The tech is not there. If it were they'd be making more noise about it. Most of the big players (besides Apple) have demonstrated self driving cars in familiar environments; downtown SF or whatever. The problem is most of the country i

That's a stretch. There's no evidence to suggest that it will be beneficial for anyone. No matter how many studies you run you can always find a group that isn't covered by the study and say "Well it STILL might be helpf

This is not a good idea. That code is gross and illegible. There's definitely better ways to handle anything where you think this is the solution.

I don't want to nitpick but; parking on the shoulder is not safe. Don't do it unless it's a real emergency.

If this is indeed true I'd imagine that most of the cause is diet based. Sugar is good for hummingbirds, not people.

This still happens in my town. It probably still happens in any community where it would have happened 50 years ago and doesn't in ones it wouldn't have happened in. Your view on what our society is like right now is colored by wh

In my personal life I set appointments in my phone's calendar for anything more than a week out. For anything within a week I just remember what I'm doing. For work my team uses JIRA in a SCRUM fashion. So the sprint is loaded wit

In order for him to prove this is a viable business model he has to prove that he can produce something people will actually buy at a price he makes a profit. Not just that you can throw a ton of batteries and electric motors in an old car.

This is like saying that there's no correlation between displacement and vehicle price. Of course there isn't because that is, while an important criteria on an individual car, and it has SOME correlation to the cost to produce a

Your attitude is absurd, man. Making money is not inherently bad, we all have to make money to earn a living. Duh. But jumping on a disaster to make money is always bad. There's a reason being a war profiteer was a prosecutable offen

Of course they do because they are pig headed ignoramuses who are insist on getting their way in spite of all evidence that they're wrong. So of course they are good at getting raises. ;)

Are you kidding me? This is not a "wonderful feature" this is a blatant attempt to capitalize on disasters and turn it into user engagement which becomes ad revenue for Facebook. Give me a break.

> Take away Marissa Mayer from this story, and replace her with a generic CEO, and I'm not sure we'd see the same mood in either comment section. That may be true, but it doesn't make the comments about her being overpaid

It never should be. If it is you're probably churning out some really crap code, and you should stop and think about what you're doing.

I'm convinced one of the issues with Tim Cook era Apple is failure to focus. Trying to do too many things at once is what leads companies to be mediocre at all of them.

If it makes you feel any better, the Bolt was designed here in Michigan and won't be on sale here until later this year because they're targeting California and other markets first.

Sorry, poor wording on my part, I meant in the neighborhood of the Leaf. But still, it seems a bit more expensive.

Here in Michigan our Republican government has instituted a regressive increase on EV license plate registration/renewal fees. The excuse is that EV owners don't pay the tax on fuel that petrol car owners do, but we still put wear

There are a number of EVs available in the $20-40k price range. A majority of them in fact. In the US we have the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt. In Europe the two have a number of other options available as well. The Renault Zoe is like a

Just replacing your hoodie with a tahirt would do a lot. The next steps are replace sneakers with more adult shoes (Eccos for example, or another brown shoe) and replace the t-shirts with button shirts and undershirts. Honestly though I&#x2

She made totally false claims about her technology to investors; claiming they were performing tests with their own tech when they were using outside tech. That seems like fraud to me? The reality is she's too well connected and wealth

No, it isn't, my dude. That comparison is not only ridiculous but offensive. With slavery, the slaves don't get a voice. They can't choose to not be slaves. With taxation in a democracy you can choose to run for office and

HN has a lot of extreme libertarians who are going to automatically applaud any subversion of the tax system. That's why the comments on this article are a trash fire.

Taxation is not theft in a democracy. If you don't like the taxes, campaign to have them changed. Or move to another country. We as a society agree to the taxes we have through our elected officials who represent us.

The original article is full of overly specific details that are typical of fabricated stories; he's not just talking to a hiring manager, he's talking to the CEO . The CEO wasn't just happy with his answer, he had to pick h

On top of all of that, it's titled "The Best .. I've Ever Seen" and it's his own anecdote. That's up there with Trump's "I have the best brain." crap. Terrible.
