This is a feature of bitcoin not a bug.

If you sling code for cryptocurrency you and your loved ones are "in the game" now.

Generally speaking, thermal runaway is not the lithium reacting directly with water in the air, it's a self oxidizing fire-- The electrolyte fluid is combustable, metal oxides in the anode material release oxygen when heated and a short circuit provides the heat and ignition source.

Kind of, all the other advantages they have are a result of being in such a dominant position in the market, which they gained more or less through that superior toolkit (CUDA).

Claim eminent domain or BIS over CUDA and allow it to be used on all those other chips.

You fix the anti-trust issues and super charge AI development just by open sourcing CUDA.

We said we were 100% collateralized, actually it's only 50% but you can trust us that it really is 50% collateralized this time and we aren't lying again. Transact with trust!

Don't even need that, just an emergency data request sent from a compromised municipal police email account.

A universal problem for all EVs in cold climates

So the same math as making all the cars electric to begin with?

The amount of cope in this comment is astronomical

This was always the plan. Get the criminals to concentrate the funds into a currency that's easier to confiscate.

Bonus points if the NSA/CIA can steal it to fund black ops.

Greed.

But won't someone think of the shareholders? Surely we can't deprive them of positive financial outcomes over something as silly as a living wage for workers?

Don't let the CTO be a scapegoat. Entire executive leadership, all board members and the 5 largest shareholders.

Uber greyball, VW emissions test profilers, Tesla range shenanigans.

Seems we should default to assuming it lies until otherwise proven.

They take steroids and it turns them into narcissists with anger issues. See also: American Cops.

You've clearly never been on a bike path in America! Road cyclists wearing spandex suits are the most universally obnoxious group of assholes you'll meet here. They make Tesla and BMW drivers look polite, and will openly roid range on anybody that doesn't dive out of their way while they ride shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the path.

"Inflation reduction"

Not sure I'm in love with the idea of emergency services spending a bunch of time breaking windows and putting hoses through a car.

Although not in love with fire hydrants as a revenue source either.

It's insane because Discord has the usage stats to see that the first thing a majority of users do when joining a new server is to force mute group @ notifications.

I honestly wonder why this is even a feature they support, but it should absolutely be defaulted to mute and/or have a checkbox for it in the new server join banner. They force collect phone numbers while highlighting the fact that they will spam the ever-loving fuck out of your notifications.

That sounds like "just following orders" with extra steps.

One empire can crumble into nothing without another empire immediately taking it's place. Previously the rest of the world tripped over one another to put all their eggs into our basket. Now we are getting sideways looks with a mixture of "You doing OK America?" and quietly diversifying their portfolios.

Adding in the 2 stroke design and wide ranging fuel compatibility to the above military centric specs, I have to imagine the emissions profile is truly stunning.

I can think of 75 million or so Americans that would vote for it loudly if the right politicians came out in support of the idea.

While I'm sure there are some DJIs being used for recon, my understanding of the situation is that the overwhelming majority of drones used as guidance / delivery systems for munitions are hobbyist style DIY fpv drones. They are less expensive, have significantly higher payload carry capability and can be constructed from more generally available and interchangeable components[1][2][3]

For these types of drones all the consumer and FOSS control links are unencrypted and critically vulnerable to frequency hopping hijacking attacks [4]

The video and control for all of these systems (including DJI) can be disrupted by jamming consumer and hobbyist frequencies; 300-975mhz, 2.4ghz, and 5.8ghz.

As with any information coming from active modern war zones, the incidence of misinformation, disinformation and propaganda will be high.

"Snark or flamebait" as determined by tech bros that own the car?

On any given day there are 30 fresh topics getting lambasted by the terminally online nerds that populate this site but the second someone brings up Tesla-- Mods show up to enforce "civility" and pass out bans to anybody with 'wrong' opinions.

Hacker News being pointlessly negative is such a meme that people blackhole links coming from HN just to avoid the "free condescending advice", seems fitting these same reply guys can't handle the lightest of criticisms against their god-king or his ewaste cars.

We get called "the orange site" because name dropping Hacker News on social media causes a swarm of scavengers to attack you like a dead fish hitting the ocean floor.

I understand you have a difficult job making sense of the above + trying to prevent it from getting worse but genuinely this interaction leaves me feeling like getting my main account banned from HN would be a badge of honor.

"The best anti-drone load out" in the context of FPV quadcopters is going to be a radio transmitter configured to overwhelm their video or hijack control through frequency hopping attacks. The marginal cost of taking down the drone is virtually zero, radio jamming provides a continuous wide area of denial without user input and can't be overwhelmed by a swarm of attacking drones like a point defense turret could be.

The RC control channel is unencrypted and the video feed is analog. If I'm being attacked by FPV drones I'll take a freshly certified ham radio operator over a world champion duck hunter any day.

Birdshot is very effective against plastic propellers and soft side lipo batteries, which are both virtually universal critical components on FPV quadcopters.

3 flights actually seems pretty good given the conditions-- I suspect they aren't walking out to fetch any crashed or malfunctioning devices in an active combat zone and the analog video signals are exceptionally easy to interfere with.

The things being discussed in these threads are valid criticism. The cars have deep flaws and the corporation has an expectation that exuberant owners will continue to do free marketing and PR for them.

Ban away if you need to but I'll continue to level valid critiques at a tech company selling an $80,000 luxury sedan without a spare tire.

George Bush was reelected for a second term and didn't leave office until he was unable to run for it again.

He was reelected because of his role in foreign interventions not in spite of them.
