In a sudden stop event, assuming the driver does the same tasks (lifts foot off accelerator pedal, moves to brake, then presses brake) - an standard ICE vehicle simply stops accelerating (minimal engine braking). An EV starts decelerating

I'm sure if they try it will go down perfectly well with the rest of the world. It's not like the US has a monopoly on finances or force globally. China and BRICS are waiting in the wings.

That pales in comparison to the payouts Apple does to its software suppliers. Just making payments to a company doesn't make you a "customer" in any real sense.

Technically those are suppliers, not customers.

EVs are much safer - they both accelerate and decelerate faster and most EVs have regen braking by default - this means a) they get up to speed quickly b) drivers aren't worried about slowing because they can get back up to speed muc

A location probably requires like a million scans to be visualized properly. Think of a park near your house - there are probably thousands of ways to view each feature within.

Doesn't seem factual to me. Smells like a troll or flamebait. Deserves to be moderated into the ground.

To my understanding - in BlueSky (and Mastodon) this is possible (you can pick the reverse chronological feed) but in Twitter or Threads this is not possible.

There are lots of MSFTers who now work for Google. They just relocated from the Microsoft office in Palo Alto to the Google one down the road. Same people = same mistakes.

Would you never buy a used ICE car because replacing the engine would effectively total the vehicle? Batteries last a LONG time assuming the vehicle manufacturer has put proper heat and SoC management into the battery controller (ie, not a

CA is doing both but PG&E (and SDGE and SCE, etc) are screwing everyone over as they wasted decades without maintaining their lines properly and now charge through the roof on power distribution which they have a monopoly on.

Honestly I tried cheaper hotels and motels and often times I simply didn't sleep well there - usually due to some noise as some college or high school kids were running up and down the hallway outside or were partying in the room next

There was a recent article about Kia reconsidering the EV9 factory line in GA since the incoming Trump admin is likely to squash the IRA/BBB stuff Biden set up - specifically the $7500 tax credit for EVs. As an EV6 owner I strongly con

PG&E is a factor in net emigration out of CA. Agreed single-party-controlled states are full of inefficiency (aka corruption).

The data in fact shows the reality - when affordability was great, people had kids, when it's bad, people don't. Everything is expensive as hell these days.

Coal is key to current steel manufacturing process. There are experimental green steel processes but very nascent. If you're building stuff, you need coal.

Article mainly talks about stopping coal, when the goal should be increased generation of power. China does it well - they are building out nuclear, coal, and carpeting entire rooftops with solar and mountain ridges with wind turbines.

Consumer sales vs. B2B sales are different beasts. Absent some titanic shift (e.g. Apple is banned from sales), consumer sales are more durable. If AI doesn't pan out, those H100s are not going to find a lot of sales anywhere and Nvid
