That isn't surprising for most people. It is also hard to say without knowing which year and model Porsche she was driving. Someone with a Cayenne Turbo GT will have a different ex…

I mean this turn of speech makes it easier to identify hunan (carbon) or machine (silicon) content. Took me a bit to figure it out too

Damn, what a turn of opportunities from just saying yes and showing up (and obviously a ton of hardwork and sacrifices). Thanks for sharing! I can't resist ... > There were other d…

It doesn't have to be an argument. You know what each system is good at and prioritize inputs accordingly.

1. Life isn't fair. The earlier you accept that, the better off you'll be. This unfairness is why you're here posting on hackernews and someone through no fault of theirs is starvi…

Part of it is how many of these companies handle performance. If you're more likely to get a good rating by building a complex system, you might as well do it and take the money.

Why did you get rid of the ioniq 5 then?

These depend heavily on car. What kind of car is this? The decision to have an annoying beep instead of a soft ding or pop up is stupid but many cars do this. Mine handles seatbelt…

(You already know this but for the general audience) The train doesn't make you immune to malaria but it does increase resistance after infection.

Apple has taught us time and time again that you rarely have to be first to the market. Executing well and keeping people locked in are pretty important
