Did you even bother to look up average temperatures by month in the populous parts of Norway before posting this? It doesn't get that cold: https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/norway/oslo

I'd love to see more posts like this on HN. You generally learn far more from what didn't work for others than you do from the many survivorship biased stories that usually get posted. Curious what questions you think you could

I think this is a misperception that doesn't really reflect the reality. One of my long-term clients is a large Japanese company and I work with a lot of Japanese people regularly + have been to Japan several times. In my experience

The majority of Americans do not live in areas that get below 20F average for extended periods of time. Your particular use case is atypical, especially for EV buyers, so it isn't shown.

If it’s like HN or Reddit then speed of burying is more important than volume. A few downvotes early on can easily bury dissenting comments / posts or change the narrative significantly.

Testing thermal performance is as simple as going to a restaurant down the street and asking if you can pay them $100 to borrow their walk-in fridge for an hour for cold, and leaving your device in a hot car for an hour for hot. It's

I really wish hardware startups would at least hire people early on who have experience with actual manufacturing. Stuff like this really shouldn't happen and really shouldn't be a surprise, either. Temperature considerations ar

Yeah, no, you don't need a DSLR. A point and shoot with a good sensor is more than enough. My Sony RX100 runs all day without issue and acts as a fantastic webcam via a cheap HDMI to USB adapter. Total cost used < $500.

This disappointingly reminds me of that post a while ago from the guy who finally got into YC after 8 tries or something, not because he found a great problem to solve with a great solution but because he really wanted to get into YC and

As it should given the realistic expected future sales potential, joke that is FSD, and increasingly competitive nature of the BEV market. When it falls another 50% it will be fairly priced (roughly on-par with Toyota's market cap).

“Some cruft” is quite an understatement. Years ago a large client was moving HQ locations and expected to lose about 20% of its staff in the process. My team was tasked with documenting business processes for different departments. Basicall

TurboTax works just fine for me. Integrates with my investment accounts and handles the typical combo of 1099, W-2, and supplemental income without issue. The dark patterns have been getting worse, though, so look up what should and should

Yes and no. Several of these could probably be done with a proper model and "vase mode" in a normal slicer. However, others are simply not possible in a normal slicer because slicers limit you to planar layers and moves. So for

This is one of the big reasons I don't wear a watch or bracelet, although I suspect it may be related to wrist shape since others don't seem to have this issue.
