I think you're crossing reliability and availability.

Reliability means 99.9% of the time when I hand something off to someone else it's what they want.

Availability means I'm at my desk and not at the coffee machine.

Humans very much are 99.9% accurate, and my deliverable even comes with a list of things I'm not confident about

Ideally I'd like the same experience I have for Plex et al for my library on supported mobile devices.

Go to app, select book, download to device. Same as I would do with a tv show or movie.

Any chance you'd add ebook support?

Sure, but imagine you're wearing gloves, covered in dirt and mud and oil. I'll take buttons any time over the obsession with touchscreens.

I was in Oslo 5 years ago and even then, the parking meters outside apartments had been retrofitted with charger, and this was on parallel parking spots.

A lot of cold countries have plugs at every parking spot for block heaters. It's not too big a leap to retrofit those for some level of charging.

This is not correct. To the passengers, this just looks like another seat next to a window with a plug installed. It's not a door.

If there was a reconfiguration to a seating standard that required the extra exit, the plug would be removed and a proper door would be installed, with the associated interior pieces.

In Europe they use Engineer interchangeably with Aviation Mechanic.

If this is a tour company, moving a plane, it's not unreasonable that they'd bring a mechanic along in case they needed an inspection on the way. It's cheaper than contracting out a lot of the time.

A lot of your lifestyle changes.

You buy groceries more often, but less of them. Or you bring a wagon or those metal carts.

Furniture etc. gets delivered. Because everyone gets deliveries, the cost is lower because they have stable demand.

With good transit, you take it to the station or rental car if you're doing a road trip.

This is incorrect. As soon as one incident was found, they would have had to ground the fleet until they had checked all the rest of the planes.

It's not a should, could, maybe, it's a your fleet is not flying if you find a problem like this and haven't checked.

New comment by Pasorrijer in "Tell HN: I'm not comfortable with Google Maps showing all my reviews to everyone"

Pasorrijer — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 17:38:23 +0000

I disagree. I review when I have polarizing experiences (good OR bad), or when I want to show support for a business.

I think tying a review to your google account is also good, because anonymity on the internet is generally used by people to say things they wouldn't say in the real world, often in harmful ways.

Pasorrijer — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 17:59:55 +0000

This is interesting, but I don't see any of the major banks... Only online / brands that seem new or I've never heard of.

People might get scared off if they don't see the big names they are used to IMO.

Other than that, UX looks neat. Would be nice to be able to type in the country search boxes.

I mean, potentially.

The reality is they try to protect as much of the assets as they can and even those over 250k will probably not lose as much as they would have without the FDIC

Just an FYI, the first link (NMEA OneNet) sounds great, but isn't actually used by any of the major manufacturers yet sadly.

Also, only NMEA2000 is based on CANbus, NMEA0183 is not.

As someone with a boat, Signal K is super useful. It doesn't necessarily replace the other standards, but it means I can take my cats pajama's worth of other standards (NMEA0183, NMEA2000, homegrown Ethernet sensors) and ingest all of that data into one platform. After I've done that, it's really trivial to visualize it all in one place.
