| This kind of product will often be expected to be used for 5+ years and the dependency of a non-core service from Google could affect that.

Is related to this quote:

| I'm sort of confused about the annual management / support fee

To spell it out more, here's an apt passage from Stratechery <https://stratechery.com/2017/wannacry-and-the-power-of-busin...:

| This is exactly what is necessary for good security: vendors need to keep their applications (or in the case of Microsoft, operating systems) updated, and end users need to always be using the latest version. Moreover, pricing software as a service means it is no longer a capital cost with all of the one-time payment assumptions that go with it: rather, it is an ongoing expense that implicitly includes maintenance, whether that be by the vendor or the end user (or, likely, a combination of the two).
Looks nice. Though agreed with above comment - a key feature of Bootstrap for me is the themes. I wish there were more good frameworks with beautiful themes marketplaces where I could pay ~$19 for new themes.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be active. Groups like The Anti-Corruption Act (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhe286ky-9A) are doing a lot, not to mention the group that pushed Maine's ranked voting amendment.

But the vote itself is not very useful. There are other forms of activism that are more worthwhile; those that seek to slowly and fundamentally change the system. Focusing on the left right paradigm will ultimately lead people to being angry at two parties that are essentially the same.

In the US, the tax is attached to the property. In England, its attached to the occupant. The 15th Duke of Whatever with vacant land doesn't pay anything.

As old Marx put it, a commodity has two values. A use value, and a exchange value.

Those are good reasons, and I appreciate when the attribute is used properly in these cases. It's annoying to have to say "no, don't remember this updated password" to my browser every single time I visit certain sites that ask for OTPs that my browser wants to autofill.

In the token case, I wonder whether they should have been password fields to begin with. Replacing a 6-digit OTP with asterisks is of questionable benefit, because the shoulder-surfer it thwarts can't reuse the OTP and is really unlikely to swipe it and use it before you do.

Samsung always half-asses their new features. They are so desperate to be first to market or to make a splash they rarely take the time to make it work well.

From previous HN discussions my impression is that the primary issue is with this charge being implicit. Uber already takes its money from drivers, and both drivers and users are participating in the program based on the assumption that what user is charged = what driver gets, minus Uber fee. But then it turns out that what user is charged more than Uber tells the driver (and from what it subtracts its fee), while the company also pockets the difference. This feels wrong.

Oh, any time. In any case, I'm sure there's someone here who won't have run across it yet, and for whom it'll come in handy.

On a related note - is it just me, or does the nigh monomaniacal focus lately on high-capital-investment tools like 3D printers and laser cutters seem like it might come at the cost of a lot that's of value? Like, for example, any interest at all in how to encourage and support kids coming up in places and families where a 3D printer, or a laser cutter, is about as likely of attainment as a nice little house on the far side of the moon? I don't know, I kind of feel that way, but maybe I'm the only one.

`It has advantages and disadvantages. In my city, abandoned property often gets saddled with old tax liens and cannot be given away.

True, but you can make a ton of money when you design a system where you have no labor costs (drivers make no net income). It's not $70 billion, but it is on the order of billions carried out for a decade. Perhaps that is why Uber is so ... nasty. Even with their scummy tactics and greyball and whatnot, they still can't make ends meet.

Also, what is stopping them, or anyone else, from running the same scam with other large capital expenditures? AirBnB could do this with houses, DoorDash could do this with heavy industrial kitchen equipment, etc. It's evil as hell, but Wall Street backed VCs have no issues finding people to do it.

A comment written by the OP of that post:

> 2-3 washes I think? And. 2 soaks in a hot bath tub. But also multiple, uncountable amounts of getting caught in the pouring rain riding a motorcycle. I remember riding during hurricane Hermine wearing them

With raw denim (and especially on the subreddit and other internet forums) not washing it is almost a badge of honor. Months or longer in some cases. Because you're right, you don't need to wash them very often, and also washing them causes them to fade overall, so you lose some contrast.

> I personally buy cheap $30 jeans, have ~10 in active rotation

Ah, but that's the difference, this is often someone's only pair of jeans. So you're comparing $300 of jeans to a $122 pair of jeans. I rotate between a few pairs because I need the variety, but some people may end up wearing a single pair of jeans over 300 times in a year and washing it once or twice.

At this point you're just trolling.

>The company removed language that said Ukraine's artillery lost 80 percent of the Soviet-era D-30 howitzers, which used aiming software that purportedly was hacked. Instead, the revised report cites figures of 15 to 20 percent losses in combat operations, attributing the figures to IISS.
Those of you flummoxed by this probably at some point have questioned why study the immune systems of bacteria (led to the biggest breakthrough of late, crispr) or number theory (led to all cryptography) or build an app to make photos disappear or other things that only later become obviously "useful".
LIDAR is not the only sensor input that self-driving cars will need to operate safely. Cars (on the road anyway) will be warm enough to show up on passive IR cameras. Their tires alone should emit enough heat to detect.

Parked cars, on the other hand, may be a tougher challenge. If I were building a self-driving car, my nightmare scenario would probably be a tire lying in the middle of the road, or a piece of matte-textured furniture.

It makes one wonder what currently isn't being invented simply because it doesn't fit into our conceptual framework.

From https://xkcd.com/radiation/

* Eating a banana: 0.1 µSv

* Background daily dose: 10 µSv

The calculation is probably more complicated, but as a back of the envelope estimation I expect that a banana increase the background radiation in a 1%: So it will be difficult to measure with a cheap equipment just counting the number of detections.

[If your device can measure the energy of the particles, perhaps you can see some peak?]

[If you log all the event for a day, with and without a banana, perhaps the 1% difference is statistically significant.]
Whether they are vendors or employees is still an open question:

Yea, the case is going the defendants way. I understand the idea that if a tech is going through your computer and stumbles upon evidence of a crime that they should be required to report it.

But I don't understand finding evidence in hidden sectors of the hard drive (that's far from stumbling across it). And when the FBI pays for evidence, it should have been thrown out right there.
