Maybe one of the reasons is that buying software in general case is more complicated. Kebab around the corner does not ask you for credit card details, delivery address, probably will not want to track what you will be doing while digesting

I’m particularly interested in last three points. Do you mind to share some data? For instance, where one recycle a Tesla battery, say in Poland? I do not see to many chargers around and I believe the grid is not very modern here. Why do yo

It’s a ridiculous argument. You are typing this comment just because this damn not environmental friendly data center exists. But you pay nothing for HN. Hence someone’s do. That maybe this damn dude who made a fortune. But more than that,

I agree with your point in general. However, it will not be fair to say that nobody wants to be a bus driver or keep the internet alive. Think about train driver in Switzerland who enjoy stunning views every day by doing a routine job daily

Reminds me about covid time math competition. It had to be taken online. Usually maximum score can be reached by less than a dozen of students, but when competition was online there were over 3000 math geniuses https://wiadomosci

Your point is very valid. It made me wonder, maybe UI font should be made without personality and without elements that grab attention? The UI elements are less important than the content that is displayed. Therefore UI should not distract

I think the idea might be that companies who will decide to use bard under the hood of theirs chat bots/assistants may use Google suite extensively. Attacker will use the prompt from the article as an input to this custom chat bot and

I totally agree with you. When I’m thinking about switching to, say Tesla X, I need to explain myself how that could be cheaper during lifetime (how long is that by the way?)? The sticker tag is 10 times of the money I paid for my used one

Well, it awesome and great that you live in such a safe place. That does not change the fact that this type of transport is not safe for occupants. And cars are not always the cause https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ne

I really think that cargo bikes should be banned forever as a huge threat for kids inside. I feel like this is invented for those who takes caring of environment as a religion and ready to sacrifice own kids for it. One could say that the d

There is something in the middle like VW ID Buzz https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_ID._Buzz with the size of a SUV and quite a good range between 400 and 600 km. And without SUV safety issues like limited obse

Xc90 length is 4953mm and width is 1923mm VW sharan length is 4854mm and width is 1904mm Therefore the difference in sizes is probably less than your palm. These cars are equally reasonable, it’s just a matter of personal preferences I thin

My 10 years old diesel on full tank makes 800+ km (tested a few times). None of the EVs can make that nowadays, or they can?

I was involved in SEO related projects some time ago. Not that I’m an expert. I’ve heard google understands that the site is a search engine and does not index it. However it should be smarter, like do not index SO’s search pages, but do in

When self checkout desks were setup in my grocery store, there were 2 cashiers and 3 self service points. The queues to cashiers are different, but there is a single queue to self service. After a few observations I found that longer queue

Same thing in Poland. I’m very surprised that this is not a common standard. I saw rage same in Austria, Italy… basically EU countries. I’m very surprised this is not common in US which is usually known as a place where many retail technolo

I’d suspect that using GCJ as a data source they assume that “good” = solving a given round of competition. The further you reached in rounds - the better programmer you are. Not the best measure if they really used it. Coding competitions

It is very common in aviation. That is why at any point in time one pilot is flying the plane and another one is monitoring what the former is doing. The pilot monitoring is responsible for verifying the actions made by pilot flying not to

In Poland home shchooling is a thing. There are tens of thousands kids learning at home. They only need to come to school from time to time to do some tests. They have to pass mandatory exams after year 8 - for primary education and after y

I think you’d not argue that if you flight to the airport without ATC (there are plenty of those), reading NOTAMS about that airfield is kind of essential exercise before flight.

It works in both directions. If someone hits a crane in the fog they will present a NOTAM and you cannot argue that you have not been warned.

But it’s up to airline how they present NOTAMS to the pilot in the briefing package. They can (and do) use geolocation present in some (many) NOTAMs to filter them out. For example do not show the NOTAM just because the flight path intersec

I was working on a suite of projects to compose briefing packages for pilots. Before pandemic the result of this work was present in ~1/7 cockpits around the planet. I cannot count how many millions of passengers impacted by this, in a
