The time most people wake up is dictated by when they need to be at work. They can't simply "get up later".

Names aren't unique. I have a pretty common name, I even have the same name as someone else at my current (not very large) company. Should I be blocked from everywhere that has fired someone with the same name?

> "The move will affect 315 people, who will be notified by the end of the business day." I'm guessing more than a few found out from this article directly. What a rough way to find out you were laid off.

All of the videos I have seen of the summon feature have been pretty bad. A lot of time the vehicle can't seem to figure out what to do. I imagine that will get better with time, but if I had a Tesla I wouldn't be using it now. I&

> Obviously it is also a good fit for low scale use cases. Is this a given? Just because something is necessary at scale doesn't mean it is a good fit for low scale use cases. I would expect the opposite is actually true.

I have long thought that there is an opening for local grocery stores to take a lot of this market. Many of my local supermarkets (HyVee, Walmart) allow for online ordering, but they all require the user to input items one-by-one. If they a

Does the group of people who meal prep line up with those that don't want to think about meal prep? One of the benefits of these meal prep kits is that you end up with a freshly cooked meal. If you are going to be eating a prepared mea

You are forgetting taxes (FICA, state and federal income taxes, etc), which would eat up a significant portion of those savings.

Would it? I can imagine at least some companies would stop worrying about security since they are insured if something goes wrong.

You can run into issues with headerless JWTs when you can't (or don't) guarantee the order of the header. Since the header is included in the signature of JWS objects, you must reattach a header that is exactly the same, and not j

This looks like a great idea. There were a few times I got in trouble at work in high school because I didn't see updates my boss had made after I checked the schedule. This would avoid any of the he said/she said BS. Can this be

2.5 seconds to 0-60 and only 2.7 seconds 0-100? That would be a pretty scary 0.2 seconds. Some back of a napkin math puts that at around 32,000 g. (I assume that was a typo)

Very true. The HN title mislead me and I thought there was no way it was true (which it isn't) Even the "quickest" is up for debate since this only measures 0-60 time, but I think it is leaps and bounds more accurate than &q

Ah, I didn't notice that it hooks up to existing speakers. I'm curious how many people will use that however. My anecdotal experience is that most of the people that actually own an Echo are fairly tech illiterate and benefit fr
