    I love how they list refueling only taking 5 minutes from anywhere, but they leave out that you can't refuel at home. The EV side should be updated to say refueling time is zero be…

    I don't see the big deal. If it was 100 years ago, then the name, perhaps, is effectively new.

    lobste.rs, quite literally, allows you to filter the entire site by tags, so you only see what you want to see. I wish more sites did this.

    Thanks for this, it made me actually read the posted content, but there's a lot of content to digest and a lot MTAs will have to implement.

    > The lights gently recede when switched off, perserving the purity of the form Wow. It's a Ferrari and the top things about the car is how the lights shut off. Way to go Ferrari.

    It's a new frontier and people have not targeted it yet?

    Neat stuff, but this is not going to easily run the vast majority of open source software out there.
