Trump's opposition to the CHIPS Act is detrimental to the US. The CHIPS Act is one of the best, most important pieces of legislation in the last half-century. Abandoning the ability to make integrated circuits in the US during an AI boom would be detrimental
@YourMomDave1@ShooterMcDadden@SpaceX if that were true, they could just cut the engines and let the drag from the fins settle the fuel before re-lighting the engine. the pressure drop from cooling the gas with the slosh is the only reason you have to go through all of this.
@ShooterMcDadden@SpaceX The fuel must be held to the bottom of the rocket since they didn't use helium to maintain pressure. The internal pressure would drop if the fuel sloshed up, causing an implosion
@meharris@tim_wdev@forstall_@SteveP92104114 Yet your false information is still quoted to this day. Congratulations on being part of the death of journalism. You certainly struck a strong blow. You could have asked some unbiased sources before publishing, but that does not produce more clicks
@eevblog Dave, why no consideration for solar cells? you could have someone 3d print a new lid with solar cell mounts. use a Schottky to combine with lithium thionyl cell (and shunt so you don't "charge" your battery). lithium thionyl+solar, you could hit 10k hours easily, maybe 100k.
@GarethDennis@AirWaterSnow@boringcompany all you've shown is that you ignore facts and simply cherry-pick numbers that support your foregone conclusion. LVCC is required to operate 4k+ pph, you ignore that. they've said 8-16p veh for years, you ignore that. they've never said they would be 150mph at all times. hackery
@GarethDennis@AirWaterSnow@boringcompany but you haven't shown that. please explain why a lane of highway where each vehicle carries 12 passengers cannot meet the demand needed for low to medium volume transit. you've been making counter-factual assumptions about vehicle size and speed in your above argument. try again
@GarethDennis@AirWaterSnow@boringcompany to me, we have a world too full of personality hate/worship, and that we should strive for objectivity whenever possible.
@GarethDennis@AirWaterSnow@boringcompany why do you decide to put more weight on individuals/personalities than objective/technical logic and math? if you put the obj/tech 1st, you would have to acknowledge that Loop, as a concept, would work well for low to medium volume transportation (a highway full of 12p EVs)
@GarethDennis@AirWaterSnow@boringcompany this speculative arguing isn't helping anyone learn anything, it's just showing some personal bias you have. TBC has said all along that they plan 8-16 passenger vehicles. it's not intellectually honest to ignore that based off of a single render.
@AirWaterSnow@GarethDennis@boringcompany not sure why you think recharging is a problem. they would use as many vehicles as they need to meet ridership spec. for LVCC, that would likely be 20-30 vehicles because it's short. peak hourly ridership, divided by pass/veh, divided by ave trips per hour. not rocket science.
