Are they actually untrustworthy or did they just publish some stuff that slightly challenges your world views and so therefore you have to form the belief that they are fake news?

HN is about tech and the current administration heavily changes how US tech is evaluated in the world.

We are allowing this to happen. For so many years corrupt politicians have avoided any consequences so it grows and becomes new normal.

Market manipulation has been the norm for many years because nobody did anything to stop it.

Pardoning criminals is becoming the new normal. Next normal is going to be launching wars to distract public and is going to cost a lot of lives.

I live in Europe and drive a Tesla, so I occasionally chat with other Tesla owners. Many of them make a point of mentioning that they bought their car years ago and probably wouldn’t have made the same choice if they’d known about Musk’s activities in Europe. Some even seem worried about being judged.

I’m fairly certain that the overall decline in interest is mainly due to general economic uncertainty and the phasing out of EV incentives in various countries. But I’m trying to say that it’s clear that Musk’s reputation has taken a hit! ironically among some of the very demographic groups most likely to be Tesla customers.

He is young. At that age, I tried multiple times and failed each time. I did manage to sell one and it earned me good money.

At that age you have plenty of time to pursue many things but you often lack the experience needed to succeed in the B2B market.

You definitely need support from someone with sufficient B2B experience, or you might have better luck focusing on something in the B2C space.

My only advice if he really wants to continue pursuing B2B is to find a partner who can sell the product. Selling is a full-time job on its own.

I love Tesla’s take on buttons. Not the latest one that they have on S and X and I think recent 3 design, but what they have in model Y and older model 3s.

Real buttons for window control, very easy to use and multi purpose knobs on steering wheels, very functional steering stalks, combined with great software, with great user interface, and good hardware to support it.

But for some reason German car makers that were inspired by it ended up with horrible haptic buttons everywhere.

They are and they do kill people and make them suffer! Just nobody will count civilian casualties.

I think they are terrible. Just look at how little inflation has affected society even in most resilient economies and rich countries. Angry and impatient people everywhere, shoplifting and all sort of theft and crime going up.

Sanctions are not designed to directly pressure elites and corrupt leaders. They probably benefit even more because everyone now relies on them to do any foreign business. Average investor can no longer do anything. Therefore, it gives more power to the sanctioned regime.

Sanctions are designed to inflict great suffering on ordinary people in the hope of toppling the government. That's what they do!

Subjective or not, it definitely doesn't make sense to lock them together. If you change one, the other will also change. The fact that it doesn't allow me to have different settings for the mouse and trackpad doesn't make sense to me.

The session thing looks really cool, but when do I need it? I can develop a simple real-time app using socket.io or a service like Pusher.

Why would I choose this instead? That isn't clear to me yet.

If you write a socket.io service that uses broadcast, and then scale up to more than one server, your users will be split between those servers and won’t be broadcast to the other. Jamsocket allows you to generate a unique hostname for each room that ensures that every user is talking to the same server. That server can still use socket.io in addition to Jamsocket; they work at different layers of the stack.

Pusher solves the problem of scaling in a different way, which is by giving you an HTTP endpoint to send events to. It’s better for large broadcast groups (e.g. sending people sports scores) but doesn’t run any compute for you.

I heard from someone in my network that this is becoming a trend.

His theory is that this may have something to do with higher interest rates. Customers delay large bills for as long as they can.

If you don't need to backup regularly, use offline storage and take multiple copies. That's what I do for everything I run at home. But I don't need daily backup. I backup every quarter.
