Arguably they have to give some context for people that are not as deeply informed about that project as many HNers are. I don't think it's that bad to state the vision, progress and outcome before announcing they will not manufac

True, for me in Berlin its about 25min to go to the Train Station and 30-40Min to either Airport, so not a big difference. But, considering i would arrive at the airport 90Min before take-off and it takes another another hour (including wal

Isn't arriving one hour before the flight already pretty tight since boarding closes 30-40 Minutes before. If there is some kind of queue at security you will have trouble getting in. For me it's usually 1 hour before boarding clo

How would a Bus do Berlin - Munich in under 4 hours like this highspeed train ? Even by car it is over 5 hours. Bus is an okay low cost alternative, but just very slow.

PC gaming is growing and thats where mostly the trend for self-built PCs comes from and most of the growth in PC market. It is still dwarfed by Laptop sales though. As an anecdote, today i know hardly anyone who owns a desktop PC while 10-1

I too thought about this as Carmack mentioned that he believes it was one of his most important achievements that Apple adopted OpenGL back in the day.

To be fair, most games today are built using Unity3D, Unreal Engine etc, which all support Metal already. Hardly anyone writes their own game engines these days, and if they do they probably have the resources to support Metal. Overall stil

Sources for highly profitable ? According to the linked article they were not and lost >60M in 2016. They could probably still optimise to make a profit, but seems like they were struggling a bit with making money.

Thats a pretty ignorant statement. I'd wager that there aren't many people who could/would put the same effort into self studying that would be required to pass a CS degree with decent grades. They also would probably not lea

I recently read "A mind for numbers" which leans on this concept of working hard on a problem (focus mode) and then stepping away from it for some time (diffuse mode) very heavily. I also realized that this works really well for m

If you want Linux, Dell XPS and Thinkpads have the best out of the box support, you shouldn't have issues with them, but you should probably get the last gen to be on the safe side. MBP with good performance around 2000$ leaves only th

Latency is not the issue, as Thunderbolt 3 is a direct PCIe connection. Only bottleneck might be bandwidth, usually you get 10-20% performance loss with an eGPU but with a 1080Ti that's still plenty of performance.

Most higher end cars already have assistant systems that prevent you from running over people or into unexpected obstacles. The problem here seems to be that Uber disabled some of those systems that the Volvo base car normally has.

The problem is that the general public will not accept deaths caused by machines even if they are statistically safer. As an example, the German government gave in to public pressure after Fukushima and decided to shut down all nuclear powe

My 6 Plus became super slow with iOS 11 and because of the battery scandal i ran the benchmarks but my 3 year old phone essentially benchmarked exactly like a brand new one would.

Had the same problem with my iPhone 6 Plus, the performance was barely tolerable on iOS 11. I think it might be because Apple skimps on RAM so that a few generations down the road it's just not enough anymore. Upgraded from the 6 Plus
