I'm seeing a lot of people here assuming that the purpose of green hydrogen is for fuel cells / automotive transport, but I don't see many people in this space talking about that anymore (except Toyota). Instead there is a lo

Came here to say the same. I cancelled two months back and I really don't miss it. On the other hand if HBOMax hiked their prices to $30/mo I wouldn't blink. For me I associate the big red "N" with bad content. So w

pretty wild how these outages are basically just tolerated now. folks just get some coffee refresh HN a dozen times and then resume work when it comes back online. no huge uproar, no exodus from GH

A lot hinges on what would actually happen to WeWork during a recession. I think there's some possibility that when a recession hits, many companies may find WeWork (and coworking generally) more attractive as they downsize. I'm a

Honest question: do you want to see Google broken up or heavily regulated? If I were lucky enough to work at Google, I think I'd be cheering for regulation so I could enjoy all the sweet comp and meaningful work without feeling conflic

I'm not sure if you need all of the parts in place to see if / how it works. The fed could start offsetting deficits to the tune of $100B to the treasury and see how the USD, bond markets react. If inflation goes up, it could in t

Thank you - it’s very refreshing to see these points here. So many comments here miss the main points of the article or default to tired lines from Econ 101. Yes more affordable housing is good an important but it takes a long time. And the

Sundar's letter unsatisfactory here. Isn't the real scandal that the company weighed the risk of terminating Rubin without compensation and decided not to. If I were a Google employee I'd be wondering when it will be expedie

The title of the piece is extremely misleading... this didn't happen today; it's since 2016. Were that not the case, I'd completely agree with you here.

The actual framing of issues like this as a cost-benefit is much closer to the root problem. Make these decisions more expensive? Sure. But the deeper problem is doing this kind of financial calculus in the face of monstrous moral behavior.

This is really a partial accounting of the risk. Don't forget to include the risk of reporters finding out about this whole arrangement and doing further damage to an already tarnished company and industry. But risk assessment is reall

Not to sound like a free market idealist here, but don't market forces keep this in check? In general, miners won't mine unless there is a financial incentive to do so. as Bitcoin matures, that financial incentive maps closely to
