I’m happy Toyota will continue to invest in hybrids. I want a car with sufficient range. Maybe other folks don’t take a lot of road trips, but that’s something I do in the Midwest and it brings me a lot of joy. Honda Accord hybrid can get n

I don't think moderation automatically means censorship. In my opinion, HN mainly tries to enforce a productive decorum, which makes this board better than others. Most people who are concerned about government censorship are not free

> The economy has also grown drastically since then. No it hasn't. Real GDP: Q4 2019 19.20 Trillion Q2 2022 19.69 Trillion > It doesn't appear that the Fed needs to wind down much, if any, of that liquidity at all, since it

Totally speculating here. I wonder if this is preparing for a future where Apple encounters supply issues or pricing pressure caused by environmental and political turmoil. I could see the average lifespan of devices continuing to increase

Your points do not dispute doomberg's argument. The reality is that EU wood pellet consumption has been increasing. Germany and France are leading the growth. It is generally accepted that wood burning produces more co2 than coal and n

I believe AMD Ryzen 6000 mobile cpus can hold their own against the apple m1. They have comparable performance and can be set by the manufacturer at a TDP comparable to the m1(and still perform well). Except for mainly m1 optimized apps, GP

If you consider the mainstream products of Intel and Nvidia, they have way more moderate power consumption. These products with massive power draw are ultra enthusiast products. They are an outlier. You could build a great PC now with a RTX

Personally I think using gerrymandering to explain the bulk of our political dysfunction is mistaken. If you were to ask me to give you a simple explanation for the dysfunction and corruption at the federal level, it would be that our feder

I am aware of that. But even that feature is weak. To judge how democratic an institution is you must look at all features or characteristics of an institution. The appointment of its board of governors isn't the only democratic featur

The federal reserve is an independent unelected agency that’s not accountable to the US public. I don’t see how people can call our federal system a democracy anymore just become we run elections. You need to judge a system by many other at

Elon isn't a free speech absolutist. Listen to his various appearances where he's been asked about this. He said twitter should allow legal free speech, but still impose moderation on harassment and demote harmful content. He want

That being a major factor in the demise of streetcars is highly disputed. There was an interesting conversation about this on hn last month. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32166175

The high rate of rentals owned by individual investors is bad too if our goal is to maximize the number of home owners. I know a lot of people in my cohort who bought and moved into a new home, but kept their previous home as a rental. IMO

I agree with this take mostly. There are many times I expect Lex to guide his guest to a particular conversation and he fails to do it. Rogan is better at this, to my surprise. Though Rogan has his bad days too, but generally he's bett

That is not necessarily true. Presidential administrations can affect the economy through fiscal spending. The Biden administration started their administration with $1.9 trillion in stimulus, on the heels of about $3 trillion in stimulus s

I think you are missing something. It's not about blame, that doesn't matter. People are lashing out. It's about anger at the system. It's becoming increasingly obvious that recently a large part of our personal prosperi

It's difficult to feel bad for the legacy taxi industry. It's one of the most corrupt industries and totally resistant to market entrants. This business is ruthless and workers were exploited in the previous system. A corrupt syst

These days, the United States has proven they mainly follow the rules when it benefits them. So much for rules based international order. It's all unraveling as we return to a multi-polar world. History will probably look back and see

I have issues with how they did their analysis. They count anyone who paid for medical services on a credit card and then is carrying that on their credit card balance month to month. Folks… that’s how many Americans pay for all goods and s

Institutional investor purchases of residential real estate may be largely all cash offers, but the money that funds those purchases come from a mix of debt, rental earnings and invested capital. I think it’s worth pointing that out because

That seems expensive to charge your car on the road. I thought it was cheaper than that. Is there a detail I'm missing here? That round trip in a Honda Accord would be $300 total in fuel, or $350 in a Honda CR-V.

It's relevant because people should consider the source when they perform an initial appraisal of a piece of information. The Verge is a vox media owned publication with low standards and lack of expertise on most topics they cover.

No, it's not fair. "Record levels" means the high point, not 11% less than the high point. Why do you insist on redefining language to fit your argument?

Repealing or reforming the Jones Act would really help river cities all along the mississippi river system. It would also reduce co2 and traffic congestion. It's amazing to me that no one will take a critical look at this outdated law.

This is horrifying to me but probably for a different reason. I'm tired of the general population being treated as pawns in this global game of empire. These people should not be risking their life. Our leaders screwed up and now citiz

Edit: my comment was likely to be misinterpreted so I removed it. I don't agree with your metaphor. I think history and power politics should be respected to maintain world peace.

This isn't a Ukrainian or Russian perspective, but an alternative perspective. John Mearsheimer gives a popular alternative perspective. He has a realist foreign policy perspective suggesting that the US and the west provoked Russia by

I like these threads because I enjoy reading other people's experiences. The article in question is a fairly weak take down of pair programming, for many of the reasons others have stated. It just sounds like the writer doesn't re
