That just goes to prove what a misnomer Tesla’s “autopilot” is, since its core features are just lame assist.

Your timeline’s all wrong. TCP/IP the Internet built on it were already well established by the time the web was born. There was nothing particularly special about HTTP or HTML, or even the concept of the web. What made it a success wa

@oulipo, that's literally all you ever post to HN. It's spam. Please stop. (And that's a disclosure BTW.)

As used by ATMs. Horrible UX in the age of touch screens. Why is this screen not responding to my touch? Oh, buttons... And even then they don't align to the on-screen text.

The picture is not to scale. Still huge, just not as huge as it looks.

My kids are variously vegan / flex, and since I only put milk in coffee, it wasn't worth keeping milk in the fridge for, so switched to one of their alternatives. Soy curdles, so almond it was, until I learned that it takes ~5 lit

We are, by some definition (!), intelligent life. Therefore we can reason about a parallel universe where humanity did not rise to become the dominant species; what the alternatives might be (or have been); and what the implications of that

Unrelated to the article, but the headline raised the question in my mind - is intelligent life an inevitability, and is that a good or bad thing? If the human race had not, would another species eventually rise to a similar position? And w

I'm surprised this has been posted, never mind upvoted by anyone rational. Doing work consumes energy. End of discussion. (There is an argument that it is easier to eat less than to exercise more, but that is a different debate. Ideall

I hadn't looked at google news for a while, so went to see what headlines they'd offer compared to the Apple news app. I wasn't looking for it, or expecting it, but, second headline under "For you": "Letter fro

Could be, but for me at least, I don't get tinnitus too often (that I'm consciously aware of†), and I didn't know that this was one of the supposed symptoms of the alleged "attack" until after I'd played the so

Wow, that second recording (which continued to play in the background after I left the page in the HN reader I’m using) brought on a bout of tinnitus. I only played it on an iPhone at a modest volume (below half), with the phone a comfortab

Where does the law stand if a promotional video made where disclosure is not required is available in the UK?

by scoot 8y ago
Having attempted over the years to gently (or less so) reeducate HN as to the difference between a disclaimer and a disclosure (which somehow seem to be mostly reversed in the collective's mind), I fear you are fight a lost cause here.

Yeah, pretty shitty how the implication in the video is that Mark Rober designed the device (although he does briefly name-check the real creator), but no link in the description to the guy's channel. Rober is going to have to do three
