The cars done even use Tesla’s famous electric motor design (induction motors), I believe they use switched reluctance motors. Def a smart design choice, but not on brand!

There’s also ancient Greek and Rome which were republics 2000 and 2500 years ago.

It surprises me that bringing the server in house especially for emergency services isn’t a priority.

If their claims are true, yeah. That’s how I read the implications.

I wish we had a brave new world, we’re getting 1984. While a brave new world was unsettling, almost every character enjoyed their lives. We’re getting “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever.”

I know you were just using that title because it conveniently fit the sentence. I just needed to get this off my chest.

Hey! Fuck you chemicalwonka! Your nuanced, slightly different opinion enrages me! We’re enemies now.

Ever heard of plastic explosives?

I don’t think value to society weighs into the equation, just the ratio of salary to ownership wealth gain.

There are bad people in the working class that are a net detriment to society, just as there are good people in the owning class that are a net benefit. Those good and bad deeds don’t change how they accrue wealth and therefore don’t change their class.

This working class isn’t a morality judgement, it’s a wealth ratio per individual.

According to Forbes, on average 60% of CEO compensation is equity. In short, I was wrong. My bad!

Working class means your primary wealth generation tool is selling your labor. The compensation plans vary widely, but I think most CEOs are earning most of their wealth through a salary vs returns on things they own.

You can hate it all you want, but that’s what working class means.

This is my biggest frustration with these posts. We might not like it, but CEOs are still working class. Most of their wealth is derived from a paycheck. They aren’t even the owning class. They’re rich AF, but they’re a symptom more than a problem.

There’s a skatepark near me that is still bumping. All ages, all times of day. There is even this guy who lives in his car that comes out an practices DJing out there. It’s an awesome little community.

Great call! Completely forgot about batteries and potato power sources!

This writeup is such an interesting perspective of social media.

It’s the medium for the human hive mind. It’s civilization’s consciousness. It’s beyond any individual’s control or comprehension, and it exists for advertising…

Honestly, fantastic explanation!

Hydro, wind, solar, and wave/tide energy capture are not.

The crazy part is photovoltaics are the only power source that doesn’t spin something to make electricity. Truly an outlier.

That doesn’t really have the same rigidity. There would be no guarantee for others that it would remain available to them as long as they adhere to those principles.

Said another way, a bad faith actor could create a patent and make it available to FOS developers, but then turn around and sell that patent to someone who will charge those same developers.

I suppose you could have a third legally binding document that stipulates the terms of use, but kinda wish it was just handled under the patent.
