Are you talking about how the CVT transmission sounds?

It's pretty much the only thing to see South of Austin. Except for Big Bend but that's further West.

I discovered that my OnePlus has a IR blaster. Now I use my phone as remote - and it works on a variety of models (have Samsung and Vizio in house).

The reason I said it is a dumb idea is because OP has no idea about the current weather conditions. If the conditions are right, such as tonight when the Santa Ana winds have died down, you don't need fancy drones because firefighters

I guess so. I hope your sister is doing alright. Nobody wanted to insure properties in Orange or Anaheim Hills for me either, only option was to get calfair policy. We ended up buying in Aliso Viejo.

South Texas? We lived in San Antonio for last 5 years, and the weather does not really get extreme. Well you get consecutive weeks of 105-110 highs in summer. But it is far enough from the gulf coast so no hurricanes, and apart from the 202

LA is surrounded by high fire risk areas. The wildfire risk is also really unpredictable. The rule of thumb is the closer you are to the beach, the lower the risk. We were looking to buy a house in Orange or Anaheim Hills because those area

They've actually stopped permitting new builds or rebuild of burned houses in Santa Ana mountains since last year's airport fire.

There's no air support to contain fire because of dangerously high wind. Asking for drones now is like a dumb person's idea of cheap science fiction.

What exactly are we being too quick to judge?

The fact that you look at this banner- https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/04/giant-anti-israe... .. And instantly know what it's about, pretty much rests the case.

Wasn't surprised when I noticed Brendan Keefe is the journalist/investigator on this story. He's got solid track record and credentials.

The only people I know who were genuinely impressed by cybertruck are 1. My father in law who was visiting USA and does not know how to drive, and 2. My 3yo son.

Some of their HFC vehicles are net zero emission. Same cannot be said about EVs. But like you mentioned, the main reason why they try to do right by customers more than the others.

TIL yet another way MLK changed America.

TIL voting right depends on literacy in America. Illiterate people have more rights in third world countries apparently.

That's my impression as well. Fancy CRUD jobs paying $200k simply does not exist anymore. It's more like 100k is the new 200k, judging by past 3-4 years.

So you're saying I should engage in alcoholism and gambling if I want to maximize fun?

by esalman 2y ago
Exactly. Sports gambling takes the fun out of sports for those who are not interested in gambling.

TOR comes with it's own baggage.

by esalman 2y ago
That's too obvious of an explanation and probably the likeliest one. It is common knowledge that almost every big corp is trying to downsize now, and RTO announcement does force a lot of employees to reevaluate their situation.

> If we try to do what we are best at here at HN People like Einstein and Oppenheimer would disagree. We are humans first and not tech workers, the best we can do is to try prevent humans tragedies unfolding everyday.

Better places might be more expensive.

They should tax companies so that operating data centers become more expensive. Increase price of electricity or property tax. That will inherently force companies to collect and store less data, hence less damage from breaches.

Not necessarily. Hurricane debby currently affecting Florida is a cat 1 storm with only 80 miles max wind. But it's still bringing devastating flooding and storm surge damage.
