Sure. You’re ignoring that the global market for cars is rapidly growing. What they may lose in cam shaft sales, they may gain in EV part sales anyway. Battery sales. Time will tell. This would be a good place to mention that even Tesla has

Re: 1. I can only speak to the company I saw up close, Mitsuba [1]. They are already very sophisticated on all fronts you've described: mechanical, electrical, material. Even software. If I had to guess, they're licking their lips

Having worked with a car parts manufacturer in Japan, I disagree. It's true there's a huge industry for white label car parts manufacturing in Japan. These companies are extremely agile. They will adapt. Taking contracts for novel

For each project, there's a unique balance between HTML, CSS, and the greater organization. Consider a site that mostly renders Markdown or XML documents. Tailwind is probably the wrong choice. You have less control of the HTML content

It’s a Finland solution to a Finland problem. I don’t intend to suggest it as anything more. Only to show the parent commenter that his/her idea is not so radical; there’s precedent elsewhere in the world.

You’re describing Finland. They outlawed private school funding for exactly the reason you’re proposing: to get the wealthiest and most engaged parents invested in fixing public schools for all. It worked. They have one of the best public e

Because the “Enterprise Architect” who hasn’t done any actual coding in 15 years, and still preaches 15-year-old FUD about open source, will be openly hostile to anything that isn’t superficially related to his anointed tech stack. Which wi

It's not just simple content sites. The other day, I placed an online order for curbside pickup (with a national brick-and-mortar chain). When the time came, I drove up to their curb. But I couldn't access their "I'm at

I’m reminded of an incident at a local school. The principal, a black woman, became increasingly incompetent. The teachers, many of them POC themselves, were now collectively doing her job for her. They tried to get her removed. The NAACP g

This is especially true when it comes to raising kids. Children have their own personalities. Some will be introverts and others will be party animals. Some will be quiet and others will make trouble. If a person goes into the job of parent

The real story here is that the author depended upon these jerks for his/her work visa, facing deportation back to (I assume) a less pleasant country. It sounds like everyone involved took advantage of that fact. Perhaps systemically.

Yep. I was diagnosed with Asperger's later in life. I received this diagnosis after I already had a successful career, happy marriage, and house full of kids. Not much of a hindrance, right? On the other hand, my brother suffers a much

I have. State government too. Also a couple BigCo orgs. I can confirm that all are absurdly wasteful. The incentives, culture, and flavor are different but the results are the same.

I moved to Sacramento for all the same reasons, and I also love it here. I remember a lot of people talked down on Sac when I lived in the Bay. It feels like I’ve discovered a secret by moving here. EDIT: Here are a few more things to like

That’s probably good general advice. One problem. I’m increasingly coming across devs who’ve never used Promises directly, only async/await. They’re introducing all kinds of problems into code because they don’t have that foundational

Personal example. I already have an nVidia Shield. It works out of the box, it's nice, and it already does everything I want. Even if I jailbroke my TV's smartness, then said TV's smartness probably still wouldn't work a

I imagine most people capable of rooting a TV would already have better alternatives at hand: an Apple TV, an Nvidia Shield, a PlayStation, etc. There’s not much daily incentive to tinker.

It's optimizing for a different type of convenience. If I get a smart toaster, such as the Revolution Cooking Smart Toaster, then I'll get a bunch of nifty features: touchscreen controls, notifications on my phone when the slice i

The bit about scarce WiFi is surprising. Back in 2005, I did a lot of warbiking in Tokyo, and signals were easy to find.

Back in 2010, he made prescient predictions about our current state of affairs. That’s why he’s getting attention.

It's a nice idea in theory, but I don't see Apple putting in the effort to make this fruitful. For example, we just saw an article rise to the top of HN in the last couple days about the pathetic state of Apple's developer do

Thank you for saying this. I've experienced the same thing. Like you, I seldom mention my chronic pain as a result. You're right, it's exhausting. I try to remind myself that it's more about the other person's insec

You shouldn’t wear masks to “make people feel comfortable”. You should wear masks because even asymptomatic people can spread the disease. You could unknowingly catch and help spread the disease to someone who is vulnerable. Someone you mig

That’s not an educated take. Just to take my own example, I’m unable to use the Kinesis Advantage because the bones in my right wrist are curved following an old injury. I’m physically incompatible with that keyboard. But split keyboards wo

Fully agree with the author. My biggest complaint about web components is that I don’t see a lot of advantages over using React, Svelte, or some other JS library. The author hints at this: if I’m already committing to a big JS build process

Well, yeah. The presentation showed emergent new ways to place calls. Not sure how this contradicts the original point that iPhone was an evolution of the cell phone.

You should go back and rewatch that original iPhone announcement. Phone calls were a major highlight. They did a live, on-stage conference call between Jobs, Ive, and Schiller. Jobs phoned in the infamous thousand latte order to Starbucks.
