Make a revolutionary thing that changes it's industry forever and then falls behind the curve as everyone else catches up and surpasses them (ie blackberry, Nortel, Avro (I guess?), practically everything made by Bombardier) 2. Develop a new technology that gets bought by an American company or is just given to the world and is forgotten about (Ballard fuel cell, Insulin, Java, electron microscope) italian quid posted:VW's CEO said that it takes them 30 man hours to make an ICE car, 20 to make an EV and he thinks the EV will go down to 10 in the long term. Once VW and GM are running at scale everyone else is going to poo poo their pants and follow suit. Lithium is the real limiting factor in mass EV production. All current and future battery technologies (that are being developed for portable applications) require lithium for the anode and the cathode and unfortunately Lithum is a rare earth metal comprising of about 0.002% of earth's crust. We won't see the real effects of this until 2030 when the ICE engine sales ban comes into place, but expect Lithium prices to skyrocket unless we find something else to make a good battery out of (or figure out a cheap and effective way to recycle Li-ion batteries).

Why not just keep using this thread who really cares Are we trying to archive each season like it’s going to be studied in history? Because if that’s the case then the world is hosed anyway leading back to my original point of who cares

italian quid posted:Musk is making a lot of really stupid decisions like trying to go it alone on charging and refusing to put lidar in his cars that make sense right now but I suspect are going to terminally gently caress him 5 years down the road when everyone starts rolling out their second generation EVs with all that stuff more tightly integrated. The Tesla tech is heavily camera based, while other companies have IP positions in lidar (like conti). If I had enough money I would short Tesla, but the fan boys are going to keep pumping well into miss 2030s even as they get squeezed by traditional oem sales networks on the one side and Chinese start ups on the other.

Musk is right that short sellers are dumb, but not because of Tesla's fundamentals being any good. He's right because the market is rigged because the SEC hasn't put his dumb rear end in jail yet.

If I'm interpreting this right PLC is being renamed/replaced by the F1 Live Channel with a new commentary team of Ben Edwards, Tom Gaymor and Will Buxton. Will it still feature the multi-view? Linked story says you can 'add up to five screens' of info but not sure if that refers to limit of streams per account or what. https://twitter.com/wbuxtonofficial/status/1504534509747900418

net work error posted:Why would you do this No idea. PLC had a really nice thing going with the commentary crew on there, hope this group doesn't start going too far over the top. Believe some of them are formerly from the Channel 4 UK commentary team? Have no experience with that. Other than Buxton at least. But yeah. Edit: This article seems to confirm it's replacing PLC. Will also be the primary broadcast on F1TV, with Sky still being available should you wish to subject yourself to that, which at least makes sense that their own commentary team isn't playing second banana, but that let them have casual feel. https://motorsportbroadcasting.com/2022/03/17/ben-edwards-to-return-to-commentary-box-with-f1s-in-house-team/ Red Warrior fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Mar 17, 2022 |

Sounds like Sam will still be playing some role although will suck if he's been demoted out the booth to just do technical bits (which he is great at, but would rather he was in the booth). And Rosanna was excellent, plus losing a woman from the team will feel like a step back.
