    Oh wow. I seriously considered working at comma (the company I believe George Hotz is referencing in that post) once. After reading "[Elon Musk] […] had all the same ideas as me", …

    I played several dozen hours of HELLION with a friend. I wish that game had made it to completion.

    That is incorrect. This is not the only legal way to design this. I own a Volkswagen ID.4, also an EV with electronic door handles. The door handles also function as the mechanical…

    I wish I could opt out. Unfortunately, my company refuses to provide such information except through The Work Number. So, the next time I apply to rent a home, I'd be out of luck w…
