> off by slightly less than 2 meters For that to be meaningful, you need the height as well, which is 75 meters (mentioned in the article). So about 1.5 degrees off center. (Just sharing because I was curious.)

Yeah, for some reason, I still root for them (not necessarily in silly cases like these, just when it comes to being a successful video game company). I have way too many fond memories dating back to NES, plus they still continue to make gr

NMS is a technical marvel, and at first, the game is quite fun. But for me, it just falls flat after a while. The planets just feel functionally the same, just with a different "skin" (which is cool, just doesn't add to the f

Google today is not as good as Google from 10 years ago, but: a) a big reason for this is that the web is also not as good as it was 10 years ago, and b) it’s still better than the alternatives, much because of (a) (but not solely)

I don’t think the parent comment was arguing the motive for the ban. They’re just saying they’re not convinced TikTok causes the overall happiness the GP comment claims. I think it’s hard to argue that any social media has a net positive ef

To be fair, if we’re going by track alone, there’s nothing to say it’s not just a new track for the Switch 2 release (or even just released at the same time, but available on both).

Oh wow, that's a new one. Have you really heard that in conversation? I'm so sorry.

I think I could be alone, but one of my biggest office-speak pet peeves is using verbs as nouns. Like “ask” (I hear this one all the time), “(value) add”, and “solve” (used in this article - I cringed). I see this a lot on HN too, so again,

This sounds made up. I’m not saying it is, just that it’s so bizarre, it’s literally unbelievable. Like something The Onion would write.

Sure, events/posts like that are the main upside to social media. Unfortunately, that makes up a tiny fraction of most feeds.

I’m rooting for EV’s over ICE cars all the way (I own one), but I agree — I always found it a bit weird/misleading that the Mach-E carries the “Mustang” name, when they have so little in common. I feel like it’s just marketing to the “

by jader201 2y ago
Yeah, fair point, I’m completely just talking US market here. I’m assuming this would go for the same price ($18k) in the US, where that would be a very good price for an EV. I would love to see an EV in the US for sub-$20k.

I bought my first new car in 1999 only two years out of college for about $20k. In 1999. $18k today for an electric car is far from “not cheap at all”.

Please no. While what you describe may be better than YouTube/TV, there is no replacement for development through human interaction and contact. Let’s not give parents another excuse to have devices babysit/raise their children.
