In the NIO case, NIO owns the battery and you pay a monthly leasing fee. One interesting feature this allows is that you can lease a cheaper low capacity battery for the 48-50 weeks of the year you drive less then 100 miles a day, and upgra

As much as I would have loved to see some more 'extreme' improvements to python, given how the python community reacted to the relatively minor changes that python 3 brought, anything more extreme would very likely have caused a P

It supports all your existing python code and python libraries (at the cost of being significantly slower than PyPy).

The reason this approach is so much slower than some of the other 'fast' pythons out there that have come before is that they are making sure you don't have to rewrite a bunch of existing libraries. That is the problem with a

But wouldn't it be great if you could just write your libraries in Python Everybody obviously wants that. The question is are you willing to lose what you have in order to hopefully, eventually, get there. If Python 3 development st

Most (all?) electric cars can easily and comfortably do 100+ mph no problem. It's just that range really drops off after ~60-70 mph so most people don't bother if they want to avoid stopping to charge several times on a longer tri

When every ounce of power mattered, fine-tuning your OS made sense I used to believe that and was a huge Gentoo user for years back when it was initially released. Then one day I benchmarked Gentoo and a default RedHat install on every wo

Will you make these steps as easy, fair and painless as possible, or will throw up as many barriers as possible so as to attempt to bankrupt any small creator trying to collect?

You will never be able to enforce your claim against big corps How is that relevant? Many 'wrong' things happen every day, and most will go unpunished. That has no bearing on the 'wrongness' of the act. If you believe

To be honest it also depends a lot on which Rolex you buy. Rolex makes (and have made) a ton of different watches over the decades and some of them are really cool and interesting and very desirable among 'real watch people'. At t

I wish AMD would just drop ROCm AMD has a really terrible reputation for dropping old and introducing new APIs on a whim. To the extent that a lot of people in the field are completely burned out on AMD. Dropping yet another API after pro

The CE marking is a self certification program, and there isn't an approval process. All the can happen is that you can get fined after the fact for applying the mark to products which don't fulfil the necessary requirements.

CE approval is not only a rubber stamp, it's a rubber stamp you get to apply yourself. By applying the CE mark you a certifying that your product fulfils all the necessary requirements and that you can document it, but no one will actu

Do cameras work as a deterrent? I know people who captured clear HD resolution 'portraits' (no mask or even sun glasses) of their burglar and they had to repeatedly nag the police to even bother looking at the image.
