The article doesn’t try to do that at all. It just points out that these bags do need to last 6 years so they aren’t throwaway items. In fact, towards the end it points to how some schools are managing to achieve the same with $60 bags “ran

Wow what a blast from the past. I remember having to delve into a bug in some C code and GDB was acting absolutely strange. So I had to drop into assembly level debugging and was completely confused as to why a register was suddenly changin

Paul Graham is obviously saying these things. The “I‘n being suppressed because I can’t say these things” articles by extremely well placed people who constantly say these things is tedious.

China is absolutely gonna destroy the West with EVs. Western companies are completely asleep at the wheel, pun not intended. The U.S. is trying to do some good old fashioned protectionism to protect its industry but it’s either gonna fail,

Just switching to a public healthcare, or more likely, a public payer system won’t magically solve the problem. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done to ensure it works well. The difference is that there is evidence from other countri

On second thoughts I think I know why the industry is scared. The future is Chinese. The Chinese are absolutely destroying every other country in EVs. It seems to me the Western automakers’s response is to ostrich up and hope their governme
