87%? I'm not sure if his minions just failed to properly steal the election or if they failed to properly hide they were stealing the election. I feel like that number should be either much higher or lower ... I mean we all know it wasn't a real election, so it's not like he'd be fooling anyone...

Even implemented on such a platform, I imagine that overall efficiency (power consumed vs power hitting target) would likely favor a few devices mounted along the platform, crossing their streams so to speak, versus one big device. Unless perhaps the one big device was a bunch of smaller devices...

The concept of HERF guns has been around on the Internet for a long time. I remember reading about people trying to DIY them in the late 90's on some early websites, along with other such fun topics as railguns. Simple in concept, there are many hacky (and questionably executed) examples...

If that really happened you can bet they set up more than one and are ready to switch the registration as soon as the union catches on and adds it to the strike :D

I'm amused how surprised they are that "only" less than 2/3 of management think Tesla should possibly (yes+maybe) be coerced into a similar agreement to the one other companies already labor under. When from my point of view, I'm surprised that nearly half are definitely for forcing the issue...

At this point, can we skip v13? No need to borrow perceived trouble...

I am somewhat darkly amused by the concept of the Pope (apparently) supporting Russia since ostensibly, Russia (or rather, the Russian Orthodox church) wouldn't recognize the Pope's authority ... Sadly, seems about par for the course for "unlikely" "allies" of Russia, honestly.

What if Ukraine grants some conveniently placed and shaped territory as an Embassy (making it legally French territory, in theory) right in the line of advance without giving Russia time to communicate the change before the Russian units cross into it, would that trigger it? Actually come to...

That's gotta be hard on the tire shoulders and sidewalls, seems most of that climb was using the shoulders and sidewalls for traction and not the usual area of the tire.

Might be dozens serially rather than at once, if they kept sending spies to replace spies

With this single data point, it's possible that it's the 3rd party's charging system that ran into thermal limits, too. We'd need to see a different result from some other 800v vehicle on the same system (and in similar weather), to be sure which was the limit.

Clearly the solution to the recent Berlin issue is MOAR MEGAPACKS. If they have enough to run the plant for a few days without outside power, and provide grid services the rest of the time, then the "activists" will have to go really big or go home. :D (/s : Yes, obviously having enough for...

Lol you know who is a Russian shill when they act like the war continuing is worse for the "demographics" of Ukraine than surrendering to Russia would be.

Could an amicus brief have been submitted to the case, or is there something special about it that would prevent that? If so, why didn't we collectively get on board with one? Similarly, can we do so with the inevitable appeal? Sign me up! Hell I'm a bit player compared to the numbers thrown...

What if Tesla just did "small" regularly scheduled buybacks every month, like 2500 shares (wouldn't hit 1 million a month in cost until back at ATH)? Would that be enough to screw with the shorts? It wouldn't impact the forward cash flow in any significant way.

It's probably not so much the forum eats spaces but that it doesn't convert extra spaces to the magic HTML element " " - this is default web browser behavior with multiple spaces being collapsed into one and has been for decades.

I would expect that Dojo chips are unlikely to shrink much due to large amount of IO pads along the edges of the die, so unless there's a large gain in power efficiency they won't bother to move it to a new node any time soon as the resulting chips wouldn't actually get much smaller (so the cost...

Could also be a peak number, and then a bunch decided to go back to work and thus by the time Tesla provided a number, the number striking was lower than this report?

"They" (IF Metal?) will be reviewing which plates are allowed to be repaired? Sounds like a privacy issue, the sort of thing that doesn't fly in EU areas generally... someone should make a stink about that.

In this case the risk is only temporary as shipping must take a longer route. Short of much larger scale warfare, a one time delay is the most that could be inflicted. I find it more surprising that without houthi actions they might have had no delays, considering how far the supply chain had...

Correct on the 'hopping' typo, the danger of replying from my phone. What I meant by "but they've offered anything different" was that IF Metall has tried something different, even if it's still self serving and bad for Tesla if they actually accepted it, versus Tesla stone walling them still...

Sure, but they've offered anything different, while Tesla hasn't budged. I think I know which one is more desperate. I wouldn't be surprised to see them start throwing different self serving things at the wall hopping one sticks.

Ultimately only the stampings around the firewall and casting (and possibly removing some stampings entirely if the casting gets larger and subsumes some of them) would need to change, probably, as far as those things go. Small chance they revamp some other stampings to change cable or bracket...

If they're suddenly suggesting compromises, to me that means they're getting closer to capitulation :D

Do we know that, or is this just assumed due to the existing adapter not fitting on CT meaning they intend not to support CCS to include not supporting NACS? It's not impossible that the necessary software and hardware is already there for NACS (CCS) even if currently there's no way to use it...

Noah may be happy with this move, after all, how many opportunities are there for this sort of position? And there's nothing saying he can't swap back and forth as new projects or the need for his skills dictate. If he's so valuable that "poaching" would be a true concern, then keeping him happy...

From the Wizard of Id, this classic is also relevant :D

Forget rain fade interrupting signal, Starlink has the far superior (and internet relevant) cat fade.

Abrams non export armor uses depleted uranium, and there's some law that keeps us from selling tanks with that to anyone. Not sure the specifics of the law, probably not even weapons related directly but due to the nature of it being DU. Clearly we had no problems deploying them overseas when...

In order to avoid billionaire door syndrome, I had a thought recently of maybe doing something similar to the side doors on a minivan. That way they can still open in a small space, and possibly even be longer than you'd normally expect for a small car (i.e. if there's a larger frunk and no...

I imagine that if they clearly refused hiring based on potential employees political leanings, that would have been an even bigger arrow in the unions' quiver

My guess is that it's mostly the former, but probably one or two of the latter.

Even if those 13 would normally be protected, I figure there's an argument to be made that if you go on strike long enough, that protection should cease. Not sure whether there's any legal basis to allow it, but it's unreasonable that a company must continue to employee someone who has been...

I'm curious about these claims about IP and NDA. I bet they're perfectly normal tech company stuff, but it's hard to tell with machine translation. They're upset about "lifetime NDA"? Obviously if you can't talk about it you can't talk about it. The NDA doesn't go away if you leave the company...

The Leno's Garage video finally points out where the 48V power connection is for the light bar, I had assumed that was just a receptacle for cargo rack mounting. The wiring hidden under the door is tiny thanks to 48V, for the power level it's supposed to provide.

The Houthi shipping thing is crazy. I'm just wondering how long it takes before someone decides to resurrect Q-ships as a thing.

USS may be very precise that something is X distance from the sensor, but the directionality is not so precise. Assuming the vision system's accuracy isn't garbage, I'd rather give up a small amount of accuracy in distance to gain accuracy in location of objects. I'm not trying to zero-zero...

*clutches pearls* how dare they work around our impossibly effective and questionably legal tactics!

Orban, the impediment, got his 10B bribe to STFU. Hopefully if he pulls a fast one and still blocks Ukraine, they can rescind his bribe. The bribe was originally going to be not a bribe, but then it was withheld as punishment for being Putler's lap dog back sliding in regards to freedom and...

Written permission to use a forklift? Is this poor translation of having a license or similar, or is union bs so codified in law that you need written permission to use a forklift? That sounds like the sort of nonsense that happens when you can't move a table in your expo booth, but have to go...

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure in that Munro video they called out using a standard connector. Plus getting gigabit on single pair is not easy.

Previously it had been discussed as a theoretical option since 48v is within the PoE power range, I wasn't proposing that this is what ended up happening (as we now have real info)

At first I thought they were moving all the DACs/ADCs all the way out to where the actual speakers/microphones were, but it sounds like (pun not intended) that instead they moved from the ICE unit to the nearest etherloop stop, as for example the left front body unit that was shown, which seemed...

Ship some of those RC Cybertrucks to Sweden, vertically integrate trash hauling.

I'd be fine with a little mild McCarthyism...

It would be interesting if they could come up with some method of wrapping panels before they're attached to the car, with an automated process, and if so would the total cost of wrapped steel panels (including more complicated handling before install) be cheaper than paint? Might or might not...

At the very least, Postnord should be required to allow Tesla to show up and pick up their mail themselves. Though that might have issues if Postnord accepts mail for delivery at all locations and don't route the mail at all, Tesla would have to run all over the place to pick up the mail. If it...

I've been using a Samsung BAR (or maybe BAR plus) for years, ever since dashcam function was added to my 2018 model 3. Never had issues with it or had to replace it. I think it's a 32gb or 64gb model, I don't remember. I keep my music on a separate flash drive. (Both connected through small USB...

Re: SpaceX injury rates and "industry averages" I recall this was posted to the SpaceX Reddit when the article was first published and I don't recall specifics but various comments pointed out that comparing SpaceX to someplace like Boeing or such (i.e. aerospace industry) currently didn't make...

Probably a more useful usage of government meddling in EV charging would be doing something to smooth the process of permitting and or acquiring real estate for the networks. I don't know what specifically would help, but from what I've heard second hand those seem to be the main roadblocks to...
