Tesla doesn't seem to keep engineering of new factory processes out of china [0]. The batteries for GF3 seem to be bought from LG Chem [1]. So yeah, I don't see Tesla being that worried about their IP or something like that. [0]

Notably absent in your list is to incentivize the "right" behavior, especially when society will have to pay for it down the line via social safety nets. Hopefully less of an issue with vaping.

Gov certainly has to incentivize good behavior, at the very least in areas gov will pay for down the line. That's easily the case for family planing, as children are an option to support the elderly. And then gov also doesn't have

Similar for me. Can enter location, but the tab freezes after i hit "go". Looking at the taskmanager, there is a FF content process using an entire core. Dev tools are kind of unresponsive and the process keeps running for a while

I love how these "failed" efforts did produce a quarter of germanys energy in 2018 [0] and heavily accelerated R&D of those technologies when they were far from profitable. The original article this discussion is about states

It would be nice, but I doubt the chargers they install will be available to the public. R&D for installing them is good, but will probably trickle down a lot less/slower. Also those 100k will be on the road only by 2030, and 10k b

I totally agree. Torrenting (and other piracy) is easy until a necessary part in your workflow is taken down. Finding a replacement is a pain, unless you have someone giving recommendations. Thankfully TPB and co seem quite durable.

I understand new high resolution data not being available for all areas. But generally I would have expected them to default to either the newer or a downscaled higher resolution source. The zoomed-out levels also have a ©2019 and not showi

Crashplan is kinda reliable to me... but sloooow. Recently had a drive die on me. Restore was buggy at first. Support seemed competent (hope that weren't just common text blocks) and gave me a more recent installer with my primary grip

Yes, people have to grow to not be stupid assholes. On the other side, if people think you're a stupid asshole, they should be allowed to cut off contact. Thus you probably want to avoid growing in the only global circle we have. With

Thing is it can be very cheap to "waste" your time and become harder and harder to get out of. I'm kind of trying that at the moment. I totally agree that society should make sure peoples basic needs are met, but don't s

There are arguments against Mozilla's current DoH rollout. DNS should be an OS setting and it should not default to a single commercial company. Both are totally valid and I hope be addressed as DoH matures. Or do you mean nothing sini

Please link me any product pages for hardware enabling a quantum stuff for their network core. I might have missed some revolution, but expect this to be.... "wishful thinking". At best.

I second KeePass, but use a special dropbox account to sync. It does use a third party provider, but I hope my specific setup is uncommon/customized enough to defend against drag net attacks. The benefit is being able to access my pass

I agree, an common, likely OS provided API to resolve names is in the theory the best way to go. Not least because it allows OS vendors to replace the implementation with more modern and secure variants over time by pushing sane standards.

Is any OS vendor working on something like that? Or do you expect Moz to jump into OS dev as well? I'd expect them to import settings from OS as soon as a major OS provides this for DoH.

Does your OS allow you to configure global DNS-over-HTTPS settings? Then you can hardly blame apps for not importing them. Yes, getting rid of shitty old standards means we have to live with multiple in parallel for a while and in the mean
