@arstechnica Not in the market for a new car, let alone a luxury electric car. But if I had been considering one, this executive decision tells me everything I have to know about Polestar management.

@arstechnica "inexplicably" ? When the business is to track an individual...how best do you do that ? car, phone, computer, tv, bathroom equipment. i bet tv and toilets with polestar brand is next.

Perimeter devices ought to prevent network hacks. Why are so many devices allowing attacks?

@arstechnica >Perimeter devices ought to prevent network hacks. Why are so many devices allowing attacks?

Because of shitty engineering and nobody giving a fuck about doing things right.

It just isn't more exciting than that. Sorry.

A great recent example is the shoddy Python in Palo Alto devices (CVE-2024-3400), and of course being run as root because why not:

Business groups sue FTC to block ban on noncompetes, claim they help workers

Noncompete clauses "benefit employers and workers alike," Chamber tells court.

@arstechnica Pretending that non-competes help workers is such an obvious lie on the part of the various chambers and local cable TV orgs, that it beggars belief that Ars failed to provide any push-back against the claim.

It's largely a win against scammers, but a simple policy doesn't fit all games.

The only options are to shut down the American subsidiary (maybe continuing service from Europe), and to go to the federal supreme court claiming that the bill violates the First Amendment. On Zhihu most think the former outcome is very likely.

Maybe we can start to bet on the outcome of the East Asian theater of .

SpaceX has now landed more boosters than most other rockets ever launch

Can the Falcon 9 eventually challenge Soyuz for launch totals?

@arstechnica

Do we know whether the recyclable rocket is actually economically superior yet?

Past studies have suggested that the cost of recovering and refurbishing rockets exceeded the cost of just building new ones. Of course, they weren't imagining the rockets coming back to a designated re-entry area.

Mercedes’ electric G-Wagon is more capable than the gas version

With four motors, deeper fording, and more power you can forget about the gas version.

@arstechnica I doubt gas vehicles will be "forgotten" for any actual off road use in the perceivable future. One doesn't ford rivers to reach the next EV charging station.
