Well, the vibe I'm getting from these comments is people reacting emotionally, and assuming the study concludes that smoking cannabis causes memory problems. But the article itself says: > The study has limitations. It was an uncon

I love that you included numbers, but that is for all of Alphabet's "other bets" which includes Waymo, so it's not entirely Waymo. It still helps give ballpark figures though.

Well, it's hard to fly a plane without an engine. Just a minor detail though. How hard can the hardest part really be? Also you should always save the hardest part for last if you want to be sure you'll succeed. It's only

Irrationally optimistic people will tell you they have a device that defies the laws of physics (I mean hard laws, like conservation of energy or the speed of light), and investors will give them money. I have seen this happen enough times

Blind optimism is just as obnoxious as blind pessimism - both are based on ignorance. Boom still hasn't solved the 2 hardest problems after nearly a decade. Currently regulations prohibit supersonic flight over land. It's a tot

Personally I hate that all of these topics get flagged on HN and I wish we could discuss it here. So from my perspective, you are making HN worse by stifling interesting topics. So it goes.

Are you willing to pay 10x the price for 1/2 the travel time? And even if you are willing to pay that, are there enough people besides you willing to pay that to sustain this business model? I'd imagine most people in this wealth

I never said he was unpopular. I said you weren't paying attention - and every single thing I mentioned happened before the acquisition. You are being willfully ignorant.

There is a difference between "wow my CEO really sucks" and "wow my CEO had another kid with an employee, regularly talks about the importance of breaking labor laws, shows up to work visibly high on a regular basis, and enjo

You haven't been paying attention. This guy famously called a diver a pedophile because he insulted his half-baked submarine idea. That was 7 years ago. Also, if you were really an investor ready to commit large amounts of money, you

The most powerful country on the planet has been taken over by oligarchs and your concern is for the investors? As someone who regularly invests in high risk stocks, you'd have to be a complete fucking idiot not to see this coming. Th

You are repeating all the talking points of GME holders, including obscure things almost nobody knows about, and it's just a coincidence? At least have the decency to be straight-forward with your arguments.

I'm angry because apes are the most obnoxious people on the internet and you never shutup about your stupid conspiracy theories. So you're just pointing out that markets are poorly regulated and it's a total coincidence you&#

My point is you're a bag holding conspiracy theorist who brings up irrelevant talking points as though it's a viable investment strategy. Yes, the markets are poorly regulated. Everybody knows that. You've been consistently

Nobody is denying naked shorting exists. What I want to hear is why your beloved GME is going to go up as a result of something that happened 4 years ago. So your thesis is that the market is rigged, and has always been rigged, but this

He's regurgitating all the GME holder talking points. I'm challenging him to present his conspiracy theory because I know it is full of loopholes, inconsistencies, and is built on almost no evidence at all. Or better yet I'm

Then provide evidence of how the chaos functions. And if you can't do that, then you don't actually know that chaos is the correct answer. Any evidence at all is an improvement over throwing out a buzzword salad with no explanati

Are you able to succinctly explain how it works, with meaningful references (not posts in a controversial subreddit)? Because if you can't do that, you're never going to convince anyone and it seems you care more about being &quo

A healthcare CEO was just murdered and the killer is considered a hero. Many are even referring to the dead CEO as a serial killer because of all the preventable deaths he profited from. You're not paying attention if you think peopl

> $80k is by no means “privilege” Privilege is relative. There are around a billion people today that won't make that much money in their entire lives. And most people alive today will never save even 1/10 that much money.

I think the reason electric aircraft are struggling is because of physics. Gasoline has far more gravimetric energy density than lithium ion batteries. And weight matters a lot more for flying than driving. One of the benefits of gasolin

It's possible for people to like you without you liking them back. It's not the most likely explanation, but it's a plausible one.
