lafar6502··on New Tech Centers Sprout in Europe
How the Germans flood you with these diesels? Do they drop their used car right across the border or is it organized at state level? And why they take out particle filters before that?
lafar6502··on Is Bitcoin a Waste of Electricity, or Something Worse?

lafar6502··on Elon Musk’s Boring Company Gets Preliminary Permit for NYC-DC Hyperloop

lafar6502··on To Power the Future, Carmakers Flip on 48-Volt Systems
Why everyone talks about switching to electric cars while nobody ever mentions electric heating of buildings as environmentally friendly alternative? Because it isn’t? Why bother with electricity-saving lightbulbs while EV owners burn the current like there’s no tomorrow...

lafar6502··on Ask HN: How to escape my own zombie startup?

lafar6502··on Lift Weights, Eat More Protein, Especially If You’re Over 40

lafar6502··on Detecting Consciousness (2017) [pdf]
Consciousness connects the symbols with real world, it’s the awareness by understanding abstract concepts and maintaining some model of reality. Without that you wouldn’t be more conscious than a thermometer. So maybe it’s just some self-referring logical model that is totally independent of physical world but at the same time needs the physical world to provide some hosting hardware
lafar6502··on Tesla Model 3 Teardown by Engineering Firm Reveals Flaws Like 'A Kia in the 90s'

lafar6502··on Tesla Model 3 Teardown by Engineering Firm Reveals Flaws Like 'A Kia in the 90s'
Does anyone ever consider the possibility that the quality of the car reflects the quality of the producer? No, it always has to be some conspiracy
lafar6502··on Mazda hopes to achieve 56% thermal efficiency with gasoline engine

lafar6502··on My interview experience with Canonical
Why would anyone associate his name forever with a failure or problems? Internet will not forget and all kinds of people will search and find it and have some fucking stupid ideas.
