In Memex crowd thinking environment for thoughts unthinkable to separate beings, human-machine general intelligence raises superintelligent offspring to help all life.
I’ve owned several recumbent trikes like that one, all of which lifted the inner wheel in sporty driving below my preferred speed.
At which sideways acceleration will Aptera roll over? A heavy battery between the front wheels will help somewhat.
“Millions” is cheap in car making. It buys you just enough design for manufacturability to make it good enough and cheap enough for people to buy.
Less design -> worse result while more expensive to produce. Example: Podbike (I like it, but the price)
Then register it to the next vehicle class, semi-light or whatever. Have the lawmakers fit the laws to the optimal vehicle designs with 2025 technology. How old is the law with the weight limits? Time to update and fit law to existing reality? Isn’t it tradition to let the industry write the laws that apply to itself? Aptera is industry.
If the weight limit were to be adhered to, then the four-wheeler’s structure would have to be redesigned around lighter engineering.
That law is lawfare from the traditional car industry and has to be changed.
Trikes are only good for saving pennies at the cost of driveability and usability - they should not be incentivised by law. Four-wheelers are more stable and should be under the same law as trikes.
Aptera is stupidly shooting itself in the foot with an awkward three-wheeler instead of making a good, light, safe, illegal car and attacking the harmful law with it. A quad could have a cargo space or back seat between the two rear wheels.
Trikes are less stable than 4-wheelers, slow and teetery around curves, unless very low centre of gravity.
Trikes can’t have a cargo space or back seat between the one rear wheel.
Sabotage through lawfare is being done to velomobiles / pedal cars:

I’ll start respecting it the moment they add the fourth wheel.
Plausibly deniable attacks on political opposition.

Something should be said about fringe servers (I’d never say “instance” except “server = instance”) and defederation both ways being common, so your home server choice matters. The email comparison is broken and should include “in principle” and then continue with “in practice [real situation]”. This is a start:
I like the yellow bubble here, but it’s inaccurate in many ways:
The infograph we’re looking for should also say at least:
When I lived in Taipei, Taiwan, there was a military exercise in that area with civilian curfew for a whole day. Finally the constant traffic roar went silent and I could keep my windows open and listen to birds and insects. A pleasant curfew.

Let’s not clone trash. Tinder sucks because it has no matching mechanism to filter out incompatible people. To find one interesting profile on Tinder I have to swipe about 500 profiles. To get more matches, I risk some false positives and like ~2% of profiles. Then I need to filter the matches in person. Very inefficient, a waste of time.
The opposite of that was OkCupid before Match Group destroyed it.
You might prefer confabulation, or bullshitting.
I wouldn’t dare have everything invested in one house. What if there’s a bubble about to burst? What if the house is hit by a disaster that insurance won’t cover? If I owned a house, I’d probably take some debt and buy foreign shares not related to house prices.

You shouldn’t be paying any form of investor to pretend they can see into the future.
True, usually index funds outperform active investors, but there are special cases (third point below):
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/24/heres-when-active-mutual-funds-tend-to-outperform-index-funds.html
- Investors generally fare better in index mutual funds and exchange-traded funds versus their actively managed counterparts.
- The average investor pays about five times more to own an active fund relative to an index fund. This makes it tougher for active funds to outperform index funds, after fees.
- However, the lowest-cost active funds tend to beat the average index fund in categories like junk bonds, foreign stock and global real estate.
… A company isn’t affected by whether a fund invests or does not invest in them.
False. When you buy existing shares, they’ll see the increased demand and issue more shares, making more money from investors after you. Same as when you buy a stolen item, the thief reacts to increased demand by stealing another one.
… responsible funds are just for show …
Those “responsible” ESG-labeled funds (Environmental, Social And Governance) are too lax for modern investors’ thirst for good. We need tighter criteria. Commenter Squizzy here said tailored ethical funds exist: https://lemmy.world/comment/15070231
… donate the money to charities instead.
Good, but unsustainable. You can grow charity power by growing money in benefit corporations, such as Mozilla.
Not all places went eternal September:
Some sites/apps had filters to hide low effort people.
Some had strict rules that were enforced, so even if you were clueless coming in, you would upskill fast while using it.
Some had a good onboarding course making upskilling a breeze.
The activity can be limited, and so can the risk:
Once in about 5 years, buy a diversified portfolio of 30 companies in at least 10 countries on at least 2 continents in at least 3 unrelated industries, and forget for 5 years.
Maybe prefer to buy in a depression and sell on a bubble if you’re feeling extra active. Just be sure to diversify in time by buying at different times to avoid accidentally investing everything on top of a global bubble.
Between stock sprees, save into a regular savings account.
Buying shares is easy nowadays through many banks’ websites. I use Nordnet.
I have /e/OS 2.9 (based on LineageOS) on a Sony 1 V. The default camera app was crap so I installed Sony Photography Pro (the one that came with the original Android) and it works just fine.
