I disagree with your take and I am mostly on the receiving end of those late Slack messages. If you do not wish to get notified unless it's an emergency there is a nifty feature that allows you to define your working hours, out of whic

That's fair, but it assumes that a lot of people who took mortgages that only "worked" because of the low rates won't go bankrupt once the rates increase. Strong economic activity and inflation simply does not translate

That sword could have two edges though, if the fed increases the interest rates to curb the inflation, you will end up with an asset that depreciate regardless of your fixed mortgage because a significant number of people will default on th

I feel like you are answering a point that I was not making, Tesla is overvalued in my opinion too. > People are not stupid, especially here...we all know what Musk is trying to do which is basically the same he has always done. Trying t

Saying Musk is a fraud is very much "trendy" these days, but I feel like it ties in a much wider social transformation where for some reason we can't separate the artist from the art. Reading his biography he does come off as

They are not, the guidelines are linked in the footer and don't mention anything about downvotes aside from "not talking about downvotes".

To save everyone a click: because 3/4 left the company before 2010 and the last one was an engineer that was made a "founder" after the fact in 2009. To give everyone an idea, they mostly left around the time the roadster was

And what's the argument? Legitimately asking, I use it to downvote comments that are low quality in my opinion and I don't think that has a negative impact on HN at all.

I thought it would be more spectacular but that number is basically clickbait, it didn't even break $1000 so it's just getting a correction after a strong upward trend.

According to their 2019/2020 statement they spend 5M$ in "donation processing" and an additional 5M$ in wages for the donation campaigns. 10M$ in expenses to get 120M$ really isn't so bad. [1] https://upload.w

Consumer reports had a page explaining that they rated most fridges in the low 6 because they all had high compressor failure rate. Turns out that every major manufacturer was using the same subsidiary for their compressor and consequently

Not a big fan of China on a lot of things, but why would this be an issue? Realistically if they declare war on anyone it will be the US or someone armed with US military tech so I makes sense to train their army accordingly.

This was already submitted this week. FWIW my take is that they are basically patent troll at this point. Hate Facebook all you want but they have several products and the real domain name, the author(s) of the article don't.

How effective can those arguments be? Quebec power is 95% hydro, you can argue about the remaining 5% but wait it's actually 80% (4%) wind! I think there are arguments about sovereignty, not being reliant on a foreign country for power

Those studies also often disregard the fact that alcohol consumption is not always (even often) for intoxication, people drink wine and cocktails for the enjoyment of the drink itself, not so much for the effect it has on their behaviour.

At scale not really, how many cars get rear-ended daily in the US? Insurance companies will forward the info to another government body which will launch an investigation if there is a significant deviation from the norm.

To clarify, I was responding to the OP with regard to the "investigation" part. Authorities won't launch an investigation on someone rear-ending someone else on the basis that "autopilot did it". As a wronged indivi

I'll go against the general opinion in this thread and say that this is not something that I'd expect to be blamed on Tesla. Especially considering this: > The driver said she was using Autopilot, that an OTA update had had a p

Similarly in research group the easy way to prevent criticism is to make your approach look as complex as possible, with as many math equations as you can cram and a healthy dose of lingo. That way people are too confused to ask relevant qu

So they're banning red jumper suit with a playstation controller mask? I can get why they'd say watching the show isn't age appropriate, but a costume is just a costume. Did they ban slasher masks as well? Those are 17+ too i

I live in the suburbs and the police absolutely take porch pirates seriously, especially after a few events on the same street. But then we only have 1-2 murders per year so of course they'll gravitate towards smaller crimes.

Yes, but my point is that he's not a saviour of the Freemen at all. It's clear in the books that they are better armed, better adapted and their numbers is severely underestimated by the Harkonnen. At no point in the first book ar
