Maybe, but that's above their rated specs. P100d starts out with 500 hp but also weighs nearly 5000 lbs. By 80mph back EMF has probably taken power down to about 300hp. Essentially, at highway speeds, telsas are slower than the averag

No gearing is bad for performance and inelegant. Tesla's cars should have a top speed over 220 given their power and acceleration. They're all limited to ~140 because no gearing. The motors start to get inefficient even around 80m

High drain isn't the problem, most lithium ion can be drained at 15-50C (drain rate not temperature) until empty without being harmed. P100D is 100kw/h battery, which should be able to put out at least 1500 hp continuously. The pr

This reads like BS. They mention increases in efficiency like it matters when electic motors are already ~95% efficient. They mention cogging as a problem, when everyone solved that a decade ago by using FOC drivers. It does field weakening

They call it fire code inspections. Most commercial places are inspected at least once a year. You can't have an emergency exit that locks, it must always be openable from the inside. You get huge fines for an emergency exit that is bl

The real problem is that HN doesn't annotate paywalled sites. 1/3 of the links I click I can't access. If I could filter by non-paywalled links I would agree with you

There's a huge amount of cross border inter-state migration in the US. Maybe 30% of the population over a lifetime. I would guess less than half of citizens die in the state their parents were born. I echo your amazement with the sheer

Eh, not using popular frameworks is a recipe for unmaintainable sites. You're missing a lot of features these provide for free. Accessibility Cross browser polyfills Easy translation support Automatic mobile view Developer mindshare Th

Is this a hit piece on smaller ratings agencies? For example, the only charts on the page show how smaller agencies give higher grades on average. What does this have to do with risky asset vehicles exploding in popularity? Not much. There

He's right that heavy vehicles are statistically much safer across the board. If you search for list of cars with lowest accident fatality rate it's almost all giant trucks and SUV's. You're heavier than the cars around

This guy is totally right. When there's no change on screen a huge percentage of bandwidth is from iframes, essentially start over points for fast forward and network corruption. There's a tradeoff between skip/fast forward f

Personally I think "the devil you know" mentality is better when considering that any Telecom tech could be compromised. Yeah everybody is probably spying, so you should get your gear from your strongest allies. Would you rather h

Like yours? :) . With no evidence I blame downvotes, which seems to be a common thread with other users on this thread. I don't think it's about high karma. I've got a few comments that gave me like 1/3 of my karma. It d

I agree with #1. It's super easy to write a blog post that gets more upvotes than any comment ever will. If most HN readers are like me, I immediately go to comments before checking out the article. The current karma system encourages

I like upvotes of course, and flagging is fine. IMO downvotes tend to greatly increase the echo chamber effect and should either be removed or less weighted. The least controversial comments usually bubble to the top, even when they're

Reasonable requirements. Scary to think the majority of developers don't know anything about performance. The majority I talk to don't even know what http2 is! Super popular REST libraries like Flask, Django, and Rails don't

I always have a ton of problems getting C binaries building. Java and JS are generally super easy. Python and Ruby somewhere in the middle. Kinda a proxy for cross platform compatibility I guess. Some projects now just build in their own

Not everyone agrees with that. A lot of people think the efficiency of writing code in favorite language X makes up for the added hosting cost. I just don't believe it with how many choices are available now. Maybe that was true 5-10 y

Border towns might be a decent idea. I was only considering crossing northern Mexico by car which natives visiting the US have told me is something they never do.

I'd look into kelvar shirts and "riding" jeans sold to motorcyclists. It's not gonna stop bullets but knives maybe. I heard the jeans especially are just as comfortable as denim (since people are used to rather rough den

Northern Mexico is super dangerous so realistically you would have to fly. And I don't think the TSA will like you carrying a multi year supply of meds back to US

Java got this right with reverse domain names over a decade ago. To use a namespace you have to own the URL. Simple and effective abuse resistant package naming.

I would check out the compression handlers in Netty, which underlies Vert.X and many other projects that need high IO performance. You should be able to hack something together that feeds zero copy buffers into Netty compression handler. Ma

There's no way to punish a government without punishing the country. The sanctions are not on the people themselves, for instance Iranians can and do visit the US. Iranians and US citizens should protest against their governments causi

Iran is under US sanctions, I wouldn't expect Iranians to have access to services from any US company. It sucks, but that's the whole point of sanctions.

It may be related to how many containers I run. Usually at least ten, sometimes 30. Usually the problem isn't daemon itself, but all the garbage integration attached to it
