But luckily for him Chris Rock understood and didn't press charges.

Why not C#?

Musk is killing Tesla more effectively than China is so America's still ahead!

Every country purchasing US weapons systems will need to evaluate if those systems can be considered trustworthy and reliable, especially given that the US is now a Russian ally.

If the weapons cannot be maintained without US involvement, if the purchaser doesn't have control of the software stack, or if the weapons are severely degraded without access to US infrastructure then they are not reliable.

Yes. Musk has been making excuses for Hitler:

All Musk has done is damage Tesla sales.

It turns out fascist salutes don't help you sell cars.

Sure. No government waste there.

DOGE is supposed to be reducing the national debt. Spending money on Mars missions won't reduce the debt.

> The article frames Iran’s actions as repressive

In what way is the government monitoring and controlling what people wear not repressive?

You don't think transparency is better? Let's try it and see the result.

Will dang try it?

I don't have to convince other people. dang says, "as long as I'm in charge of HN, we won't go there".

dang is simply repeating "my way is better".

What, I shouldn't publicly comment on the regime?

Why? Will dang send his goons after me?

They discovered the eggs hidden in a shipment of cocaine.

Well, has anyone from Volkswagen done fascist salutes at a political rally lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smQNNo2a9xc

And was anyone from Volkswagen making excuses for Hitler yesterday: https://meidasnews.com/news/elon-musk-retweet-hitler-didnt-m...

Just yesterday Musk was making excuses for Hitler:

All brands have been able to use Tesla chargers in Europe for years now. Tesla is just one charging network operator out of many.

Delphi does default initialize global variables and member variables of objects. It doesn't default initialize local variables (but it should for consistency).

Inline variable declaration with initialization makes it a bit nicer. You can write:

  var myVar := 25;

To initialize myVar and type inference will make it an Integer. You can specify type if needed:

  var myVar : Integer := 25;

In their examples they say:

  ShowMessage('obj2.n2: ' + IntToStr(obj2.n2)); // Shows 0 - uninitialized memory

But actually n2 is initialized to zero.

And in the example freeing of objects, instead of using:

  obj1.Free;

They should always use:

  FreeAndNil(obj1);

That will free the object and set the object pointer to nil. Any subsequent attempt to access obj1 will result in an access violation.

I guess it's just too bad that Y Combinator is busy doing political lobbying:

Maybe you should move Hacker News off the Y Combinator domain. Establish more independence.

It's less about stopping and more about how often you have to charge the car. If more cars have to charge more frequently with a longer charge time, then more fast charging infrastructure needs to be built out.

Larger vehicles (buses, trucks) need more battery. Towing requires more battery.

Fewer stops out of the necessity to charge is a good thing.

It's important to understand who and what he is.

Too many people are unwillingly to see and would much rather look the other way.

There are no limitations to simply being upfront and Hacker News can aspire to be better. It doesn't matter how other forums work.

As I've said, if the capabilities of a user's account are deliberately reduced then report that to the user on their account page. That's being upfront as opposed to being secretive and squirrelly and dodging responsibility.

No, you're just evading responsibility which, unfortunately, is typical of the tech sector these days.

Dude, you're leaving people guessing. That's no good. That is not nice "informality".

But you're not willing to be upfront by including that information on the user's account.

That's opaque.

You're not seeing everything he does. For example, he removes capabilities from people's accounts and he can't remember why he did it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42917749

He says he likes things to be "informal" by which he really means "opaque".

No, he thinks things don't matter because no one will remember them. He's wrong.

Nah, he's become a cynic. dang thinks Hacker News is a "swamp of amnesia". It's not a great attitude.

It's got nothing to do with how I feel.

Another little challenge coming up for you is if (and probably when) the Insurrection Act is invoked. A report into the possibility of using the Insurrection Act was ordered on Inauguration Day, due within 90 days.

Why 90 days? Because 90 days from January 20 is April 20. 420. A completely hilarious marijuana joke and also Hitler's birthday, both of which Musk finds to be immensely funny.

uBlock Origin always worked best in Firefox anyhow:

Classy, professional governance.

America sure is intent on turning the American government into a joke.
