I appreciate the authors thoughtful review here, but I can’t help but be frustrated by the constant lack of understanding of the core value proposition of framework both in this post and in many comments here on hn.…
> Foreign countries have no obligation to admit you within their borders. This is obviously a general statement about any nation, comparing the US to its peers. In the context of the conversation it is clearly an…
Most buses are diesel, and are transitioning to either battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell. Almost no fleets in the US are running majority CNG.
I see your concern, and taking what you’re asserting here as a given for the purposes of this conversation, I’d agree it needs to be addressed. However, it should be addressed at the corporate level, not by targeting…
I must confess that these specific stories are outside my domain of knowledge that I can’t comfortably comment on them specifically. My understanding is that it is fairly common practice for foreign companies to send…
I would pose that question back to you, if it isn’t measurable, how are you certain that it is affecting the bottom line?
> Since these departments do not directly drive profits, there's no visible bottom line to make meaningful observations on. “Bottom line” is a reference to costs, it doesn’t matter whether a department is a profit…
That’s a joint venture with two American manufacturers (and Daimler trucks North America itself was an American company it bought out), it’s not a realistic comparison.
As a former R studio user and current VS code user, I downloaded this… then I realized there’s no WSL support and realized it’ll have to wait. For reference I’m on a small Data Eng/analyst team.
You can get an ounce of weed for $20 in Oregon right now. For reference, that will get you and your friends absolutely blasted for way more than a single evening.
Apply that reasoning to ICE, it’s not like Toyota/Honda are giving 20 year warranties for their drivetrains. 8 years is standard and implies a substantially longer expected lifetime of the vehicle on average.
If causality were transitive the phrase “correlation doesn’t equal causation” wouldn’t exist
The challenge is that it’s very unlikely that race/socioeconomic factors are causal in and of themselves, the reason why you would adjust for those variables is because they are tightly correlated with other causal…
Mass transit is wildly unprofitable. Anyone with industry experience would tell you your statement is wildly off the mark, beyond perhaps employees desiring a livable wage. Literally everyone in public transportation…
The way I’d read that take is that being a “good” VC is about having enough money to spread around and enough networking connections to generate the right leads. After that pretty much any idiot can do the job. Tldr AI…

The amount of money we are talking about for research is so small in comparison to the debt that it’s a red herring to even bring up the current debt level. As you’ve noted, even the largest parts of the budget are…
Sub out “who hates hiking trails?” and sub in “who hates having popular government programs?” Answer: people who don’t want constituents to believe that the government can be effective and deliver good services. That’s…

The conversation I engaged with was about people who are following the law. You are arguing against a point I never made here. I’d ask you what the point of having laws is if we are going to detain and deport people…
The only option is to pursue draconian “enforcement” on people who enter through ports of entry following the established legal process? Let’s not kid ourselves here, it’s not nor has it ever been about “illegal”…

When you don’t have a driver anymore you quickly run into an issue with keeping the vehicle clean. One time having a drunken stranger puke in your car while you’re not using it will be enough for a lot of people to…
US manufacturers absolutely make electric busses, but when you’re talking about global trends/capabilities in the market, you have to keep in mind that the core competency of most suppliers on the US market is still…
It’s a bit of a hot take, but not wildly outlandish either. Pandas supports so many use cases and is still more feature rich than polars. But you always have the polars.DataFrame.to_pandas() function in your back pocket…
