Well maybe this is different in the US but in Europe electric cars are easily 20% heavier than similar models. The traction idea is not absurd. Tesla owners claim the tires last ar…

And it is estimated world population will grow to 11 billion max.

Your comment is absolutely unhelpful. What is your point? Should we kill everybody over 70 years old? Because: there is no overpopulation, and if there was it is not caused by too …

I guess I will be downvoted for this but it always amazed me that so many people in HN are religious when it comes to mindfulness, Buddhism and meditation. There is no scientific p…

The same is true for digital audio. We are so used to see the visual presentation of samples that look like a bar diagram, that a lot of people think analog sounds better because t…

I have a comment in this thread about stress that might help you. About anxiety: talk to a psychologist and keep doing things you like.

Your stress is the result of responsibilities or the feeling of responsibilities you can't control. First step is to figure pout what you feel you are responsible for but are not. …

Some time ago I had a long period of intense stress. It is amazing how much it changes your mind and body. Muscles contract causing all kinds of insuline problems, your hormones be…

What is now also known, and not very clear from the article, is that sipping water throughout the day is not very good. As the article is pointing out, a lot is happening when you …

It is most likely made of welded titanium particles as others point out. Imagine a thin layer of titanium dust. Then shine a laser on the points where you want to weld. When done, …

Dell computers are very easy to open. Desktops even don't need screws. Laptops might have some screws but that's about it. That is also how they keep repair costs low. I always thi…

With Dell I got the same experience. My power supply stopped working. Next day they came to my office and replaced the power supply and main board as well, just to be in case.

The first comment is about the constant Tau. I never heard of Tau so I had to look it up and came across this: "pi is a confusing and unnatural choice for the circle constant." So …

In the Netherlands this also happened some times on webshops. And everytime a judge ruled people had to bring the goods back or should pay the full amount. The reason is that it is…

I even believe in ten years the world will be completely different. When a country like India lacks drinking water a huge mass of people will be on the move. In Europe food product…

Might this be a memory issue? I run it on Xubuntu and noticed it sometimes uses all my 8GB RAM so the PC starts swapping.

The game is most about traffic management. This is not very surprising because the company behind it was focused on traffic games. I like the game a lot. But to be fair: you must d…
