thunderstrike··on The Boring Company [video]
This doesn't seem feasible at all. Especially the overview shot of the underground network, like it's all open air. Definitely wouldn't be possible like that under a major city.
thunderstrike··on Ask HN: Help, NY is shutting down our hacker house due to AirBnb Law?
r/legaladvice or see a lawyer.
thunderstrike··on How would you spend a $5k setup budget?

thunderstrike··on Apple shareholders demand more diversity, but the company is fighting back
The title is based on the proposal of one shareholder who seems too concerned about this one topic, when regular shareholders like myself just want exactly what you said:

> running an effective business with the most qualified team possible.

Apple obviously has their own policies and initiatives at work, so let them do their thing.

thunderstrike··on What could happen if you refuse to unlock your phone at the US border?
Social norms have drastically changed, but not to that degree.

No.
thunderstrike··on Microsoft lets you crash drones and robots in its new real world simulator
Woah, this is super cool! Very interested in how they deploy all these drones, keep them updated and maintained, and (if they are) up 24h/day.
thunderstrike··on Someone Created a Startup Just like Mine and Here Is Why That Is Awesome
The fact that you published his data from your service, mainly because of your unhappiness about him working on his own service, is unacceptable.
thunderstrike··on India has banned disposable plastic in Delhi
This is extremely interesting, I wonder what it would take to get this implemented in the United States?
thunderstrike··on India has banned disposable plastic in Delhi
I'm curious to know this as well. It would be cool if they implemented this in the U.S., even if only for the return to dominance of the glass bottle soda.
