I really hope there's more than what we've seen so far. The videos I've seen have basically been debunked as visual artifacts, namely parallax which exaggerates the apparent speed, and artifacts from triangular apertures comm

I wrote a long post in reply to this, but HN lost it :( :( I feel that people are over-simplifying this issue greatly on both sides in this thread. Basically, it seems like the definition of GoF is not totally agreed upon even by top scient

Is it right to focus so much on entrepreneurship? Of course at the top, it matters a lot, but isn't a lot of mobility also driven by more average careers?

I'm not sure why it's so amazing that there are a bunch of local landlords profiting off people's need for shelter. Great for them that they get to get rich, but why is making sure rich people stay rich so important again? In

This appears to be the source given[1] for the claims https://www.snowbullcapital.com/tracking-tesla-job-postings . No idea what to make of this methodology, which appears to be based on tracking re-use of req ids. Someone m

This is maybe a ridiculous question, but why is that so much better? If someone is able to live cheaply, why is it better for them to work in some menial, low-wage job versus being supported by a relative? I think something you have to cons

It's true, there are no tech people driving Teslas or late model luxury cars. As you say, there is universal agreement with you, because your opinion is the objective truth.

I think with Tesla the only subscription is "premium connectivity", which is basically a cell data plan. The car works fine without it. Even the nav will still use traffic data for routing, it just won't visualize it for you.

Do you have any evidence for these claims? This just feels like luddism to me.

A used Chevy Spark EV may be exactly what you need: https://www.edmunds.com/used-chevrolet-spark-ev/ . If you can boost budget a bit, you can probably a used Leaf or similar.

+1 on feature flags. Set up your flags so you can disable features for certain customers, or groups/classes of customers. Delivery and release can then be separated. Release frequently, deliver features when it makes sense. Also recomm

Low rates are effectively a demand-side subsidy for housing I think, similar to other policies. But as you point out, if you restrict the supply-side, demand-side subsidy can be counter-productive.

What does it feel like? And have you tried to mitigate confirmation bias at all? I'm just curious, bc I work in a small office.

You have to agree to it before you take delivery of the vehicle. You can cancel it if you don't like this issue. (I know because I am in this situation.)

> Most Americans never leave their hometown This can't possibly be right. Maybe they never move away , but never leave a radius of 200 miles from their home town? Do you have a cite for that?

I've been following the situation via a few Youtube folks with non-Tesla charging, and I think your description is a bit exaggerated for the US, but not entirely. It seems like many routes (not all though) along interstates have enough

You are misinterpreting what people are saying. I searched for "uninhabitable", and the comment you're referring to says particular places will be uninhabitable. Not the world. This is true, according to scientific predicti

It kind of seems like this article is saying that if we (in 1989) slow global warming by the year 2000, the worst effects of sea level rise will not happen. It's not saying that those effects will happen in the year 2000. My understa
