> Weight in corners hurts you in terms of acceleration out (which is not a problem for Tesla) and by the turning force required to change the momentum direction.

The acceleration is drastically degraded once the battery is hot.

> The result is 5000lb which breaks the four-door nurburgring record.

They broke the record for production EVs, not for all four door cars. In a test that was also officiated by Tesla themselves, so not very credible. In 2017 a Civic type R could do a faster lap time than Plaid does in 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YSjItQneNM&feature=youtu.be

Does anyone even use hibernate in 2021...? Every windows/linux machine I've tried using it on just results in a terrible experience. Generally my system just hangs or takes 10+ minutes to save to disk or restore (despite having a modern workstation with 32GB+ of RAM and a nearly empty high end NVMe SSD).

It's been the first thing I've disabled for years, power management is decent enough that a desktop system will draw a marginal amount of power at idle even if you don't use suspend or hibernate.

Of course, on my macbook it 'just works' and I've left everything default in terms of power management, I assume it does something similar to hibernate/S3 sleep but it always comes back instantly and without draining the battery while closed. I carry it in a backpack commonly and have never had issues with it being hot when I take it out.

I'm not seeing it.

A lot of factors against EVs for super/hypercars:

* All tesla models weight 5000lbs+, so cornering performance is atrocious

* The batteries overheat and turn into literal bombs. If the coolant boils away you could run into thermal runaway territory (and a plaid prototype did grenade itself on the track in 2019).

* The overheating results in quickly degraded batteries and the inability to do more than a lap or two at a time on anything except extremely small tracks. On top of that, charging is much slower when the battery is hot.

* Plaid performance is egregiously overstated, 0-60 tests were done with arbitrarily long rollout and on glued surfaces/tires. Independent testing has shown that plaid still has worse 0-60 times than ICE supercars.

IMO the future for super/hypercars are fuel cell hybrid and hydrogen ICE powertrains, BEV makes sense for commuter cars but are pretty atrocious for performance cars unless you want to emulate FCA and Tesla's business model of selling extremely heavy bricks that only go fast in a straight line as 'performance' cars.

Every normal person knows about and would use those alternatives. Even if they were ignorant they would have been coached as soon as they tried to withdraw a huge amount from the bank.

The 'victim' likely had his money seized because there is an investigation linked to him but not enough evidence to convict in court (or he was associated in an investigation with someone who was already convicted). The reason for travelling is to buy 'game machines', which just seems absurd since such business deals can be conducted entirely from email or phone anyway.

> I did once. Why? Because I damn well wanted to, that's why! I am allegedly a free man living in the "free-est country on earth" so I gave my bank the required one week notice, came in with a bag, and walked out with the amount of cash necessary to buy my shiny new corvette. I then peacefully made my way to the dealership, where I signed the papers and handed them the money. No eyelashes were batted.

Doubt it, considering dealers hate handling cash and filing the anti-structuring paperwork. It certainly wouldn't be a situation where 'no eyelashes were batted', at the least they would have been upset that you were wasting their time.

> Eg: Have you "in your life" ever lived in a country where multiple bank runs happened during "your life", the banks ran out of money, and the government did nothing to make citizens whole? No? Cause that is one reason people would avoid banks - being bankrupted by such an event leaves a mark on you. Probably enough of a mark to keep you from banks forever, even if you move to USA...

So your reasoning for advocating to use cash is because some countries are unstable (even though as a result you are even more likely to robbed of your cash in them)?

> This should be news because it's as close as an official declaration that Intel acknowledges it's time as the world's leading chip manufacturer is over, and that the crown is nowadays firmly on AMD's head.

You're being premature here. Intel still makes more profit in one quarter than AMD makes revenue in multiple years. Intel still puts out more than 10x as many CPUs as AMD does in a year in one quarter.

Zero companies are going under from increasing wages for their lowest earnings workers by 20%. The places hurting most are fast food and restaurants which have very little actual payroll cost once you amortize the amount of food they serve per hour. Increasing wages from $15/hr to (an absurd example) $50/hr at a mcdonald's here would cost less than 35c per customer assuming they serve at least 100 customers per hour (easily more in peak time).

The cost increase over the last 10y at every fast food place and restaurant near me has vastly exceeded 35 cents. Wage increases are inevitable and stagnation is only sustainable until normal people are priced out of living entirely and decide to flip the table.

They can easily afford it. If you dig into any of these companies finances you will see that payroll is generally less than 20% of their overall costs. In my area most workers are flocking to warehouse work as a major american retailer has bumped their starting wage to $25.50/hr plus benefits and is literally hiring people without any sort of phone screen or face to face interview. You will out a web form and get a start date by email.

Eich wasn't a good leader even if you ignore his political views. Brave isn't exactly successful, it's a sham to inject their own ads into pages and to sell a worthless scamcoin.

> 7. During the Brendan Eichgate, Mozilla became a hapless victim of the US culture wars, mostly acccidentally. Mozilla never recovered.

Defending Eich is a hot take that you only see here on HN. He is a worthless individual who champions the cause of taking away personal freedoms of groups of people he doesn't like, pushes anti-mask conspiracy and smears public workers like Fauci, and his only technical 'achievement' since leaving Mozilla has been to create a fork of chrome that bakes in his companies ads and pushes a scamcoin on the user.

The fact you even have the gall to defend such a person is laughable. It wasn't that long ago the population would summarily execute such people when they revealed their status as societal bad actors.

Savvier users would prefer this isn't saved at all. It's extremely easy for malicious software to datamine browser files for cookies/saved password/form data.
