The article doesn’t whiff on this, it lays out why it’s too expensive.

1. The strategy was to replace gas cars with EV 1-to-1 to solve the climate crisis and save the car industry.
2. Gas cars have gotten bigger over the years because of marketing, bravado, “safety”, and regulation-skirting.
3. EV-makers have largely bought into that and made all these huge EVs.
4. Huge EVs require bigger batteries which are more expensive in raw materials and manufacturing.
5. Huge batteries are heavy and dangerous.
6. Range anxiety has encouraged even more oversized batteries on already oversized cars.
7. Huge batteries are the main source of cost, meaning EVs end up being a luxury.

So, yes–they are too damn expensive, however a vehicle that meets our actual needs wouldn’t be, if it existed in North America.

The headline was the tip of the iceberg. What a fascinating article. Jumps from homosexuality is “unnatural” to it somehow eroding the foundations of our democracy!

Favorite unhinged quote:

Homosexual relationships are inherently unnatural… ultimately harmful and costly for everyone.

I want “ultimately harmful and costly for everyone” on a t-shirt.

I’ve had it at my job for a year and a half, it started after the Great Resignation took like half of our good staff.

The main problem is that it’s used as a scapegoat against any other improvement, e.g. hiring more folks, paying more wages, better benefits. Granted, I’d choose 4dww above a lot of those things, but it doesn’t feel nice that there’s a threat to lose it.

I did not see the last sentence of your comment coming. Caught me by surprise.

You can edit the title. Maybe

Signal fights disinformation about fake zero-day vulnerability

I would probably recommend “Just JavaScript” as a way to develop mental models of JS, then the TypeScript handbook to learn the core principles behind typings.

Not what you asked for, sorry, but probably where I’d start.

“Never got a straight answer” would have been perfect.

Bright Eyes released the albums “Digital Ash in a Digital Urn” and “I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning” on the same day. They sort of answer this question where you can tell the artist was split on two different creative strands.

Inaction against intolerance is a form of action, is it not? “Bee kind” is not just a call to not be mean, it’s a call to act in kindness.

I believe the poster is probably right in that it stirs more toward fostering acceptance rather than simply ignoring hate.

It’s not compelled speech, per se—Beehaw users need to have an active role in order to make it the kind of place people want to bee.

Would love an invite. I have wanted to dip my toes into private trackers for years.
