For dev work machine I use Fedora and Debian. On the server CentOS and Debian and at home some might find it interesting a MacOS ( looking for good laptop with trackpoint to replace Mac Air and get either Fedora or Debian on it ).
I find my dev workflow best on Debian ( probably just used to it ) but lately using Fedora as well. CentOS on the server just because it is available everywhere but where I can I choose Debian for the server due to like already said being familiar most familiar with it.
"20 minutes recharge for 200 kilometers of autonomy, at price of 20000 dollars"
Totally unacceptable. 5 minutes for 4-500 kilometers of autonomy is where it's at. I will not but EV until that happens. I am willing to sacrafice 200km of autonomy ( from my current 600-700km with Civic 1.6 diesel ) for EV.
Everything else is just annoyance for my style of life with daily commute and kids. I don't want to charge for 20 minutes every week at some random charge station.
Considering my friends and family who feel the same I don't think other manufacturers will have any issues catching up with Tesla in 10-20 years.
Oil dictatorship will just move to renewables dictatorship. I was listening to the Bloomberg radio and some oil guy all on hype explaining how they are moving into the market and that 20% of their biz is now renewables and how they are the biggest solar electricity plant operator, etc. So, no, dictatorship as you say is kind of here to stay.
Also Tesla. BMW announced usable fully electric Mini and other manufactureres such as MB and Volvo are full on. I am sorry to say but Tesla will go down very soon....it's cool and everything but 'normal' businesses would already be down in similar position. You can't also really compare it to Amazon who actually formed the market. Tesla is competing with 100 years old manufacturers who nailed production down to the millionth of a cent.
Renewables can be used in almost any location over the entire world. It is incredibly hard to monopolise renewables in the same way you can monopolise oil.
BMW already have a fully electric car out, the i3. It costs ~$50k and has a range of, what, 120mi?
We'll have to wait and see if the fully electric Mini is going to be any better.
But we can look at the hybrid Mini Countryman S E, cleverly getting AWD from putting the electric motor on one set of wheels and ICE on the other set. Great idea. Except... it gets 27mpg. Terrible. The only excuse I can see is that it's a "performance hybrid", i.e. they weren't trying to be particularly fuel efficient.
Volvo currently sells only big cars that get bad gas mileage even in the hybrid versions.
I'm not holding my breath for any of these companies to save the planet.
putting 250mi range on a european car just feels like premature optimization.
my thinking is that bmw is going to sell electric cars with a diff spec in the US, same way bmw doesn't sell 1.5L 3 series there.
that said, given China's penchant for American sized cars, I feel like they're missing out on the two biggest economies in the world focusing on europe/asia exC.
Huawei was expected to have some (the first edition watches were well loved but growing old). Then the Huawei Watch 2 ended up being a thick sportwatch with LTE. The Huawei Watch 2 Classic, which looks marginally less sporty, is inexplicably is just as thick as the Watch 2 despite ditching all the LTE circuitry. It's also roughly $100 more expensive (figure that one out).
I am glad I never used medium and I go out of my way not to read anything on it.
How are they different from many other blog systems before them?
The correspondence between op and the guy from medium just put me off even more. Like someone else before me already said...pretty ridiculous saying to someone 'your product is nothing new'...coming from medium
To me it just looks like another case of all words for openness but in reality my hand washes your hand.
>How are they different from many other blog systems before them?
There is one key difference: Medium's popular posts recommendation algorithm is not based on pageviews, but on the time that people spend reading them. It was an attempt to solve the issue of clickbait. From Business Insider:
With Medium, Williams was on a mission to clean up the mess that blogging had become, the misinformation and drivel it attracted. He hoped to cure professional journalism of these ills, too.
“The state of tech blogs is atrocious. It’s utter crap,” he told Bloomberg’s Brad Stone in 2013. “They create a culture that is superficial and fetishizing and rewarding the wrong things and reinforcing values that are self-destructive and unsustainable.” And he said he was “pessimistic about the state of media, and that’s why I want to work on this problem.”
His idea back then was an algorithm that recommended high-quality stories not based on clicks, but on how much time people spent reading them.
Of course, "platform blogging" isn't new: Sett, Stumbleupon, and the good ole standby "webrings" were (and still are, in some cases) forms of bringing multiple authors together into a general community
By a large margin gov.uk with the redesign became the best website on the Internet. Whenever I needed something I could find it easy and fast. Nice to look at as well. It shows that you don't need crap(stock photos anyone?) to make a nice website.
