they seem a bit too ready to give me advice, as if I were completely naive. I find myself guilty of this often, more so because I'm younger than most people I give advice to. Interestingly enough, the responses I receive always put me in

I don't agree with you. This should be a simple A/B test in my opinion. Inspect every single monetary transaction. Measure the results. Do not inspect every monetary transaction. Measure the results. Has money laundering and crime increase

Do you have any proof that your Tercel actually gets 42 MPG on the highway?

Regenerative breaking has to do with recharging the battery from the forward momentum of your vehicle. How can you stop the car without disc brake pads (Assuming you have disc and not drum brakes)?

I don't know of any house in my neighbourhood that has a 240V line in their garage. This requires installation. I do not live in a rural area and neither do my friends.

Why don't you have to replace worn our brake pads on an EV?

That's a fair point. But it depends on what your needs for a car are.

Have you compared the fuel savings for a more recent gasoline-powered auto? You would be surprised to hear that they are becoming more fuel efficient. How about Hybrids? A Prius can get 50mpg. Or how about a diesel engine? Then you won't lo

Honda's website says the range is 240 miles [1] I would argue most people don't have 240 Volt electric lines running through their house in North America so they need to 'build' that infrastructure at home too. [1] http://automobiles.honda

I'm sorry but I find that a poor example. You have to maintain a car, feed it (oil/diesel/electricity) and care for it (regular washing), otherwise it will go the 'way of the horse' ... I agree with you on your last statement but I don't th

That's a very good point and very observant. I too am highly skeptical of ALL of these claims. My main gripe with Soylent (ever since I first saw it here on HN a month ago) is that they are making cooking seem like a horrible chore that nob

This has been reiterated over and over again and is just a bunch of fluff. It doesn't explain why PHP is bad with examples and while I know there are a ton of sites that do, many people including myself have used PHP successfully in the pas

I'm glad you had a great experience visiting Toronto and experiencing the startup culture there. I'm sure I'll see the area totally different when I return from SF and I may just find a role that I fit in very well. I totally agree with you

Current intern in SF at the moment... 34% of my salary is going to rent and I get to live in the heart of SF, in SoMa. The place is gorgeous and the location is safe. It just takes some effort to find a good place.
