We need more laws that don't change fundamentally in 151 years, because they are fundamental.

Where do you see convenient charging stations? Tesla shows 4 superchargers in all of Manhattan and 3 in Brooklyn, not including 3rd party stations that can take 2 hours to charge the car. What is the population of Manhattan and Brooklyn?

Lets keep overpopulating ad infinitum (because we are told that's the only way the economy grows) and see where we are in 100 years.

It's funny the Elon haters downvote the person saying that the Tesla development is solid yet the parent gets no downvotes and has nothing to prove their statement other than referencing something about Twitter. They are separate compa

It may triple due to a lot of things, which can include climate. The economist has article on urban development which makes me think at least part of the problem is population growth, in particular the 3rd picture showing the population gro

Typical dismissing of facts based on the messenger. "Oh they are bad so the point you are making is wrong...." You literally did nothing but superficial search. Obviously google and other search engines want to hide those. That&#

The fact that climate science was evolving 40 years ago is used to discount all the articles from the 70s that said we were entering a new ice age, so it seems unfair to target Exxon by saying they perfectly understood the science when the

The article was long so the 65% was the TLDR summary. For people like me with no attention span it was very helpful.

It is an interesting new phenomena. I think it dilutes the original purpose of this forum and as a side topic it would be interesting to figure why it's happening more, but maybe its fair to just let things evolve to what people what t

He probably wants hacker news to look like it did 10 years ago when the topics were mostly technical. Maybe time to rename “hackers”…

Is there any api where I can contribute my pm 2.5 data ? All of these sites have r/o apis. Even if the data is not 100% accurate and calibrated they could still crowdsource it like they do for temp and humidity.

Generally it wasn't technically possible to work fully remote until the last ten years so not sure how you can say that everyone that was working onsite or in an office from 1945-2010 had a bad time, since there wasn't any substan

They make tons of coffee table books. Most of their books are larger than pocket size. Most are at least 8x11 and lots are size xl or the “Summo” size which is quite large.

Like the battery runs out when you need it. It uses both fingerprint and facial recognition to arm. Also did you watch the video. Look at the size of it. Its enormous. Also a minor nit: The gun apparently uses an enrollment APP ! Like I wan

How would you know what Twitter booked with Musk, now that it is a private company and they don't have to report it, other than rumors and heresay?

Well for one thing the taxiway letters and runway markings are missing. If it’s a “map” I would expect to use it for directions.

The only reason history will be kind is that nobody will be left that actually lived through his presidency. He was a terrible president and the 1980 election results are proof. There are so many things he failed at, as a manager. I would

Disagree. I've had the beta for a year and drive in NYC. It has been mostly flawless considering all scenarios it has to handle. It does make the occasional mistake but (1) it's a beta and (2) I'm responsible for monitoring a

This makes wonder about solar roofs and efficiency over time. For example I don't see anything immediately obvious about how a Tesla Solar Roof might degrade over time due to dust and debris, but it stands to reason that it should. It
