If you wouldn’t have bought it with a ridiculous amount of money if it would ever go down, maybe that’s a hint that prices are, indeed, way too high… Anyways, gold doesn’t go up li…

This is a silly take in my opinion. Something never depreciating against its value is simply bad economics. Things will always appreciate and depreciate. I don’t know who promised …

It can’t even keep its most important members in. European pride will be its downfall. When asked, Americans are Americans first, then whatever state they come from second. Europea…

Stop defaulting to asking for sources or credentials and make your own case for why we should listen to the authors points

This comment conveniently ignores the worlds sole superpower? The US will be more or less fine this winter, and likely sees a crisis like this as an awfully cheap way to get rid of…

Does anybody know why Apple Maps will still show directions when an iPhone is locked (basically turns the wallpaper into the directions), but for Google Maps you have to actually u…

I recall back when AirBnB was growing (circa 2013-2015 in my mind) the appeal was primarily price. Yes, there were conveniences around having an individual place, etc, but I recall…

You’re proving OPs point… they aren’t doing this anymore.

This is fundamentally not how power markets work. You offer to sell the grid power before it is produced - you have this backwards. You sell it to anybody you want (some regulation…

“This is not science” - you keep saying that as if an online forum should be a peer reviewed, etc. thing. It makes you sound childish. You haven’t laid out any coherent points and …

You can’t call out the other guy for not acknowledging your points and then not acknowledge mine. Your points aren’t coherent, so lay them out better if you want people to engage. …

“The true cost of energy of an asset” I work in the energy industry and I think people haven’t engaged your points because they’re completely incoherent without you significantly e…

Can someone tell me why google allows paywalled results?

Thank you! Is it safe to say you want the wires transmitting the power to be cold, ideally, but the battery itself not necessarily so? (Thinking about the electric grid, etc here a…

Can someone explain this? I always thought batteries and electric motors were more efficient in (relatively) colder environments?

False equivalence between BLM and Republicans. They aren’t two sides of the same coin. Further, BLM activists don’t blow up federal buildings (and nurseries) or bring zip-ties and …

And who, exactly, do you suggest take their space? Is there a surplus of quality teachers in the US?

Can you elaborate? The general negative sentiment towards teachers is confusing to me. It seems you trust them enough to take a very major part in raising your child, but not enoug…

This is a dumb, snarky comment that is a good example of why people have been complaining about the quality of HN posts. You defeat your own argument, by the way, by acknowledging …

Appreciate the extra context from both of you. Lots of that makes sense - I’m glad I could get an answer on this. Thanks again. (Regarding the post you linked to, I’m not going to …

Very helpful info on the low quality indicator. I would personally disagree but that’s my opinion and I can see how it would be useful running a forum like this. Any chance HN has …

Only with direct link, you’ll notice it’s suddenly not on any of the first 10 pages despite being one of the most, if not the most, active threads during that time. I can keep clic…

I think “destroying American democracy” can pretty firmly put you in the “bad” camp unless you start doing some odd mental gymnastics. I also think “destroying American democracy” …

There was a positive discussion around Peter T. that was just removed. Can HN advise why it was taken down?

Alright, I grouped in PayPal with software, but point taken. That being said, it makes the simile in my original post line up even more. I also think Ken Griffin is highly intellig…
