Sick: Cat and dog torture videos litter Twitter, adding to concerns about moderation I do not even want to see this. Although I do want to see the people who did it convicted of animal cruelty and sentenced to death in a blender. It's bad enough when humans attack and kill other humans who can...

Sounds like Twitter's lawyers talked to Elon and reminded him that: 1. This guy just cost Rupert Murdoch $787.5M 2. Section 230 only applies to third parties 3. If Twitter signs a contract with him, he's no longer a third party, which makes Twitter liable for everything he says By getting this...

Going below 40% reduces degradation. It does not increase it.

Exactly. It's not worth the hours of my life I'd lose reading Twitter and fact checking all of the crap on there. I have better things to be doing than constantly telling stupid people that they're stupid.

I charge to 100% so I roll out of my garage with the maximum range, and I drive it until I either run out of juice or want to stop for a meal. In the San Joaquin Valley on I-5 (speeds of 85-95 mph), 120-150 miles is only about 75-90 minutes. Last road trip I did well southbound because I...

Yeah but the Model Y isn't a workhorse truck, it's a crossover and passenger vehicle. It's not suited for hauling heavy items from one farm/warehouse to another or for towing a trailer. Sure, it can tow, but it can only tow small objects (it only has a class 2 tow hitch). Try redesigning it with...

Increasing the size of the battery is really the only solution to the problem. You're discussing the energy density of the battery itself and this is why there's so much research going into making batteries that can store more energy in less mass. The latter isn't going to happen because you...

The "wardrobe malfunction" was from the halftime show, which the network had no responsibility for AFAIK. The network wouldn't have any responsibility if a fan had streaked the field during the game either. But what if a YouTube employee had said something during that broadcast that was...

YT has actually streamed live sporting events I believe. I'm not sure if it was a mirror of a TV channel or if it was its own stream, but they did so under license from the league. If something had been said in that broadcast that was defamatory, would YT be liable for it? Or maybe this hasn't...

I'm wondering what happens when, for example, YouTube live streams content from a TV channel. Or would Tucker just be liable personally for defamation? The difference between platform and publisher gets blurred if a platform is used to publish content.

So let's say this deal goes through and Tucker goes on Twitter keeps doing what he was doing at Fox. Would Twitter, and Elon Musk, be liable for defamation? Because Elon has even deeper pockets than Rupert Murdoch...

Well it looks like Twitter is trying to get into a space that's very crowded and is a smaller market than the one they formerly occupied. Does Elon really think there's enough people in the market currently occupied by Parler, Gab, etc. for a company like Twitter? Parler and Gab cater to a niche...

To be fair though, the efficiency depends on the resistance of the wiring used as well as its length. My WC is connected to the panel with about 25-30' of 4 gauge NM-B. If they used 100' of 6 gauge THWN in their test setup, they're going to see much higher resistive losses.

People buying giant trucks don't really care about efficiency any more than people buying pickups care about gas mileage. It might be considered but it's not the first priority or you wouldn't be buying a giant truck in the first place. The market for trucks is different than the market for sedans.

It's not so much about overnight charging as it is about keeping SoC set to 50% or lower for daily use to keep degradation low and needing to get up to some higher level ASAP because you decided to go on a trip on short notice. And the bigger the battery, the longer it takes. And in the future...
