Same with Target. I’ve switched nearly all of my household buying over to Target because they have an awesome app, good shipping, and no counterfeits.

I used to feel the same about Target until my SO mentioned that they have a 3rd party marketplace now. Is that true? I didn't bother to check yet

Yes and it's got the same counterfeits and totally fake garbage from the same sellers who sell on Amazon, Walmart, and Newegg.

Apparently its a curated list at the moment and invite only for 3rd party sellers.

I forget the specifics, but we've already seen some recent garbage listings on Target. This was a mistake.

It sure does get them a lot of attention though! My Jeep Cherokee has lane assist, adaptive cruise control, auto-parking, and crash detection (emergency braking) but they don’t get all this press about it.

But it doesn't automatically change lanes to follow routes or pass slow traffic. It doesn't take exits or navigate interchanges. It doesn't stop for stoplights. You can't drive it around a parking lot from your phone with nobody in the driver's seat.

What Autopilot offers is not "Full Self Driving", but don't pretend like the features on your Jeep are equivalent.

Because the execs at Jeep know the limitations of their platform, Tesla on the other hand just loves to roll the dice.

And which automaker has the largest market cap in the world currently? Not Jeep.

And, so what?

The market deems Tesla (and their approach) of higher value.

Maybe because it’s not the same ? I don’t own a Jeep but Lane assist typically means warning the user if you drive over the line. Tesla steers by itself and more.

Adaptive Cruise Control typically works only above a given speed. Tesla’s does work at low speed too.

At least Tesla cars seem to do more than the German cars I have driven before.

No that is lane departure warning. Lane assist, which almost every major manufacturer now offers, does the steering to keep you in your lane, and combines with adaptive cruise control to follow the car in front of you at a safe distance. This is almost universally available, and not specific to Tesla at all.

But is Lane Assist equivalent to Autosteer? I own a Model 3, which also has Lane Assist as a separate feature. I'd say it's a gentle nudge, while Autosteer has full control of the steering wheel (with a fairly high resistance).

Right, but by the same token there's also a reality distortion field where some Tesla owners believe that they have functionality that no-one else does.

I have had multiple people tell me about how revolutionary Tesla's blind spot warning system is, because it's adaptive to relative speeds, and not "just a dumb sensor like everyone else's".

Except even my entry level 2015 Audi has it. Car in your blind spot or just behind that's at your speed, or slower? Warning time is adjusted accordingly. Sit in traffic while cars whiz by you in the HOV lane? It accounts for the massive speed differential and alerts you far earlier.

But somehow at least some Tesla owners think that "no-one but Tesla does this".

Ah sorry, I was conflating two technologies (which are basically the same in my model). "Available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist alerts you with visual and audible warnings during unintentional lane drifts and corrects your vehicle back into its lane."

I get a visual (and optional audio -- which I disabled) warning and a little steering wheel resistance to bring it back into the middle of the lane.

While I'm not sure what the minimum speed for adaptive cruise control is, but I use it in freeway stop & go traffic often.

I’ve been using Retouch for a long time. It’s $1.99. Worth it many times over. https://adva-soft.com/app-pageTouch.html

Love removing my dog’s leash in otherwise cool photos.

This doesn't appear to have anything to do with 1997 ICQ besides the name.

I just logged in with my 23-year-old account, pretty sure it's the same. Kind of unsettling to see all the contacts still there!

wild... I haven't been able to use my old account for a very long time... created a new one a few years back, tried that one... neither seem to work...

I don't want to make a new one tied to my phone number.

That's odd, others are saying their old account doesn't work. I wonder what the difference is. Either way, really interesting it still works.

that's insane. i wish i remembered my credentials

Just as the case with Skype that changed like 3 protocols, 2 architectures and 4 ownerships in its existence. Would you say it has nothing to do with original Skype?

Some corporate polices require 6 digits. I literally am not able to set a 4 digit pin on my watch or my phone because of the policy.

When someone recommended it to me last summer, I was hesitant to be yet another content creator for yet another platform. Then I saw it was run by science foundations! Signed up immediately. It’s been fun in Colorado to learn plants that I see on hikes.

Check out Tech Gear Lab and Outdoor Gear Lab. They’re based in Tahoe and the company purchases every single item they test. When they’re done with testing, they often put the gear up for raffles locally to support mountain bike trails and outdoor non-profits. The folks who run it are all really great people.

Don't let public companies become your city's transit.

It was a very popular service back at the hey-day of blogs and RSS readers. FeedBurner gave blog authors really great statistics and information about the feed, and they created a nice a static URL to point readers to, no matter where the blog was hosted. We didn't have a lot of that statistical information easily available back then (like how many people were subscribed) with the common blog platforms (like Moveable Type or Blogger). FeedBurner also provided a way to interject ads into the feed, since the person reading it wasn't seeing the ads on the normal site.

I believe you're quite right, it would be extremely unwise to use this tool at this point. I'm sure it will be vanquished with no warning.

I was quite surprised to see a Sun article on HN today. Been a member as soon as I moved to Denver last year and have loved seeing it be such a high quality source of journalism.
