Is there a company offering dual hub motors and regenerative braking commercially?

My understanding of community colleges is that they generally make a sincere effort to have qualified instructors with a good grasp of the materials.

If the major advantage of federation is the ability of small players to function on an event footing, yet a handful of large players control the vast majority of the market, it calls into question how real this advantage is.

You are assuming integrity and good-faith participation of all systems involved. This is not a reasonable assumption in the context of service abuse. Account compromise and host compromise spring to mind as avenues for spam. All it would ta

Email is my go-to example of all the problems of federation. In theory any person can stand up their own server and interact with everyone else. In practice, there's been so much abuse over the decades that it takes a staggering invest

This is how a lot of short selling works - they find fraud, mismanagement, etc and position themselves to profit from revealing it. That's why this journalist talked to one.

There was clear evidence that she had personally defrauded investors. The evidence for individual patients and personal culpability was much less direct. Prosecutors went with what they could easily prove.

Generally Cloudflare is integrated as the DNS level. In most configurations that would prevent intercepting their network requests and redirecting them to a copy hosted elsewhere or on another CDN. Pretty much every CDN works the same way o

If that was the problem, I think it would have been solved long ago without as many fires as we see today. Warmth is available in a variety of ways, including and not limited to warming centers and chemical warmers. Propane stoves are a poo

Honestly, all SF has to do is stop obstructing projects that are a mere 20% subsidized units. It's become common political practice to pretend that a parking lot housing zero people is preferable to a lot housing a bunch of people, of

Thank you for clarifying that I correctly understood the earlier comment. What would you like me to say at this juncture? I firmly believe that the root of the issue at hand is California's, and the Bay's, collective aversion to h

When I lived in Oakland, my apartment building had several close calls with wildfires caused by poorly contained campfires in a nearby encampment of vulnerable community members housed in tents to keep the wind off as they slept. Given that

That only works if the people in need of assistance don't respond to the on-site security by moving out of the encampment. You wind up having to establish a sizable security-protected area around the blessed encampment, otherwise you w

That's such a good idea that SF already does it! They're called "navigation centers". As you might guess, where to site one is an intensely political process. Oakland tried doing one temporarily. Three months turned into

Given the permanently mild weather in the SF Bay, this number is probably smaller than you think. Whereas fires in homeless encampments are a relatively frequent occurrence.

How do you weigh incipient death-by-fire-with-major-public-hazards against other options? I have no idea how you'd do it or how you'd weight other options. Basically, how many avoidable deaths by fire are you willing to sign off o

SF and Oakland have both had problems with fires in encampments. I'm betting the... let's call them guerilla housing efforts generally don't measure up on fire safety.

SF is governed mostly by the people who live there. The core of the problem is that SF has spent decades investing in giving every person, block, and neighborhood ways to participate in planning and changes. Generally this means giving out

That's a kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic approach founded on assuming good faith. Unfortunately, it is perhaps not an ideal fit. I was mostly not dealing with the most junior and new of developers here. I was often dealing with

I tried exactly this approach! What I got was a bunch of developers copy-pasting the error message with helpful URL at me and demanding to know what they should do. The number who followed the link and fixed the problem themselves was shock

If memory serves, FA unions often use seniority-oriented contracts. The more senior members will tend to be more active and better-represented among union leadership. Reserve members are often more junior. Putting on my cynical prick hat fo

My apologies, I can see I was not nearly specific enough. In addition to needing to sell a lot of equity to get enough money, coops generally cannot sell equity to outside parties through general-purpose capital markets to raise funds. Li

Coops often find it harder to borrow and they cannot sell equity. This makes the every "get some funding" step harder than it sounds. Going over the list I see a lot of people-organizing and community-outreach efforts. These are d

You're right, people's accounts aren't getting hacked that often. This is because of a wide array of security measures - the ones you're suggesting be disabled. The frequency of breaches goes up significantly without tho

I suspect the idea is to convince people there isn't another 50% of the argument. If you can do that, you're most of the way to winning the argument because you've manage to discredit so much as the idea of disagreement.

I would bet there's a series of seller-facing teams focused on making sure there's as little friction as possible to on-boarding and selling on Amazon.
