I use a third party tool with shortcut keys that cycle between: full height, left half of screen; full height, right half of screen; full height, full width.

It works well for me, makes it easy to get two things side by side without wasting space.


That's a really nice article. I don't typically read security exploit posts but it was pretty interesting.

In the section about possible attacks, it wasn't clear if those three options represented the worst things you could do or just possible ideas. It seemed to me that locking the throttle to maximum would be worse.


Killswitch is still physical, so I guess unless that's in the bad conditions and, say, in a curve..... But yeah, killing bad.

Having a clear clause to point to when terminating the account seems useful.

Banks can (and in fact are highly incentivized) to close your account if you're using it for criminal activity with or without you lying about it on some silly form.

If wind is "weather-dependent", how should one describe oil? "Peace-dependent"?

Israel(US) toddler tantrum dependent.

Although I found this funny, I'd prefer to see this kind of message on reddit than on HN.

It was not meant as a joke unfortunately.

But thank you for expressing your disapproval so kindly


Yeah lots of sites are reporting 39 km/h but they're wrong. The plane is clearly travelling a lot faster than that.

I find it remarkable that people can put so much effort into a site like this and fail to provide any context at all in the first paragraph.

> Our current voting method is inherently unequal

Who is "our"? Current voting method for what?

Reading on, it seems they are talking about US presidential elections, but would it be so hard to simply state that?


I think the idea is if you're attempting to actually use crypto in the way that you would normally use money (ie, to buy/sell stuff) then you don't want the volatility. So in theory, it takes away the volatility while living within the crypto ecosystem.

But obviously...things happen. Just like cash is usually relatively non-volatile, but financial crashes happen.


How do stablecoins fit in here? You can buy a car with crypto but not cash?

Many EU countries have limits on cash payments, and the EU will enforce a union-wide limit of 10,000€ in 2027. Of course, this limit won't be reevaluated over time, so the real value will decrease with inflation.

I'm just trying to imagine what kind of European vendor is willing to accept crypto for their car. The most obvious reasons seem a bit shady.

The use case would be for transactions between individuals. A friend working at a large industrial firm told me recently that crypto would solve a problem that they have in Asia: orders are often done during auctions from the producer, and require instant payments; however the payment rails take two weeks to clear a transaction. Crypto would fix this.

The fact that it's not widespread doesn't mean that there isn't a usecase.


Exactly as I remember - very few of them actually usable as backgrounds because they're so garish.

But pleasant enough when viewed on a monochrome display.

It says the spacecraft was tumbling, but implies that due to regaining solar power it has achieved a stable position. I'm curious about the missing steps there...
