Comment In other words how to ban TikTok (Score 1) 132

There was nothing about the original Net Neutrality regulation that opened the internet and made access more equal. The whole scheme is about allowing the FCC to regulate the content of the internet and giving government more power to try and regulate speech on the internet. It's about trying to do to the internet what they did to the airwaves.

Comment Re:So what's the accomplishment? (Score 1, Insightful) 111

Kind of useless actually.

It's a university research project. It isn't supposed to be useful.

They why is it a "World Record for EV distance"? With self selected parameters like 170 kg and extremely low drag and no driver it's not an EV, it's a test platform at best. Comparing it to any actual EV is ridiculous. The real story is the motor and components. The drag confident is meaningless at this scale. I'd rather see standardization on using a 1 x 2 meter box with 4 wheels as the test bed for the motor and controller tech.

Difficult to grasp how anyone things your comment is an insightful. At best it's simple authoritarianism just like those what want to ban TicToc in the first place. It also shows a complete lack of understanding of security. The well being of your employees is significantly important and pissing them off is a sure way to end up with a security breach.

Comment /. Goes wild in favor of online censorship (Score 1) 142

That's the real news here. That so many on this board think it's quite grand that the Government should have free rein to define what "harm" on the whims of the mob. They all want anti-vaxers silenced but have no problem letting the misinformation of anti-GMO nonsense prevail. Jail the Climate Deniers because they are going to flood NYC because of their Denialism. Government can not be allowed to prevent speech because someone else thinks it's harmful. Right Christians and Left Feminists all think children are being scooped up into underground porn exploitation all because of Twitter. They say it's pervasive without providing any backing documentation. It's the fucking Satanic Panic and Moral Majority all over again.

Comment 1970's mail-order guns (Score 1) 462

You could mail-order a WWII Sten submachine gun from an add in the back of a magazine in the 1970's for less than $20 (about $160US today). No license no registration.Gun violence is actually lower today then back then even so there weren't mass killings using submachine guns back then either.

Comment More urban thinking (Score 2) 613

This whole scheme only works for urbanites already making enough to afford a long range EV. For 50% of the country they don't even make enough to afford a new car of any kind, EV or ICE. 60% can't afford an EV. A large percentage of this group live outside of the dense urban environment that practical for short range EVs. These people also make 3 or 4 trips a year well over 400 miles one way to visit family or vacation spots. The current EV market is out of reach and totally impractical for these people.

Comment Re: Bad optics (Score 1) 414

Just curious where you draw the line at Government controlling speech? The misinformation about sugar, cholesterol, GMOs and many many more things are pervasive online. So should Government shut them down? We were prevented, by Government interference, from publicly discussing the "Lab Leak Theory" on Twitter and Facebook. The evidence is pointing to that being the likely source of the pandemic. The Hunter Biden laptop story was actively suppressed by the government yet it was a real event and the contest of the laptop were truly his.

I may be misunderstanding but they say

"We assume a temperature of 25 C and a pressure of 1 atm when converting between true concentrations and molar mixing ratios, which yields the conversion 1 ppbv benzene = 3.19 g benzene m–3."

There tested upper bound of 12.5 micro grams would translate to about 0.004 PPMV which is well below the 1 PPM most safety orgs start to take notice and say you should do something.

Additionally there was no ventilation in these test and no real world conditions tested
