I got back into reading books after a long hiatus and was pleasantly surprised by how much I missed them. The depth of thought and nuance is just totally different than an article or youtube video. I still consume plenty of modern media but

How long does it take to listen to a voicemail and call them back? A one or two minute delay is almost never going to cause an issue. Even in the highest crime areas the ratio of spam calls to legit and urgent calls is going to be thousands

Yeah it's pretty unreal how hard Sundar is working to confirm all of the opinions about him being an out of touch and ineffectual manager. That line was unbelievably cringe inducing.

That 48% number probably overstates things a fair amount because having access to a garage doesn't mean you can easily park all of your cars in it every night. I couldn't find the number of cars that actually garage park regularly

Being on a lease is even more reason not to generalize from your situation. Leases only make sense for people with the disposable income to get a new car every few years. People who are strapped for cash either buy older cars or get a newer

That's great for you, but a huge portion of people with a limited car budget don't have a garage to charge in overnight, or the funds to install a charger. Also an old ICE car can usually be kept running for quite a while with mai

I agree that internet-scale communities are pretty bad for many (maybe most) topics. But Discord goes too far in the other direction with terrible discoverability. Most posters who would be good contributers to a given group never learn of

So do countries, if we're looking at a long enough time scale. There is no end in sight for the war in Ukraine and when the end comes it's likely to be messy. It might be more of a pause than a true end, and one or both sides will

Wait, who is talking about colonization? The Royal Navy isn't planning an invasion of Japan; nobody is forcing anything on the country regarding immigration or demographics. The country has chosen to keep immigration low for decades, a

I totally agree and can't wait for the trend of conflating awful touchscreen interfaces with EV drivetrains to die off. I'm interested in getting an EV for my next car but I find the UX on all of the current options atrocious. I

For one, HN isn't a monolith. There are plenty of people on here who agree and disagree on each of the topics you listed. On the topic of social media, I think that there is a widespread belief that we could have tools that give us the

I guess it depends on what you find fulfilling. Having new and interesting experiences in your 20s and 30s can have a pretty different effect on your life than leasure time in your 40s+. In my experience there is minimal overlap between peo
