Coming from a higher end Subaru… the Tesla system is a god send. I have complaints with my model Y, but that doesn’t even register (autopilot on the other hand, definitely tops the list).

I’ve never heard a leaf come up in conversation. I know a handful of people with Tesla’s, and have had my dad ask me about them.

I was thinking some startup was a possibility. There’s obviously a ton of money to be made by making something go really fast. “Tesla sky teleport can get you from LA to Portland in 40 minutes.” Just sit in this cylinder as we launch you in

Yeah, that’s my question. I’ll assume someone (whether the US government, Elon Musk, or whoever) was testing a rocket of some sort. Why the hell was it in the same area as a commercial flight? I’ll add another stupid human error to my list

I think the double standards are despicable.

In my experience the "loudmouth" in-person is the same way on a video call. They always get their two cents in, and are sure to jump in regardless of whether or not another person is patiently waiting their turn.

I worked for a small company right out of college and we had some monsters under the bed too. Unfortunately the manager would rather new code written than cleaning up technical debt or resolving risks. So I would have to double my estimates

There are countless people in this thread (which concerns me because I generally think of HN as a pretty highly educated and moral group) who see errors like that at the register and walk away thinking they won a prize.

So you admit openly to stealing, just to put it plainly. You chose to shop somewhere, you chose to use a self checkout, you knew there was an error, and proceeded to leave with things you didn’t pay for. No matter how you justify it to your

I was actually doing research a couple of days ago to support more remote workers for my company and... unfortunately almost all of the research I found was backing co-location. There are degrees of remote work, but it seems that for most t

A really small town near me shut down their main street and built a parking garage in order to make it a more walkable area about a decade ago. Unfortunately, all of the shops there closed up over the years because of a lack of foot traffic

I thought the engineering behind some of that stuff was pretty cool too. Unfortunately, a system that prides itself on handling millions of records a second AND has no version control AND is sold as "no technical skills needed" is

Try customizing your daily briefing. Really nice for a curated news briefing while you’re getting ready in the morning, or making dinner.

Amazon constantly runs “hackathons” with thousands of dollars of prizes to the winners and free echos just for playing. When I did it there were probably a hundred projects that were along the lines of “hi Alexa my name is John” “hi John I

I use the flash briefing thing every day. I suspect most people don’t know about it. I wake up, stumble into the shower and say “Alexa play the news” on the way. By the time I finish brushing my teeth I got my curated news read to me. Prett

The thing I’m missing is location within the house. If I’m in the bedroom I should be able to tell my bedroom Alexa “turn on the lights”, and the same for the kitchen Alexa. Having to repeat the same incantation over and over is frustrating

Uber buying a major cities metro system and making it not shitty would be pretty great. NYC subway is basically what taxis used to be, dirty and hostile toward the user.

And the older middle managers get salty because they had to work for 20 years to make $120k so why should you get it “so young”?

That’s how consulting usually works. You scope out stories and commit to the number of stories in a sprint. Even if you wanted to add more to the sprint you’d just mess up the allocated time of QA and add more stuff for the dev ops team. Th

I would assume a company that size could potentially have at least one person who's full time job (or sizable portion of their job if social was a low priority) was to maintain those pages.

I've wanted to do this but with the Nest cameras I already have in my house. It's too bad that Nest has made the decision to completely discourage anyone using the video from these devices.

If teachers can’t be expected to support their family off their income, why should someone doing something that can be crowd sourced as a side gig? Just because I can make $15 tying peoples shoes doesn’t mean that I’m entitled to support a

I've never paid attention to that personally. I guess I add them in order of most important (who I anticipate getting most value out of the meeting) subconsciously, but I try to keep as few people in To: as I can and put "everyone

Not that you're asking for a code review but a couple things I noticed: - You left your twitter IDs in your code. Not sure if it matters to you or not. - Your buttons probably have some stuff in common (corner radius at least), so cons

Considering almost every human I know uses Reddit in some capacity (technical and non-technical), that's pretty likely.

Anyone have any idea on how this will affect the new Salesforce mobile? They recently unveiled this huge thing where you could rebrand their app and deploy it to app stores through config only. I'm about 50/50 on "this is goi

Although, I'd be hard convinced that people accept the push notification dialog on websites at even 5% of what they do with apps.

Except that you couldn't actually pull this off unless you were a large/powerful company.
