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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Are you aware of any mobile apps for Pixelfed yet?

I saw someone from your team post on r/Sasquatch awhile ago and I meant to check it out. Seems like a lot of great features... but yeah, discovery is really important.

That's actually pretty surprising.
