Is there some sort of swipe data standard? If there were, it feels like getting a few proper OSS projects going might start to shift things in the right direction (assuming they cracked a way to share a bit of anonymized data)

Why would any people need to see the addresses at all? The solution being proposed is something that you'd automate with a series of heuristics. And your point about the company making the same money for shipping to scalpers vs non sca

I wonder if it's fair to say Tesco are experiencing being treated somewhat like they treat farmers!

That's for a single page, this handles the whole site. Also the browser Save As options often work poorly.

Yes, this subtly seems worth noting. That smoothness suggests that even if many of the concepts are common/non-original, the bringing together of various pieces in a form that works well on modern mobile browsers is still impressive -

This commercial abuse is reminiscent of what Wimbledon is doing with land left for public park land which various parties are ignoring so the land can be used for tennis facilities. I'm a fan of the tennis but that doesn't mean th

It is literally the same link, it was the original and it had the correct title rather than the editorialised one here. At the time I posted it, both were pretty lacking in attention, so it made sense to direct to the earlier of the two.

All our maths teachers were at school were left handed, along with 25% of the top maths set in our year. The teacher and student population of left handed people were close to the normal 10% levels too.

Yes, exactly this. It falls far short of the potential if it just shows the colours alone and not how they might appear if applied to sites, charts, illustrations or whatever you might want them for.

This is ridiculous - passengers want to be dropped off in the zig zag lines either side of pedestrian crossing too, but that's illegal. Just because sneaky minicab drivers do it should not be justification for self driving cars - they

The recent post on the Universal Connector Kit reminded me of this toy / system, originally red and black but now more colourful, which I recalled playing with as a child. It was remarkably versatile! Did anyone else have this?

Yes, but that esoteric nature is the charm of HN at its best. This is unusual as posts go, but it's not totally unreasonable and even though I wouldn't have an immediate use, it's fascinating, leads to further exploration (li

My "favourite" with this is the new Windows app (terrible new name for the remote desktop app). You now have to sign in to use the app but then as soon as you connect to any corporate resources (ie remote PCs/Cloud PCs), you

I love this site - it has been listed before, quite a while back, I seem to remember. Seeing it again, with how powerful phones are and what good macro cameras they often have now, identifying sand seems like it would be a fun ML + mobile a

Sorry, might be obvious to some, but is that rate applied to the whole screen or can certain parts be limited to 1Hz whilst others are at a higher rate? The ability to vary it seems like it would be valuable as there are significant portion

To take this further, if the focus really is the "luxury" part of the market, how do they expect this sort of response to go down well with customers?! If someone is interested in paying luxury size fees, do they really want some

Overall some potential here, if they follow through, but it's amusing that the first bullet point is essentially "more new surface we can accidently break".

I recall it being crap back in 2009 when the mobile software was highly flakey: it would sync over 1Gb of my playlists but was really unreliable so every few days it would get corrupted and require to resync the data in its entirety. At the
