Toyota, along with most Japanese car manufacturers, are betting big on hydrogen cars. They still invest in electric cars, but their main focus is on hydrogen-fueled cars. So I doubt they'll be buying TSLA. Here is a good article on the

So now Trump has both assange and manning in prison? Funny how the entire media has been soft on Trump on this matter. You would think "journalists" at CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes, WaPo, etc would be going crazy over Trump's attack o

Why should anyone love their job? You should love your family and friends, not your job. I guess it'll be ideal if you could enjoy your job, but it's insane to love it. Besides, most people have a job to survive and eventually ret

Why are you using the internet or living in the first world then? Instead of talking a good game, why not do something yourself? If you really believed the nonsense you are saying. Ah, the "unavoidable collapse". I used to think l

They are formidable platforms for sure, but you aren't claiming any territory with 1600 marines against a major country with millions of troops like china. 1600 marines could hold territory against a bunch of ill-equipped and unorganiz

Just like congress likes pensions, government healthcare and yearly raises ( voted on by congress conveniently enough ) for themselves but not for ordinary folks. It's strange how the elites want the best for themselves but not for the

As with everything, there will be winners and losers. If predictions hold, the northern hemisphere is going to be the big winner as the northern hemisphere ( primarily siberia, alaska and much of canada ) hold significant amount of inaccess

You have to look at it from a statistical point of view. The homosexual population is insignificantly small in a statistical sense. A small percentage increase in homosexuality in either sex isn't going to skew the data much. Also, eve

Sex, food and shelter are necessary conditions for an "awesome life" for most people. You could argue they aren't sufficient and you need more ( like spirituality, community, etc ), but it's disingenuous to dismiss it as

The UK does it and the media spins it as "penalizing social media for harmful online content". China does it and the same media spins it as "oppressing, tyrannizing and controlling the people". Just like when germany pas

In the early 2000s, extreme violence was indexed on search engines. You just had to actively search for it. The fact that you had to "deep dive" shows that you have to actively search for it so there goes your argument for more re

Jason Schreier has never worked as developer or in the gaming industry. It's insane how so many people give these people so much credence and attention. The guy literally doesn't know what he is a talking about. Also 3d artists an

I thought everyone knew this already. And its been true for decades. When I was a CS major, everyone told me not to go into game development because you worked the most for the least amount of pay. Not sure why why this is so high up here.

Welcome to NYC. There is construction every other block. And that's not even considering things like the 2nd Ave line construction which creates noise pollution for years on end. Is this news because wealthy people are affected? I wond

There are plenty of arguments against the "babies are less conscious than ravens" position. One of the most prominent being "Future like ours" and "thread of life" argument. A human baby may be less conscious t

Americans agree politics is divisive. Americans agree news is divisive. Americans agree sports is divisive. But we all still consume it. I don't get the point of the article. People are divisive. Water is wet and anything having to do

This story is at least 10 years late. E-Sports has been like this for a very long time. E-Sport athletes have been training physically for a while now. Not sure why the nytimes is trying to play it off like it is a recent phenomenon.

This is simply not true. Everyone in the US knows about Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc. They are culturally significant institutions. So much so that people use "MIT" as a stand in for "excellence". "MIT of X". "

That's interesting but I guess expected since a major component of success is access to power and capital. I remember reading something a while back that a significant portion of the post-war japanese and german economy, industry and g

"Always look on the bright side of life..." But my favorite scene is the "Romanes Eunt Domus" scene. The Life of Brian should be mandatory viewing. Such a masterpiece.

It does sound comical. Maybe the chinese are getting desperate after the huawei exec got arrested? Or maybe it's just a "setup" to apply pressure on china before the next round of trade talks. Usually espionage/intel re

You could argue that the internet itself is the greatest library we've ever had and over the past decade, the internet has been slowly destroyed. The saddest part is that it isn't the luddites or religious fundamentalists behind t

That's a good point. But a 2.5X increase in house sizes doesn't account for the 100X rise in house prices. If a house cost $2000 in 1950, it probably costs $200K now. It can't all be due to increase in house size. The biggest

The congress of vienna didn't set up a world order. It was a european ( great powers ) "arrangement" at best localized to europe. Claiming that set up a world order is like saying the creation of the EU set up a world order.

There was no international order before ww2. Besides, the US was easily the largest economy and arguably the greatest naval power ( matching the british empire ) for decades before ww2. The pre-ww2 era was an era of major powers ( US, briti

The "international" world order isn't international. It's american. It's called the american world order ( or pax americana ). Of course we support the "international" world order more than china or russia
