They should almost just make it so the blaze plan of firebase or other cloud services has a $1 non refundable pre-payment so they can just whittle away at the pennies instead of getting charged processing/transaction fees on a $0.01 transaction. Tops up to $1 if it goes to $0
I think people would pay $1 to enable the paid plans. If you’re going that far, you’re getting $1 of use out of it.
I’ve had Google charge me $0.01 before for firebase usage.
They really should have waited until I owed more since that cost them money.
I’d never even heard of this before. Wtf
It’s a invite only alpha and as I write this it’s #7 on the steam rankings of current players, 6 if you wanna exclude Banana which is it’s own hilarious thing
Dota 2 is #2 and has 565k right now
I’ve always enjoyed this video to give a perspective on size
I usually increase playback speed, it’s a bit slow at start.
Starlink and low-orbit sats for internet coverage are a similar leap ahead in cost and speed to deploy. Elon and his goons saw it coming long before anyone else did, and the fact they also have Space X was a pretty key part of their speed to deploy.
Starlink was SpaceXs solution to having a reusable first stage rocket and not enough demand for all the flights they could now do.
They basically poured billions into perfecting reuse, and had to find a way to make money on the new but upfront costly capabilities so they came up with starlink.
Edit: it also gave them a safer way to more easily test flight proven rockets with what was at the time more weary customers of the tech. For awhile NASA still wanted new rockets, but then became fine with flight proven as all the extra flights showed it was okay.
Had the feds hinted they’d interfere in the railway one?
AFAIK merch is often bigger than concerts for the non big names. Local bars etc
Won’t the sail approach the speed of light if it stays on course in line with the sun for an exceptionally long time?

Kinda defeats the purpose of doing it private and local.
I wouldn’t trust any claims a 3rd party service makes with regards to being private.
The conversation was concerns about what China can do to the cars, but China is also concerned about what other manufactures can do with their cars. The concern goes both ways, it’s not just the west afraid of china. The concern about these highly connected cars is legitimate for everyone on both sides.
I believe now that Tesla stores the data in China that some of that has been relaxed.
I looked it up once and the average Canadian/USA commute (at least in non winter weather) can be done on a 120v 5-15 outlet.
Harsher winters would probably need the 5-20 outlets (or indoor parking) to maintain that level though.
Edit: and ya having charging at work would make the winters better as it adds an extra 8 hours of charging you’d lose otherwise.
I don’t know about other manufactures, but on a LR Tesla you’ll get 7km/h. I think 10 would probably be pushing it for others, but that’s where the NEMA 5-20 with 20amp wiring (which is common practice now) would make the big difference.
The boat has sailed on that one unfortunately.
Safety requirements outright demand these things nowadays, and these safety things do save lives, of the occupants, pedestrians, and the other vehicles involved in the crash.
Even the Chinese government is wary of US based manufactures having their cars near sensitive areas because of all the cameras. Tesla had to ensure that all the data was stored in and didn’t leave a facility based in China before they allowed the cars to be in those areas.
It’s a legit problem for every country. It’s possible other countries might require the same.
I don’t know what the current laws are in each province, but we if we don’t have them yet, we really need new laws that require
Apartments/Condo’s to install chargers if paid for by the renter/owner. This is obviously less ideal for apartments, and more about condo’s, but it becomes a start for apartments as well. You could install a plug (not a charger) at an apartment and use your own charger which would at least reduce costs if you were going to stay a long time and weren’t worried about being evicted for some reason.
New builds must have at least X amount of 120v outlets available for parking spots at a bare minimum. Make them NEMA 5-20 outlets which give a few more amps and can charger the cars a little bit faster (10-12km/h vs 6-8km/h), but will also work with regular 5-15 plugs. Ideally, also require some 30amp or 50amp plugs, but we gotta start somewhere at least.
400k here won’t even buy you a tear down SFH here on the west coast.
So, I tried to watch it…
The non English parts with the aliens wouldn’t show the subtitles no matter what I did.
I wasn’t the only one having that trouble
Wtf am i going to watch something where I can’t understand important scenes?
They’re bigger so it’s hard to know, but it’s usually something like 2.9% + 10c a transaction.
At their scale though who knows
