Totally agree with you on interior feel. However, the acceleration is tunable in the settings whenever you want.

Every single study I have seen refutes your point, which was commonly brought up during the Obamacare discussion days and never had any merit to begin with. Here's the NIH itself estimating a 13% savings compared to today: https:/

It seems there's more to it than that [1]. Altman did a surprisingly good job of cultivating a "nice guy" image among the tech crowd, but I personally don't buy it. [1] https://www.businessinsider.com/wha

I'd love to see this also and was hoping to see it in this page. I think it would need to be industry-specific, though, and the stats are hard to come by. For example, I fly a lot for work and have noticed delays and cancellations are

No, you don’t. This study is very clearly comparing to human drivers on the same streets and time period. Thus, you definitely can say that the human drivers are worse. Tautological puff pieces are what Tesla does with many of its cherry-pi

In case you're not aware, it's because pseudoephedrine is used to make meth. As for why it's restricted in the US and not Canada, the DOJ believes that meth production in Canada is relatively low compared to the US [1]. [1]

Suica is available for free as a mobile payment method on modern phones and works perfectly. It’s only physical card sales that were suspended in some places.

Yes, TRI is a co-author of this paper (along with MIT). I am curious how much Tesla’s approach differs with their robot, though.

So many nuclear proponents, including a large number of people here on HN, make the mistake of looking at relative costs and capabilities of power generation sources from 10 or even 5 years ago and then forming positions based on that. As t

It's all parties acting in basically the same way. Examples from the US: 1) The mortgage interest tax deduction directly incentivizes people to buy rather than rent. 2) Property tax instead of land value tax removes incentives to build

Title is somewhat misleading since this would be another tender offer to select investors, not a public offering. Which is disappointing to me since I'd really like to buy some shares myself. Starlink is perhaps overvalued, but their p

My gut reaction was the same, but then I realized that in order to burn anything more substantial than a match on a regular basis I’d have to go to the outdoor grills or something. There’s no way to do it in my apartment without setting off

IP protection is an entirely separate thing and has a huge body of case law around it already. Non compete and non solicitation do not allow employees to take IP with them, as evidenced by the many cases against tech employees who tried to

The authors of the paper seem to have misinterpreted why many cognitively healthy students take ritalin/adderall. It's not to make you smarter or more able to solve complex problems, it's to let you focus and cram on large wo

FYI, Uber/Lyft are massively more expensive than owning your own vehicle or using public transit (3x-4x the cost) if you need to go places regularly. They are currently not a viable solution for lower income residents of most cities.

If your goal is to get carbon out of the atmosphere instead of keeping it bound up in a fuel > CO2 > fuel cycle then splitting to C + O2 is exactly what you want to do. I.e., the same thing trees do; true carbon sequestration rather t

Chevy won’t make enough of them because they don’t make any money on them. In fact, they were losing thousands of dollars on every Bolt sold for years. What customers want is a car that’s sold for below cost, which is of course completely u
