Better check what crypto.js is actually doing in your exact setup. Weak polyfills exist...

These large trucks must go. While the mentioned numbers make some economic sense (cost per tonne transported etc.), the road wear is excessive due to the fourth power law. Most car…

Haters will say a major factor in still using Perl is the difficulty to replace up to 25+ years old Perl code written at startup pace AND the difficulty to teach old Perl devs a ne…

The domain was a gift by the founders of inode (former Austrian ISP) and the website grew pretty fast after the brand change in 1999. But it curiously turned out that while Austria…

I won't complain about this new world of "algorithmic desire" because my desires provide me with interesting and enjoyable content (none of Mr. Beast). Perhaps the problem isn't th…

It's pretty evil to troll people into giving them e-mail and name and then have the audacity to ask for a phone number. Without giving people who don't want that the possibility to…

> That is very far from the truth - please check the recent events You are forgetting or ignoring Russia's bigger guns. If Russia wanted to use NATO methods, it would be over in on…

Putting NATO soldiers on the ground is equivalent to declaring WW3, few are willing to do that. Therefore, Ukraine's fate is sealed and the outcome is dictated by Russia's desires.…

AI-generated media in general will likely plunge us into a new dark age. Every report you see on the news, every "secret recording" of a politician doing something dodgy, will be e…

Someone should build stackable, pluggable shipping containers with a battery in the floor, to power both container ships and trucks. Tesla?

> I bet if you correct for the effect of GDP per capita, they will rank near the bottom among European countries too. If you start correcting for other variables, you'll have to lo…

Danes still own as many cars as everyone else, it's not really an outlier and the number of cars per capita is growing. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/road_eqs_carh…

Bicycles compete with public transport, not cars. Also: > The Vehicles per 1000 people of Denmark is similar to that of United Kingdom, Qatar, Czech Republic, Estonia, Ireland, Dom…

I'm actually surprised that parasitic infection rate with native parasites (where humans aren't an accidental host) was so low at 30% or less. That would mean the existing treatmen…

And still you're typing repetitive text. My dad was punching cards and able to read code from punched tape. I grew up writing code on a home computer's display. And now, 35 years l…

This will just make rents more expensive.

The whole idea of a "scientific consensus" is flawed as it's being used. Here, DM is the dominant theory in the scientific community at this time, but there are strong arguments ag…

As GDP includes earnings from investments in foreign countries (which at least Germany does plenty of), this is a somewhat moot point.

> Can we get that below 10 for regular highway driving, say at 130km/h? Probably not with normal-sized cars. For the Model 3, the theoretical minimum is 13.8 kW. This increases lin…

From my perspective as someone who wrote and moderated his own NIH forum in 2000 - still in use today - the main reasons for the slow decline in usage both by users and publishers …

> Nobody would care about the slipped FSD timelines if they hadn’t paid for it. Tesla’s mistake was charging for it. I paid for it (€2500 or 3000 I don't remember) and I'm not stre…

My point is that the tone of the article is "the company is doomed" when all that is doomed is perhaps the previous high stock valuation.

I don't really understand the tone of this article. Estimates are that they lost 1% of subscribers in Q2 while stock price is down 70% this year. Are they going broke? Apparently n…

> and they are just becoming one of the 50 EV car makers out there. The Model Y was recently the best-selling car regardless of technology (i.e. overall best-selling passenger car)…
