While we're dreaming, just have an interchangeable panel. Allow 3rd parties to make whatever dials etc. the customer wants. And if it were up to me I'd also get rid of the screen entirely and only have a HUD for navigation. It

Not buying that. If the most trade-dependent country becomes completely insular, it certainly wouldn't be overnight. > tuition industry Domestic trade doesn't really factor in here.

Tbf, all moats are temporary. The moat of US 'exceptionalism' and the primacy of the US dollar not excluded. However, the timeframe isn't easy to predict.

No two ways to look at it. Electrification is the inevitable next step for mobility, and BYD are going to be top dog. It's pretty obvious why Tesla is 'diversifying'/divesting into robotics, but Asia has plenty of move

The docs lead to a 403, but I'd be curious to know how it is simpler. I believe the Phoenix version uses Erlang iolists and immutability to make diffing more efficient, and perhaps the Django version has something similar?

I assume Django LiveView is directly inspired by Phoenix LiveView. It's essentially diffing template expansion on the backend and sending patches to the frontend via websockets where JS then applies the patches. Clicks and other inte

The middle and upper class, city people, are just a fraction of the population. If there's been progress, it's not bearing out in the data. Though there appears to be a slight inflection point around the 2010, it seems the trend

I'd imagine it makes providing constant AC voltage to the engines pretty tough. It's even a problem for home energy storage because you need an inverter that can handle a very wide range of input voltages. Most inverters will c

Na-ion cells have roughly half the volumetric and gravimetric energy density of NMC, so it's double the weight and double the space. Apart from still being at least as—if not more—expensive as LFP, they also have a sloping voltage cur

So three instances in the EU for the year. I suppose that's something. All I know is I don't see people with angle grinders taking down local infrastructure in Australia. Maybe if we matched in population it would be the same?
