You wouldn't. You would purchase a 0 year old M3.

I hear the complaints about incremental updates and not enough reason to upgrade. My opinion is that it doesn't need any updates as it's nearly perfect the way it is. What it needs is a 3 year release cycle instead of yearly. Less

That's why I also said "the way things work here" because it's a cultural thing; you just don't mess with worker's right in Europe. It might not be against the law, but it's not a normal practise. From wha

I have to say I don't understand Elon's (Tesla's) reaction here. Surely he was advised on Swedish and EU laws and how things work over here before he decided to do business in Sweden?

I don't have an answer. I feel stupid for it. I thought I had all the answers but I didn't think this through. I thought getting rid of cell tower triangulation you can achieve privacy but you'd still need to connect to a sat

I wasn't talking about corruption in China. I was implying that we outsource the "disgusting" part of producing lithium batteries to get a ready-made product that we can use. In the same way you see a steak in a supermarket r

> I don't get easily offended, but I've honestly never seen anything more disgusting in my entire life. That's a pretty bold statement to make. I don't know what kind of isolated world you live in if you think that a

I plan to do the exact same thing next year. I don't have all the answers for you, but I would start by asking my LinkedIn network about any contracting jobs <6months and build a CV website. I assume you come from the Tech industry,

If you're willing to spending a bit more on a book to support your local bookstore, please use something like https://uk.bookshop.org instead of shopping on Amazon. I originally heard about Bookshop right here on HN years a

My instinct was to agree with the comment above, but after giving it a few minutes I think I'd rather have a moderated "soulless" HN. It seems to me that there is a fine line between innocent jokes and full-blown juvenile beh

Everybody knows HS2 will never happen and looking at trains in general maybe it's better that it doesn't. I pay £45 for a return from Biggleswade to London. It's a 45min journey one way, trains rarely come on time and are oft

I'm likely too dumb to understand what this is. I download the report and it's two Excel spreadsheet files. One of them contains a list of onion links and the other one was too big to open (5.4G) so I viewed it in terminal and it

(non-native here) I've been saying this for as long as I remember. Non-Anglophones often get frustrated in attempt to (de)construct a word in English like they would in other European languages only to find that it doesn't work an

Shame to see what happened to Z-Library. I used it a lot, I even donated a few times. The way I used it was to weed out the rubbish. Amazon used to offer x amount of pages to read for free, so now I have to pirate a digital copy to see if i
