Yeah so in this case Russia is the one invading places for baseless reasons, and all nearby European states fear they are next. Europe also remembers how appeasement went for Europeans before wwii when another country though it would be coo

You forgot to mention, if the US didn’t back Europe’s stance on Ukraine (yes Europe’s stance), then China would have a green light to invade Taiwan, and most certainly do it. And once that precedent is set of invading neighbors like that, n

That is incorrect, those are not government monopolies, those spaces have private options. FedEx, DHL, UPS and government USPS Parks - there’s a ton of types with equivalent public and private versions Police - private security Firefighters

But would political motivation even be relevant? With how politically motivated assange was, political motivation is clearly not an issue in his context. Or would it be a classic case of “it’s okay when my guy does it, but people I don’t li

Musk’s whims are far worse than Job’s. Cybertruck, gull wing doors, X, S3XY, etc - musk is like a 13 year old middle schooler combined with Apple.

One of the things about the whole asssange wikileaks affaire that always bothered me is how many people would pick a sides and then consider anything the opposing side to claim to be suspect and likely false, while taking everything “their

Razer warranty service is extremely hostile - luckily I only had a mouse break in warranty. But it’s a huge ordeal with a lot of back and forth emails and they insisted on a reply within 48 hours for each of the emails or they’d close the c

Because accustomization and normalizations removes the awe from what at first were amazing achievements. It’s the standard expectation creep effect. What’s novel or exciting today is boring tomorrow. Try showing today’s phones to someone in

Okay so you’re advocating for increased government regulation to combat this?

Does an asset limit of 2,000 set in 1980 without any inflation adjustments and a hard cliff benefit removal sound sensible?

No, I can see the commenters frustration. Unless one is versed in Llm space, one is more likely to know mamba as the package manager and find the headline and also the GitHub page confusing. The markdown read me is supposed to provide the

Okay so is Mamba also an llm? There’s too much name overloading! I’m familiar with mamba, the conda like thing in python, but a numpy implementation of that makes no sense.

That is wrong per the article. The article says organic and conventional are essentially the same with mycotoxins except one toxin where conventional is worse.

Telling average users that aren’t HN readers, or particularly comp savvy for other reasons, that they now need to work out whether they want M chips, intel chips or arm chips is just going to confuse them. I’m pretty sure most consumers wil

Wonder how this will go for them. Im sure one’s personal mileage will vary, but this is my experience. I use windows for work Mac personal, and by far windows is more annoying with pop ups. Both do have a fair number of pop ups, it’s true.

A lot of HOAs have reasonable boards but contract out a lot of management to companies (I wouldn’t be be surprised if they were owned by private equity firms). These companies are incentivized to find infraction to fine, and drive around re

It’s not a choice when the overwhelming majority of available homes to buy have HOAs.

Like seriously, that was like saying that arresting the purveyors of contaminated, tainted meat is harming the food supply. It’s an argument that seems to be intentionally reversed in order to destroy logical debate.

Interesting, I find it refreshingly egalitarian and not classist and extractive. It really bothers me how other airlines treat seating as a way to further bleed customers of money and create tiers.

Reading the article, the picture is appropriate, musk is a petulant micromanager who is allergic to people with differing opinions and demands dumb unquestioning loyalty. He apparently wants goons not experts. the firing of the charging tea

I’m not following the logic here. are you saying the ICC panel is incorrect about their recommendation? How does an earlier lapse in justice effect an entirely separate event?

Okay… but the reference they called out wasn’t very long and had a clear bar chart comparing different vehicular types that included battery manufacturing as one of the components. One could even ignore all the text and just look at the bar

If you ever visit SF, make sure to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s scenic as all hell, but also gratingly loud and unpleasant from the road noise (note the term is road noise not engine noise) Running next to >30mph street is a

No, I am not. Car dominated cities and transport have many issues. All EVs do is mitigate the tailpipe CO2 issue. Take for example the phrase “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” Cars definitely are ideal for certain things, but
