Nice, makes my VW E-up look a bit outdated, but I bet it won't be as light (1160kg) or as efficient (~12Kwh/100km). Expected in 2025, interesting they announce the price so far ahe…

Fwiw, having a look on a french second hand website, most Ferraris seem to have an average yearly mileage of 3000-10000km.

Yeah, granted, this is a problem indeed. My 8 years payback time is based on off-peak charging at 0.15EUR/Kwh at home. You typically have less car ownership in cities though...

EVs are more expensive initially, but cheaper in the long run. I bought a 20k EUR EV last year (VW e-up, great car). After ~8 years it will be cheaper overall than a 10k EUR ICE ca…

I think they'd consider that out of scope, which for me is a feature rather than a bug. The project is really about providing the runtime, rather than batteries-included applicatio…

> I looked at the weight of some of these EVs and yikes 2,900 lbs for just the battery pack? 1.5 TONS? WeW. That's the weight of the Hummer battery pack though. I think around 500k…

Isn't (battery) weight a proxy for what we really care about, energy consumption per covered distance? Seems like if you'd tax the latter, manufacturers would have more options to …

So if you're stuck behind a tractor, do you also expect it to stop by the side of the road and let all traffic pass? I'm sure many farmers would disagree with you there and tell yo…

For almost all cases, this is far from true. For a typical ICE car, the manufacturing emissions tends to be around 10%-20% of the lifetime emissions the vehicle. You can see the ex…

If there is no bike lane, the only safe thing to do as a cyclist is to take the full lane, because there is not enough space for cars to safely overtake you. That won't stop some d…

So if you can't safely overtake a bicycle, you expect it to stop by the side of the road to let you pass after 20 seconds?

You can check the numbers yourself on https://climobil.connecting-project.lu , comparing the ICE and BEV version of the same car (e.g. Volkswagen e-up offers both) and choosing the…

Web push notifications are also delivered through APNS, the service worker only gets woken up once there is a notification, it doesn't poll, so that shouldn't be much different fro…

> bringing something out as open source does come with some responsibilities. No, it does not.

Reminds me of this project I saw a while ago on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hfClQh3rxM

Wouldn't this just prevent people outside of Russia to visit sites on those TLDs? DNS servers based in Russia could (be coerced to) keep all domains that this would remove?

That is shocking, and seems enough to create a run on the bank on its own.

Also, why put a backdoor in the client if the server sees pretty much every message in plaintext?

they sort of do, albeit with a custom api and requiring you to register as a developer: https://developer.apple.com/notifications/safari-push-notifi...

Thanks for your suggestions. We've just had another look at the upcoming priorities for Hydrogen and I can confirm that both of those things are planned for the not-too-far future!…
