I appreciate the authors thoughtful review here, but I can’t help but be frustrated by the constant lack of understanding of the core value proposition of framework both in this post and in many comments here on hn. Frequently the author br

> Foreign countries have no obligation to admit you within their borders. This is obviously a general statement about any nation, comparing the US to its peers. In the context of the conversation it is clearly an argument that “we don’t

Most buses are diesel, and are transitioning to either battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell. Almost no fleets in the US are running majority CNG.

I’m well aware of the fact that these types of issues have been a part of the system for a long time, nowhere in my string of comments did I indicate that this was an issue of one administration nor one party, I was simply commenting on the

I see your concern, and taking what you’re asserting here as a given for the purposes of this conversation, I’d agree it needs to be addressed. However, it should be addressed at the corporate level, not by targeting the individual workers.

I must confess that these specific stories are outside my domain of knowledge that I can’t comfortably comment on them specifically. My understanding is that it is fairly common practice for foreign companies to send experts from their home

Upgrading the main board is the last thing on my list for considering framework. Being able to easily make small swaps like ports/batteries/RAM/etc is a much bigger value prop, along with supporting the growth of an ecosystem

I would pose that question back to you, if it isn’t measurable, how are you certain that it is affecting the bottom line?

That’s a joint venture with two American manufacturers (and Daimler trucks North America itself was an American company it bought out), it’s not a realistic comparison.

As a former R studio user and current VS code user, I downloaded this… then I realized there’s no WSL support and realized it’ll have to wait. For reference I’m on a small Data Eng/analyst team.

Apply that reasoning to ICE, it’s not like Toyota/Honda are giving 20 year warranties for their drivetrains. 8 years is standard and implies a substantially longer expected lifetime of the vehicle on average.

A lot of discussion in this thread about the technical meaning of “autopilot” and its capabilities vs FSD. This is really missing the point. Tesla could have called it “unicorn mode” and the result would still be the same. The true issue at

The quote is typically brought up when there isn’t a direct causal relationship between two variables, not when the causality is reversed. e.g. ice cream sales and drownings. In both cases heat drives behavior, but neither cause each other.

If causality were transitive the phrase “correlation doesn’t equal causation” wouldn’t exist

by comte7092 1y ago
The challenge is that it’s very unlikely that race/socioeconomic factors are causal in and of themselves, the reason why you would adjust for those variables is because they are tightly correlated with other causal factors that aren’

What does that project have to do with buses? Have you actually looked at the cost breakdown of California HSR? This isn’t all going to contractors but to land acquisition, feasibility studies, parts and materials, etc etc. I also don’t kno

Mass transit is wildly unprofitable. Anyone with industry experience would tell you your statement is wildly off the mark, beyond perhaps employees desiring a livable wage. Literally everyone in public transportation cares about prices, cus

The way I’d read that take is that being a “good” VC is about having enough money to spread around and enough networking connections to generate the right leads. After that pretty much any idiot can do the job. Tldr AI can replace labor but

The amount of money we are talking about for research is so small in comparison to the debt that it’s a red herring to even bring up the current debt level. As you’ve noted, even the largest parts of the budget are dwarfed by the total defi
