Has anyone else noticed the increased "scrutiny" the US has been putting on Chinese companies recently? Huawei seems to be the biggest example and its worrying me because they are starting to strong arm EU allies to follow in thei

Isn't this one of the exact problems we're moving to streaming and away from cable to escape?

This is basically it. I have a choice between 4 services in my city. I pick the cheapest one whenever i want to go somewhere (Thanks VC cash burn) Last man standing gets the monopoly.

Do you even have a functioning passenger train network? I've heard terrible things.

Is it any different to the last 100 years where "enormous companies are owning the future" could be applied to railways or oil giants. Tech is just the latest iteration and these 5 companies are our front runners. Will something e

"liberated" might be the most revisionist word possible. The place is now a 3rd world country.

That might explain it then, i'm not fantastically well traveled outside of Europe and the only place I've seen monsters like this is Florida and Maine...

Some real stinkers as well (although some ok ones). My guess is that Uber will be the poster child that kills this IPO season or at least comes to define it.

First time hearing of Rivian. Cool concept, i imagine getting electric motors to move huge trucks around is a better/more mainstream application then a 0-60 in 2 second hyper car. Looking at their product line up this is strictly for U

Personal investment vs. corporate one. I don't understand the relevance.

I think its a sign of the late economic cycle, nothing is cheap and titans have already been established in the last 11 years. I'd be inclined to hold my money and see what shakes out of the next inevitable market shake up. But then i&

What kind of savage country gives a 16 year old "a long stretch of hard time" ?

United states of Europe. Just wait till the chatter about a combined EU army crops up again...

If the article is to be believed why does the USA feel the need to police waters 6,600 miles from its mainland. Surely their claim to this area is lesser when compared to Chain, Japan, Tiawan ect....

Does SF have high population density? That's never been my impression from reading HN.

Again, probably need a physicist or engineer to figure out if that's enough to get water to the 500-600 degrees typically used in steam driven turbines.

I sometime wonder is heavy handed policing has always been common in major countries and we didn't have the mass communication tools to share it or if its a newer phenomenon

by swarnie_ 8y ago
Not an engineer so maybe someone else will have to chime in but i doubt the radial heat from a GPU is enough to heat an element which in turn can flash water to steam. Surely you cant get the density needed before the GPU's themselves

I don't disagree with you but ultimately is that a bad thing? My data and private actions are already being monitored by too many people, why introduce another potential spy in the form of the Chinese government?

Isn't this the EXACT scenario government grants and subsidies are supposed to resolve?

Nukes only really work when you flex against someone without them, see Russia and the Ukraine or America and most the world. The dick waving contest between India and Pakistan is probably the scariest situation on earth right now.

Company which lights a billion dollars on fire each year is not a sound investment? No shit.... As a regular user of Lyft i still have 0% loyalty. I can get 3 or 4 different services in my city and you can be sure i'm picking the cheap
