I don't actually have a big problem with this. The issue with punishing people for their tweets or comments about Hong Kong is that you are taking action against them for an opinion they have. In this case, they are just preventing peo

Isn't that the point of HN? Everyone agrees that it was terrible that it happened, so repeating it isn't very productive or interesting

What is the problem people have with the ICE? I think most people would agree that it is important to have a department to handle immigration, and they are deporting significantly fewer people now that during the Obama administration.

I think it is important to separate out criticisms of 2FA over sms, and companies who say they have 2FA. I think even in practice 2FA over sms is definitely better than nothing, it's a lot harder to both guess someone's password,

The idea of "cancel culture" is generally surrounding boycotting people for opinions unrelated to what they are doing. Blizzard suspending the Hearthstone player could be considered "cancel culture," although I don'

If you want to actually get a pretty decent idea of how much you can make, someone made a good video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do1VLjNg6AE Your earnings vary a lot based on what kind of video you make so it&

Is that any more unethical than going out for wings, even if you aren't really hungry? Maybe you consider both of those things immoral, which is fine, but in that case there are far more animals dying for no real reason on Earth than i

There is a big different between not doing well in parking lots, and being dangerous in parking lots. From the videos I have seen, it doesn't do well in parking lots because it is too cautious - it is safe, but not very functional. Now

Just because you need something, doesn't mean you need to use it. Decentralized communication is a fallback in the event that centralized communication fails, in the same way that cash is a fallback in the case that credit cards fail&#

I think "death machines" is a bit hyperbolic, the speed is capped at 5mph, and I imagine that Tesla is better at avoiding hitting humans in parking lots than a normal driver since it has sensors all around it. Avoiding hitting peo

Sounds like you are just trying to find excuses to insert your distrust of police into discussions where it isn't at all relevant.

How many examples to you have of someone being killed after filing a police report?

Calling SDK's a loophole seems pretty strange. It's not like SDK's have any more permissions than you grant to the app or anything, there's no real loophole here. Maybe this is surprising to very non-technical people, bu

The nice thing about light rail is that it can actually make public transit more convenient than driving in dense areas, if the tracks are separate from the road. On a bus you are stuck in the same traffic as everyone else, so you might as

You can give people a choice between either being prosecuted as a mentally healthy person, or getting mental health treatment. It's not involuntary but gives mentally disabled people a way to get help.

Somehow I feel like poor people in Kenya are not the primary source of overconsumption. And giving people more money decreases population growth, it doesn't increase it.

I think it is cost savings, to be honest. Probably a lot cheaper to throw a screen in a car and iterate on the design then spend the time to design a proper physical interface. With physical buttons it is very expensive to add a new button,

That sounds a lot like investing based on the previous performance of the stock, which isn't a great investment strategy. I would never want a significant portion of my net worth in a single asset, regardless of how it has performed in

If, even just once or twice a week, you park it somewhere where you can plug it in, the power you get from that will be far more than any panels on the roof. You can take the money you saved from not putting panels on the car, and put much

If 1500 people died from a blizzard, it would be a reasonable response to suggest that those kind of things would be a good idea.

I wish people still used things like GTK. Every app I install that uses GTK has dark mode enabled by default, and fits my system theme.

For Elon, I don't think a tweet implies an acceptance. He frequently goes back on things he says on Twitter.

Well you usually want to do trail braking where you smoothly let off on the brakes as you start to turn, and then slowly apply the throttle. At least if you are racing with relatively normal cars.

If you put a manual gearbox in it, I bet a single bad shift would tear it apart with all that torque at low RPM. Also would probably kill the clutch unless you are a really good driver, and it is hard to shift when you can't hear the e

In what way is "better on track" a bad reason? Lots of cars have features which are only really useful on a track, are all of these cars needlessly complex?

Why don't you think there will be much performance benefit? The Porsche taycan is much faster accelerating than any Tesla at high speeds, probably due to the two speed gearbox. I don't think it is an efficiency thing, electric mot

I am essentially fully cashless at this point, I don't carry cash in my wallet or anything, but I still think it is incredibly important to have the option to use cash should I choose to. If for some reason I start getting rejected by

Cadillac super cruise monitors your eyes to ensure you are looking at the road. Its not perfect but its a lot better than just requiring you to put pressure on the steering wheel.
