Now it's the Navy and the CIA? When does the NSA get roped into this elaborate conspiracy? Get a grip.

Maybe, just maybe you can care about two things at the same time? Maybe, just maybe, a Wuhan lab leak was concealed by the Chinese gov't to save face, thus shrinking the amount of time we had to respond fast in order to save lives?

Those aren't excuses, those are legitimate gripes/complaints. If EVs were that great, they would've beat ICE, especially since they're available at artificially lower prices (subsidies). EV sales are microscopic vs. IC

Flame bait article. Tesla is a high-end/luxury brand trying to dabble in more affordable, but still luxurious vehicles. Those products are lower volume, but have higher margins. Imagine reading an article titled: China's Go-Kar

Greed isn't good or bad, it just is. It's a known variable. Greed makes something that's very complicated (human behavior) simpler to understand.

I agree with most of these, but the Rain Design laptop stand sucks. Why is it static when it can easily adjust based on various people's heights and use cases. This was a much better buy (I compared it to the Rain Design one side by

I sometimes joke that climate change orthodoxy is driven in part by the CIA in order to retard growth/industrialization in semi and non-developed countries in order to elongate America's hold on power. I would describe myself as a

Are you including mining costs for the metals to create wind turbines and solar panels? The mining costs to create a battery network large enough to have backup power for billions of households? What about the carbon cost of replacing and

This line of thinking would have never made renewables possible.

Weird website. It seems almost GPT-3 generated, or translated using Google Translate. Who uses the term "Planet Energy"? Why is it capitalized? If OP wasn't an old account I would assume this post is spam.

Not exactly sure what you mean by "decades demonizing journalism"? Who is doing the demonizing? Decades? Paper journalism's death has been exacerbated by the Internet, but it was dying long before the WWW was a thing. Radio

"Journalism" isn't a real profession anymore. It doesn't attract writing talent, except at the margins. Why should it, journalism jobs have decreased by more than ~50% the last decade. Journalists are now just copywrit

Apple is probably the worst FAANG for good content production. They seem only to invest in very well known artists which in turn produce entirely milquetoast content (Greyhound, For All Mankind, etc.). Good art pushes boundaries; crappy ar

HN masses cheering on the success of Soylent Red or Soylent Yellow?? Just eat less meat if you think meat production is bad/bad for the planet, don't cheer on meat substitutes, which are just processed foods made from entirely pro

This is why we should not rely on businesses to lead the vanguard of social progress. A recent example is BLM. If you actually think most businesses that aired an ad or have a BLM webpage on their homepage actually care about advancing bl

These might work in a regulatory black hole in China, but they won't anywhere in the West. Smart has had a small electric car for sale for nearly a decade and you never see them around. Maybe when the alternative is a scooter an elect

The Dollar debt denominated system either blows up taking down American hegemony with it or the Fed, et al. manages to inflate its way out of the debt and America prospers while the rest of the world lags behind. Given that the two other c

The F35 is just a stealth movable radar and the Navy is just transport for vertical launch cells that are used to shoot offensive missiles like the Tomahawk and defensive missiles like the referenced SM-3. The future of warfare is crazy. I

I'm not really sure on what basis you conclude that Amazon and/or Facebook are more vulnerable than Google. Google controls +80% of search; it dominates desktop browsers with 70% market share; it effectively owns the most popular

If it's permissable/legal, why describe it as shenanigans. Is rounding people up in vans and driving them to the polls also shenanigans?

I believe this is because the current state of things on the web advocates for consumption instead of curation, and you can see this trend in every domain not just movies/media. Multi-billion dollar corporations do not want their inve

SCOTUS clerks mostly end up doing appellate work in private practice, and a lot tend to leave after a few years to pursue academic careers. A law firm can tout that it has SCOTUS clerks within its ranks to show off to clients. Since there&#
