Comment PUT attack? (Score 1) 70

So how long before someone takes advantage of this information to do a PUT attack (or a Distributed PUT attack?) on some businessâ(TM)s bucket, causing them thousands of dollars in expenses?

This should not be possible, with PUTs being be restricted by default, with only authorised or unprotected PUTs being charged.

H2 requires a constant reliable base load like nuclear power, if not, you get explosions. It also requires expensive metals to do reliably.

H2 is probably the future in the long term but it requires a lot more development and investment which is currently consumed by short term solutions like EV and solar.

Other than for industrial vehicles, I’m not seeing any indication that H2 infrastructure costs are coming down or the conversion losses being properly addressed?

There are a lot of good things about the Vision Pro, but in reality the price puts it in the realm of early adopters and businesses with a specific need.

Despite the issues, Apple got some real feedback, in a way lab testing would not have revealed. I am feeling hopeful that theyâ(TM)ll take what they learnt and make something even better. I say this based on experiences like the iPod, the iPad and the iPhone, which while not immediate successes did far better than the alternatives.

"At the same time, H2 is really just another type of battery"

No. It works completely different from a chemical cell, which is what people mean when they say battery.

Maybe a bad choice of words, but invariably the car's propulsion is electric. Whether a traditional battery or a fuel cell, it is form of energy storage for what is otherwise an electric car.

I get that people want to wear their politics on their sleeves and complain that their gigantic multinational employer does business with X, but ultimately you work somewhere and if you disturb the peace, you are going to be fired.

This is the truth. Unless you are shareholder or part of the executive, you are there to perform a job requested of you. Also, unless you are working for a cooperative, a business is typically a dictatorship by default. If you don't like it, then get out (there are other jobs out there), or put up.

Makes me think how Tesla went out and built their own charging network, along with integrating the charge locations into the navigation system.

At the same time, H2 is really just another type of battery, so as battery technology gets better I’d suspect H2 would become less interesting. We should also remember H2, is likely produced either from oil & gas or from electricity, so we need to add a conversion loss to the equation.

By threatening the news sites in this way they are demonstrating that they are a monopoly.

Possibly, but it also demonstrates the news sites haven’t worked out a business model that works without Google. So, if they are dependent on Google, it’s either an equivalent exchange or they should be paying Google? Right now neither entities are paying each other.
