It’s not as dire in NYC unless you’re exclusively considering Manhattan. And even in Manhattan it’s relatively “affordable” if you’re willing to live in the 160s+. Significantly le…

The number of people chiming in on this article proclaiming food preferences as "wrong" or "correct" is truly astounding. No, my preferences aren't wrong. No, yours aren't wrong ei…

> Vegetarian here, you're wrong. Legitimately laughing out loud at this response. You're sitting there at your keyboard telling other people that their food preferences are wrong? …

>why would anyone go through the motions to have fake chicken when you have multitudes of vegetarian options Because meat tastes better, and I want it. If I can have that taste wit…

>If the West European allies are not that important then the US should plow ahead, but the consequence will be those countries will look elsewhere for partners. This comment brough…

Let’s see one for wind power, then. OP implies wind is an order of magnitude cheaper.

It crops up because people give these absurdly misleading cost estimates for adding incremental wind power to the grid. You can’t have wind power without spending money on an equiv…

There will always be firearms. You can make them illegal but you can't make them stop existing. This is the fundamental problem with these types of suggestions. Switch to bow, it's…

> What needs to be done is not to eliminate those actors, but rather to make our bodies resilient to potentiel pathogens. If we expose ourselves to these pathogens and wait a few t…

This seemed so absurdly impossible that I had to look it up. I went to Edmunds and sure enough the 5-year TCO for a 2022 LR Model 3 is $115k. The 5-year TCO for a 2022 LE AWD Prius…

There are better competitors entering the market, but none can really compare to a Model S. The upcoming Hyundia Ionic 6 will likely be the industry leader, but it hasn't released …

What a hilarious and asinine way to torpedo your own brand. It seems that Mercedes and BMW want to be known as the "Spirit Airlines of electric cars." ...except at least Spirit Air…

He did. He directly said it was a hack in an interview with Vox. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23462333/sam-bankman-frie...

Sure, but that’s just handwaving away the question. He made an effort to reach out to a journalist and reinforced the hack narrative.

SBF publicly lied about this and called it a hack. If it was all aboveboard why would he have done that?

Pardon my ignorance, but why would used car prices necessarily impact a used car dealer? Surely these dealers have to pay more to buy these cars and so their margins should be unch…

Granny Smith is a trash tier Apple. The skin is inedible and it is absurdly sour. It's only edible if you peel the skin, cut it up, ...and bake it in something else. Alternatively …

I don't know why the CPSC has singled out Onewheel. If they're going to try and regulate this new class of mobility they need to do better than phoning it in. This feels just as ra…

House price to media income ratio has breached 7x twice in the last 70 years in the US. The first was the 2008 housing bubble. The second is the time period we’re in right now. Mak…

We will need many scientific breakthroughs for battery to be viable for non-personal transportation. Then there’s industry, construction, agriculture, etc. These areas of the econo…

Passenger vehicles account for about 16% of greenhouse gas emissions. Electric power is another 25%. The rest is industry, commercial & residential, agriculture, and other forms of…

NYC spent $2.4 billion to extend one subway line 1.5 miles. I’m only jokingly suggesting this, but that’s enough to buy about 5 million electric scooters in a city of 8.5 million p…

The stock has recovered 60% of the maybe-Twitter-related losses. The stock lost 5% of its value on November 11th, and recovered 60% of that to date which means the maybe-Twitter-re…

Rivian has produced about 14,000 cards YTD and they seem to be on-pace for annualized production of 25,000 cars. That's not an overall impressive number, but getting a car company …

>But it is difficult to "print" more cryptocurrency. Except it's not. It's trivially easy. Any exchange (or person/entity) can mint a coin, and FTX collapsed in-part because they w…
