1/ Will Sam’s comments age well?
👉Two simultaneous truths can hold:
✅ Technically correct (2020s economics) but
❌ Civilisationally narrow (long arc of expansion).
He may end up sounding like someone in 1905 saying: “Airplanes won’t matter for global transport this decade.” or “Transatlantic cables laid in the 1850s are economically questionable.”
That is, he’s correct but missing the trajectory, because Orbital Data Centres (ODC) are analogous:
- initially inefficient
- strategically transformative later
Foundational infrastructure rarely win on cost; they win on capability expansion…
This biochemist read 2,000 scientific papers on blood sugar, pregnancy, and nutrition and discovered the food industry has been lying to you about almost all of it.
Here are the 10 most shocking things she found:
1. Orange juice = Coca-Cola.
Hang on a minute. Luce’s 0.254 Cd is Ferrari’s (not the world’s) lowest drag coefficient (Cd), but it’s still higher than Tesla’s huge SUV - the Model X at 0.24 Cd (post’s typo as “024”), and significantly higher than the Model S.
Lower Cd is better for efficiency/range at speed, but it’s just one factor—frontal area, weight, powertrain efficiency, and the massive 122 kWh battery also matter a lot.
Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce.
• Starting price: $640,000
• Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive
• Range: 280 miles (expected EPA)
• Peak charging speed: 350kW
• 122 kWh battery
• 1,050 horsepower
• 0-60mph: 2.4s
• 800v
• Four-door four-seater
• Four electric motors
• OLED screens
• Weight: 4,982 lbs
• Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm
• Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car.
• Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels
• The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered
• 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S
