This is the same in the UK. The market's absolutely flooding and they can be picked up for nothing.

Huge NHS and government leases of tens of thousands of vehicles.

Same goes for the Jaguar iPace. You can get 90,000GBP of car for like 35,000 with all the gadgets.


Even in essence brand new EVs are getting very significant discounts over there if you are not choosy. I wonder how the financing companies will be able to handle these if their guaranteed buyback prices need to hold. And they are underwater...


Doesn’t exactly answer your question, but I am hoping zerospace is the ‘next big thing’ / thing to reinvigorate the genre

Recent steam demo is super, super fun

It’s a shame aoe3 didn’t manage to pull over the sizable aoe2 audience and build upon it. That is basically the only major rts release in years. And it is really good but it was never going to be aoe2 and that’s not good enough for that hardcore player base.


Good time to run a fire resistant cladding company (or passivehaus design company) in the LA area -- I can only imagine, at least for those that can afford it, it's a no brainer if you're going to stay in the area


I’m British and that phrasing jumped out at me too. Few year old account, no surprises… Probs a bot.


I’m guessing it’s completely incidental that the CEO of crowdstrike was critical of China earlier this year, and that China is somehow unaffected by this ‘global’ issue!


I mean… yeah? almost everyone in the west except for some highly corrupt people is critical of china, and china doesn’t deploy crowdstrike.


Thank you for sharing. It reminds me of a similar website I made with my dad at similar age, in the mid 90s.

I hope she enjoyed it, and continues to enjoy it.

I also hope to do similar with my children when they’re at at that age.


That’s the same with a lot of hype in SEO circles. It’s the usual loud voices making a big deal out of it, but when you get down to the actual practicalities, not much changes.

Not least because very little of it is conclusive in terms of what Google do and don’t use, weightings, etc

It’s most valuable because it shows up a lot of googles public statements where they’ve said they don’t even consider certain things, with this implying they very definitely do in some capacity


Don’t care about it until it’s in their backyard


Perhaps surprisingly to the HN community, a lot of what is coming out confirms what decent SEOs have been saying for years (and appears to contradict a lot of what Google have said publicly via their various talking heads)


to be fair to obama, let's not pretend he didn't have an army of super smart planners, strategists and analysts behind him in various corners of the pentagon, the CIA and the NSA that led him to that decision


Sure, but were those super smart planners, strategists, and analysts just providing plans, strategy, and analysis that Obama already agreed with? Romney saw Russia for what it was in 2012 - Obama/Romney vote percents in 2012 was 51/47, a fairly close election. If Romney did win, would all of those planners/strategists/analysts be trying to convince Romney that Russia wasn't a threat, or would he just have had a different set that were telling him Russia is a major threat?


The reality is, the Obama administration kept drawing red lines that kept getting stepped over with no consequences. Syria, Iran, ISIS...Russia saw that and that there'd be no real consequences. Same thing happening now with the Biden foreign policy of "don't". Might call it the anti-Roosevelt doctrine: speak timidly, and what stick?

edit: minor grammar fix


North Korea.

Not entirely his fault but they got the bomb on his watch.


Do you have any evidence that the analysis supported the decision "nah let it slide"?

You don't need a bench of NSA analysts to grow a spine.
