In 2012ish the New York times drove a model s in circles in a parking lot and then wrote that the battery had mysteriously depleted the next morning. It was for their review of the…

If the other Western countries have grievences, then their trade policy will reflect those grievances even if there is no 'bloc?' and the result of all those countries implementing…

Wow, how refreshing. An objective relation on the trade tensions between the US and China. I am very disappointed by NPRs marketplace -- their correspondence is essentially like li…

A lot of people say that this is an illusion of some kind -- not a serious effort to replace Android. I don't get it because Android sucks and even if this were an engineer retenti…

This video does not follow guidelines. I have been coming to hackernews for 6 years and I have never seen a bubble-gum pop YouTuber appear so close to the front page. Why was the J…

I saw skyscraper with "the rock" and it was absolutely perfect. It completely blew my low expectations out of the water. Sometimes you really acjt judge a book by its cover

I've heard some people put forward the idea that something happens to light over long distances and that there is no dark matter. Wish I knew enough physics to have an opinion.

I have worked in factories and I can confirm that the people claiming safety violations in the factory (in the Reddit link) are completely biased. It's a complete hack job and I do…

In general dissenting from the dominant narrative will always make you unpopular. Just don't worry about it. It takes a special personality to just be satisfied with being right ev…

Doesn't it leave you shaky? I had similar results but the comedown and the tolerance were deal-breakers. I am completely absent minded but when I take those stimulants it allows me…

This reminds me of jackass and skating. There used to be a huge following for jackass stunts and skating culture. I was a part of that following and I loved it. Looking back I am c…

Can't come up with a substantive response so you mention it might be libel? An event that happens thousands of times per day on the internet unnoticed. It just reveals your emotion…

You're from the UK so it must have hit close to home for you when he called a British ex-pat a pedo. You guys probably have one of the most backwards cultures when it comes to the …

I would need a spource. What's next dude? The Gates foundation is all a PR stunt?

He responded to rudeness with rudeness. He spent money and suffered a PR black eye in an effort to help and this guy went on CNN and told Elon to shove the submarine up his ass. Th…

You are confusing yourself. I never spoke about who the most qualified person was for any task whatsoever. That has nothing to do with anything because I don't really think it's in…

How would it go down if you told people to shove submarines up their asses?

Actually this rescue was unprecedented from what I've read.

How is any of that relevant when the task has never been done before and there is a deadline? They iterated as much as they could given the deadline, past which the kids would die …

This is not even indirectly a refutation of what I said. It has nothing to do with what I said. See my comment below.

The product of a group of people is a function of the characteristics of the people. This is just a simple fact. Some people confuse themselves by pointing to education as a contra…

There are many small countries that have experienced similar abundance and not done well. Size has absolutely nothing to do with it at all.

The success of Norway lies with the intelligence of of it's population. People attribute it to this or that, some institution or policy. But in reality policies and institutions ar…

I used to post rants about how I wanted a laptop that only focused about battery life, crispy graphics and Linux friendliness. Now I find myself wishing I could buy a laptop withou…
