- Comment on Aptera’s production-intent solar EV completed its first road trip traversing over 300 miles 4 weeks ago:
I’ve owned several recumbent trikes like that one, all of which lifted the inner wheel in sporty driving below my preferred speed.
At which sideways acceleration will Aptera roll over? A heavy battery between the front wheels will help somewhat.

“Millions” is cheap in car making. It buys you just enough design for manufacturability to make it good enough and cheap enough for people to buy.
Less design -> worse result while more expensive to produce. Example: Podbike (I like it, but the price)

Then register it to the next vehicle class, semi-light or whatever. Have the lawmakers fit the laws to the optimal vehicle designs with 2025 technology. How old is the law with the weight limits? Time to update and fit law to existing reality? Isn’t it tradition to have the industry write the laws that apply to itself? Aptera is industry.
If the weight limit were to be adhered to, then the four-wheeler’s structure would have to be redesigned around lighter engineering.

That law is lawfare from the traditional car industry and has to be changed. Aptera is stupid shooting itself in the foot with a three-wheeler instead of making a good, light, illegal car and attacking the law with it.

I’ll start respecting it the moment they add the fourth wheel.

Increased blood lead level in children has been correlated with decreases in intelligence, nonverbal reasoning, short-term memory, attention, reading and arithmetic ability, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and social engagement. … The effect of lead on children’s cognitive abilities takes place at very low levels.
High blood lead levels in adults are also associated with decreases in cognitive performance and with psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

- Comment on Does anyone have any good introductory, Fediverse infographics I could share? 1 month ago:
Who made this? I’d like it if it said Matrix is federated, Signal is not. Meta should be clearly grouped together. Aren’t there other alternatives to Reddit than Lemmy, so there should be more arrows going out of Reddit?
Something should be said about fringe servers (I’d never say “instance” except “server = instance”) and defederation both ways being common, so your home server choice matters. The email comparison is broken and should include “in principle” and then continue with “in practice [real situation]”. This is a start:
I like the yellow bubble here, but it’s inaccurate in many ways:
The infograph we’re looking for should also say at least:
- Censorship is done by server administrators and community moderators, but (on Lemmy at least) posting community censors you, not your home server.
- Your votes are public, you can be tracked, but it’s not done by default.
- On Lemmy, you shape your default firehose (‘all’) feed by muting (users, communities, servers), not by following. A normal person will have to mute tens of communities for the feed to start looking tolerable. This is one of the many prices of freedom you will have to pay, as are bugs and user experience issues.

- Comment on Tinder-alternatives for the Fediverse 2 months ago:
Let’s not clone trash. Tinder sucks because it has no matching mechanism to filter out incompatible people. To find one interesting profile on Tinder I have to swipe about 500 profiles. To get more matches, I risk some false positives and like ~2% of profiles. Then I need to filter the matches in person. Very inefficient, a waste of time.
The opposite of that was OkCupid before Match Group destroyed it.

No. We’ve only scratched the surface of computer-aided collaboration.

My industry and career are standing still with extreme potential to improve humanity.

You shouldn’t be paying any form of investor to pretend they can see into the future.
True, usually index funds outperform active investors, but there are special cases (third point below):
cnbc.com/…/heres-when-active-mutual-funds-tend-to…- Investors generally fare better in index mutual funds and exchange-traded funds versus their actively managed counterparts.
- The average investor pays about five times more to own an active fund relative to an index fund. This makes it tougher for active funds to outperform index funds, after fees.
- However, the lowest-cost active funds tend to beat the average index fund in categories like junk bonds, foreign stock and global real estate. - … A company isn’t affected by whether a fund invests or does not invest in them.
False. When you buy existing shares, they’ll see the increased demand and issue more shares, making more money from investors after you. Same as when you buy a stolen item, the thief reacts to increased demand by stealing another one.
… responsible funds are just for show …
Those “responsible” ESG-labeled funds (Environmental, Social And Governance) are too lax for modern investors’ thirst for good. We need tighter criteria. Someone here said tailored ethical funds exist: lemmy.world/comment/15070231
… donate the money to charities instead.
Good, but unsustainable. You can grow power by growing money in benefit corporations, such as Mozilla.
- Comment on Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption 2 months ago:
Not all places did:
Some sites/apps had filters to hide low effort people.
Some had strict rules that were enforced, so even if you were clueless coming in, you would upskill fast while using it.
Some had a good onboarding course maing upskilling a breeze. - Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
The activity can be limited: Once in about 5 years, buy a diversified portfolio of 30 companies in at least 10 countries on at least 2 continents in at least 3 unrelated industries, and forget for 5 years. It’s easy nowadays through many banks’ websites. Maybe prefer to buy in a depression and sell on a bubble if you’re feeling extra active.
Between stock sprees, save into a regular savings account.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I think the most ethical thing to do is to help the most ethical companies trying to stay clean in a dirty economy. Surely there are good-enough ones in all countries and sectors. Makers of wind turbines, solar panels, batteries, cable, bicycles, electric vehicles (trains and trams!), etc. ASML, TSMC, Tuxedo, Fairphone, etc.
