Will the Tesla handle getting stuck behind a double parked car without your intervention?

I was going to ask "at what point do people who work for Google and Meta ask themselves "Are we the baddies?"" But who am I kidding, as long as you're all making the big bucks for …

I'm going to go with a "lol, Iran doesn't have access to Russian and Chinese state-based and public satellite imagery?" Sure, "this is fine."

I've got a book for you to read... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medium_is_the_message

Got to love the fact that a large amount of users of HN still refuse to see the truth before their very eyes.

What about cobalt? For the largest part of the market, tungsten carbide cutting tools, it's usually a composite of tungsten carbide and cobalt. Thankfully, in most industries that …

Not that I really care, but I've got to ask the question: Is telling people that they can't tell other people which words they use a form of language policing? (In a thread concern…

That Supermicro story was never confirmed/verified. All the companies involved denied that it happened (that doesn't mean much however) but no other reporters were able verify the …

I'm not an international trade lawyer/expert by any means, but this seems like an unfair government subsidy. I guess the WTO won't care though. But since this does seem like a gove…

I agree with the critique on the "socially constructed" part of this article. I'd also add that since it was literally The Times newspaper which created the font, and it was consid…

We need an acronym for these types of boards: Yet Another SBC With Poor Longterm Support. YASBCWPLS. Really rolls off the tongue. Or we should just have "STS" (Short Term Support) …

"re-industrializing the USA" Call me when the party starts. Many of the decisions this administration has made are having the opposite impact. The re-industrialization of the US (w…
