I doubt it's changed under real driving conditions, with hills, valleys and overtaking happening frequently, where all types of automatic transmissions perform poorly (they can't possibly anticipate an oncoming hill or overtaking,

The automatic gearbox frequently upshifts in error (for example, just before a hill, making a downshift immediate) and downshifts too late when overtaking, resulting in erratic behaviour, lots of revs, and considerably more fuel consumption

It hasn't changed, automatic gearboxes still eat up more fuel than their manual counterparts on the same cars.

We can't know this per se, but we can estimate it, even from mere anecdotal data gathered all 'round. All of my Russian friends and colleagues claim the same thing about the people they know in the boomer generation and even young

It shouldn't matter. Move all cars underground, bridges are ugly (when up close / under), noisy and crime ridden.

It's happened in the linux kernel before. There's no "major" difference, it's just development as usual.

As a European whose country suffered and was enslaved for long periods of time, I take offence in the rhetoric of "Europeans" committing such crimes. Be specific, a subset of European nations, a subset of American nations, and a s

I was wondering about the morality of using candidates' solutions in your products. Does the hiring company own the test results? Does the candidate? What if the candidate gets hired, who owns the solution, then? The candidate does not

Would you have done it had it not come to HN's attention? Don't bother answering this, it's rhetorical, and I'd expect a lie for an answer, anyway. You've abused many other projects, some linked in the comments here

Awesome animations, but the NFT sale link got me to close the tab and stop exploring, thinking this is just some spam trying to scam more people.

It's not the 0.1% money they're after, it's the rest. Keep your money (or don't, you may cave under your family's pressure). There's too few of us to have an impact.

Phone number porting is a thing due to regulation. I'm looking forward to having email address porting legislation, one day. For full porting, there's a long road ahead, starting with regulating domain names, which email addresses

Ethereum is also part of the shitcoins given the ridiculous amount of premined, but their marketing is considerably better.

The eternal answer "on our roadmap", translates from PR-speak to actual-speak: "no significant userbase to justify any work". I guess we'll stick with gnu-screen and tmux for the time being.

Meanwhile, in Romania, IKEA owned (through "Vastint") Băneasa Forest is being redeveloped into a 476k sqm (118 acres) residential area. My point here is, once they own the forest, they may choose to redevelop it any any time.

Wouldn't such international data removal agreements also include backups? What's the point in removing PII from one of the databases, if it remains in their backups?

> Who's "they". ETH Cofounders got to keep 10% of the premined pool; Ethereum Foundation also got 10% of the premined pool. I'd presume these are "they".
