The math isn’t as bad as you might think: 200Wh (about a 60 min, somewhat intense ride) seems to be about 20 minutes for a H/B100. Still 3x, but not bad at all!

I remember the idea being dismissed quickly because people would likely actually want it.

I don't mean to be that typical HN commenter but you did lose me a bit there.

I know a lot of people are just getting started with agents but even for a lot of scrappy startups usage is a lot higher than that!

If I may suggest focusing on explaining how you can add value even when usage is super low to controlling costs even when usage can get super high?

I can validate you that it is a true problem that's solved by large companies but you have to hand-roll yourself @ startups (via airflow or queues, etc). But unfortunately one where I am not sure that a lot of stakeholders understand the benefits of (yet!). I think value has to be shown a bit more clearly here, sadly.

Congrats on the launch!

BPA/BPE/BPS-free thermal paper is harder to find than one might think.

Yes, perhaps broad dragnet type of might be scoffed down by some judges (outside of Patriot act FISA judges ofc)

I would warn you about the general E2E encryption and encrypted at rest claims. They are in-fact correct, but perhaps misleading? At some point, for most, the data does get decrypted server-side - cue the famous ":-)"

With digital cash it might be more difficult, potentially intrusive or costly to convert to physical assets (look at crypto). If I take $20 out of my bank account and buy donuts, it's going to be very hard to the government to trace that. That will not be the case for digital cash. They will know the exact wallet that came from.

I also believe the need for the Fed for a CBDC is forced onto them because of the inevitability of a negative interest rate on savings accounts (which carries negative consequences). Indirectly, CBDC solves that for them. This person explains it practically: youtu.be/UP0e9MGjyD4

Down to 9/26 from last years 4/26. Compared to VW's 24/26 that's quite a large delta.

TBH some of ranking on the list makes anecdotal sense (Toyota is #2). Others do not (Mazda as #1?!).

I'm questioning Consumer Reports methodology, how far back do they look? If it's only a sliding window of <3yrs I do not believe thats enough data.

I always chalked up reliability as a function of new tech introduction + focus on reliability. I figured Porsche gets decent numbers because of how relatively low-tech they are and the ridiculous prices they charge for optioning-in that tech (basic things like ACC or memory seats).

Is there something else organizationally, process or product wise that Porsche does differently than the VW group? I do know that they have a separate factory w/ seperate engineering departments (:cough VW engineers design Lamborghini's).

However, I would have throw in much more aid to the ones that were forced. Cash + PPE + National Guard. If I couldn't provide help, then I wouldn't force. That would mean that it would be up to the hospitals to figure it out and find a home for them or until they were covid-free.

Obviously I'm playing backseat Covid response governor here. Hindsight is 20/20.

I don't want to play politics and I do think more could have been done here). Like: quickly granting nursing homes aid in terms of PPE + cash + national guard help. I'm just trying to change your mind that the situation was much more nuanced that the NYTimes is advocating for.

Don't mean to be aggressive but where else would you like for the people whose domicile is in the nursing home to go? These are not people in independent living facilities, they likely need 24/7 skilled care. Allowing the people to go back to the nursing home (aka their home) seemed like the right thing to do at the time. It unfortunately didn't play out so well and I am glad I wasn't the one making that decision.

I think it was a tough decision. The nursing homes could have contained the spread but clearly were incapable of doing so.

> Then stonewalled the Feds asking for information about those deaths.

No excuse for that, just lay it all out. The stonewalling was intentional and possibly illegal, he should answer for that.
