  • No seriously. By what metric is a Tesla not a real EV?

  • The MAC, at least as it was conceptualised (as they said, MAC randomisation etc. mess with this), is a unique identifier for that specific device. It doesn't change, and only one device has that specific MAC.

    Or more specifically, that specific network adaptor, the hardware responsible for connecting to networks. So one computer might have multiple MACs if, for example, it has an Ethernet port and a wifi card.

  • I've been a clarinet player since I was about 9. But when I was like 16, I had a physics class on the science of acoustics. We used slinkies to create standing waves either fixed at both ends or moving at one end to understand the concept of a standing wave, and then diagrams to demonstrate different harmonics. The connections were so amazing to learn. Seeing the diagrams of a closed vs open pipe, and of a string, and the standing waves that can form in it, was so enlightening. I finally knew why my instrument overblew at an octave and a fifth but other instruments overblow at an octave.

    It was years later thanks I'm pretty sure to a Reddit comment, that I additionally learnt that a cone also experiences every harmonic, just like an open pipe. Though I unfortunately never learnt the intuition behind how to explain that detail.

    Of course, this all goes somewhat out the window when you realise that it's possible on many instruments to bend the pitch smoothly and play out of tune—or correct your tuning. No idea how the physics behind that works with the model of standing waves with fixed nodes and antinodes.

    Yup! That's exactly why I started doing it. I also really enjoy the Ponder Club mini.

  • "it" is "banning phrases that call for resistance to oppression and for freedom from that oppression". I had just said "it" is disgusting, and then say "but let's say it's not?"

  • Sorry, you got beaten to that exact same joke earlier this month in this same community.

    A while ago his dad came out and said the original South Sudanese name is actually Guot (pronounced gwot), and its spelling changed because of a transcription error when they fled to Egypt. But his manager said they're sticking with the name Gout. I don't think I've heard anything on the subject from the kid himself.

  • Could you elaborate? I don't really understand what bit you don't understand. Particularly since the quoted bit that you said you didn't understand leaves off the payoff that that was an introduction to?

    edit: actually, looks like it's still down. It let me create an archive of this page, but that archive gives a 503 when you try to view it.

  • Teslas are "real, true EVs". Just because they're sold by a nazi doesn't change that.

  • Sounds like the Denmark stats are "EVs and hybrids"? The Australian stats are only EVs. Since hybrids have both petrol and battery, counting them in this comparison is not very useful.
