I have a feeling Elon musk being the richest billionaire will bully Richard Tornetta to teach him a lesson. Billionaires are powerful people, and people can be very petty when someone goes against their ego.

With L1/L2 your partner can work. H1B is more complex for spouse to work.

Elon could have kept Tesla private. I doubt SpaceX is ever going public after this shenanigans.

Sure. He shouldn’t have sold 87% of his ownership then. He’s only a 13% owner. Could have kept Tesla private like SpaceX.

I’ve heard Meta is going full throttle to make their Ray Ban form factor glasses have an AR display. Very much like the XReal glasses but with resolution of Quest line. I loved my XReals. The biggest issue with them was it had no head/

Designed in US, Assembled in China. I feel there is a lot that can be done in US but the electronics industry is slowly eroding.

What if the social network is created by kids? I guess I need to write to my representatives. It's funny that the Republicans tout they are the party of "freedom", yet restrict the liberties. Why not let parents decide how th

If a comment goes below 0 (total votes), it gets greyed out. I've found HN pretty divided when it comes topics like energy/climate/electric vehicles, immigration and foreign policy. Before I used to feel bad, now I somewhat e

I am personally pretty opposed to taxing co2 emissions and playing games with carbon credit. We should not be making energy expensive for the lay person. Provide subsidies to build new solar, wind and nuclear farms - sure. The world will qu

The scale at which China is deploying Solar is more than rest of world combined. It’s frankly quite amazing. If any major economy achieved zero emissions for productions of electricity, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was either China using S

HN greys out the post if negatively voted. It can still be seen. I like when HN has varying points of view with supporting links/data. I’m with you on the population and per capita resource use. Fact is that India is also slowly leveli

Screen stimulation is a legit real thing across modern society. I am guilty. It’s easier for me to fast for a day, but a digital fast feels very very unconfortable. I tried not using my phone or a screen for an entire day. By evening I got

Seeing how many hidden speed cameras there are in Australia to catch someone going slightly over on a plain straight road with steep fines, no thank you! I very much like that US treats me as an adult when driving. I am fine with cops pulli

You have sources for that? From everything I’ve studied all super bombs (hydrogen fusion bombs) are also fission bombs. Since it is a chain of different kind of explosion stages that finally get the fusion reaction started. First convention

Israel seems to be optimizing for the short win at the cost of losing who they are. Granted Hamas attacked them first but their actions give Jews worldwide a bad rep.

I feel this is where the world is seeing the failure of US. When US have Ukraine weapons to defend themselves, we were the good guys. When US gives Israel the weapons to attack and airbomb Palestinians in daylight it puts US in a very bad l

This is Apple’s way of saying “we got billions in our war chest to keep on playing law games and paying some millions in fine but we’ll get what we want!”

So not really open. Still need Apple’s permission and pay their tax to run something on a device you purchased for ~$1000.

Apple should be spending some money on robotics. They’re obviously going into spatial computing. Robotics is also spatial computing.

Apple would hire those engineers and build something similar. AI needs those GPUs/TPUs to run and on mobile phones they need to be power efficient. Apple has the best flop/$/watt SOCs right now. But you never know.

IMO the next big computing device is glasses with fashionable look like Aviators or Ray Bans. A private screen, speaker, and finger tracking. It could even be a glasses and a band you wear on wrist that accurately track finger motion even t

I missed the launch. Was only a 3 hour drive for me. Last time I went there, the people who lived in Titusville, FL told me it was so routine to see rocket launches, it’s become normal part of their life. SpaceX has almost 300 re-usable roc
