You're mixing different problems and clearly have no experience driving or owning EVs.

You can't charge them within five minutes like you would load up a traditional car.

Nothing to do with reliability.

Battery starts to lose range. Even more so in extreme temperatures.

Yes, you lose ~20% of range if it's snowing or very cold. Is this a reliability issue?

Battery replacement is super expensive. In that amount you can get your engine rebuilt multiple times over.

It is very expensive, but batteries are not failing. Again, we now have 10-15 year old cars on the road without battery problems.

If you're referring to what happen to companies like Hertz, then according to them the problem wasn't reliability.

The cars had more accidents, probably because some were not used to the speed or would get an EV just to test the speed. Why buy Tesla in that case then, when their repairs are known to be super expensive and slow? Then you had people who are not used to EVs and charging trying to use EVs and the companies themselves didn't build the charging infrastructure so customers left with a full battery, but that has nothing to do with reliability. Vehicle depreciation? Again, a Tesla problem because they sold them the cars at a high price before dropping prices (the covid years were very weird).

So again, what makes EVs unreliable? It's a simple question.

Is it much worse than having an engine there?

an end product that isn't even reliable let alone having a long life

What's unreliable on a modern EV? And what do you mean by "long life", because you now have 10-15 year old EVs that are fine.

Obviously some cars aged poorly, like some Tesla which had poor build quality (not an EV problem, but a company problem) or cars like the Nissan Leaf that didn't have battery cooling for years, but what's exactly unreliable on a modern Polestar or a Hyundai?

The job numbers that he doesn't like? They're from the first few months he was in office.

Trump said: "Christians, get out and vote, just this time. "You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."

I don't know if Matrix is "safe" or not, but I usually avoid companies that attack companies like this. Not a good look in my view.

It's funny that you ask that because around 10 years ago, there was this investment stuff going around in my community. No one warned me about the dangers and those who tried to convince me to join only said good things about it, but I looked at it and it looked weird. It was a pyramid scheme. So I didn't join, didn't lose any money or lose any friendships over it.

If I come here and tell you that I'm going to reduce expenses and debt while reducing taxes and also investing massive amounts of money to improve the military, healthcare, etc, something should go off in your head because it doesn't add up.

Voting for someone promising unrealistic things is no different from going into a dark alley in what you know is a rough neighborhood. A victim is still a victim, but grown ups must own up to their actions... and there's no other way of saying this: what you did was fucking dumb. It's even dumber if you do the same dumb thing twice.

If many around me warn me about the Nigerian prince scam and I fall for it, then I think I deserve some of the pain. Sure, I'm still a victim, but personally I'd be questioning my intelligence and would try to see where I had failed so it doesn't happen again.

I can tell you that technically Hugo has to be somewhere you control to generate a website, but I don't see the point in that discussion.

The list I can see on the site seems to be of tools you can self host or can help you create something that you can self host. That's it. It doesn't make sense to blame a site because a comment on HN didn't correctly describe the content of the website... like, the problem is the comment, not the site.

The comment you replied to said it was a site about "self-hostable services". The site doesn't claim to be just about "self-hostable services".

The rules for building in these areas should be way more strict than they are. A 4.x earthquake in Japan is just another normal day for them.

And even the most adaptive creatures have limits.

OT, but the company behind that extension seems to be a bit shady.

uBlock Origin is open source, very efficient, and seems to be well regarded around these parts.

I'm not familiar with Spanish law, but you can see the problem with forcing a company to provide details of customers that are from a different country.

It's a bit like the UK demanding that Apple gave them access to user data of all customers worldwide. Apple correctly told them no and stopped offering end-to-end encryption to UK users.

It's certainly not dead, but having access to cheap, high quality, easy to use alternatives certainly stopped many from using "pirated" content.

With price increases, more subscriptions needed, more restrictions, etc, we'll probably see more people sailing the high seas.

We don't even have to leave the African continent do understand that people being okay with and performing genocides, waging war, etc, isn't an exclusive American trait.

You can install an adblocker and Google/Microsoft end up losing money if you use them. You can't stop Kagi from sending money to Yandex, unless of course you stop using Kagi.

Just because you decide to do something, it doesn't mean that you have to do everything. Even if you wanted to, it's likely that you can't.

In my opinion this helps Putin in his propaganda that the west just hates russia.

It does help him, but you're not going to support those who do nothing or feed the machine waging war just so Putin's propaganda gets a bit weaker.

If the average Russian doesn't understand that the reaction is due to their (well, mostly their governments) actions, then that's another problem that only them can fix.

Following that reasoning, is Gazprom invading a country? No? Then I guess we should buy their gas. Why not send the latest and greatest ASML lithography machine to Mikron? It's not like they're actually launching the missile using the processor they manufacture.

And so on. You can see the problem with this...

You'll be shocked to learn that some people avoid US products for exactly the reasons you've mentioned. Right now some avoid Israeli stuff for similar reasons. And so it shouldn't be a shock to learn that some people don't want their money to end up in pockets of Russians and their state (via taxes).

Some people do avoid US companies for the reasons you've mentioned.

People tend to care more about what they are familiar with. Someone in Zimbabwe probably cares more about the war in Sudan and avoids dealing with the countries involved than with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and use Russian products. Same with someone in Iran, they probably care more about Syria and Palestine, and avoid Israeli products while using Yandex.

Maybe it's hypocrisy, but humans don't have the capacity to support every victim of every war.

Perhaps they don't, but some do. And those who avoid Amazon or Google might be fine with using Russian companies.

We don't have the mental bandwidth to support every good cause or the capacity to avoid every bad player. That doesn't mean that you have to be fine with and use products from every company/country.

That's a completely valid position to have.

The thing to keep in mind is that for some people, and this includes some of your customers, there are things that are more important than your mission. Right now, some people avoid anything that is related to Israel. When the US invaded Iraq, some avoided US companies. I won't touch anything related to Musk after the two sieg heils and other things. The guy that complained clearly has an issue with what Russia is doing in Ukraine and doesn't want their money to end up in Russia.

It's a free market. You should do what you think it's right and then people will do the same with your product. Some will care more about search quality and pay, while others will care about the companies you decide to work with and use something else.

I don't know if you should drop Yandex or if the alternatives are better or not, but I feel that you're missing the point here.

You're looking at this purely from a technical point of view. That makes sense when trying to make the best search engine, I guess, but humans are not machines. You talk about geopolitics and search quality, when the guy you replied to is thinking about indirectly funding a machine that is bringing war to a country and killing people (I have friends that have been affected by it).

Your profile says you're "humanizing the web". To do that, we can't ignore what humans are and how we work.

Not a bad solution if you're looking for things that are usually removed from results in the west, eg, torrents and stuff like that.

Can you quote one of the Tweets that resulted in someone being arrested?

Is the site illegal? If yes, where? And is CF required to follow the laws of that jurisdiction?

SoulSeek still relies on central servers for some things. Every time they go down, people go to the sub reddit to ask what's happening.

Safari isn't the solution in this case as they were actually the first ones to heavily restrict adblocking. Manifest v3 is inspired by what they did.
