Oh sweet, a nicely collated list of targets for a bunch of these little things.

Intriguing, but I'd prefer a data set spanning a few more vehicles and brands. Is this 80% result still true for, say, the Nissan Leaf or the Hyundai Ioniq? Ooh, how about the F-150 Lightning? Does heavier truck hauling have an effect on that metric?

EDIT: They did. The charts were just further down, past the Tesla specific one.

How about we do anyway?

Not suitable for this.

GPS is a purely one-way method, with the satellites transmitting only their position and a timecode, leaving the receiver to do the triangulation. And if they did send any sort of custom data packets over that method, it would just confuse the crap out of every other receiver across most of the world, causing potential device crashes, drawing attention from ham operators worldwide...

And also massively pissing off the US military. Turns out a lot of their equipment and munitions make use of GPS and INS, so fucking with those satellites is a no-go.

I think you're off by a decade there. My 2010 car has no mobile connectivity.

Oh. Right.
I forgot that varies between states. Mine allows class 3 without a license.

The only point that was even remotely valid was the "over 30" bit, and that's already covered by laws on e-bike classifications.

If your e-bike doesn't cut pedal assist at 28, or throttle only at 20, it is now a motorcycle and must be licensed and registered as such.

I was concerned about that too, so I did some digging. I don't think it's anything beyond angel investment currently. No stocks (slate is private), and no obvious strings.

My guess is, it's to ensure slate sticks around long enough to be a target for future plans. Maybe an amazon slate fleet?

Could also be the billionaire class equivalent of trying to start a pissing match with the existing auto makers.

Huh, and I thought that was only for the os activation, but no. ESU support is right there, under the TSForge activation method.

Slate is looking more and more enticing every day.

Well, you heard the judge. Get ready to start cranking out a crapton of anti-trump AI videos. Make sure he's extra incoherent and dementia-riddled.

It's possible they haven't discovered why yet.
So far, I've found two things.

  • The pyroptosis pathway triggered is the typical one (lots of Caspase-1 proteins get assembled into a giant inflammosome complex and attack Gasdermin D, which then starts poking holes in the cell membrane).
  • The EPS3.9 molecule has a high affinity for a five separate membrane lipids.

But without any formal biochemistry training, I am missing a lot of prerequisite knowledge.

Is that high affinity above normal? Does it need to bind all five to enter the cell, or just any of them? Are those lipids, or that combination of lipids, exclusive to tumor cells? I have no info on any of these questions.

It's also entirely possible that it's attacking healthy liver cells too, just at a reduced rate due to cancer cells being resource hogs.

 

I feel this sometimes, both physically and mentally.

As nicely as this avocado tree is growing, it does need to be prompted to start branching out at some point.
If I prune off those top baby leaves and leave the two nodes intact, will it start branching from both, or only one?

Current height is around 14 inches tall.

 

Teasing aside, this works surprisingly well. The default settings for dehydrate is 150°F, which is well under the glass transition temperature for PETG.

Would not recommend for ABS/ASA. I have no idea what temperature that plastic starts putting out its toxic fumes at, and I don't want to find out.
