If you wouldn’t have bought it with a ridiculous amount of money if it would ever go down, maybe that’s a hint that prices are, indeed, way too high… Anyways, gold doesn’t go up like you think it does (I recall it spent the better part of a

This is a silly take in my opinion. Something never depreciating against its value is simply bad economics. Things will always appreciate and depreciate. I don’t know who promised you this, but it sounds like you got sold a bridge in Brookl

It can’t even keep its most important members in. European pride will be its downfall. When asked, Americans are Americans first, then whatever state they come from second. Europeans are whatever state they come from first, European second.

This comment conveniently ignores the worlds sole superpower? The US will be more or less fine this winter, and likely sees a crisis like this as an awfully cheap way to get rid of one of its only real military competitors.

Does anybody know why Apple Maps will still show directions when an iPhone is locked (basically turns the wallpaper into the directions), but for Google Maps you have to actually unlock the phone? Isn’t this dangerous?

You’re proving OPs point… they aren’t doing this anymore.

This is fundamentally not how power markets work. You offer to sell the grid power before it is produced - you have this backwards. You sell it to anybody you want (some regulations aside). The grid operator makes it available to anybody wh

“This is not science” - you keep saying that as if an online forum should be a peer reviewed, etc. thing. It makes you sound childish. You haven’t laid out any coherent points and continue not to.

You can’t call out the other guy for not acknowledging your points and then not acknowledge mine. Your points aren’t coherent, so lay them out better if you want people to engage. They other person isn’t malicious, they just don’t see you a

“The true cost of energy of an asset” I work in the energy industry and I think people haven’t engaged your points because they’re completely incoherent without you significantly expanding upon them. Respectfully, the way you’ve phrased you

Can someone tell me why google allows paywalled results?

Thank you! Is it safe to say you want the wires transmitting the power to be cold, ideally, but the battery itself not necessarily so? (Thinking about the electric grid, etc here as well.)

Can someone explain this? I always thought batteries and electric motors were more efficient in (relatively) colder environments?

False equivalence between BLM and Republicans. They aren’t two sides of the same coin. Further, BLM activists don’t blow up federal buildings (and nurseries) or bring zip-ties and gallows to their riots trying to overthrow the government. Y

And who, exactly, do you suggest take their space? Is there a surplus of quality teachers in the US?
18.
by anon9384929 5y ago
Can you elaborate? The general negative sentiment towards teachers is confusing to me. It seems you trust them enough to take a very major part in raising your child, but not enough to make a decision about what’s best? I’d like you to elab

This is a dumb, snarky comment that is a good example of why people have been complaining about the quality of HN posts. You defeat your own argument, by the way, by acknowledging that they did clear the roads without the need for back door

Appreciate the extra context from both of you. Lots of that makes sense - I’m glad I could get an answer on this. Thanks again. (Regarding the post you linked to, I’m not going to dispute whatever’s going on in that thread, but I’ve had mul

Very helpful info on the low quality indicator. I would personally disagree but that’s my opinion and I can see how it would be useful running a forum like this. Any chance HN has made public any additional detail on forum behavior like tha

Only with direct link, you’ll notice it’s suddenly not on any of the first 10 pages despite being one of the most, if not the most, active threads during that time. I can keep clicking to see if it’s on the 20th or something, but if that’s

I think “destroying American democracy” can pretty firmly put you in the “bad” camp unless you start doing some odd mental gymnastics. I also think “destroying American democracy” is by definition unconstitutional, simply by what the “un-“

Alright, I grouped in PayPal with software, but point taken. That being said, it makes the simile in my original post line up even more. I also think Ken Griffin is highly intelligent, I just don’t think either of them are the political exp

You’re taking a utilitarian and relativistic view on this, which feels disingenuous in this context. He is already backing people who {support, condone, downplay} violence that has already happened. I don’t find it debating on good faith to

The Libertarian platform literally has a section saying, “Libertarians advocate individual privacy and government transparency.” I am not sure where you got the confidence that it does not mean this, can you elaborate?

I’ve edited this to remove the snark from my initial post where I mentioned something about being much closer to the people in question than you might guess, trying to keep conversation high quality. What do you recommend I research?

I mean, first of all, Trump himself??? Blake Masters? Kris Kobach? My claim is exactly what I stated. These people, including Thiel, support politicians who support, condone, or downplay violence that has already happened. Whether you reali

I think to the posters point, his words and actions don’t line up. If he wants a less violent future, he shouldn’t bankroll those advocating for, condoning, or downplaying violence such as zip ties and gallows at the Capitol.
