No, they're crossovers. Closer to a hatchback.

I mean, they're literally called SUVs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_SUV

Even https://www.tesla.com/modely uses the term "Electric Midsize SUV"


huh well TIL, thank you. My definitions of Sports Utility Vehicle are outdated. They have almost no clearance, and the suspension is not tuned for anything more than small washboards.

EV's almost never use brakes, and the weight difference isn't really that much. A base trim model 3 is less than 10% heavier than a base trim Camry.

Put it on springs and bury it deep?

I'd assume it was because Boom wanted more collaboration and offered less margins than the current customers of DoD super secret planes. Why work harder, longer hours on someone else's idea for less money?

Possible, but I would not assume anything. It's also possible that what they need to make the aircraft work just isn't practical.

Maybe not the richest of people, but there's a significant amount of people who got their wealth due to their love/acceptance of risk. Climbing Everest is not cheap, is still very risky, and I presume it is more expensive than a cross-Atlantic trip on these jets.

Sure, but the main risk they'd be accepting here is that of spending an inordinate amount of time hanging around in an airport terminal waiting for a broken engine to be fixed.

It'd be hard to spin that as being anything like as heroic as the risk of being killed or maimed whilst climbing Everest!


I think it'll be less like telegram lines- which were replaced fully for a major upgrade in functionality, and more like rail lines- which were standardized and ubiquitous, still hold some benefit but mainly only exist in areas people don't venture nearly as much.

I agree overall, but it is a lot different when each further thievery requires no additional work (since you're not streaming from them). It'd be more like paying someone each time you walk in your door, for the lifetime of the door. In this case they can also take the door off anytime they want, put ads on it, or do pretty much whatever they want.

Exactly, seems like the people on X are exactly the people whose minds they should be trying to change.

That's a lot of words with not a lot of substance. I suppose their whole identity is announcing that they're superior to other people and branching off, while asking for money for what looks like mostly sending people to talk at events (which are probably mostly more fundraising).

I do wish more people would try to fix things from the inside, and I get there's a point where it's no longer possible, but in this case it sounds like they didn't like people calling them out on X and had no way to control the narrative. What other gain would there be for a group trying to spread information in as many channels as possible?


Who knew that an ideologically-oriented organization would have morals and values, and that they wouldn't be aligned with Leon? Maybe they should've just sold out to AI, then they'd get a ticker tape parade.

From what I saw, their page has a lot of writing and no data on successes. I think that sums it up. They sold out to Pride instead of Greed.

I'm not sure why this affects you so much.

I guess I got nerd sniped. I don't really enjoy replying to all the comments, but it is what I'm advocating for so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The pull quote doesn't appear in the linked article. What is it from?

What strategies could FSF employ to "fix things from the inside" on Twitter?

Talk openly and transparently with whomever is not aligning with their ideals. They used to call it discussion.

What if the problem they were facing on Twitter was that others weren't doing their part in the open and transparent discussion?

How would it not be open and transparent on twitter? It's a site where everyone can see what they are talking about. It's only when they try to limit to whom and where they talk to people that they are not open and transparent.

> How would it not be open and transparent on twitter?

Lying. Trolling. Bullshitting. Stonewalling.

> It's only when they try to limit to whom and where they talk to people that they are not open and transparent.

I don't need to talk to you or use your favored public platform for my published material to be open and transparent on some other public platform.


> Lying. Trolling. Bullshitting. Stonewalling.

What do these have to do with open and transparent communication?

> I don't need to talk to you or use your favored public platform for my published material to be open and transparent on some other public platform.

Very true, but limiting the platforms limits the openness and transparency. With some simple software you can post to all with almost no effort. Seems weird to disclude one just to write a blog post about it for attention.


> What do these have to do with open and transparent communication?

If I'm lying to you, I'm being neither open nor transparent, by definition.

> Very true, but limiting the platforms limits the openness and transparency.

It only limits the audience who will see it incidentally. Anyone who's looking for it can still find it.

> With some simple software you can post to all with almost no effort.

I rather suspect that they are avoiding the platform for reasons other than the effort it takes to simply create a post. This seems moot in context.


lol

imagine thinking you can discuss a hopped up ket-head into "aligning with your ideals".


it's the town square- it's not about the two people talking but for everyone reading what they said instead of controlling the narrative by only speaking to people you want in places you want. They don't even have to answer to everyone, so the only benefit of losing access to thousands/millions of people is to make an article like this for Pride.

It's hard to tell whether it's still really a town square, since the only information we have about X's usage is tweets from Musk.

I just mean that in the way that this site is a town square, or all of the rfc's, in that anyone can (for free) see all of the discussions and participate. Just like a town square, not every comment has to be addressed or promoted equally, but I don't know of a better way to release information and allow for anyone to discuss it with others.

Use killercoda and get your CKA, I bet most of the confusion will be gone. I've basically started mandating it for newer folks on my team since it covers so many of the gaps that get created by people who try Just In Time learning on the systems. K9s is great for visual people who are used to vim.
