Even though I own a Tesla and love it I can’t see a fully electric, long-haul semi making sense for quite some time. For consumers (at least in my own experience) there is a range threshold that, once surpassed, means I almost never have to

Completely agree. I had a thermodynamics teacher in college say “in the history of transportation we’ve never switched to something powered by lower energy density [than the previous mode of transportation]" in other words “energy dens

The linked article's title is "Tesla made $1.6 billion in Q3, is switching to LFP batteries globally" and it's a little more appropriate as it split about 50-50 between discussing earnings and discussing battery technolo

Agreed! Apollo is great (but I’m biased, see below.) I lived with Apollo’s dev for 3 months ~a decade ago and can say he was a super friendly, genuine guy and a was great roommate. Best of the ~500 people that came through our hacker house.

I’m very close with someone who works at a FB data center and was discussing this exact issue. I can only speak to one problem I know of (and am rather sure I can share): a spike might trip a bunch of breakers at the data center. BUT, unlik

This is correct. We even have a brain circuit for this: the reticulating activating system. It's the reason I hadn't seen a Volvo for over 10 years until I mentioned that fact, then saw three that day. So to your point, the RAS fi

I just started switching to Home Assistant and LOVE it. Rather shocked to see this is just now being posted to HN to be honest. Up until the switch I’ve had a patchwork system consisting of Alexa, Smart Life (app), Smart Things, and a lot

Headline is a bit clickbaity, but interesting article and experiment. Man built a testing system to assemble and disassemble a pair of lego blocks. It took 37k loops to finally break them. The real magic number is one. One brick stepped on

Huh, I read the article differently. I read it as more of the difference between cheap sunglasses and a nice brand-name pair. With the cheap ones if they get lost/scratched/smashed you don’t end up caring as much and have less wor

In 2009 I bought an old 1960s muscle car. The interior and underbody were all nice but the paint was really needing an update (scratched, chipped, etc). Fast forward a few years, extensive bodywork, and a whole lot of cash and the car had s

This (for cold brew, at least). I’ve been using a muslin/“nut milk” bag for years. I’ll grind a pound of coffee and let it steep for a couple of days in roughly a gallon of water, then pour it into a dispenser that I can leave in the r

> "I'm probably wasting my time here" Realistically, you've likely answered your question regarding if it's worth it to fight it out. Then again, if you've signed docs that say you own X shares, then Jim can

Not to mention that Jim could be in a precarious position. OP retains all of their shares that were initially agreed upon so offering to retroactively do vesting helps Jim a bit. However, since OPs cofounder paid out of pocket for the app,

I love listening to my engineers. They usually know how to solve something faster and more elegantly then I do. But I'm someone who will learn enough Node/React/python to understand what can, and can't, be done.

I was a bit apprehensive to post this as it has a very personal story of complete failure. But given how valuable it was for myself I figured I owed the rest of HN. Love to hear feedback of what resonated or did not so I can improve. Thanks
