They do wear faster on EVs but sub 10k miles is definitely not typical. This article is definitely written to grab attention with that 7k figure in the headline and then immediately starts walking that back.

Yep, the couple quoted at the start of the article "started noticing wear on the tires" at 5k. And then the 7k quote is also from them - note that it doesn't say they actually had to replace at 7k.

I supposed I've just been in Rails land for a while so I can't make an apples to apples comparison to how other frameworks approach things but I don't think insert_all is encouraging anything wrong - by the time a Rails team

Rails isn't super opinionated about database writes, its mostly left up to developers to discover that for relational DBs you do not want to be doing a bunch of small writes all at once. That said it specifically has tools to address t

I laugh every time I see ads for some giant, fuel inefficient, unsafe, ridiculous SUV advertising third row seating. Minivans are the answer to every question that ends in families buying a giant SUV right now but they’re not “cool”.

I'm excited about using it in the office as a replacement/enhancement to external monitors. Maybe it will suck for that - I don't know. But I never really cared about any of the use cases for VR or AR.

Haven't gotten a chance to try yet but thank you for having an icon that actually looks unique. My dock is filled with purplish blue circles and squares and I have no idea which app any of them are for anymore.

Yes, I can't wait for another "app drawer" alongside podcasts that I'm forced to ignore. This is causing me start buying music more and more from bandcamp so I can have control over all of this again.

Back when I started using Plex the open source alternative was only XBMC. Plex just had the killer feature of being able to transcode correctly. But yes I agree, being a for profit closed source app has just been a pile of junk beyond the

There's been a steady stream of garbage "features" from Plex for a while and this is just the latest. Maybe the lifetime Plex Pass was a mistake but I bought it years ago and haven't wanted or used a single feature they

I’m not sure what the experience is with other niche genres of music but I’ve found more black and death metal on Bandcamp in the past month than has ever been recommended to me elsewhere. I get the impression that HN posters who don’t use

Nice to hear from an actual teacher about education. Billionaires have the same issue as a lot of other people - they went to school once, had some beef with it, are now successful, and so they think they've got some insight. Its fun

They seem to be glossing over the fact that Loom doesn't just record the screen - it immediately gives you a link to that recording.

Can someone explain the Home Assistant anecdote regarding JS and curl | sudo sh? Does the author mean Home Assistant isn't secure? Or that there's some issue with the front end of it? Or something else? Because imo... that is th

On the homepage clicking through to each set and there’s no indication anything is happening. Back button is pretty unresponsive as well.

Some sort of loading indicator(s) would be good. Clicking around and I guess its loading but I think its getting hugged pretty hard by HN right now.

This kind of makes me want to just remake OKCupid. I met my wife on there. It worked, really well, as the author describes. Surely there's money to be made there without just being another Tinder clone.

The author never actually articulated what his beef was with Netlify. So yeah I think you're just as confused as the rest of us. Apparently Netlify was supposed to become Heroku, but Heroku is bad, but Render (which is... Heroku wit
