Thank you. Not sure why people are spreading this dumb “scandal”

Let’s be clear: 1. He sold index funds, not individual stocks like the other officials. 2. His “boss” (Trump) was holding up legislation to save the economy so it’s possible he was worried about the economy for reasons outside his control 3

They’re finally copying the best designed MOBA that was unfortunately late to the party, Heroes of the Storm. The lack of cross-team chat greatly reduces toxicity compared to League and DOTA even though MOBAs as a whole tend to be a bit tox

Seems far too simplistic. Berkeley is actually even more liberal on many issues so your explanation doesn’t really make sense.

Yes Miami has much worse and much more dangerous traffic than SF. The number of accidents on I-95 is insane. Meanwhile many people in the Bay Area just take BART or walk to work which is essentially impossible in Miami.

Yes Lucid Motors is at half the valuation and doesn't rely on only one customer who may not purchase any vehicles. I think this IPO will not go super well due to the valuation and Lucid will ultimately benefit from the attention. I&#x2

Tesla is also focused on subscription services (more and more over time). I haven't heard much negative sentiment about them using the model other than from people who don't think certain features (notably self driving) are comple

I don't think its about looks at all. If anything its mostly been about range followed by price. Now that some of the newer cars like the Lucid Air go 520 miles on a single charge, its going to start to be a much easier sell especially

This is the last of the big three EV startups to go public. Lucid Motors (cars), Proterra (buses) and now Rivian (trucks). The valuation seems too high but they have a lot of momentum and enthusiasts behind them so I imagine there will be m

Yes anyone who is screwed out of millions is free to quit. But it doesn’t make it less unethical or remove the sting. Now they need to go on a hunt for a new job instead of retiring.

Sure but it doesn’t mean your employer should lie to you to keep all the shares for themselves

For what’s it’s worth it’s more of a bag scan rather than a full security check like at the airport. Certainly the full security check is not something I want to deal with but it wasn’t too bad. They only do it at the main stations in Spain

Not sure about the other poster but I know Stripe existed by another name first as they iterated on the product. I remember being there when Twitter tried to buy the early startup to monetize tweets. They sure missed out on that acquisition

Yes the 520 miles on the Lucid Air shipping in October is a total game changer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28689432 Amazing how Norway is so far ahead on electrification. I feel like many people are still skeptica

You can root it and sideload on their end of life devices. Not exactly what most people are trying to buy new.

Sounds like they were talked into profit sharing instead of equity and now the profit sharing won’t apply at Intuit so they likely got almost nothing from it

> Not promising equity if you do sell can be a sensible decision, because you keep more of the money to yourself. As long as you're transparant about not selling Yes it’s always sensible to take more money for yourself lol. But they

Well you’re not distinguishing between two situations: 1. Someone chooses not to have equity because they want more cash now, don’t want to risk part of their compensation on equity, etc. 2. The company says their equity will never be liqui

$ASTS and others are launching large LEO constellations starting in March from what I understand. They have major partnerships with Vodafone, AT&T, and more.

My iPhones have always gotten software updates much longer than my Android phones so I’m always curious why Apple gets targeted so often when talking about phasing out old phones. Heck half of the new Androids had trouble getting software u

I believe the other poster is saying that by sending a work email from your laptop or probably even by connecting to the company servers through it, your device could be theoretically investigated as part of a lawsuit. If you don’t use it f
