If they had interesting hybrids I might be interested. The last interesting hybrid was the Chevy Volt. Make a plug-in series hybrid with 100+ mile EV range and I’ll get excited. Parallel hybrids are just fancy ICE.

Repave or expand local roads don’t widen freeways.

My 5yo EV is doing great and the range degradation is like 3%. 68k miles on it also.

Do you login to your Windows with a Windows account or a Microsoft ID? Do you attach a Mac account to your MacBook or an Apple ID? Tying the arguably weaker brand to the stronger one is so commonplace in the industry that it’s a bit laugha

I disagree. It’s like the arguments that buying a new ICE car doesn’t add carbon to the atmosphere because if you didn’t that someone else would. A false narrative. Yes CA would have gotten less freeway dollars but more freeways just cause

Never ignore corruption as a possible reason. Microsoft and the UK government are very chummy.

Removing special needs kids from your population is the quickest way to increase test scores and reduce budget. As a parent of a child with special needs, I've studied the financials of schools in my district to find out how special

But what if you sold it for cash? For all Apple knows that's what happened in the poster's case (he sold it, then somehow got physical access again, then wants to steal the other person's data) I really see no way for Apple t

Where is this happening? I can tell you in CA, new exurbs are coming online, not depopulating.

The TP shortage was most definitely exacerbated by some people buying 1000x as much just to be able to resell it at a profit. So I agree, if meats were in shortage you would see similar attempts (even though it's illegal) and worse -

Even a large amount of lacto-ovo-vegetarian vs. omnivore will reduce the amount of farm animals (and feed/land use) by a vast amount. offtopic: I disagree with the "subspecies" comment from GP - it was a bit inflammatory.

My concern is that any pro-Palestinian content gets axed (US/EU are very pro-Israel) Like the story about the HAMAS rapes/baby beheadings were completely uncorroborated - will any questioning of that be censored?

No need for that; EU can essentially poison EU markets for FB (sanctions/fines/blocks). Most shareholders will act accordingly and tank the stock. Even if Mark can ignore because he holds most of the voting interest, this direct

What I theorized 10 years ago - balkanization of the internet - a GFW for each country/jurisdiction, and large entities like FAAMG forced to either play ball (and allow country censors), split up their operations, or leave markets.

My EV gets a huge chunk back and it has amazing torque on climbs… not sure how this compares for as large a vehicle as a fully loaded truck though.

HN crowd understands ssh certs and the difficulty of key exchange. Most others simply don't. So they need to simplify. If the result is that users are not using passwords, then aren't passkeys an alternative to passwords?

Unfortunately, in our economic system this is not allowed unless that engineer CEO happens to have incredible clout, financial control or both.

It’s the world’s 4th largest economy if it were a country. Of course, in an oligarchy (which we are) that has a lot of pull. The “shithole” state nonsense is just copium.

If they're selling directly to RU then how are they avoiding lawsuits/jail time? If they selling to CN/IN intermediaries and getting dollars that's not directly gettin dollars from RU anyway.

Do we really need to be sitting to do the jobs? One of my favorite conference rooms in my office has a desk that’s perfect height for standing but also comes with high chairs for those who don’t want to stand. Unless the meeting is > 1hr

Actually your content-free ad-hominem retort is more typical of politician-speak.
