on: Tesla on track to smash targets after producing almost a million EVs in 6 months
Excuse me if this is a bit forward but who asked? In other words, why do hn commenters go off on tangents to the extent that in some posts you'll find more irrelevant tangents than discussion of the article in the link?

on: US Congress doubles down on claims of illegal UFO retrieval programs
> But you don't have to take my word for it. Please, continue to believe that spaceships from other planets have crashed and some elite division within the US government managed to retrieve them and keep it secret for 50+ years. Look past the failing state of our infrastructure and continue to believe that an alien species capable of interstellar travel is interested specifically in Americans, but "they" are keeping you from knowing the truth!
I don't believe any such thing.

This does not track for me at all. I'm sorry but why would anybody in the DOD have an incentive to "make Americans believe in US military and intelligence superiority"?

- The dark line is on the lane going south.
- Google shows the same areas as road blocks, not traffic.
- This is no where near the Moscow suburbs, as the map clearly shows.
Atrocious tweet.

Obviously true. Traveling while black alone in Sachsen Regionalbahn is a risk.

on: FBI Misused Spy Database, FISA Court Says
That's a mockery of real authoritarian countries, where you most definitely wouldn't have the checks and balances of a court that finds a law enforcement agency misused data and with a free press to publicize that fact.

I've never seen those apps on my machine, very strange. Is this an OEM choice?

Grandchildren and great-grandchildren don't factor in, we'll be close to carbon neutral by then anyway.

I don't understand the implied ethical rule behind this mentality. CO2 emissions are always a problem and to be avoided. What am I missing?

on: Deutschlandticket for regional bus and rail services to be offered for €49/month
45% of people in Germany don't work.
Many with low incomes who do work have access to free or cheap transport tickets as part of social benefits.

What do you mean it's not an option? I already ordered the ticket as a chip card here in Berlin.

Wow. So "the majority of security issues are patched immediately and silently through the play store" seems catastrophically incorrect.

I expect manufacturers not to offer bad options like a 150 € phone with 3 years of updates. Give me a 200€ phone with 5 years? Or a 10€ service fee per year of updates.
