she called her husband, from jail, and asked him to move them so they couldn't be used in court against her. she said "do whatever you have to do". the cops listened to the phone call, watched him load them into the car and arrested him on the drive. i think it's pretty straightforward that she was asking for his help in obstructing the investigation by hiding potential evidence against her.

fwiw, tesla, the biggest "no physical buttons" company, does not have this problem at all. it's always very responsive, window buttons always work, there's no "startup" delay at all.

so i guess the choice is between companies that do tech poorly (legacy automakers) and one that does it right but with a big touch screen.

we get the whole US AID budget back, aside from PEPFAR. it's a good example of a case where they cut too much and undid some cuts.

surprisingly, it works excellent in rain. i was on the highway in florida in a torrential downpour, the kind where everyone turns their flashers on and goes 25mph. many people pulled over to wait it out. FSD handled it perfectly even though i could barely see. it did show a warning that it might be degraded due to weather, but there was no change in performance.

i can't speak for snow tho.

Hi HN - we’re building Payout.Team for freelancers, consultants, and contractors who work on projects together.

Here’s how it works: a users sends an invoice to their client, when the client pays, the funds are automatically routed to the members of the team / subcontractors. Payout.Team takes care of all the on-boarding and tax paper work for the subcontractors, including internationally.

With Google Fi you have to have a Google Pixel Phone, and it just works. Google is a MVNO so they can buy tower time from any carrier.

Edit: And yeah it's a single SIM.

They are Vegan. From mcd's website:

"Our World Famous Fries™ and hash browns are go-tos for our vegetarian and vegan guests. Since 2007, we’ve made them without any animal-sourced ingredients. We cook them in 100% vegetable oil, in a dedicated fryer separate from our meat items."

I'm really glad that this worked out for you. You have a great partner and are very lucky for that. This won't be the case for everyone that follows your path. I can't help but be reminded of this quote:

"Realize that sleeping on a futon when you're 30 is not the worst thing. You know what's worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you're not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple kids, and you got a job you hate. You'll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There's no risk when you go after a dream. There's a tremendous amount to risk to playing it safe."

Agreed. Mimblewimble / Grin / BEAM are also interesting ideas here that can provide scalability with privacy.

Additionally, I wish Stallman would research for himself instead of asking an expert, but oh well.

I can't say I agree. A gov can't pry the secret key to my coins from my brain (yet). You can much more easily freeze a bank account and garnish whatever you wish.

Additionally, Satoshi himself advised to never re-use a bitcoin address. It's foolish and makes it easy to link your transactions to a single entity (you). If you use a HD wallet, which almost every bitcoin wallet software supports, and is the default in the majority of them, you will not reuse an address. This is because it becomes impossible to tell if you sent money to yourself or another person.

Interesting. I suppose it's only a matter of time until someone forks it and changes or lowers those incentives?

But they will have to re-build the user base and since handshake.org is literally giving away $10m to build it's user base, it might be difficult.
