Nice. But about 10 years late. They should have seen for 2 years from 2014 to 2016 the damage done from their deletion policy.

I like the flip ones for pocket-ability. The camera trade-off is even worst unless you get the expensive galaxy one.
I find your comment much much lower effort than GP you took a snip at. It's true that more ppl may align in your thinking, but dissing the other side's concern as low effort does not belong in hn.
And why not, it's basically near zero risk save billions in tax. The worst case is they fight this for months, lose, and pay minor fines that acts as low interest rate loan.
Hope this gives a speck of encouragement. Just want to call out how I love the clarity in Three.js Resources, in readability, design, and answering why. Eg. https://threejsresources.com/tsl

Is this what HN has became? 22 hours, 200 comments and not a single positive one. I love it. Great classy look and feel. Well throughout keys for swipe. This is likely my next phone. Only wish is a better camera. Maybe MP03 will improve on that.

How do you tell if the bug was your responsibility vs. something they changed after?
Yes, I expected annotations, so please add. I know you named the site 30 papers, but I don't think anyone will hold you to it if you add more papers to it as you read and annotate more, or allow others to do so.

For a site that's named mechanical pencil, its mechanical pencil page is too simple. It should add the shake mechanical pencil and the rotating mechanical pencil where the tip rotates 40 deg or so on every click next.

Shameless plug - https://foldmation.com

Big backlog of folds to approve seems like it's ignored. I'm in the middle of fixing some rendering issues hence I haven't approve them yet. Rendering fixes and fold approvals should be up in a few weeks.

Try the RAZR style folding phones. It trades length for thickness which is a godsend for me. I hate how unpocketable phones has been ever since like 10 years ago.

I go by comments count, so wish that count stands out more
The face and eyes with the chainsaw looks so satire. Is that how you got the name? Hope you are getting enough sales as it does look useful.
90ms is absolutely not an acceptable delay. On a 25mph road, each 90ms is .0006 mile ~= 1 meter. Latency goes both ways, so that is a possible 1 meter before operator reacts and another meter before the corrective action takes place. Like other comment mentioned, remote operations can only be used for high-level instructions (or simpler highway driving).
Thank you, like and agree with the rest of the rules

Can you explain what makes the Brompton design genius?

Edit: the top comment (at this time) has a youtube link that shows it fold/unfold in like 8 secs. I can see the genius in it now

"No friction no shine" is easier to remember and get since it's analogous to "no pain no gain"
