Internal combustion engine -- regular car

Honestly, sounds awesome.

Do y'all really only work M-Th? If so, that's awesome.

Where I'm located I'm billed $.07 per kwh. My model 3 LR has a 75 kw battery, so to charge it from totally empty to totally full would cost $5.25. Tesla's claims are a bit inflated, but I can get 300 miles on a full charge, putting the cost to drive 100 miles at $1.75. Even if we took an extremely generous approximate of 50mpg, it would take 2 gallons for an ICE vehicle to travel 100 miles. Where I'm located, gas is going for $4 a gallon, so it would cost $8.00 to travel the same 100 miles in an ICE vehicle.

If you're charging at home, the EV easily wins.

However, charging away from home can get expensive. During peak hours, it's possible to find charging for $.50 per kwh. Now it would cost $37.50 or $12.50 to drive 100 miles. Compared to the $8.00 in the ICE car, the EV is more expensive.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to claim that most cars cost more to charge than to fill up with gas. If you are able to charge at home, EVs are cheaper to drive per mile.

I don't have the energy to explain to the naysayers why I love tailwind so much but I do have the energy to log back into HN just to comment that I absolutely love tailwind. Give it a try and maybe it'll stick!

sorry for the snarky comment. Did not mean to offend and I take back the rudeness. That said, after doing 10 or so test queries in an incognito browser I still do not understand how the horizontal search results are any different than a vertical search.

The extra information is nice, but looking at stock tickers isn't my primary objective when searching online.

- raise 20M

- spend 10% of it on the domain "you.com"

- denounce "vertical results"

- introduce some real innovation: "horizontal results"

give me a break

The thing about these "drops" is people will liquidate them into real currency as quickly as possible. If the goal is to distribute a currency to as many people as possible (so everyone has a piece of the currency to use) then you have to remove any possible off ramps. But, then you run into the problem of nobody _actually_ being interested in the coin since it has "no real value" (can't trade it for USD)

Thanks everyone, that's what I was thinking as well, but I'm fairly new to startups so I wasn't sure.

I have an offer that vests over 6 years with a 1.5 year cliff. Is that normal? I'm used to 4 years 1 year cliff, but the CEO said that 1.5/6 are common for companies that "want employees who care about the long term"

We used Liveview in a production app but have sense re-written it all in favor of React. The biggest issue with LV was the fact that users with poor connection were experiencing a channel timeout causing the page to completely refresh. This was unacceptable UX, and there was nothing we could do about it. Really a shame, because I was enjoying liveview.

How about the idea that age blocking content and failing to put that trust in our kids is what's detrimental? Reminds me of the all too common tale of a child raised in a helicopter parent household who goes off to college and parties way too hard at their first taste of real freedom.

Circumventing child controls was part of my childhood. I couldn't play runescape until I was "13" but I sure got around that one. Was that bad for me? Seems extremely unlikely.

I agree with the parent comment that this is a pathetic attempt at adults trying every last measure to feel some sort of control over their children.

The author actually included a section on diamond being a poor store of value. The idea that a man is spending wads of cash on an engagement ring for his wife as "insurance" that she is able to leave and sell the ring seems wrong to me.

yes, it's a whole chapter written ironically. I too find this to be misleading.

"At schools like Berkeley, more than half of the students who attempt the intro computer science course will not meet the average grade required to actually declare the major. Without previous experience, it’s incredibly hard to make it on the right side of that curve."

I don't think this is true, and find this wording to be _more_ intimidating to potential CS students, as it gives the false pretense that it is "incredibly difficult" to pass CS classes with no prior experience.
