   So... don't overuse resources. And when presented with the question of "how does this scale?" don't ignore how fabulously efficiently we damaged the environment every other time we've scaled production up. Not sure

   Sorry, what do tablet chargers have to do with laptop chargers? Like you said, "case in point", phone and laptop chargers aren't really going to be getting confused. I think the point you made about your mother is very valid,

   I think you're understating how big of a difference there is between a laptop charger and a phone charger. Of course two identical AC adapters for phones are difficult to differentiate; the cables are the same gauge, the bricks are abo

   I had the added annoying step of ctrl-f'ing for "Interviewer" and "Elon" and replacing them with "<return> Interviewer" and "<return> Elon", but I think that has more to do with how

   Did you just stop reading the comment after that sentence? I was able to fully charge my laptop from a power bank using a phone's USB cable while everyone else was relegated to simply using their phones and waiting for power restoratio

   I can charge my Chromebook Pixel 2 with my LG G5 charger. It will take forever to charge fully and will drain faster than I'm using it, but it absolutely works. This was still infinitely more useful than my SO's Macbook/iPhon

    Right, but the author was estimating cost over the lifetime of the vehicle, not possible breakeven down the road if they get bored and sell or some other general use-case. In the author's case, is the up front cost they included not en

    I think the point being made was, if you don't plan on selling something, does it matter what it's worth? As in, I'm not going to factor my child's value into my assets since I'm not going to sell it. Or in the OP&#

    I'm against making already cramped roads smaller, especially when the cyclists are going to ride in the middle of the road, regardless. I will definitely look into it though, any good write ups or should I just check the city's we

    It may be the area I'm in, but the proportion of cyclists I see: - run a red light, riding past stopped traffic (often, cutting into the crosswalk as if that makes it any safer or more defensible...) - not stop at stop signs - ignore

    Most cyclists in my area (a significant portion of the transient population is college students) tend to forget that bikes must also follow the rules of the road. My small city is seeing a huge increase in bike paths between the downtown pa

    I'm not OP, but I'm interested in the fact that you specified C++14. Are there any features specific to C++14 that you use? I have about two university classes worth of experience with low-level software, but I can really only see

    Could you possibly explain for those of us out of the loop as to why? Otherwise I could simply say: "This is the most wrong comment I've seen on HN in a long time. The SLAM in smartphones are the same as the one in Hololens. Pro

    That actually makes a lot of sense. There's not a particularly good reason for OEMs to make specifically Cuban machines without Ethernet ports or WiFi adapters.

    Thanks for your input, this is a really interesting parallel. Although, you didn't have to worry about censorship and a repressive government in Canada, you're probably right that it will disappear. Do you remember what kinds of s

    You're right. The point is that it's not a covert form of oppression, it's de facto. There is a straight, white male clique-iness to the programming world. Most blog posts assume the reader is a straight, white male. These

    Thanks for helping me understand both of your viewpoints. I can definitely see how that comment can be seen as spurious now and will try to avoid those sweeping generalizations.
