You also need to house these servers, including backup power etc., manage them, maintain them, develop and deploy the software etc.. Also, you should really check the power usage of enterprise disks and servers; it may be cheap, but it&#x27

I think the idea behind no-blame culture is that a single person shouldn't be able to cause a massive incident on their own (assuming no malice), so finding a victim to put the blame on isn't helpful anyway. Also, if you start bla

Be careful with ex-rental cars. These things have been abused to hell and back; think full throttle on a cold engine, the cheapest fuel available and a lot of unavoided potholes. On the other side, you know they have been maintained, but ex

A car with knock sensor will detect lower-quality fuel and pull back timing. This will usually limit your power, but not damage your car. My car manual even explicitly states that it won't affect engine lifetime. Full disclosure, I sti

Here's my edgy take - I think this sentiment comes from increased usage of HN. If you browse the start of high-voted threads from the front page, you'll usually find a pretty good and calm discussion. If you scroll down to the low

Also, see this comment from 2009: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=607789 I think we can pretty safely say that 13 years in, the transformation hasn't finished yet. So it's totally okay to discuss this (as cle

It's pretty funny in context of the comment pg made on its release thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=607285 I'd still agree.

A (conservative) 25% reduction in car usage for a neglegible fraction of the GDP sounds like a great deal, actually.

They are right, but people really hate to give out their real phone number - especially since they get leaked this way and then abused, so in the end they have the bot problem.

I don't get the hate against OpenOffice. Sure, LibreOffice is clearly superior right now, but does it really hurt to have a second option, bad as it may be? There's no reason the two of them can't co-exist. Also, the current

The syntax looks a lot like Rust, though. I'm surprised they made such a break when there explicit goal is to make migration from C++ as easy as possible. Also, Rust (from my biased point of view) is currently on its way to become th

It would be quite funny if he got Twitter into SEC trouble, just to become it's owner a bit later; especially given their history. Anyway, this is just my unprofessional opinion, but for him to be able to prove intentional deceit is al

And the "not related to the deal" part is the problem - even if he wins this claim, this does not necessarily constitute MAE and therefore does not get him out of the deal. Due diligence includes verifying those numbers or at leas

Even 20% would not fly, winning with MAE in Delaware is basically impossible - the one case where a buyer actually proved MAE there is still referred to as unicorn. Given that Elon waived due diligence and even openly talked about the bot p

He signed that he knows everything he needs to know about the company and wants to buy it. Now he wants to back out with the claim that he actually did not know everything, which is a pretty hard sell. Though it's important to note tha

I think this is contained in the question of what the share price will be if Elon gets away. In fact, the math in this test only rounds to straight-forward if you either have a good idea of what the value of the stock will be if the deal fa

A better argument: People will always try to dupe, deceive, get rich and get their way. Capitalism is - so far - the best way to channel at least some of that energy into building something productive for society as a whole.

Which ones? Basically any way of him dumping billions of Tesla stock would've immediately popped the price. With this action, not only did he get plausible deniability, he also got a massive distraction on top.

According to this theory, he never intended to buy Twitter. He just used the offer to liquidate stock without raising too many eyebrows and now he's backing out, with a few billion extra in cash and, if everything works out for him, no

There's a lot of things Elon is not, but he definitely is a smart business man and he can manage hype.
