As a newbie in nuclear fusion, this explanation is the most interesting part:

Lee Margetts at the University of Manchester, UK, says that the physics of fusion reactors is becoming well understood, but that there are technical hurdles to overcome before a working power plant can be built. Part of that will be developing methods to withdraw heat from the reactor and use it to generate electrical current.

“It’s not physics, it’s engineering,” he says. “If you just think about this from the point of view of a gas-fired or a coal-fired power station, if you didn’t have anything to take the heat away, then the people operating it would say ‘we have to switch it off because it gets too hot and it will melt the power station’, and that’s exactly the situation here.”

Optimistically, those over-the-industry-ratio of line investments in automation will be profitable after more models are introduced for the mainstream audience.

Other car makers take no risk in the short term by not investing to automate more final assembly. But 2 times more is not like 10 times more. It is very probable that Tesla will get to have lower production cost & better capacity than other car makers in just a few more years.

Yeah I know they may need more cash very soon and are way under their targeted rate, but Musk still has lot of money in the bank I think?

I always think of Tesla of a company with a more long-term vision than other car makers. I think analysts sometimes just want a lower the price so they can get more of it.

They just sent an email to their customers in Québec and they specify they will not share reservation and owner details to the government, only a summary per region per month.

So the is no extra power to Revenu Québec to find out you don't report all your earnings.

The fact they sent (french) :

Partagerez-vous mes informations personnelles lors du versement de la taxe ? Non. Nous remplirons une déclaration fiscale par région, qui indiquera le montant total des revenus issus de l'ensemble des réservations Airbnb effectuées dans la zone en question. Autrement dit, tous les hôtes seront représentés par un même montant, et nous ne fournirons pas vos informations personnelles sur la déclaration.

The most interesting thing for me will be that we be that the governement (and maybe us too) will be able to know much more precisely how much Airbnb renting is going on in the province and possibly where & when too.

Nodes are now being reported as stopped, but can't be started yet.

"An issue affecting the physical hardware this Linode resides on has been detected.

We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and will update you as soon as we have more information.

Your Linode will return to its previous state once the issue is resolved.

Thank you for your patience and understanding."

New response from support :

"Based on the information we had at the time we believed it to be a DDoS attack. We are now aware that it was a power problem affecting our Newark data center. The backup system did not work and we are still looking for additional information from the data center staff.

We will be updating our status page with any further information.

Thank you."

Same here, got this reply from support :

"Linode 1 hour ago

Hello there,

We have detected a large incoming DDoS attack to our Newark facility. We already have our administrators working to mitigate the attack. We will have service restored as soon as possible. Please refer to the following page for status updates:

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Thank you.

Complete blackout for my nodes, can't reach them at all. Even Linode dashboard stats for my nodes are empty starting 11:51.

Almost 30 minutes now, I hope it get fix soon!
