My first EV was a Volt which had only ~30 miles of EV range before it switched to gas. I bought it because I was EV curious but worried about range and I got a crazy cheap lease from GM. I drove it for three years and did a few short road t

Great site, super interesting. The fuel mix pie chart in the top left would be far more readable as a horizontal bar chart with the labels displayed. I probably don't need to give my usual lecture on why pie charts suck to the HN crowd

My first manager was a woman and I was the only male in the IT department where I was interning. I think it was mostly due to typing being dominated by women, and most of the workforce in that department was data entry.

As I understand it, engine sourcing has been one of Boom's challenges. Rolls Royce was originally working on an engine for them, but cancelled it in '22. Boom announced their own engine design last year but I'm assuming that&

It's still not a significant source of revenue. How many per-seat licenses do you think they will sell to vfx companies, who usually operate on paper-thin margins?
