Are they? I see 249g/199g (JP) for takeoff weight in the specs, which suggests to me that with the 100g battery it's 249g grams, and with the 50g battery it's 199g (presumably in Japan, which seems to be a 200g limit where ot

Yeah. I'm in Canada, I have a couple drones. I've seen someone else flying one... once. While I was out finding somewhere to fly. I think what we're running into though is the sheer size of North America. Even within the city

Surface book was just the first time ever for me. (Original iPhone was before I cared) The original Surface Pro was decent, but generally slow and bulky. The first Surface Book, on the other hand, is still a great, versatile piece of hardwa

Yes - per wiki, Alert has Canadian a military SIGINT monitoring station and a couple of weather stations. Eureka seems to just be a research station.

I'm a moderate-temperature Vancouverite most of the time, but - does windchill factor in here? In my limited experience, negative X is one thing, and usually quite manageable if, as you say, you bundle up properly. Once windchill gets

I commented on your original post, but: this seems like a parenting issue, and doesn't really have a technological or regulatory solution.

There's nothing forcing someone to install the app, at least in a stalker situation. Secretly install... maybe, but check your damn phone permissions, people! As with many things, there are good and bad use cases. For teens, it's

Incidentally - I have the reverse issue. I had (still have!) trouble reading JS, because the vast majority of things I've worked on have been in statically typed languages. JS was baffling because I always have to try to infer/rev

Does pixel 4 have squeeze-for-assistant? Quick google doesn't give me a definite answer. I've got that combined with smart lock on the Pixel 3 - it goes a really long way, especially now that I have a smartwatch. (Which admittedly

You know, it baffles me that Amazon is the only tech giant[1] that consistently sounds absolutely terrible to work at. (In my experience - YMMV) How do they keep finding engineers? [1] Well, except Intel. You don't hear about them muc

Everyone is going after the 'go home at 5 pm' part, but missing the point. The moment HN hears about people staying past 5, everyone is up in arms, but... what if I'm staying past 5 so I can leave earlier the next day? Or pas

Like it or not, from a company owner's perspective, it is. Also, it's not like a soulless or poorly configured office has negative effects only after 5pm. I know someone who's in a WeWork office temporarily - they love it, be

I sort of agree, but also can't. A car should be good at driving, that's its job. It does something very different from a phone. However, we rarely use cars just to drive. We use them to get places. Especially in cities, that proc

Huh, someone else with an '18 rogue. Does your wife's have an issue where once in a while it refuses to go into AA, and you have to hard-reboot the infotainment system? Mine does this thing where AA icon shows up, touching it does

While I agree in general, the article indicates this was stopped after 681 of a planned 725 patients, which seems okay. Additionally, my understanding from a quick read is that the SPMS trials were aiming to delay progression in disability,

On the one hand, maybe it would be nice. On the other hand, this style of writing is essentially a subtitle in all-caps saying "I don't know how to write properly and this isn't worth your time", which has its own use in

As I understand it, they're only shipping desktop chips. Laptop chips will come later.

I see this concern a lot, but I can't say I've ever noticed heating issues and I always use the Pixel Stand at night. I'm somewhat unlikely to notice battery life issues, though - my usage is very variable, and I charge a lot

Just to remind everyone that anecdote != anecdata, I've got a 3xl with one of the fabric cases. No scratches yet, and it's even been dropped a few times with nothing to show for it. In short, I think the screen is great. It's

Differentiation between candidates with equal scores is probably done by going through applications and whatever subjective info is provided there. That can be effectively random, but there's not much of an option at that point. > i

Up to maybe 90-95%, I'd agree. Past that... well, that last 5% is often weird bits that you have to specifically have come across before. For something at a first grade level, consider, say, spelling bees. I read a lot as a kid, and co

Interesting. I've never really had any of those issues with my surface book. I might not recommend it if the tablet mode won't see use, though. I do have the original, so I suppose if you got the newer ones things may have changed

I think encouragement and all-else-being-equal preference for in-person vs. online is pretty much a non-factor, short of extreme cases. As mentioned above, there's just no comparison any more. I grew up in the city and had very, very f

The red bull one was settled out of court, wasn't it? Also, I almost feel like the red bull lawsuit is the same deal as the McDonald's coffee one - legitimate complaints being marginalized and derided as obvious issues (humans can

My thought is that signaling before the full check gives the other driver a chance to make sure they're comfortable with and prepared for the change, but obviously you want to know they're there already. I think the missing point

Eh. Having the car self-stop is overrated in my experience. It's really hard to trust it, and not particularly difficult to drive stop-and-go yourself, so long as you accept that you can't rush it. Adaptive cruise control for fast

Hah, I'm the opposite. Despite having pretty great transit here, my needs don't quite line up with the transit network, and so some times are far longer than they are by car, to the point of 20min drive vs 1.5-2hr transit. Given t

I mean, what's the difference between this and customizing billboard ads based on where the billboard is? IMO the issue is not google using IP-based location info. The issue (if there really is one) is people assuming/believing t
