My wife and I don't have kids (yet) but absolutely love our Pacifica minivan. It fits 4x8 sheets of plywood in the back perfectly (it was designed this way), all of the seats fold down into the floor, which is awesome, and it can tow

And what's worse is that the most accessible version of "VR", google cardboard (or equivalents) is actually a terrible representation of VR. So people will try that, dismiss VR as a gimmick, and not revisit it again. A pro

It's funny that you say this because kindof "the" people who make jet powered cars are in Florida, not San Francisco: https://www.elainelarsen.com/

I notice that this looks like the type of thing you'd put up on a big monitor to impress investors/PHBs with when they walk by.

Because Russia were legitimately a culprit during the cold war, and many people who grew up during that period are susceptible to clickbait where Russia is, again, the bad guy. They were primed for it during their entire childhood, and the

No not that I've seen. On facebook, most of the people know each other in real life, so it seems like those sorts of feuds don't really happen there as much. There is a groups of people I can think of who occupy dramatically diff

How? To use a scenario that HNers are likely more familiar with: this is like when a video game company does preorders for a video game. Or a concert promoter sells tickets before the event is built, etc. The purpose is to offset risk. Pf
