That is pretty much the definition of anyone who orders a Cybertruck. The Cybertruck is more likely to become the Hummer of the EV truck world, a useless fashion accessory for people who think a big truck compensates for other shortcomings

Cloudflare is all over HN and their CTO, jgrahamc, will frequently appear to answer questions. California is just waking up so I expect a few ho it a before we get some solid answers to this issue.

They did not fire you just because they disagreed, they did so because others would harass and complain until you were fired. Sorry if the attempt at making some sort of 'both sides' point went off the rails, but cancel culture wa

One could easily pull up stories of people in the 70s, 80s, or even 90s who were fired or ostracized for supporting homosexuality and gay rights. Left-wing causes like supporting unions or even more radical leftist politics was a firing off

FAANG in London also pays £220k+ and closer to £400k+ total yearly comp for management roles. Once you have one FAANG on the CV you are going to have no problem getting £250k+ total comp packages from mid-tier fintechs and similar outfits i

You seem to be failing at reading comprehension here. As has been repeated a couple of times, but once again in all caps for emphasis: SOME PEOPLE WANT TO USE NAT TO OBSCURE DEVICES ON THEIR NETWORK. Period. End of story. That IPv6 makes

It isn't the 'existing industry' that is collapsing, it is low-rate entrants to the UK energy market who are just middlemen between the actual producers and consumers. The major players are going to do just fine and the poor

It is due to the fact that a lot of these second-tier energy firms were selling fixed tariff contracts to their customers. This was fine when energy prices were low, but it left them exposed if the prices spiked. These new/small ener

If the Air Force was truly interested in eliminating the A-10 instead of just pushing its job to an airframe that is less capable it would offer them up to the Army or bootnecks. I am fairly certain that either of them would be willing to

You are treating Amazon as an individual but VPN providers as a class. Cloud services have leaked data due to poor design and configuration, leaked secrets through low level hacks on shared hosting infrastructure, and routinely comply with

And so you are suggesting someone trust Amazon instead? Ok.... Mullvad has, so far, managed to keep a rather clean reputation and have been leading the pack on the technical side for quite a while. They were the first major provider to sup

It is not easy, but the energy density of that beam will vastly exceed sunlight at any significant distance. If you are no longer concerned with getting the beamed energy through a wet atmosphere you can also use better frequencies (e.g. v

The interesting thing about space-based solar power is that you do not need to direct the beam at the earth. You can also use it to beam energy to remote probes and robotic installations. If you want to mine asteroids you are better off b

The receiving rectenna would be large, but from what I know it would basically consist of a spaced array of small vertical antennas. The sat does not need to be in geostationary orbit and in fact a better solution is to have a constellation
