Controversial uninformed opinion: Recycling is a major cause to the Homeless epidemic. Roads, brakes, weight are major causes to pollution. Heavy cars (IE. Super dense lithium, nickel, cobalt) will cause more pollution.

Are you talking about Tacoma/ Ruston Area? I agree with you. Recycling is stupid; weirdly enough it's a major contributor(? Totally not the right word) to homelessness. Secondly, it's allowed to be 'disposed of' int

i've seen this comment a couple times on HN and find it funny. My classes and lectures were mostly about what was not in the book and if you tried to read the book and take the test you'd get around a 50%.

I think you nailed it. However 'Planning for failure' breaks down in a future with economically viable carbon capture. What happens when nations are 'un-aligned' in how much carbon should be in the atmosphere/ the t

Elon and other CEO's in the transportation space owe alot of their success to the Obama administration. Massive loans to a variety of electrical car makers and the privatization of space access in the US.

Tesla canceled Zoom due to these privacy concerns expressed in this article. We use Microsoft Teams now and it's much better. Everyone already used it as an instant messenger before this and since it's part of the Outlook ecosyste

I've often thought of selling my Runescape account and have even posted it before. However, every couple of years I hope on and have a couple of hours of pure joy of reminiscing before not touching it again for a couple years. I would

Some say Hemmingway killed himself over his dispair for introducting the world to the running of the bulls festival. It seemed idyllic, and amazing in his book - Went there in 2014, and it's a bunch of tourist getting absolutely shit f

The solution is clear; ban lobbying. Why are you allowed to fund individuals running for office? That's called bribing, and it's illegal. BigCompanyX literally gives these people money in expectation of regulatory loopholes, and f

The OP has obviously never used Instagram, which for my generation is much more popular than Facebook. Almost every reason listed for Google+'s failure, is a feature of instagrams massive success.

I mean, thats essentially the apple app store right? Just with torrents and documents instead of apps? So like a freely distributed google docs, but for everything. That movie you downloaded a week ago got a better version, the sci-hub arti

There seems to be alot of hate here that blue orgin is not 'shooting high enough'. This will get 'America' back to the moon and this is a great thing! Congrats to Blue Orgin team, and I wish them all the luck.

I'm confused on why people actually care about global warming. That planet is in whats called a 'glacial age' on the historic time table of the earth. Yeah, we are rapidly depleting the ice caps (So what?) Yeah, we are slowly

This was an amazing read. Not only do you sell onions on the internet but you are an amazing writer! I had to stop and comment before I dived into what else you've written. I copied the quote “take the path to Nothing, and go Nowhere u

This is exactly what they are attempting to do with solid-state batteries. Again, the whole point of the article is that Lithium Ion batteries will continue to improve and with the vast economy of scale, will continue to be a cost effective

The only problem I see here is Facebook is offloading the 'hard problem' of algorithmically dealing with such massive data that requires top-notch machine learning algorithms to be able to detect sentiment at 'Facebook level

These comments remind me of how much a bubble hacker news is. None of my friends would know what the hell a neural network was, and would laugh out loud if they heard that comment.

you can make a 1000KWH car, and still be much less efficient than a 250KWH car. Range and speed is what matters not KWH. Aerodynamic, efficiency of enerygy conversion, etc.. comes into play.

Do you believe this would be worth it? Do you think our society does not have sufficiently advances technology to start a self sustaining colony in the desert? I think it would be absolutely trivial, and i'm pretty sure someone has alr

As you have admitted in your post, that there is a none zero chance of humans becoming extinct. Don't you think it would be worth it to have some non-zero portion of the population and global budget working on ensuring our survival? Al
