  • Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations | The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can't make its operations work here.

  • No they've just been subsidizing an inferior technology (batteries might be better if we had room temperature superconductors, plus the hurdles for hydrogen are so much smaller and it doesn't rely on digging hundreds of millions of tons of rare earth metals out of the ground just to replace all the vehicles on the road today)

  • It's the banks problem, to be frank. If you're in the US, your liability for fraud is capped by law at $50 per card.

  • Hawaii rules against public carrying of guns without permit citing ‘aloha spirit’

  • There's Shall Issue and there's "Shall Issue". Where I live (Bay area) it's 18 months wait and about $2,000 in fees including a state appointed psychiatrist who asks questions all of which have obvious correct answers. I think you need a coworker (specifically a coworker) to write a reference letter too. Also there's a separate law saying you cannot carry in most places, basically rendering the permit useless.

    I'm not sure what Hawaii was doing but basically all the blue states have some flavor of this, where in the past your kids just had to go to the same school at the sheriff's or you had to be an executive at a company or a celebrity and you got to carry anywhere you liked. At least now the same rules apply to everyone?

  • Tradespeople, they generally own their own tools and bring several boxes to even a basic job, plenty of jobs where you don't need a dedicated truck.

    My time in Paris was before we had kids, so I don't know about the logistics there, but in NYC where I did not even think about owning a car for years it's Very difficult without a car, and there are no more than a few neighborhoods with everything is actually available locally.

    Also anyone just starting their business who doesn't have a purpose built vehicle yet - breaking into catering, flower shop, etc.

  • That's a very ivory-Tower retort - 'they can still buy regular cars'.

    If you can barely put food on the table and NEED a car (eg for work), and nearly nothing in your bank account, do you spend $3000 on a sedan or $1000 on an equally good SUV?

    Second hand market prices in general are extremely demand driven, and with vehicles in particular there are so many other costs to vehicle ownership that a change in price won't shift overall demand much. This just changes the balance pushing SUVs to the bottom of the market. Nobody buying a Porsche SUV in Paris cares about your silly tax.

  • Funny thing about markets though, when you put fees on SUVs that just means the prices on used SUVs will go down, and so you'll have fees being leveed on only the poorest who have no choice but to buy the cheapest car they can find and the richest who don't care about the fee.

  • But why can't we pretend they just threatened to kill the president or something, burn some 0-days to get their exact locations, and blow them all up at the same time using our huge force of drones we deploy all over the world anyway?

  • That's literally what the return on all the other investment is for: the assumption of risk.

    I guess it's the same shift in mentality as the credit card processing machine asking for a tip for everything by default.

  • Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too

    Jump

  • It's resource intensive stuff used for personal projects, CAD workloads benefit from more cores and more RAM so what you're really saying is to have two top of the line machines running in parallel along with a KVM switch because you're probably alternating between the two on your personal time. Too wasteful.

  • Not really. I've gotten one to work but it was dogshit. Very complex software doing lots of geometric computation, very resource intensive and will leverage all the GPU you give it. If you can get it to "run" in wine, even if the driver compatibility is perfect which it's not, every hiccup will be disruptive (like surfaces failing to render).

  • Better for sure, but still no meaningful/full-featured CAD tools on Linux. No "works on Linux" in quotes, nothing at all.

  • Problem is there's too much professional software that simply won't run on Linux, things you spend all day in and even if you can get it to run in a sandbox the experience sucks (because it's too resource intensive, otherwise it would get all SaaSy and force you into the cloud), like CAD software, 3D modeling tools, editing...

    Monopolistic behavior is monopolistic behavior. MSFT needs a beatdown.

  • Burn the gun registries and put a few anti tank rockets and some hand grenades in every home within 50 miles of the border, mine the land near the border.

    That will at least make it extremely costly to accomplish having invaded at all, and give Russia a reason to stop before they're so far in that stopping counts as retreat.
