As mentioned, I had a few teething issues with the Rivian (mostly car noise and a leaky AC) so I was able to try out some other EVs while the truck was in the shop. I'll say that companies like Hyundai, Ford, and Mercedes have really c

It's really unfortunate that Rivian hasn't scaled. To me, their struggles really show how difficult of an industry it is and how small mistakes can really ruin an otherwise solid showing. Gotta give kudos to Elon for dragging Tesl

Ah yes, I forgot about that. The windshield spontaneously cracking was also something I forgot to mention.

I guess I made that statement partially looking directly at the Cybertruck's actual performance and partially looking at the Cybertruck relative to other offroading vehicles. The reality of the situation for the Cybertruck is that it&#

I'll say this, I preordered both a Rivian and a Cybertruck when they announced and I purchased the Rivian because it was available roughly 2 years before the Cybertruck even started deliveries. I've had some small teething problem

It's because the article uses a different source than you for total revenue. If you look at the wiki page titled: "List of largest companies in the United States by revenue" [1], it lists Centene as 22nd with a slightly outda

If one were to advertise an added smokey flavor, then marketing it as "smokey" or "smoked" (assuming the product was actually smoked) is correct. Just like how 'organic' has a specific definition, a 'smoke

I've had to deal with my fair share of frivolous lawsuits (the ADA is a well meaning, poorly implemented set of rules). However, in this case, I wouldn't classify Sheehan's work as being parasitic. Companies are obviously bei

Probably in the sense that at a slower speed, op would have been able to avoid the bad driving from the other driver. Assuming that OP was driving at 60kph originally, a 15kph slower speed equates to a roughly 0.75 extra seconds of reaction

As some other users have noticed, this particular author's syntax is a bit aggressive. The author of this opinion piece, Edward Ring, is the founder of the California Policy Center; according to Wikipedia, the CPC is a "conservati

Yep, in the last few years, there's been quite a lot of movement in the shipping industry to add wind-assist devices to existing/new ships. Michelin [1] is basically doing what you suggest. Maersk and Cargill [2] are also working

For those who didn't take the bit of time to read the case study linked on the homepage of the OP, it answers the obvious question of "well isn't latency a problem?". It's well written and lays out some neat ideas.

Perfect, thanks for the recommendation. Looks like I'll have quite a few videos to watch.

I'm in the market for home backup batteries and was wondering if you could namedrop the mfgs of your batteries if you were satisfied with them.

I wonder if it's possible to automate the offshoring of financial assets with the same structure that the Pandora+Panama papers lay out. Folks who aren't quite "wealthy" but still have wealth they'd like to shelter

I like this perspective. I think it applies well to many things we collect. I've been collecting fountain pens for more than a decade now and I've observed that new collectors end up buying their "trophy" pen only to hav

Wait a second, why is the chance of getting shot and killed by the police a per capita statistic. The denominator should be the number of police-initiated encounters. I could only find 2018 data, but it's likely in the same ballpark. [

FWIW, I use HN to stay connected with and watch people innovate and problem solve. You don't need to know Chinese to watch the video or peruse the code/fusion360 files. The readme is parsed easily with google translate: >Inside

Sure, early adopter in the Model S, leased for 4 years. I leased because EVs are still evolving in terms of tech and batteries have a finite lifespan (and are a pain to replace). Actually went back to my 2009 diesel car when the lease expir

Yeah, that's been my experience as a prospective Tesla Roof customer. For the record, I cancelled my order before this price hike was sent out, but man, Tesla's service and sales process is probably one of the worst experiences I&

Oh certainly -- like I said, there are plenty of pieces of propaganda I disagree with WRT the Chinese govt and its justifications for actions. As to the OP's unasked question as to if the world would prefer living under Chinese suprema

Sure, happy to provide the contra. Not everything I write below is something I necessarily believe to be true, but it should be generally representative of the beliefs from the opposite position. China as a nation and as a group of people h

That's awesome! Line rider reminds me of a past internet where things were a bit more creative and joyful. I'm so glad to see that people like you are still spreading that love of the creation.
