That would mean that instead of an engine, you’re lugging around a battery pack, which is just as heavy while giving you a fraction of the range of an engine. Not to forget that battery cells have only a finite lifespan.

Meanwhile, OHLE gives you infinite range and room for major weight savings. Plus you can keep running the same power system for decades.

That headline sounds to me like them claiming “Y’all’re a bunch of eejits for usin’ our service!”

To which I’d say “Yeah sure, I’m certain that would hold up in court” with the biggest eye roll you could imagine

I heard that there were already plans for protests. I’m considering to join them.

From what I’ve gathered from other threads, it’s meant to target ad blockers, not Firefox users. It appears though that Firefox users ended up in the crossfire, while uBO can be rigged to block the sleep() function in that case, nullifying the wait.

Also, 3. That was meant to target ad blockers, not Firefox users

Infinite growth in a finite world is impossible.

Do we need to start requiring all C-suite managers to learn thermodynamics?

Same. Although I have a few services where I use it to log in, sooo…

That sounds like a treat, not a threat!

That sounds more like a problem with your city and less like a problem with taxis in general.

And honestly, that sounds like it could have a theoretically straightforward solution:

Either tie taxis to the transit network, optionally with an app, or create an Uber-esque app specifically for legitimate, professional taxis. And in either case, optimise these services for the end-user experience.

Oh no- anyway.

A suspiciously wiped and cleaned trail is still a trail.

The only way I see Unity being saved is by developers buying it out, only to render it Open-Source. And for the purpose of an open-source 3D game engine, you’ve got Godot.

Something tells me that within my lifetime, Brussels will become the capital of the free world.

Do you trust Them to keep it opt-in?

Given the fact it’s pushed through despite widespread disapproval of this development, I wouldn’t.

Does this apply to European cars as well? Do we need to start filing GDPR complaints against car manufacturers?

He’s one of a handful of people in my book who do not have the honour of being called by their name.

According to the video (it’s elsewhere in the thread), the standard for uptime for industrial machinery is amazingly close to 100%. Given a million opportunities for such a machine to have a fault, you should want less than a handful of times that it actually craps itself.

McDonald’s machines are down more than 10% of the time.

If I was a big industrial conglomerate like GE, VDL or Samsung and I had a machine that was down 10% of the time, and the error reporting was opaque and forced me to call the manufacturer for a service technician, AND all the critical operating parameters are behind some special manual that only their service technicians are allowed to have, I’d fucking sue the manufacturer.

As a .world user, it’s had some instability. Though in general I’d say it has okay uptime for a somewhat startup, volunteer enthusiast run content aggregation & discussion platform.

The problem with CAFE is that it does not apply to trucks and SUV’s. So bear with me for a moment:

You are a car executive, choosing what car to make. On one hand, say there’s a station wagon. On the other, say there’s an SUV. The bean counters assure you they cost about as much to produce, but the station wagon has to comply to stricter regulations, and the engineers tell you they’ll have to work harder to make the station wagon comply to the law.

Meanwhile, the SUV costs about as much to make, but has way fewer rules it has to comply with. The marketing team tells you they can sell both vehicles just as well, though you may be able to set a higher sticker price for the SUV.

Do you build the more heavily regulated station wagon, knowing your margins are thinner? Or do you take the easier option with bigger margins and build the SUV?

You’ll even see the outcome IRL. In the US, Ford tries to convince you that the car you need for your family is a pick-up truck with a crew cab. Meanwhile, in the European market, where larger cars start costing much more much sooner, the same segment gets offered a seven seater minivan.
