Oh, yet another luxury EV.

Wake me up when a manufacturer finally commits to making an EV that everyone can afford and isn't a cloud-connected privacy nightmare.

The car starts at about €45k, about the same price as a Tesla Model 3!

Nice idea and good to see my site there on #23 on Saturday :)

I particularly think is a good idea that you have made the OP name in red throughout a thread, that helps a lot.

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the feedback and #23 on a weekend day is very impressive!

I found there are a couple of those small improvements that make HN significantly easier and more pleasant to read. Good to hear that the red names are not too distracting!

Not very often that system timestamp and UTC related posts sometimes appear on HN front page

I think 3 days ago I was checking on it again, because I was wondering how websites put timestamp in their published RSS/atom feed

https://hackerdaily.io RSS feed made me confused, to select timezone for the RSS feed as they want to think "Yesterday" means different thing for different timezone, not sure why, but I don't want to confused myself thinking how timezone and "Yesterday" work together

HN is using UTC, I realized that by hovering the mouse pointer on the "2 hours ago"

Again, if people don't want to use UTC for future events it's their choice. Personally I would advocate to use UTC and manually calculate the local datetime for future event, even if local timezone changes

You know, I wonder how watches work in this case, how do you alter the time on your watches according to the DST changes? The mechanical engineer of the watch takes this bug into account?

The creator of https://hackerdaily.io here!

The reason for a timezone specific RSS feed is because, like the site itself, the RSS feed only updates once a day at midnight. And _when_ the day changes depends on the timezone. Therefore we created different RSS feeds, one for each time zone.

Surely someone will make a movie or a series out of this in the future.

For posterity, how long will that take?

I'll start the bidding at ten years.

This happened in the sixties, during and after the six-day war between Israel and Egypt. Therefore I think a movie could be made out of this story any day now.
