Thank you for your valuable input.
No mystery. You can simply make the claim that Apple would detect anything that's anti-Apple. Why not? It isn't like that the company has anything approaching morality, aside from perhaps the occasional craziness from…
>I think your perception of what qualifies as motoring performance is sadly lacking. lol. I think you'd be surprised. Mostly I'm referring to the mass-produced engine itself here, not the car. After all, we live in a…
I'll have to look into it. Given both the financial value of image compression (given the amount of video shoved down the net) and the asymmetry of codec (it's OK to use resources to compress, not so much for…
This seems like a pretty obvious thing to do for some small-run auto maker. Thinking out loud. At what point are legislative controls ever put on car performance, if ever? They've kind of hit the limits on ICE engines…
I was thinking along the lines of getting city council members to agree with insane concepts. The committee all nodding at the wisdom of the new town monorail would be funny as hell.
You know, a person could have a lot of fun cutting in their own video and audio on a talking head in one of these youtube council meetings.
>Have you forgotten the original Tesla Roadster? Not mass market, which is the main (only?) charm of the Miata I think. They're all filled with road-hugging weight in any case. A Triumph Spitfire is 1000 lbs lighter.…
I'm speaking outside of my bailiwick here, but are browsers now the equivalent of Microsoft Windows? Great big, crufty, no-one-really-knows-how-they-work, security risk laden, feature-fat, clumps of software that…
That may be, but is it better to be 'fair' or to save the world's ecology? The coral reefs don't much care if some places are poorer than others. Perhaps one answer would be to allow people to swap citizenships. If you…
That's an argument that stems more from a concept of 'fairness' than one that might save the world.
>New coal plants aren't built The US isn't the world. https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-worlds-coal-power-plants
Considering that the US share of greenhouse gases is fairly small (15% of world total), has decreased quite a lot over time, and becomes harder on the margin, I'd say it's mostly just slinging words for political power…
That's a good point. Generally, I'd say that any group of Native Americans (or folks who profit from them either emotionally or financially) wants to be thought of as the 'first' people who ever lived on that piece of…
>I'd choose the Archive in a heartbeat. I'd have to agree with you. My latest project is to busily download and store everything I might possibly use from the Internet Archive (and Dailymotion/youtube/gutenberg) since I…
I have no problem with lawmakers making stock trades, but you can certainly argue that it is immediately made public. To be fair, there are probably edge conditions where a congressman has direct control over the…
I don't have to read beyond the first paragraph to know that this'll be a rant about 'white supremacy' and how 'evil people I don't like shouldn't be allowed on the internet'. Feh. It's a real shame that Hacker News is…
