You clearly haven’t read the article. If you do, it’s quite obvious that this is a prototype implementation - essentially a proof-of-concept.

Maxing at 255-260 was almost certainly the speed governor. Most German cars come with a 155-160mph limit from the factory. You can remove it, but rentals absolutely will leave it in place.
- Comment on Unshittification: 3 tech companies that recently made my life… better 1 day ago:
I’m just hoping a VC firm doesn’t come along and hostile takeover them at some point, because that would be the death knell.

- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 week ago:
In the context of engineering and technology: it’s a broader issue. It’s a matter of engineers either refusing to accept responsibility and accountability around the systems they build and the societal effects they have, or failing that, the companies that said engineers work for preventing them from doing so because profitability.
- Comment on FBI warnings are true—fake file converters do push malware 1 week ago:
I tend to just whip up a script of some sort that employs widely used libraries for the conversion. I know that’s more technical than most people would have the tolerance or aptitude for, but for me, it’s the least ambiguous and most secure way to do stuff like that. And then I can squirrel it away in a utility scripts directory and use it later if I need it again.

- Comment on Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"? 1 week ago:
If you’re not a US citizen - in fact, if you’re not a natural-born US citizen, seriously consider whether you want to go at all. There’s a significantly higher chance they’ll stick you on a plane somewhere and ignore much or all of the bureaucracy that was intended to prevent systemic abuses like this in the past.

Filthy casuals using ChatGPT as a crutch to feel lonely. Just get some clinical grade depression like a real man.
- Comment on "Americans can't coo-" 2 weeks ago:
Disagree. The can and brand matters for a fully authentic version.
You can do an elevated version that uses haricots vert and fried onions and homemade cream of mushroom made with shiitakes or chanterelles or something, but that’s kinda a different dish.
- Comment on "Americans can't coo-" 2 weeks ago:
My point is it’s not that. It’s the can.

Talking about applying a bit of ultraviolence to the fascists
- Comment on "Americans can't coo-" 2 weeks ago:
For non-unitedstatesians: “French Onions” does not refer to the nationalty of the alliums, or the manner in which they’re cooked. They come from a can:
~(they~ ~were~ ~put~ ~there~ ~by~ ~a~ ~man)~
- Comment on I'm an American software developer and the "broligarchs" don't speak for me - ratfactor 2 weeks ago:
I just wanna build cool shit and solve puzzles using the smallest amount of code possible that still makes sense to read. That’s fun to me. I’ve honestly gotten incredibly sick of renting by brain out to people for the majority of my waking hours mostly just to put a roof over my head.

- Comment on How much of a risk is it for naturalized US Citizens (or those with Derivative Citizenship) to protest against the US government, compared to the risks of natural-born US Citizens doing the same? 2 weeks ago:
Right now, I’d say absolutely don’t do it. Especially don’t do it if you live in a red state, or are in/near one of the “flashpoint” areas/institutions that are making splashy headlines now.
It’s fucked up, but that’s pragmatic advice. If you cannot deal with the possibility of being illegally detained and deported with zero recourse, you really do need to keep your head down right now, regardless of your skin color… but at the same time, be doubly careful if you’re not white.
I can’t believe I’m writing this about the United States.
