I see some early trends in Poland (a lot of soviet-style concrete blocks of flats) where the modernisation is done better. Article in Polish, but worth translating or just looking at the photos: https://www.money.pl/gospodar

I take a bus / hitchhike to the next petrol station and come back with a canister of fuel. It fortunately never happened to me personally. On top of that, the "E" will mean I still have around 100 kms of range, maybe more if

What do you do when you arrive at the charger with 6% battery left and the charger doesn’t work? Or if there’s a significant queue?

I think it should not be added. There are so many US-only news and we’re not adding the “in USA”. Please do not assume default = USA.

If I read your post correctly and you still live in Eastern Europe - I'd use these funds to invest in security of you and your family and move out. Even being a few hundred kms further to the west (Romania / Slovakia / Poland

Or they will be not. We have seen this already with self-driving cars - getting to 90% is easy, 95% is difficult, 100% might never be achievable. It's definitely not a linear progress.

I think the closest to what you need would be some sort of pico hydro with pumped storage.

Is it little? It’s not much lower than what people in central/eastern Europe make and I believe that life in these part of China is cheaper.

I believe the reason is much simpler - 2017-2019 was a peak of hopes for Tesla. New models, scaling up, Roadster, Semi, Cybertruck announced, the competition was weak and sky was the limit. FSD / Robotaxi was promised to be ready in ma

What would have happened if there is a road closure and you need to drive extra 20kms? Or a traffic jam that would make you wait one hour?

Could Hooters then reject a woman based on visual trait connected to a race, arguing that it doesn't give her the required "sex appeal"? Skin colour would be of course to obvious, but lips size or body shape?

That is quite fascinating to me (as a layperson and non-american). Are there any articles or is there any literature that you'd advise in that topic? I'd be interested in something that gives more context, details and examples tha

Could you say that you need a white male bartender for your pub in rural Texas, because your customers are racist and sexist and anyone else would make them feel uncomfortable? Or would that "choice" be limited by the protected st

Ok, but then the US Air Force would not hire anyone shorter than 64 inches or taller than 77 inches. Your height is a part of your genetics, you can't change it. Why are people outside of this range not protected? Am I oversimplifying

It really surprises me how much attention twitter is getting on HN. I must be living in some bubble, because not only I have never had an account there, I also do not know anyone who would be using it. From my perspective I'd judge the

Ok, that is an example where his advice was apparently incorrect. Was that a rule though? If you give advice in 100 different meetings, you'll be wrong in some of them for sure, even if you're a domain expert. If he was the CTO an
