Good concepts look good on the road. They have all the lights worked out. You’re proving the point this is a bad design. Leave it a rudimentary sketch and never building it, means it’s a bad design.
- Comment on Even the Tesla Cybertruck's Brake Lights Don't Make Sense 1 year ago:
everything about this truck is ugly, and fucked up. Just scrap it and start over.

That’s the elites, the common folk, will hate him and refuse anything he says. The trump voters.

- Comment on Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business 1 year ago:
You’re still changing the subject. That has nothing to do with the original complaint. The person starting this part of the thread I’m sure just wants a gas or diesel engine. That is all they are complaining about. You’re making it about safety, it’s valid, but off topic for the current discussion.

Absolutely false.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Nope. Youre making a mountain out of an ant hill. The company probably has to mark your pay info as confidential. It’s your personal info, if you want to share it you can, just like medical info. Unless it’s company policy to post everyone’s pay publicly. In that case, everyone’s pay would be posted, but if not, they can’t tell others, but you can.
- Comment on Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business 1 year ago:
OK, but that is a totally different topic than electric trucks are bad, which was the start of this discussion. Do I think that there should be less trucks on the road, yes. When I was younger, you didn’t own a truck unless you regularly hauled stuff in the bed, or towed stuff. Now people own them just because. But again, you have totally changed the topic here.
- Comment on Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business 1 year ago:
Sales orders say differently. Since the majority of truck owners nowadays aren’t people who use them for work, they are popular, and nothing is wrong with them. They have more power than a gas truck as well.

When they are in stock, they are selling at normal retail prices again. The stock is still only lasting for hours to days unfortunately.
- Comment on Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately 1 year ago:
Being actually fired is not at all good for his CV at that level,
He ran EA. It doesn’t matter if he retires or is fired. It’s irrelevant at that level. Everyone knows the board said you need to leave, which means being fired. The only potential difference is final compensation. Future job prospects are not changed either way for him.
- Comment on Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately 1 year ago:
It really doesn’t matter if they step down or are fired. The words are meaningless. They will still get hired to run another company.
- Comment on Toyota Will Adopt Tesla-Style Cast Bodies That Might Be Impossible to Fix 1 year ago:
Not on a unibody.
- Comment on Toyota Will Adopt Tesla-Style Cast Bodies That Might Be Impossible to Fix 1 year ago:
This is for cars and small SUVs. The trucks still have frames. The cars and small SUVs are already unibodies. Just not multi-segmented unibodies. The two differences are that its multi-segmented, and the metal is cast, instead of forged in a stamping press.
- Comment on Toyota Will Adopt Tesla-Style Cast Bodies That Might Be Impossible to Fix 1 year ago:
Not on unibody cars. There isn’t a big increase in frame area in this car versus any other unibody out there. The difference here is the unibody isn’t actually a unibody, it’s a multipart unibody that is bolted together. A standard unibody, which is just about everything on the road today that isn’t a pickup truck, is all three of those frame pieces you see in that picuture, but as one giant piece. That big piece of metal you are normally used to seeing in car assembly photos. There are no frame rails under it. The unibody being split into segments is the first real change to the unibody design since GM started using it in the 80’s.

- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
That would make sense. With business buying so many of their licenses as subscriptions anyways, especially o365. That an enterprise version designed to unlock all the features of azure ad and intune would be a subscription product is logical.

And that’s acceptable for professional use how?

- Comment on Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors 1 year ago:
The picture they show is from terrapower, the company Bill Gates funded, which is a thorium reactor. Thorium liquid salt reactors are still difficult because of the metallurgy. I believe they were supposed to fit the small modular concept though.

- Comment on Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors 1 year ago:
You do konw, that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a nuclear reactor to explode in a nuclear fission explosion, aka become a nuclear bomb. Reaching critical mass isn’t possible. Nuclear reactors can catch on fire, if built using graphite, that isn’t done anymore, or have a steam explosion. but that’s it.
- Comment on Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors 1 year ago:
Microreactors aren’t that big. The one in the picture is from terrapower, the nuclear company Gates is funding, but they aren’t that close to production. The ones that have or are close to have DOE approval, are the size of a garden shed, and can power something like a couple of neighborhoods, or a datacenter. Might need two for a datacenter. They are self-sufficient, small, clean, and take almost no hand holding.
www.energy.gov/ne/…/what-nuclear-microreactor
The article is talking about small modular reactors, which is basically taking hte micro reactor concept and scaling it just a little larger, and creating a power plant, that you can add more modules on to increase the size and power output. It’s kind of a hybrid concept between a standard power plant and a classic nuclear plant. They don’t take 10 years to build, you’re not bulding that giant containment building, because the reactors are small and easy to replace and manage. China has already done this in several places while we dwaddle and waste time being scared of old ways of thinking.
