Loudly complain to your city. If you have plenty of spare time in your life you could just park anyway, and dispute in court that there is no physical way to pay, and they can't force everyone to own a phone.

Obviously, and nobody said that. But it would be silly for machine to not implement it when it is possible. And it could have alerted this car to the fire truck even before it came into camera view. On a real street, a deaf driver would hav

Do these cars have microphones listening for cues like sirens?

I'm mistaken then; from the block you copy and pasted I misread it to suggest only IE 9 cares about quirks. In my personal use I'd never seen it matter cross-browser before That said, HN works fine.
449.
by petee 3y ago
So no real use, got it. Luckily IE 9 has been gone for awhile My point was its silly because the html self-defines being html the second you open the <html> tag, because what else could it even be?

by petee 3y ago
In defense, half of these look like what I'd call "normal" HTML, granted I'm not up on the latest fads. But "<center>" is depreciated now? Come on. "Width" and "height" attributes too?
