Curious as to why American EVs never took off. The US is the most advanced country technologically and has the greatest soft power in history to make deals.

Must be the confident free speech.

People on this site would literally say "actually you can't do this" as they're being taken away to somewhere to never be heard from again.

Are they initiating or continuing curious discussion? If so, then by all means they are following the most important HN guidelines so nothing can really be done.

I sometimes see the US referred to as a "post-rail" society, meaning that it has outgrown the need for rail for the more intimate, personal transportation methods we see today. I submit that, like other HN commenters say, the US d

I'm in the same boat. Much like Elon has also promised, I'm also using my Tesla as a robo taxi when I'm not in it myself, having it earn passive income for me has been a massive success.

This forum told me that other countries would pay the tariffs for the end customer. Was that incorrect, and if so, how could this forum get it wrong? What other confidently stated truths could also be wrong?

With the one caveat that Australia doesn't have free speech. It's the one thing that sets the US apart and ahead of others.

A reminder that according to the HN guidelines, there's no need to use underscores or other annotations to emphasize words.

I believe it's simple tribal behavior, combined with American blindness to a "free market". They'd rather be correct and put everything in a good / bad bucket instead of experimenting and learning from the experienc

Agreed. I definitely also had a few qualms with the app.

It's an interesting one. From some ex-colleagues, waits in the UK can be up to 5 years for a consultation, not to mention the actual procedure itself. When asked if they would rather use AI for a first initial screening, almost all of

As do I. Mine is even earlier as well!

HN commenters were saying those quotes were taken out of context. I have no frame of reference, but is this not true?

Many ex-employees have said to me that working for Elon did not enrich them at all, either financially or professionally.

There was one person on this site who looked down at candidates (for a normal software development job) who didn't answer his interview question well. And by well, I don't mean being curious and working it out on the fly, I mean t

As someone who has worked in three different countries in a variety of positions, Americans conversed in that way in proportions far larger than other countries. Now this may be due to sampling on my end, but I did find the difference extra

One thing I've noticed is that Americans typically use the latter while conversing.

Interesting. In my experience, the US still has one of highest food qualities in the world, especially when you take into account it's diversity and variety. Sure, some things get missed here and there, but it's also a lot easier

For hackers, wouldn't the best part of ourselves be our technical excellence?

I wrote an extension that lets me tag users, similar to Reddit Enhancement Suite, and it's interesting seeing the intellectual dishonesty from certain actors, yet because they produce "valuable" discussion the moderators take

I'd be cautious about using Claude, given that they're designated as a supply chain risk by the US Government. Why not use the approved and officially certified ChatGPT instead?

Agreed. Considering this attack is also biblically sanctioned, commenters should keep that in mind else they incur the wrath of God.

Agreed. I had an Iranian colleague also reach out who was ecstatic about this news. The hacker in me is curious to see how it all unfolds, as well as to see all the curious discussion that arises on this forum.

Luckily that can never happen in America.

On the plus side, gas and groceries are reportedly cheaper than ever, with the highest job counts and everyone being beautifully happy!

It's especially funny because HN commenters are some of the most likely people to make wild, sweeping claims then once they don't come true, turn back around and say "well no one was actually saying that anyway."

Yet per capita, US vehicle occupants are more likely to be injured in general while on the road than Europeans. Perhaps the driving standards are just far too different.

> This administration was collecting lists of people who spoke negatively about ICE from social media like a week ago. Source for this? This goes against many values of the US, so I'm surprised to see this statement thrown out so no

I find that the US is the most likely country to have this attention to detail.
