2·4 hours agoIsn’t that just a modern Tesla at this point?
5 minutes to get it to 70% capacity, with a battery that drives several hundred miles on a charge.
But if you’re at the mall and there’s a charging station, you can plug it in and refill it while you do your shopping.

Well, you can’t see it, because the US won’t let you buy one
They’re fully in thrall to market forces. Those forces simply dictate that they lobby for protected markets. It’s far cheaper to buy off a lobbyist than to build a cutting edge battery factory
It’s so simple even a Republican can use it
they were within their rights to refuse to do business with the US government, and I don’t agree that the response to them refusing it should be the US government blacklist their company
I mean… you want to refuse business but you don’t want to be refused business?
How does that work?
They’re just trying to get clicks. It’s attention seeking behavior, not real concern for public policy.
FIRE has always been a corporate friendly libertarian-right organization. They post this stuff because they need to appear relevant to their sponsors.
Eh. Depending on where those parts were sourced…
Who is going to remove it? Trump’s friend Tim Cook? Trump’s friend Jeff Bezos? Trump’s friend Sundar Pichai? Or Trump’s friend Satya Nadella?

They trained a tiny patch of neurons to respond to low-voltage electric impulses. The cells don’t know they’re playing Doom. They don’t have any kind of social context or even video feedback.
Imagine if I stuck you in a sensory deprivation chamber, handed you an NES controller, and asked you to hit the buttons. Then, periodically, I said “Yes” or “No” based on the buttons you pressed. And when I pulled you out of the tube at the end of an hour, I told you “the yes and no messages were intended to encourage you to correctly navigate Mario through the first level of the original game.” What if, instead of Mario, I’d been telling you how to play Street Fighter?
It doesn’t matter if its Doom. They likely picked Doom because the I/O is so rudimentary that you can install the game on practically anything. The cellular matter has no idea what it’s doing beyond the “Yes/No” signaling.
That’s the one.
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
It is a bigger deal in business settings, where one laptop can see multiple hands and you’ve got a team dedicated to repair.
Not typically an issue for the individual user, but increasingly an issue for a team of users as the size of the team grows
Unfortunately, the other half of the people who don’t want it banned have all the political capital.
You were not born when the decoupling began. You will not live to see it end.
I mean, depends on who you ask. But there’s definitely been a deliberately effort from within the Silicon Valley wing of the economy to force people into using Cryptocurrency as a legally-compulsory dollar alternative.
