I'm much less optimistic about the future of EVs as I was a couple years ago (when we bought our Kia EV6). It seems like I see more news recently, like this, of companies reversing their position and pivoting back towards ICE vehicles,

I hope the “/s” was implied. I thought about making a similar post, in the true spirit of a “Show HN”, but would have included the “/s”.

I never got the impression that the market ever cares about data breaches. It seems most companies are rarely held financially responsible for data breaches anyway. I would bet any effects you’re seeing in stocks is unrelated to this news.

I was actually thinking she has a similar look to Anya Taylor-Joy, and would have a similar look if she were a younger actor today. There are definitely actors today to also have an unconventional look, but you’re comparing 1970s unconventi

If there is a more likely single “tipping point”, solving for that one may be easier and therefore more likely to have an impact.

Re: Gatorade’s 63% monopoly, I’ve recently thought about how quickly Prime went to mass market. It seems like it blew up on YouTube and stores couldn’t keep it in stock. Then all of the sudden, it’s sitting next to Gatorade in huge volumes

I want to see a time graph of the total number of checked boxes. I would think that over time more boxes are being unchecked, but I also see a lot of people re-checking the unchecked boxes. Also, I would think the script kiddies would be au

This is based on the game, Opus Magnum [1], where you basically program arms to move and combine units to generate the expected units. You’re graded on a few thing: efficiency in number of movements, efficiency in number of units, and effic

The game this article is based on is “Baba Is You” [1]. It’s a logic puzzle game where you try to get “you” to “flag” — or more precisely, “win” (which, by default most of the time, “flag is win”) — but you manipulate a number of objects an

To be clear, there are a number of things I’m bad at that I feel motivated to improve. Handwriting just isn’t one of them.

by jader201 2y ago
I’m screwed then, because I hate handwriting. For me, it’s slower, less legible, less archivable, less shareable, and harder on my hand muscles. I only write in caps (to make it more legible), and if I have to write in cursive (which is alm

Another factor is how long ago we’re talking, too. 2024 is quite a bit different vs., for example, 10 years ago.

To the OP's point, without some collective support, I don't anticipate this happening. In fact, you'll likely have to deal with this as early as elementary school.

I feel like “roll” is a bad word for what’s happening here. In my brain, when I hear “roll”, I’m thinking a 360 degree rotation in either the vertical or horizontal axis (or both). This is far from that (even in the real life footage linked

I think we’re in agreement. I have my tires rotated and they check critical systems. My point is that owning an EV has eliminated costly maintenance — and often repairs — associated with an internal combustion system and drive train. Not on

I don’t consider inspections maintenance. I’m mostly referring to the vehicle needing recurring things done to it. Safety inspections are simply making sure things are functioning as expected. Ideally, no additional maintenance is needed.

Not me. To me hybrids are the worst of both worlds when it comes to maintenance. I bought my EV to get rid of oil changes, transmission fluid flushes, alternator issues, spark plugs, oil filters, break pad/rotor changes, and most impor

Yes. And take Instagram, TikTok, SnapChat, and X (Twitter) with it, please. Sorry for the rant. I’m just a bit salty from seeing the irreversible negative impact all of these have had on society.

> My solution was to remind myself I wasn’t being rude, and that I was a paying customer. Maybe I have a different definition of “rude”, but I feel that openly ignoring someone’s request is at the very least disrespectful, if not rude.
