I like this commercial for an electric smart car which demonstrates the importance of acceleration vs top speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1iJJZfB7i0

I hadn't considered that, but I can indeed see the potential huge benefits there. Especially considering that their next iteration is the Airlander 50, with a 50,000kg capacity, which would put it at a fair middle ground of current car

I thought perhaps it would have superior cargo capacity, but at 10,000kg [1] it's just a bit over half of the lowest capacity listed on Wikipedia's page for cargo aircraft. [2] Currently available aircraft have 5, 10, or even 25 t

I can agree with that, however his interest in an issue is a primary indicator of its importance for me.

I use Inbox, which parses trip itinerary emails. I recently took a trip to London from the US and ran into an issue with a connecting flight, it was delayed by several hours. My Android phone, with Google Now, alerted me to the delay before

The article cites approximately 50,000 miles per year. At 5 working days per week of driving, that would equal approximately 190 miles per day. The Model S page on Tesla's web site calculates that at 45 mph with the AC on (a reasonable

This might benefit from the code at https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4597134 , which uses lat/long directly.

A Steam Machine is just Linux and Steam, with some UI differences. Games aren't being developed to run on Steam Machines. They're being made Linux compatible, and incidentally that makes them run on Steam Machines.

It's not a false dichotomy because it is something that exists today. The workers can either work for next to nothing in terrible conditions, or they can starve. Better situations exist and are possible, but they do not prove the nonex

HN mods generally don't care about cursing, as long as you're contributing to the conversation.

This is a moral dichotomy that's been around for ages and I have yet to see a satisfactory answer on: are sweatshops evil because the workers are grossly underpaid and work in terrible conditions, or are they good because they're

The implication is that HN is to blame, since there were some "negative comments" on here. (Un)fortunately the majority of those comments seem to have been deleted[1] so there is no opportunity for us to review the facts and form

I've been using vim as my primary editor for a few years now and I love how there's always something new that just blows my mind, like the :earlier and :later in that pinned tweet.

As he was formerly a lawyer (in the UK) I find TotalBiscuit's commentary to be particularly informative about such things.

You should be more bothered because it is something you consider to be a very good game. A publisher of a franchise you like has knowingly participated in anti-consumer practices, and for relatively little gain. It should reflect on them a

Doig was a nobody at age 16, else the painting wouldn't have sold for $100. The buyer bought a nice-looking painting from some kid in a correctional facility, not a world-famous painter. There was no promise or expectation that it woul

Assuming the plaintiff is somehow correct and it is a Peter Doig painting, this doesn't sound remotely fair to me: Some 16 year old kid paints something, figures it's worth $100 and sells it for that amount. 40 years later it&#x27

Google originally won everyone over with superior results, the rest of it came pretty organically. The underdog is always everyone's favorite until they somehow wind up on top.
