There are ways.

I take a picture on my phone. I want to send it as a postcard to my parents. So I open 'Photos', select the picture and forward it to my dad's 'TelePost' profile. I may add a video note, annotating and commenting on the picture; my face appearing inset in the corner.

The next day, my dad gets the postcard. Flipping the picture over, he reads the first couple of sentences from my voice note printed next to a QR code. He then scans the card with his TelePost app and views the video note.

Dad may now add the card to his physical photo album, use TelePost to beam it to his digital photo frame, or stick the postcard to the fridge. Or just chuckle and put it in the bin.

The vacation goes on. My wife and I add photos to a shared TelePost picture roll. As I fly back, I post the roll to myself. A Print-On-Demand facility near home mails me a slim folio style album, that I clip onto my album at home.

Junk filled garages are hurting a lot of good things: safety, finances, sanity, marriages, hobbies, health... And probably EV adoption too.

It's just that EV adoption should be at the bottom of that list.

Clear up your garage for your own sake -- not for some EV manufacturer's sake

I don't see that problem. Plenty of SaaS companies have hit the sweet spot. I know of Salespeople who quit one employer and fully expect to also use Salesforce at the second employer. Ditto for ServiceNow and Ariba.com. Their abstractions work well enough to resonate with lots of customers.

Instead, the principal problem is SaaS is this : It a service you rent. It is not an asset you own.

  Your barber can 'fire you' for being a Democrat or sporting a moustache or asking questions. Your SaaS provider can fire you too, as long as it isn't for one of the legally protected reasons (race, gender, sex). Or they can raise prices tenfold

You can easily find a new barber and say "I want a zero fade with line on the right". But moving a SaaS provider with Terabytes of data and multiple integrations is much more troublesome: both expensive and risky to business. Now imagine you need to move 2 or 4 SaaS providers at once.

The lesson I take from this: use SaaS only for non-essential things. Like the software equivalent of a haircut.

Yea. He's also the inventor of JavaScript. In 2014, he resigned soon after being appointed Mozilla CEO. This was after some Mozilla employees protested his 2008 donation of $1,000 to support California's Proposition 8, which opposed legalisation of same-sex marriage.

Japanese solution -- I saw a YouTube video on how the Japanese addressed this by elongating the nose of the Shinkansen. That design was inspired by the kingfisher bird diving in water. The length of the nose helps to gradually displace the air as it enters the tunnel, reducing the strength of the pressure wave.

Also, perhaps fans could be a solution. Powerful blowers that push air out one end of the tunnel, just as the train enters in at the other end, then taper to zero as the train exits

Thank you..

This post is worthy of a slashdot story, all by itself.

This war is not going well for either Russia (122K+ confirmed deaths; Mediazona) or Ukraine (77K+; ualosses.org). Many soldiers no longer want to fight. What is glorious about forcing more men to early deaths?

What's important is an immediate ceasefire and a process for both sides to punish war crimes committed.

I am heartened to see Trump pressuring the Russians into ceasefire... that instinct of his is correct.

But he's famously unreliable with numbers... I wouldn't grasp at that particular straw as a continue the war.

Both sides need to reach 0:0 ASAP.

Russia officially wants 20%. Stick to the current facts.

Ukraine could have got away with a much smaller percentage at Istanbul. But they took your advice. A half million casualties later, they have wisened up.

20%.

If thugs took 17% of my home, battered my family to a pulp, but my friends just kept mailing Amazon packages to me instead of showing up, i would appease the thugs with 20% of my home. So my family could live and have a roof over our heads.

So the answer is 20%.

But sssh... don't tell the thugs..

> Why aren't you calling for Russia to give up more land?

I would, if it would help the cause of peace. But it won't. So I won't. Instead, the most we can do is ask Russia to accept the land it has taken so far, plus some minor concessions (like Pokrovsk) and freeze the conflcit.

> How quickly you changed you mind.

My position has been consistent. I have lived in a land of a frozen conflict.

When this war started, you were enraged (justifiably) at your sense of justice being trampled upon. But I get the sense you are also speaking from ego now - your predictions and exhortations have been proven wrong by reality, and you don't like it.

> Don't Russian lives matter?

Don't all lives matter?

In a war with a million casualties, the easiest thing for foreigners to do is exhort one side or the other to keep spilling their guts. Both sides have millions of families with a serious loss -- there is enough anger to continue.

The harder, but more correct option, is to push for a peace that stops loss of live,and protects both parties from further losses. The most likely option for this is (a) asking Russia to accept the land it has taken so far, (b) some minor concessions from Ukraine (like Pokrovsk) and (c) freeze the conflcit.

Guts and glory stories are easy to recount when the spilt guts are not yours.

Remember, you or I could be born a desperate Russian or Ukrainian draftee. If you want to help, push for peace.
