I think that a Sinclair C5, modified to use lithium batteries could outperform that rating too. And a tram doesn't have a steering wheel too, at most a point switch remote control, and for it's intrinsic properties, having steel wheels running on steel rail instead of rubber tires on asphalt, it's more efficient than an equivalent bus.

There are a lot of people going the same place at the same time actually. Think about factories, schools, offices, and so on. With a working public transportation network you can make people have a better transportation that driving. Not all case and people are covered and for those people using a car or a mixed mode could be an option too. This is going to decrease the overall traffic, so people that must use a car have an advantage.
There is a mall near me that was built initially with a car centric idea: near the motorway exit ramps and with a giant parking lot: they subsidized two bus routes to have a stop in front of the main entrance of the mall, and hava a bur every 15 minutes, and it worked, they got more teen without diving license and older people that lost their license, but also people that have a car but they don't want to use it to only visit the mall to buy few items or to eat there.

If somebody need a classic landline phone for reason there are alternatives. I have FTTH but also a '90s touch tone phone connected to the router and a VoIP number and I could send and receive faxes if i want. They could make an offer to people that still want a landline the phone company could lay fiber and put a router with VoIP. If there's cellular coverage there are cellphones that look like landline phones if one likes it. From a technical standpoint I don't see any reason to stop landline-like services for everybody.

I think that they didn't have read anything written by a guy that was born in Trier, that talked about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, the commodity fetishism, the crysis theory and so on.
They think that communism and socialism have failed, but it's a lie thay they are telling themselves, forgettig about where all the stuff it's made now, mainland China.

I think it depends a lot on the subject but a lot more on how the people are talking about it.
I'm a bit old school so I listen to the radio quite a bit, especially live programmes where people are interwieved. So it's a bit the old version of a podcast, but being on radio they're professionally made.

Yes I think that tech compnies CEO especially those involved in AI are like Daleks with less empathy.

Maybe at the white house want to "examine" the kind of models that this song mention.

Sie ist ein Model und sie sieht gut aus
Ich nÃhm' sie heut gerne mit zu mir nach Haus
Sie wirkt so kühl, an sie kommt niemand ran
Doch vor der Kamera, da zeigt sie, was sie kann

Sie trinkt in Nachtclubs immer Sekt (Korrekt)
Und hat hier alle MÃnner abgecheckt
Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges LÃcheln strahlt
Sie sieht gut aus und SchÃnheit wird bezahlt

Sie stellt sich zur Schau für das Konsumprodukt
Und wird von Millionen Augen angeguckt
Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach fabelhaft
Ich muss sie wiederseh'n, ich weiÃY, sie hat's geschafft

The main problem now with BEV at least in Italy and for people living in apartment complex is the lack of charging point, either on public roads but also in private rented garages. If one has a box in the basement it's easy normally to have a 16A single phase socket, ask an electrician to haul a wire from the meter, then one could connect a wallbox: fast and cheap. If one wants fancier stuff like 32A three phase it's more complicated and expensive but doable. If one has a parking space in an underground parking lot it's way more difficult if not impossible.
Another thing that is a problem is that different electricity companies use different apps and stuff to use the chargers. while a fuel pump is a fuel pump and one could even pay cash.

Goblin have also published 21 studio abums, The first one was Profondo rosso and the last one as today is Four of a Kind.

Exactly. Telcos have offered for ages SIM with plans with a safe site firewall option, that are blocking the traffic to harmful sites. Add on a smartphone a local firewall controlled by the telco and the kid can't bypass it. The same service could be requested for DSL or fiber modems.
So maybe having a more advertised option about these things and then the stick of a fine to the parents if the kid is using a SIM not for kids it's going to cover most of the cases.
Of course nothing could stop a horny teen to trade usb sticks with all the movie made by John Holmes with one with all the movies with Ilona Staller. So the other, more effective, thing to do it's education.
The other solution is having schools teach the traps of social media and all the risks that lure in the internet. And yes that skin flicks are movies of fiction and not documentaries.

I'm not so sure about the importance of Tesla first demonstrating that the EV market was larger than believed, but it was more about the battery technology evolution. EV1 and before the Fiat Panda Elettra had the problem that lead acid and NiCd batteries aren't very energy dense. Now there are batteries that are cheaper and more energy dense, so battery electric vehicles are feasible now. BYD was originally a battery maker, not a car maker.
The car world had a big problem now. Cars are now bigger and heavy in the form typically of a SUV, expensive with some questionable UX choices. Some BEV being older projects still have sensible dashboards, while newer platforms are all having a giant cellphone bolted on it. When some car maker will make a small, affordable BEV with more reasonable dashboards and a 400-500 km range, they are going to switch to an electric vehicle.

In the old days you had a lot of programs running on MSDOS for running ax.25, there was also NOS that was an userspace subsytem to enapsulate tcp/ip with ax.25 packets and also work as as a digipeater. And it was a pain to configure and use.
Not that using the linux kernel drivers was easy, but at least the systems were reliable.
I think it could be a problem if a linux kernel is used on an embedded platform, maybe a Raspberry PI or similar ones, more than use them on a desktop system.

The difference is the speed of jobs disappearing and that they aren't transforming on other jobs. Horse driven trams were used in 1870s. First generation electric trams were made in 1900 and everybody was happy, even the workers because horse drawn trams were a big compromise. Second generation trams were longer and had a glasses in front of them because weight wasn't a problem anymore because electric motors are more powerful than horses. Third generation become longer because bogies were invented in the 1930 and in USA were used wit the PCC types, with other innovations. After WWII the tram declined in usage because diesel bus become more reliable and at the time cheap to operate.
At the end the technology evolution was slow and jobs changed slowly. It was easy to learn to drive a bus for a tram driver, and in some cities the tram network survived to today. Being able to riding an horse isn't useful to drive a tram built in 2025, but I've seen that trams survived from 1950s used for the tram driving school first lessons.
What is happening with AI is the rapid pace and the missing job substitution and also the cut of workforce is making a less desiderable result. It's like the public transport company to reduce expenses fires almost all the drivers and the mechanics, and then reduces the service with one bus at hour and the bus is filled with screens displaying ads, but the pass price is increased.

Less awful companies can't compete because awful companies are enabled to do awful things, because they are buddies with the legislators they meet in some island where they made another kind of awful things.
Conglomeration could happen because anti monopoly laws were lifted in the '80s. If in the USA one need basically to have a work to have health coverage it's because insurance companies are thriving on it and are bribing the lawmakers.

Ford for some reason, at least in Europe and Great Britain stopped to make the cars that were selling most. Namely the Ford Fiesta and then the Mondeo. Or when they called a compact crossover Ford Puma, and it's so ugly that a Chinese crossover is more stylish.
Not that Stellantis it's doing better stuff, but at least it's continuing to make and sell the Panda Mk IV but also is making the Grand Panda that is another Peugeot 208. Maybe because it's the only model selling well, maybe because the remaining engineers in Turin could explain the Roman Quadrilateral driving experience and that a small and possibly cheap car it's a good idea.
