Why does actual EPA range numbers matter, when we all know they aren't perfectly accurate? They aren't accurate for ICE cars either. The point is Tesla has increased their range yet again. There is no disputing this fact. If peopl

It's a shame that a lot of the antitrust criticisms of google don't focus on Youtube. The fact that youtube is one of the main rivals to wikipedia in results is highly suspicious to me, and should be to antitrust regulators. Of co

First they came for controversial right wing views... then they came for Covid “disinformation”... Putting the joke aside, I really think we are starting to see that once this door opens, it will only get worse. The pressure will increase t

What makes it even worse is that social media companies are now so paranoid about being labelled spreaders of misinformation, they are relying on sources who could easily be wrong about something as well (like in this case). I guess this w

That's not how the law works. If you don't touch it, even if you have the ability to do it, you remain a PLATFORM not a PUBLISHER. Any platform has the ability to modify anything on it. Does that make them tacitly responsible for

That's a really interesting suggestion I haven't seen before. It makes sense from a completely non legal perspective. If you're halfway between a platform and a publisher, as I believe all these platforms are, then a could co

I guess this was inevitable in the end, it must have come to this, but I just find what twitter did so silly. At least if they'd have used some sort of impartial looking fact checker, or an independent panel, or something, as facebook

The trouble is the very first time this happens, they already manage to mess it up. The fact checked article contained errors too. I also think it's truly stupid to use a partisan news organisation as a fact checker. You really can&#x2

I mean, I'm watching Tiger King right now, that's pretty much the same level of entertainment. I don't see the issue with Alex Jones being given 3 hours.

I have to say those 3 hours are some of the best entertainment I've ever seen. It's completely crazy loony stuff, but I was literally laughing out loud. I mean from all the conspiracy theories to asking Eddie Bravo to choke him ou

"Prior to colonisation, most people lived in subsistence economies where they enjoyed access to abundant commons – land, water, forests, livestock and robust systems of sharing and reciprocity. They had little if any money, but then th

As far as I know so far most of the lithium used has been from existing copper mines, where there's a lot of lithium, so that's made pinpointing it and extract it fairly cheap. I remember reading there's 5-10 years worth of l

I would be super interested in how this actually impacts their revenue from ads. How much more does a publisher make from sharing data with 3rd parties? 30%? 50%? 100%?

I think this is very clickbaity. A ponzi scheme is an intentional scheme to defraud. Here at the worst we are talking about badly organised and budgeted government. And there are much larger unfunded liabilities in medicare and medicaid, wh

Correct. But in this Imaginary scenario it will Certainly be more expensive than current amazon. Is that more acceptable, to say the poorest in society, than bad worker conditions?

I am often amazed at how good HN readers are at valuing labour of both workers and executives.

Ok, but then amazons prices will be higher. Taken to the extreme amazon might not exist because it can’t deliver the low prices it has so far. Is that what you want? If you do, that’s fine, that’s a fair enough perspective, but understand t

Ok, so In your opinion amazon is “done”. Game complete. From now on it’s megalomania to grow. This isn’t how the world works. If you don’t develop others will take your place. Amazon is simply the best at this right now. Even so, as consume

I’m not buying into anything but investors are. Amazon isn’t profitable. It’s not to avoid paying tax, it’s to reinvest. And because investors don’t care about profits in amazon it makes bezos the richest man. This doesn’t have anything to

That might well be, but your view of how consumers should behave is not what happens in the real world. A lot of things in the world should be some way you imagine but they’re not. Otherwise amazon (or Walmart) wouldn’t exist, because every

I’m genuinely interested in what people who think of amazon as an evil company think it should do. It hardly ever makes a profit. Any profit it makes is from AWS usually. It is popular because it’s so cheap, which is why people buy there. S

Knowing the pace that Musk dictates I would love to know what else Tesla is working on or what the pipeline is. Perhaps 2-3 years ago legacy car companies could have caught up if they focused their efforts, but I think Tesla is so far ahead

I think you would be surprised. Somehow we've ended up with privately owned and founded rocket companies, which are higher entry in cost than airplanes. Just because in the current situation we can't imagine it being different doe

Theoretically. Practically almost all websites need third party cookies to use any decent analytics platform (most often GA). So the end result is still that 100% of websites need cookie consent.

So how do you store user information then? Like logins? Sessions? Also rely on cookies. Browser fingerprinting? Great - then you've switched one problem for another. This entire EU regulation is a non solution to a not really existing

You may be right, because there are rare cases, but I find it unlikely. Not many human beings go into life aiming to just rip people off and not achieve anything, or aiming to fail at a lot. Especially someone who becomes the CEO of a huge
