This is a good question. The fact that people are not buying the May future at -$37/bbl and selling the June contract at $20/bbl tells you that Cushing storage must effectively be full and that the theoretical storage figures quot

As someone who bikes to work most days and thinks cycling infrastructure like this is great, what do the people profiled in this article do when it rains?

I think this is a really neat idea. Imagine cars arranging themselves and coupling into a train and then seamlessly decoupling as they need to exit. That would save energy (air resistance) and be a more efficient way to move more cars down

When you’ve got supermajority shares, you can basically put a gun to your own head. Great summary of the situation from the article: “Neumann created a company that destroyed value at a blistering pace and nonetheless extracted a billion do

Oddly, the HN title is the <title> tag, but not the headline actually shown on the website.

I think the difference is that when you open Spotify, you expect a complete or almost complete catalogue. People have existing artists that they really want to hear. That puts Spotify in a tough negotiating position as they have to licens

Nice to see this getting addressed. There's a great Planet Money episode explaining the brokenness of the existing system ( https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/08/01/634737852/epis... ).

Agree regarding preferring Zwift and a turbo but the sort of setup you describe seems to appeal to cyclists whereas the Peloton seems to appeal to the spin class crowd, many of who would never consider riding outside. The market is weirdly

Swipe navigation in mobile Safari is a problem. Lichess.org recently did a very nice redesign that made it more mobile friendly. But the user can’t drag and drop pieces from the leftmost file because it’s interpreted as navigation. Safari d

First, from an engineering perspective, this product is really cool and maybe for some well-funded Tour de France team it could make sense to test this out. But the price point, the lack of compatibility with components of existing drivetra

On the plus side, can't an independent truck driver or an Uber/Lyft driver claim tax deductions for all business-related expenses? From talking to a couple Uber drivers, my sense it that many are aggressive with the definition of

And no unit tests or CI either? This is how rockets and hearts end up in pieces! Good thing we can indicate our love with persnickety comments and have no need for such a program.

While it's likely a non-starter legislatively, I believe the answer would be to pass a carbon cap & trade or tax system that simply prices greenhouse gases. That way we get what we want (less greenhouse gases) without proscribing a

I realize they are growing fast but isn't it a little early to declare success (as the title seems to) when you're generating $10.5 million with a cost structure that includes 350 employees?

I think your point is generally spot on, but I wanted to nitpick at this one: > airlines needed it No, they didn't. Regulation of fares, routes and market entry of new airlines kept prices artificially high until airlines were dere
