- I think a whole lot of people forget that this is a discussion board run by a venture capital group.
I agree with the post, but don't find it surprising. If you have problems with companies these guys are invested in, probably find a different platform that they don't run?
Seriously, we could do this on IRC without hard gatekeeping...
- They aren't faster in the cases I know of. As an example, the Isle of Man TT Zero was discontinued partially because 2008 predictions of electric bikes reaching parity with gas by 2025 didn't pan out.
Even for small stuff, a minibike with a 212cc 4-stroke can have comparable performance to something like a Cake or Surron and is a fraction of the cost.
Personally I think the electric motorcycle market should try and max performance versus weight. Perhaps something pedal assisted that could hit 60 mph without too much fuss but light enough that it could be shouldered up a few flights of stairs. Range can be low, as in 10-15 miles per charge max but balanced by swappable battery packs.
- EUCs are self-balancing. They also can have amazing suspension and an excellent performance envelope.
- Why does this not have 1200+ points? Sometimes people need to be reminded of the fundamentals!
- >most people are not influencers.
Perhaps, but many are. They just don't have much reach or don't use a digital platform.
- Trace buster buster buster
- I don't understand the UX complaints? I thought we needed to re-wild the web and do more weird shit when we feel like it?
- I happen to heartily agree with you but now we're talking taste and... yeah.
- Adblock should be mandatory. Just like bug repellent and sunscreen.
- I think you're taking this too far. First off, limiting screen time and access to feeds while making sure kids are socialized is generally a good thing regardless of where they decide to go in life. Computers that make things a bit 'harder' help stave off mindless consumption of content without being oppressive.
Arguably you could just put your kids in a high-end private school with other well socialized children who have had significant sums of money invested in their development and haven't even been pacified with tech out of parental laziness/necessity but hey, whatever works...
Secondly, providing a linux based computer or old windows as an intro to technology has one very basic benefit. It teaches mindful interaction with technology. These things are tools. Regardless of how hard many companies try, computers (smartphone, tablet or desktop) remain machines that do exactly what we ask them when you ask them to do it and internalizing this at a young age builds stronger humans.
- Out of curiosity, roughly where are you from?
- Well said.
- But deep fried, richly seasoned mushrooms pair so well with steak and a cigar...
- You're thinking of temperature and viscosity parameters.
Read the data sheets and look for those terms, or look for manufacturers of pumps that maximize both.
- Out the window with you!
- Lynx works well.
- Excellent books.
- Isn't that kind of the point though? The machine are sort of doing it because they love/envy us?
- > A whole lot of people work in corps
Agree
> Pretty sure they know how corps work.
Hard disagree
The author is concerned that content which would be valuable to the 'tech-scene' by virtue of demonstrable ability to gain traction quickly is being suppressed due to site owners wanting to avoid damaging their investments.
