I recently had a CoeLux artificial skylight installed, it’s awesome. No matter how ugly the weather feels outside, it’s always a bright beautiful day inside. Definitely worth considering if you have high enough ceilings to accommodate it.

Oh, so now Joe is guilty until proven innocent? Nice!

Yeah, of course. This doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s heard how some of these people talk. Ridiculous accents and the mockery of them are a proud British tradition.

I just bought a Mercedes Maybach GLS for 270k EUR.

The other option when buying cars from Germany is to wait for the seller to receive your transfer, which could take a while if the seller is with a shitty bank. This leaves the seller with both your money and your car.

If I wire 200k to buy a car, I want that money to arrive instantly. I certainly do not want to spend hours at some parking lot waiting for the money to arrive, I want to sign the papers right there and then and take the car with me. No fuc

It’ll be trivial if Apple implements it. Europeans? They’ll figure out a way to require chipTAN and SMS confirmation for POS transactions.

What has comma.ai delivered? Who are their customers?

by prvit 4y ago
No doubt he’s well known. Successful? Comma.ai has raised a rather small amount of money and hasn’t delivered anything except a toy for a couple of nerds. I really can’t imagine by which metric you’d call his work in self-driving “a success

Why would I go read his blog posts? I’ve spent ~years talking to the guy on irc. Why would reading HN takes influence my views on him over my personal experiences?

IPv4 space is a super scarce resource, this is IPv4 space held by non-paying RIPE members. Why should it not be distributed among paying members, many of which are desperate for more IPv4? It’s not like it’s impossible for Russian entitie

This is a lazy troll. Geohot is famous because he used to loudly brag about his achievements. The people making millions selling exploits to the likes of Vupen/Zerodium have very strong incentive to keep their mouths shut.

Geohots actual track record isn’t that impressive though, he’s just one exploit dev with an OK portfolio. >edit: apparently this is a hot take to some, but no real substantive refuting of what's being said- only appeals to greater a

No you didn’t. At no point did you attempt to present conflicting numbers. Instead you sunk to lazy trolling with “is anything true?? question everything!”. Yeah, you can dismiss literally any conversation like that. You started playing gam

Defend my claim against what? I made a specific claim about deaths caused by US forces, nobody has seriously tried to dispute that. You’re trying to push some absurd logic that would also imply that Gavrilo Princip was personally responsibl

First, I wasn’t. Second, QAnon really has nothing to do with politics. It’s an utterly insane conspiracy theory spread by delusional, mentally deranged people.

Your argument is akin to blaming NATO for the war in Ukraine.

> You got all that from "If you remove politics, and focus on twitter."? :) So far you’re the only one bringing up politics in a thread that has next to nothing to do with politics. So yeah, perhaps that’s a fair assumption?

It is pretty surprising that RIPEs solution to sanctions is to just offer their services for free to those who can’t pay due to sanctions.

But what does any of this have to do politics? Why are you bringing up politics? The owner of twitter pushing crazy conspiracy theories on twitter is directly relevant to the topic you claim to be interested in talking about, it can signifi

Wait, you think spreading crazy conspiracy theories is “politics”??

Why do you think it’s ok to strip those people of their agency like that? Is it because they’re brown and you consider them to be primitive people?

I haven’t dug into this deeply for a long time, I’m just going with what I recall off the top of my head. Iraq body count is a common reference, it paints the coalition forces in a rather good light https://www.iraqbodycount.org&

No, not really. It’s silly to blame the US for actions of other groups working to pursue their own goals.

Tables and conveyer belts are hardly something I’d associate with high end sushi, which is usually eaten immediately after preparation.
