It's disappointing to read that the charging and power electronics are troublesome, but I guess that's to be expected as a new kind of power train rolls out. Hopefully warranties cover most of that, but it does bring home the poin

Paywall, fortunately. More BS disinformation.

Hype much? This sounds like a useful tool, but it's hardly a "breakthrough the world needs."

I wrote a much simpler Python app to do the same thing. I downloaded a word list that I found (over 400K words) and simply ran through the list, selecting the words that used the appropriate letters, and highlighting the pangram(s). I used

Black Friday used to mean that retailers finally broke even ("in the black") after losing money all year, and that the rest of the holiday season was profit. To say that Black Friday used to "mean something" is to assume

I thoroughly agree. Must we see a new HN post every time he tweets?

Yeah right, the "deep state." Cry me a river. If telecoms had even a smidgeon of interest in actually serving their customers instead of milking them (and milking the taxpayers too), this issue would never have come up. This is ne

No, a laptop, no matter how expensive, won't cover your privates or keep you warm.

Me neither. It's a shitty business model, depending on deceiving and preying on consumers. Only problem is, media infrastructure costs $$$. How else you gonna finance it? I'm seriously open to suggestions -- I'm fresh out of

I dunno, it sounds to me like more right-wingers complaining that their disinformation is being disrupted.

Arnold was never mayor of SF. He was governor of California.

A concept that leads to many amusing paradoxes. For instance, there is no validity to this theory, since Sapolsky could not have come up with an alternate theory by his own free will. What this theory does accomplish is to beg the question:

Too bad he's giving psychedelics a bad name. That'll make it harder to legalize them.

Have not read it, and won't. So apparently I do have a choice.

Surely this is the kind of research that should be nominated for an IgNobel Award.

So, an audio recording device activated by unspecified means? And this is patentable how?

Yeah, but my neighbor across the street will never get one. He likes making noise.

Seems related to the question of what is consciousness, another issue that I think is more in the religious or philosophical realm rather than the scientific.

Not a problem for those companies, they'll simply close down and open up again under a new name. They've probably already got the paperwork ready.

I don't equate accepting UBI to being a freeloader. If you read the results of various UBI trials, the participants generally used the funds wisely to meet their most immediate and pressing needs, and were then able to take steps to im

The US is well known for having the worst social safety net of any advanced country. Where are your statistics showing that the US is a leader in supporting the poor? If we took better care of those less fortunate, it seems obvious to me th

It's politics all right, but not because fossil fuel subsidies are "popular." It's because the wealthy and powerful who run things make a whole lot of profit off of fossil fuels and subsidies.

When you talk about "moral" you're implying a personal system of beliefs. Putting your ideas of right and wrong aside for a moment, do you think your life would be improved if there was less crime, fewer homeless, safer neigh

I just glanced at the S&P 500, and it doesn't look like it's down by much. Are stocks really tanking, or is this just another attempt by conservatives to spread FUD about the economy?

The difference is corporate culture. Blue Origin (not "Ocean") behaves like Old Space, companies like Boeing, who spend a huge amount of time designing and debating before they even bend a piece of metal. SpaceX on the other hand

I read the article, but still don't know what LSD stands for. Driving a Miata is definitely a trip (I only did so once), but surely they're not including psychedelic drugs with that model?

Just bought a Lenovo Windows 11 laptop to replace my aging Win10 one. (My main computer is still my Win10 desktop -- I mostly use the laptop for surfing and email.) I couldn't find any new Lenovo Win10 laptops for sale. An article on T
