Or it’s like being an engineering manager, where poor direction on your part results in the team chasing rainbows and unicorns in an attempt to please you. But sure, it’s the tool’s fault!

Anec-data, but I was in japan recently on my honeymoon, was in some big and small cities, and I was shocked at how fast people were driving on exactly these types of roads. I grew up in a neighborhood where the speedlimit is 20mph, which is

The article mentions that apple had the opportunity to correct the record and did not. These are multi billion and trillion dollar companies, they should be held to a high standard.

Yes, though fwiw steam provides (in my opinion) more benefits to gamers and games than the apple appstore does to generic apps trying to do all manner of things. And additionally steam isn’t a walled garden, there is actual choice, and stea

Inflation, and the even hire steady increases in cost of living with wages lagging far behind; people have to spend a much larger percentage of their income just to sleep somewhere at night than people did in the 2000s, 1990s and 1980s. Thi

It’s regulated, not illegal. “Experts say the insurance landscape in California is particularly tricky because, in addition to the wildfire risk, the state has a law that adds extra approval measures, including board approval and review by

Did you mean to say unity in your first paragraph? Your second paragraph suggests you’re using a different platform.

As someone who is interested in getting some kind of back up battery at some point, ty for making a recommendation. But could you clarify what you mean by the kWH unit you used on 7 and 21? Seems like those should just be kW, a unit of powe

From the article: "Hurricane Beryl took just 42 hours to go from a tropical depression to a Category 3 storm," according to meteorologist Sam Lillo. "This has been done 6 other times in Atlantic hurricane history. And the EAR

I don’t understand this take, because the elected officials could have always made any law regulating this stuff regardless of this ruling. The fact they haven’t tells us something. And this ruling will result in a lot of the common good (l

What I observed in my neighborhood is that the school playgrounds which used to be unfenced were essentially secondary parks. But they have since been “locked down”, removing more places kids once could just go to hang out in our paved over

As someone with a tesla and with a parent who bought the fsd beta package, I’d be very interested if there’s some kind of payout for consumers/customers!

The title is matching the title of the linked article (if you’re referring to the title here on HN, and not the title the author chose to use for their article). From a pedantic perspective, the title doesn’t imply the positivity/negat

He notes these other forms of HCI in the video, and I think you’re really underselling the main point of this being ease of use. All of those methods are significantly degraded experiences compared to normal ways of interacting with a compu

The sheer joy on this mans face to be able to freely control a mouse again, and engage with general technology. If they’re able to make this into a generally safe procedure, a lot of people will be interested in just that.

Of course, but that’s going to take so much more time and effort. You can see how much joy this man is in just having the autonomy to move a mouse again. That’s honestly amazing.

Keeping satellites in orbit around the moon is very expensive. The moons gravity is lumpy, and if you try to orbit far enough that it balances out, then perturbations from the earth and sun still end up destabilizing it. This means it takes

I haven’t read the article (paywall) so I can’t be sure, but I believe the article is referring to the Intuitive Machines lunar landing. SpaceX has not yet attempted to land anything on the moon.

I was thinking that because it was a roll excursion, assuming that’s along the axis intersecting the plain of the landing legs, it’s not a matter of being upright but rather a matter of being pointed in the wrong direction. Because they’re

I was surprised to learn that it’s actually a fair bit heavier. I was lucky enough to get to attend a talk by the head of the Ingenuity program, and he mentioned how the mass ballooned a bit to something under 5 pounds. (Listed as 4 pounds
