> If State Sen. Loveless's statement is accurate As someone who is closely following the topic I would say he is pretty accurate. Most of these laws are passed claiming it is meant to target hardened criminals. Good people like us t

I lived in India for many years. India has idiotic laws but the government simply does not have enough money to enforce any laws. As a result we can simply ignore the laws and get about our business. (That also explains corruption and inabi

The numbers are one search away. In fact even without the numbers intuition should be sufficient to see that it makes sense. Auto industry accounts for 20% of total Li batteries. Where as consumer electronics (which is probably growing way

You are correct. VIP might be not the right word but there could be better wording than the official "surge pricing". If you are charging someone 25% more clearly tell why and what the user is getting more than those who are not w

That is absolutely right. Uber most certainly needs to fire their PR people. If I had to design a campaign to ensure Uber loses the vote, that is how I would designed the PR. It was unbelievably bad. Asking for votes is essentially an emoti

I don't see how cars will have any impact on battery life. How many cars do we sell each year? Even if we assume 10% of cars are electric it is nothing but a drop in an ocean in terms of number of batteries being sold. I am unable to s

I am not sure why learned members of HN don't get sarcasm. But anecdotally Trudeau was worried about carbon footprints from a camp fire he once attended, but these wildfires don't bother him.

I suspect Canada's prime concern was the very high carbon footprint of firefighters from USA and Russia.

Let us take the whole thing with a pinch of salt as it is highly one sided story. Governments having their services on web is absolutely must but passing a decree against apps does seem a bit odd to me. Isn't it the case that more citi

Lobbying is my primary guess. They are disrupting one of the most heavily regulated markets where government is protecting special interest groups. I would not even have bet any money that Uber could have taken off the ground. But they have

I don't think there should be any protection to prevent the wrong. That ventures into totalitarian regime.

I would propose BI based loan systems. Borrow from bank a large amount and bank will recover the money from BI over a very long period depending on the age of the person. If a 80 year old person get heart attack he will get far less money a

Many of those cases are about law and order and not necessarily welfare. I do not see CPS as a welfare organization.

Most of our government programs are screwed up because they suffer from "over-fitting". Just like in statistics you can some up with a higher order polynomial that fits all your known data points but in practice it is going to be

Poverty is an issue long solved in USA. We are talking about relative poverty and governments are trying to push totalitarian redistribution schemes everywhere.

As a small publisher and given Google's lack of customer support on such issues I will wait till this gets adopted to better understand best practices.

"Misery" is a relative term. A 12 year old working in fields might seem harsh to an American but for an Indian or Bangladeshi kid that is an opportunity because the alternative is dying on the street devoid of any help. Many top A
