Comment Re:This will not safeguard private data (Score 2) 38

If that's your standard for those emails with confidentiality statements (they are not disclaimers), you already have a problem because your device and maybe email provider already read them to determine if they are spam. Also, unless the email body has been encrypted, they've been sat in SMTP server queues in plain text where nefarious people could read them.

Those "disclaimers" aren't really worth anything.

Comment Re:And how is Linus qualified to comment? (Score 1) 73

Microkernels are a great idea, but they need better hardware support (literally different architectural decisions) to work optimally. They can be made to work on modern CPUs, but they're never going to be great there. This presents a chicken/egg problem because nobody is going to invest a billion dollars making a new kind of CPU for an OS that doesn't yet exist.

Where I live, public chargers charge upwards of 80 cents/kWh. If you assume an efficiency of 16kwh/100km, that's 12.80/100km. Really not much (if any) cheaper than gas for an efficient car.

Home charging is where you save money.

To be fair, people in the gig economy don't tend to be good with math.
