Further work on my #Tesla voting spreadsheet to find how extreme the votes would need to break for #Musk to get or not get the new compensation package. The numbers look a lot worse for Musk now
A breakdown.
1) Known entities, such as Leo Koguan, #ARK, #CALPERS, & the protest letter senders are in.
2) #Vanguard voted AGAINST in 2018. I can't imagine that they'd vote FOR now. Not as sure how their mutual funds will vote, or what %.

@cnishina You do realize that in the #US a #car catches fire *every three minutes*, right?
Per mile driven, #EVs are an order of magnitude less likely to catch #fire. Because they're not sitting on a tank of highly flammable liquid with no #FireSuppression systems at all , plumbed up to a hot #engine block and past an #exhaust hot enough to ignite dry #grass and surrounded by friction sources.
Also, see that "tslaq of the world"? $TSLAQ is a short-seller group.

@[email protected] @Aznorth @stux This is based on:
* Obviously, colour (#jasper is just "any red #chalcedony", chalcedony being semiprecious #flint/#chert - that is, cryptocrystaline #quartz)
* Availability in large sizes
* #Conchoidal fracture
* Brittle
Obviously I can't do any more tests than that from here!

8. "What #mineral, produced by #subglacial #eruptions and spread via #aeolian distribution, is a problem for farmers in #Iceland, and why?"
#ChatGPT3 #GPT3 failed this (admittedly difficult) question (the answer is allophane, which binds phosphorus and other minerals, water, and reduces soil cohesion).
-
@mcfellaface Oh man, I forgot all about the #Demoscene! Haven't watched a #demo since the mid/late 1990s - #FutureCrew and all of them. What people managed to fit into a couple dozen K (or even just a few K) was staggering, and simultaneously (A) inspirational and (B) giving a sense that I'll never be that good at coding ;)

A #LFP #battery is a #steel can containing primarily (A) #graphite (synthetic or natural), and (B) #iron #phosphate (which is basically fertilizer). The next largest component is #electrolyte, primarily organic carbonates (a #petrochemical #solvent - on the lower toxicity end as far as solvents go). Next most common are the metal foils (#alumium and #copper). Next is the (#plastic) separator membrane.
In tiny quantities at the bottom of the list? Electrolyte additives and the #lithium itself.
-
@Timmy ... (#plastic) separator membrane. Beyond all this, there's a variety of minor additives, as well as the small amount of #lithium itself.
The main limiting factor in scaleup however is none of this; it's plant capacity. And in particular, film synthesis for the jelly rolls. Traditionally this is done with a wet-phase process, but this requires #VacuumOven.s the length of a football pitch for each line to extract the #solvent.

@starkmiriam #Musk ended up mortgaging everything he had to save the company that #Eberhard nearly ran into the ground. And thankfully, it worked (mainly due to an investment by #Daimler to build an electric Smart car - if it had come a week later, paychecks would have bounced).
#ElonMusk kept resisting becoming the CEO because he was busy with #SpaceX; after the company's third CEO left, he finally accepted (becoming the fourth) it in late 2008.
-
@filmcritic Also, the fact that you think that #Tesla fans aren't familiar with #Eberhard... I mean, where to even start? That's like saying, "#Apple fans don't know that there was this guy named #Wozniak...."
-
@[email protected] @dominicvfx Also always left out of this story: #Eberhard was independently wealthy. He had just sold off his company NuvoMedia to Gemstar for $187M. Yet he put very little of his own money into the company; it was #Musk who risked everything he owned to save it, having to clean up Eberhard's mess.
Literally, Eberhard was telling the board that the cars were going to cost a little over half what his actual numbers said they were going to cost.
-
@[email protected] @dominicvfx Tesla did not "come from the work of #Eberhard and #Tarpenning". When #Musk and Eberhard/Tarpenning joined forces, (A) Musk was already working on exactly the same project, even with the same ACP powertrain (only on a Noble chassis), and (B) Tesla was a shell company with no tech of its own and not even the legal rights to its own name. And they did not "step down"; Eberhard was fired by the board (even his own appointee) for stringing them along on a pack of lies.

CW: Elon Musk
@[email protected] @davetroy @Tnicholsmd And to be explicit, #Tesla wasn't "bought out". Tesla was a shell company. It had no tech to its name - it was all ACP's. It didn't even own the trademark to its own name. No money changed hands. And - key point - ***#Eberhard was independently wealthy***. He had recently sold his compan NuvoMedia to #Gemstar for $187M.

CW: Elon Musk
@[email protected] @davetroy @Tnicholsmd Sorry, but this is revisionist history.
Both of #Musk's' early companies were mergers between pairs of startups, but he was *absolutely* working on them on his own at the time of the merger. #Paypal Inc was the merger of Musk's X.com and #Thiel's Confinity. And when Elon and #Eberhard merged their forces, #Elon was already working on a converted #Noble with ACP's powertrain (while Eberhard was working on a #Lotus with ACP's powertrain).

CW: COVID, again. How screwed am I?
@ZebraOnWheels There's a degree of separation in there with #COVID, so even without masks, there's no guarantee of "screwed". Masks lower the odds, though the degree depends on the type of #mask. If you're really worried, get yourself a #P100 #elastomeric mask, such as a #GVSElipse, and fit test it (you only need a portable #nebulizer and a bottle of #bitrex, or even #SweetAndLow)

@tomstoreboe @elonmusk The average #EV contains 5-10kg of lithium, the vast majority of which is recycled at the end of its life.
The average #ICE vehicle burns its *entire weight in oil* every single year of its ~20 year lifespan. No recovery.
#Lithium is produced from sun-dried saltwater (#salar) or from super-concentrated ore mainly in a single mine in Australia (#spodumene / #Greenbushes). #Oil is one of the most polluting things humans produce.
Luddites are the problem, not the solution.

Work on continues building up the L3 barrier as lava nears its top, by adding more material straight atop the crusted-over active flow. (photo: Stefán Jón Ingvarsson).
If this thing keeps on going for years (shield-forming eruptions), the #BlueLagoon and #Svartsengi are going to look like a crater..
-
The #BlueLagoon's emergency communication to guests seems to be... subpar.
(Silica Hotel is at the Blue Lagoon)
-
They're apparently aiming to reopen the #BlueLagoon a week from now. How? I have no bloody idea...
I mean, first off, are they scheduling the end of the #eruption? I mean, one eruption lasted 54 days. Active lava flows block the route from the north. Are they planning to come in through #Grindavik
-
This "small" #eruption is proving to be much more of a pain than the last "big" eruption. :Þ The lava has nearly reached the height of the berms around the #BlueLagoon and the #Svartsengi thermal plant. Workers will be working all night to raise them.

@[email protected] @hackerfactor @[email protected] Not "prototypes". Serial production at #GF1. First deliveries to #Pepsi.
And my apologies if me adding actual facts to the conversation about the topic that you tagged is problematic for you.

@rmattila74 What does the #Nordpool human-readable data look like? Is it possible to automate?

@ross Play #KerbalSpaceProgram for a while, you'll get a much better understanding of the (very counterintuitive) nature of #OrbitalDynamics :)
Oh, and how did they calculate things in the #1960s? While final trajectories were analyzed with (compute-intensive) #NBodySimulations, rough trajectories were created with "#PatchedConics", which basically sort of converts a trajectory into a #geometry problem.
-
@[email protected] The what...? Since when has Tesla asked for money for #OTAUpdates? *How* can they ask for money for OTA updates? I'm confused.
-
@kopptisch Calling #OTAUpdates "recalls" is more than a stretch; that's like saying that every time you update an app on your smartphone it was "recalled". And most major automakers have several recalls - *actual* recalls, where you have to drive the vehicle in to a dealership - every single month.
-
@bhtooefr @Aminorjourney I think it is implicit. They're applying for #SAE certification of the standard. That's not going to happen without full protocol specification.
Interesting possibility about using #CCS protocol as the communications standard, though. Tesla should be able to handle dealing with that with #OTAUpdates. Most other #EVs couldn't.
Maybe we'll just see a portion of Supercharger stalls at each station get easily attachable /detachable CCS heads mounted to them.
