I feel like this is mostly a marketing piece. While it's maybe not terribly wrong (I'm not confident enough to really discuss the topic) since startpage produces a browser extension to manage privacy it seems suspect to me.

How did they find these instructions? Did they just try things while in the red state?

This breaks down when you have commas in your CSV data like if you had something like locations as the quoted string "Atlanta, GA"

It's probably not super "significant", but it's neat. Someone has a light bulb (the omni-directional beacon) 40 km away, and completely invisible if you go looking for it (from his ground station location). The author po

I think it probably has more to do with path loss than the multi-path effects that the rain drops would have. That is the reflection from water in the cloud only has to travel through a smaller amount of rain than it might if you were doing

I see an article with a first subheading of "In this report, we apply basic scientific techniques to answer the question “Is Kansas as flat as a pancake?”." It's kind of a funny article. Maybe try this mirror: https:/&#

This is really nice. Have you given any thought to visualization of non-Gaussian processes / systems (think particle clouds, or systems that are mixes of Gaussian and non-Gaussian processes?)

Does anyone have sources for suggestions about what we should do? I read these articles, and worry, and wonder what can I do. It's not clear to me that buying organic mono-cropped bananas at the mega mart is in anyway better or worse t

I feel there's probably a benefit to general purpose systems. Most non-general purpose machines I encounter are IoT or PLC devices and the S in those acronyms is for security. At least with a general purpose system I can implement hard

The dual camera is a design choice I hadn't thought of. I've thought of scanning a couple books, and that's probably the trick for me. Though maybe I'll rotate the book and scan / rotate images separately.

No, just a bad joke related to the other (currently) front page story about a cyber attack impacting the beef industry https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27359515

The customer service of my credit card company accepting a charge back is better than Amazon's. If the customer service of <no name vendor> is terrible the remedy is simple.

You can have a time system based around sunrise. I mean with most clocks also being internet connected computers it wouldnt be too hard to make a system where you measure time in hours after average sunrise in a tike zone. That is where I l

My complaint comes from the at scale part. I don't do anything at scale. I don't have to scale. My core competency is as a library or tool builder, and often my primary deliverable is a tool or library. In the past year I got a ne

Yeah if there's an added fee I reach for debit or ACH, the points I get back on the CC purchase never pays back the transaction fee for bill payment.

The biggest reason I have my preference of CC first is points and to a lesser degree consumer protection. I'm guessing you couldn't let me use Amex as a middle man between me and your service and not charge some fee, and I have a

My preference is always auto pay, in preference order credit card, debit card, ACH. I only allow ACH access for my mortgage. I tend to use the merchants site to set it up, and allow them to draw. It would be nice if there was some kind of r
