As mentioned, I had a few teething issues with the Rivian (mostly car noise and a leaky AC) so I was able to try out some other EVs while the truck was in the shop. I'll say that c…

It's really unfortunate that Rivian hasn't scaled. To me, their struggles really show how difficult of an industry it is and how small mistakes can really ruin an otherwise solid s…

Ah yes, I forgot about that. The windshield spontaneously cracking was also something I forgot to mention.

I guess I made that statement partially looking directly at the Cybertruck's actual performance and partially looking at the Cybertruck relative to other offroading vehicles. The r…

I'll say this, I preordered both a Rivian and a Cybertruck when they announced and I purchased the Rivian because it was available roughly 2 years before the Cybertruck even starte…

It's because the article uses a different source than you for total revenue. If you look at the wiki page titled: "List of largest companies in the United States by revenue" [1], i…

Tmobile is $10

If one were to advertise an added smokey flavor, then marketing it as "smokey" or "smoked" (assuming the product was actually smoked) is correct. Just like how 'organic' has a spec…

I've had to deal with my fair share of frivolous lawsuits (the ADA is a well meaning, poorly implemented set of rules). However, in this case, I wouldn't classify Sheehan's work as…

I thought the exact same thing when I saw their second trailer.

Probably in the sense that at a slower speed, op would have been able to avoid the bad driving from the other driver. Assuming that OP was driving at 60kph originally, a 15kph slow…

As some other users have noticed, this particular author's syntax is a bit aggressive. The author of this opinion piece, Edward Ring, is the founder of the California Policy Center…

Yep, in the last few years, there's been quite a lot of movement in the shipping industry to add wind-assist devices to existing/new ships. Michelin [1] is basically doing what you…

For those who didn't take the bit of time to read the case study linked on the homepage of the OP, it answers the obvious question of "well isn't latency a problem?". It's well wri…

Perfect, thanks for the recommendation. Looks like I'll have quite a few videos to watch.

I'm in the market for home backup batteries and was wondering if you could namedrop the mfgs of your batteries if you were satisfied with them.

I wonder if it's possible to automate the offshoring of financial assets with the same structure that the Pandora+Panama papers lay out. Folks who aren't quite "wealthy" but still …

I like this perspective. I think it applies well to many things we collect. I've been collecting fountain pens for more than a decade now and I've observed that new collectors end …

Wait a second, why is the chance of getting shot and killed by the police a per capita statistic. The denominator should be the number of police-initiated encounters. I could only …

FWIW, I use HN to stay connected with and watch people innovate and problem solve. You don't need to know Chinese to watch the video or peruse the code/fusion360 files. The readme …

Been playing go for a while now and this is the first I've heard of goish tactics. What exactly does goish mean?

Sure, early adopter in the Model S, leased for 4 years. I leased because EVs are still evolving in terms of tech and batteries have a finite lifespan (and are a pain to replace). A…

Exactly.

Yeah, that's been my experience as a prospective Tesla Roof customer. For the record, I cancelled my order before this price hike was sent out, but man, Tesla's service and sales p…
