Which is wrong, because of Trademark law you are not allowed to publish images of certain buildings from the US either, if that building is the main/dominating subject of the image. Among of those are the Empire State Building, the Chr

Blablacar brought Mitfahrgelegenheit.de. So in Germany, both are basically the same.

Many services require email confirmation, that is right. But this is not required immediately. I can do this hours later. Some services even allow it to do days later.

Services, which use this kind of login do not work for me. First: email is not a reliable way of communication. Emails can be delayed. That means, a service using this method has lost me before I even had a chance to look into the details o

This piece is clearly written by someone, who as no glue about the grid. (or wants to make a buzz out of nothing special) Battery power is always faster then generator power. That is the reason why every data center has battery backup for i

It's the IT folks who tell everybody you should connect everything to the Internet, because that makes everything so easy. It's the embedded folks, who tell that it is not made for this. It's the manager folks, who demand tha

Isn't that normal, that if you are one of the big guy that you look into all possibilities and always re-evalute what gives you the best option for the money?

> What fraction of the energy recovered by braking is actually stored? I would have thought the battery on a non-electric or non-hybrid truck would be far too small. Surely the battery gets topped off and then the extra power is dumped a

Sorry, for not checking Wikipedia. Because I work in the industry as an electrical engineer defining standards, and owning a historic truck myself just for fun, because I can. Originally, it is right that retarders were introduced to just h

Because of economics of scale, you design one versatile truck chassis. That can then be easily modified like longer vs. shorter for the super structure, the driver cabin is modified in size so that you have a sleeping possibility or not and

Brakes in trucks are already using regenerative braking for about 20 years right now and its called retarder. Because conventional braking is too expansive.

Over the last centuries there were a number of truck and bus manufacturers who tried the single/middle seat design. It was never a seller for any of those. If you take someone with you, you don't want to sit him/her to sit be

Sometime it is a compiler bug and sometimes the linker even can correct it. We had this weird behavior some years ago in an embedded functional safety-related project where a case tool generated the code for the compiler. When the generated

It seems both of you haven't read the article itself. The new CPU design is not about high-end CPU you expect from Intel or AMD. It is about CPUs for the IoT. We are talking about Cortex-M alike CPUs you find in micro-controllers from

Yes, there seems no length checking at all. All is assumed. Even on CAN you can't expect to receive only 8 bytes, because with a CAN FD controller it can be now 64 bytes.

You are wrong. Many, many engineering companies started without requiring a solid chunk of cash to start. In Germany it is quite common to start that way even today. Many startup folks consider this old fashioned. But it is the most engagin

What is so important about that fact? It is basic knowledge, that in a radio based system, like Wifi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, … you need to be near the source. That is called physics. With some techniques you may passively can monitor radio wave

So, you mean a 2FA tied to a mobile phone number? Ever heard of SS7 and its flaws? Hopefully, my government (Germany) will never come up with such stupid ideas.

But to maintain a functional safe state, you do not need Internet access. If you need Internet access to maintain a functional safe state, then you are doing it wrong. There is also no reason at all to make availability depending on Interne

People game the system. Always. Have learned that for years when it comes to safety systems. Even uneducated people become very intelligent when it comes to gaming the system to their advantage. It is always a cat and rat game between techn

That reminds me of the safety-related protocols we use since years in embedded electronics like rail-road signaling, medical, and other areas.

So then, what about the Model S with AP1? It was produced just last year.
