I wonder how much of their knowledge of motors and batteries are usable in cars though. The power draw and load characteristics must be very, very different and I don't think it simply scales up.

A fan or vacuum motor is basically ramping up, running at constant speed (either fixed rpm, or fixed drive depending on how they designed it), and ramps down. A car motor on the other hand must be able to meet much more dynamic use.

Also, the image we get from the article is "we have the motor, now we just need the car" understates how hard it must be to build a robust, safe, efficient, etc, car. (not that I have much experience apart from How it's made, and various factory clips on youtube :) ). At least, he says it won't be cheap.

>You would assume that half of all stocks would outperform a market index while the other half would underperform.

Why would you assume that? The probability space isn't even symmetrical. Stocks can't drop more than 100%. Not to mention that prices tend to grind upwards, but crash downwards, whereby mathematically the only way it works out is if you have a skewed distribution. Even the most naive investor would have a hard time justifying a "mean = median" assumption.
I'm curious to see where he'll go. He specifically said it will be nothing like cars out there, and Dyson products are always uniquely different to the norm. Will it even look like a car as we know it?
Geo-IP minus any cases of "we know they're not Russian" due to accounts/etc.

In other words: as conservative as possible heuristics.

Edit: Clarification. Simply having an account on some website is obviously not what I meant. I meant cases where we legitimately have and are allowed to use (see GDPR consent requirements wrt what you can and can not do with PII under EU regulations) users' PII to decide this.
Are you kidding? You really think that Twitter should be censoring the president of the United States?

That is beyond ridiculous. His tweets are instantly newsworthy - would you object to CNN writing about them?

And if you've gotten to the point where your political philosophy is to censor the democratically elected leader of the US, you've basically removed all possibility of ever understanding about half the people in the country.

They really don't, there is no such process built in. If it where as rigid as with bitcoin exchanges, this (and probably many similar) would not have happened.

The V6 and newer V8 don't have a lot of plastic unlike the bigger Dyson vacuums. They also are idea for small apartments and do well on hardware floors.

Why, and how did user control and consent become so hard?
No. My problem is not automation/mechanization, I'm all for that. My point is that, if we mechanizes, who pays the bill for lost/relocated jobs ?

Even integrated circuits, according to The Chip by T.R. Reid. He writes that for several years they were too expensive to compete with wiring together discrete components, but suddenly the space race and arms race demanded small, light electronics, so government purchasing funded the early years of IC development.

Dumb Things Camera Companies are Still Doing
Well, let me tell you my story. The first company I worked in was developing and selling a ERP to several middle-sized companies- we had about 30/ 40 clients, with maybe half of them requesting customizations and new procedures to be added on a regular basis. We were just three developers, and the ERP was written in C. Not even a SQL database, the access to the DB was based on cursors. Sounds like a nightmare, right? And yet, that has definitely been the most productive environment I've ever worked in.

The secret was a well tested and never changing base library and hyper-specialized developers but especially no deviation whatsoever from the standards ("can we have that string in blue?" "no, not possible, sorry"), a very controlled environment to run on and strictly defined use cases.
Which might be zero, if no private investors foresee a reasonable return on the investment.

Unfortunately no. The main problem was that we had absolutely no dedicated customer support people - the boss disbanded them, because he saw them as unnecessary wall between customers and engineers; he assumed that all cases brought to CS are forwarded to engineers anyway, which was far from truth - there were a lot of cases where problems were solved either by reconfiguration of our software or by reconfiguration of customer's servers, both of which would be advised by CS people, without engineers' involvement.

That means it was impossible for engineers to do customer support occasionally - they had to do all of it. And when a customer may call at any time, it is hard to find any rhythm or rotation - development becomes a filler which is added in between customer interactions.

Why throw good money away?

"subsidizing their commercial operations, why would they not simply shut the commercial side down and keep more of that sweet, sweet, defense money as pure profit?"

They are not subsidizing commercial operations with money, commercial operations is not operating on a loss long term. One small example, having billions of defense income makes your debt much cheaper. If they even need debt. From working in an enterprise company it's common to move money around on a zero interest rate basis. One part needs a billion $ to develop something or for marketing? Done. Some years later it gives that money "back". Zero interest. It was amazing.
What is the point of a Linux based console?

Traditional consoles had fixed hardware which could be exploited through vendor specific APIs. If this is just going to run games programmed with OpenGL, this is not different from any other Linux PC.

Given the introduction of APIs like Vulkan which bings the programmability of PCs even closer to consoles, I don't see a use case.

The only market I can think of the niche of Atari fans.
thanks alot for the details, for me it looks like the most important thing is that while launching you need to find potential customers and you do that via forums/social/... otherwise they will not locate your website just because I put a web site in the internet, how much do you think that is correct please?

A car like this should probably be compared (and favorably so) to a scooter/motorbike for commuting. It's better when it rains and it's certainly better in the Tahoe incident. You can drop off a kid at school in it, and so on.

The problem now being that "$5k" isn't very disruptive in the moped segment of commuter vehicles.

I also did a reasonable size project in Meteor, was pretty quick to get going, but the nightmare started as the project evolved, packages got abandoned, and Mongo was really very very average.

The real value proposition of Meteor wasn't really it's data reactivity (still nice to have), it was having a prebaked authentication / data backend from the get go.

The case is delicious. I can't tell anything about it from the article or the company website, so it's anyone's guess what this actually is. But, it sure does look pretty.

That said, I worry that at the price point, it'll be a somewhat disappointing gaming experience compared to a general purpose PC with a decent GPU. Having a high-quality retro experience is cool and all (I hope they have arcade versions of the games, rather than the original VCS 2600 versions, as they were kinda awful), but it's been possible to emulate an Atari on modest hardware for a couple decades...I doubt I'd spend $250 for a pretty box that plays classic Atari games, even though I grew up on them.

1984 is very unrealistic. I personally found it boring.

People should study what happened in the Easter European countries from the Warsaw Pact, like Romania.

The interesting thing about our former communists and their security apparatus was that they did not need high tech gadgets, video cameras or online social networks to keep tabs on everybody, you simply need an army an informers. And in a society where people want to be more equal than others, you'll find plenty of people that want to be informers, on every street, in any apartment building, in any group, people that will betray their friends and colleagues for free.

Plenty of unrealistic things in the 1984 novel actually. "Newspeak" for example doesn't need to happen because of a government mandate to ban words. Oh no, there's no need for that. Language simply gets stupid over time, as the public discourse simply becomes "wooden language", from the French "langue de bois", as a natural consequence of having uneducated people in charge yielding unlimited power and controlling the media.

The threat is actually not Facebook or Google, but rather the people, which are guilty of normalizing behavior that should not be normalized ;-)

Absolutely. Because there are NO private smaller plane building companies who would gladly design and build larger planes if the market asked for them. If the market itself was not deeply corrupted by massive government intervention...
It does indeed do that, there are numeric values returned as strings (i have _no_ idea why they do that), which is why I had `read` in there.

Deployment & sandboxing

Shallow learning curve for users and developers

Eliminates the document / app dichotomy

Advanced styling and branding

Open source and free to use

I would add:

write once, run anywhere; dynamically adapt to any viewport; incremental transfer of resources; no deployment; allows linking of views and resources
" a service/network/community/forum/etc for people to gather and discuss Really Confusing Bugs"

Should be universally open to all - at least until someone screws up badly enough to get temporarily or permanently barred, needs to be open outside regular work hours, should be free (or super a inexpensive nominal charge) to enter, would need to monetise itself via other means, perhaps selling beverages.

We've just re-invented "the bar"... ;-)
Thank you for all of these suggestions, very appreciated! I'll work through implementing these. Also, please see my explanation of the `read` calls below, but I plan to change those to `readMaybe`s, since there is a need to parse numbers from strings ( for whatever reason :/ )

The author of the poem has most certainly made sure not to go over the daily word limit.

These are the words actually spoken in the poem:

> I only used fifty-nine today. = 5

> I saved the rest for you. = 6

> I love you * (32 1/3) = 96 + 1 = 97

The remainder of the words are thoughts which don't add to the daily count.

Plus the author had already used 59 words earlier in the day.

So if we add it all up:

Yes, I tried searching on google books. For e.g. I searched for "world war 1" but I did not get any book or news articles from that period (1914-1918). The oldest was from 1970 around. And most of them are from >2000 period.

>I've posted my idea to many similar threads, so I apologize for repeating myself, but I feel pretty passionately about it and I feel it's a good idea to try to spread. Until I start receiving convincing evidence / arguments that the idea isn't worth spreading I'll probably continue.

I didn't read a single word about the idea, but I already like you, because this is the force that drives the change, not that yet another framework based on rotten primitives.

My personal view on topic is that we are in a trap now. Nobody is able to build NewBrowser in sane amount of time (or lifetime at least), so web is the only alternative. But there already are techniques almost always overlooked despite being designed for exactly this sort of thing: virtualization. While wasm looks promising, it is just another waste of engineering in the shadow of hosted full-VMs. Virtual machines already can do anything that web has to provide. Isolation, hardware abstraction, time sharing, quotas, etc. Millions of vds hosting are functioning on the same principles our browsers trying to implement.

I think that newweb must be built as a virtual machine with a little difference that it could actually access the host system to interact with user data or other "sites" or "apps". Not directly, but via networking to 169.254.254.254 or something like that for streaming and shared memory (think DMA) for intensive tasks like video streaming and accel graphics.

For those who's unsure about that approach, I can tell you that I'm running Linux operating system app in a VM hosted by Windows 7 and it talks to host via built-in samba and regular sockets. Moreover, if I need slightly another setup, I simply clone my Linux so that it shares all the data (no copy) but holds distinct changes. The same way your new frontend could just cheap-clone existing VM and apply few fixes over it to actually implement the UI.

Of course, Linux is a bad example, having startup time comparable to modern website loading. It should be really fast and lightweight, I think something like DOS+OpenGL+sound driver should do the trick.
The US has EV incentives as well.
They might gladly do it, but they would also need someone to gladly lend them the large amount of capital required, which is the bigger ask.
