Looks like #Aptera is ditching the idea of in-wheel motors. They say it's for the launch edition only, but something's telling me they're going to stick with it. This is sad.

I'm reminded of the Chernobyl TV series on HBO. I thought it was fascinating that they went through all of the fail-safes that were in place to prevent a meltdown. They finally landed on the one cut corner that sealed their fate. (I don't know how accurate it was. But it was great TV.)
Anyway. If you look at this debacle and what you land on is "Crowdstrike engineers should've been more perfect", then I don't think that's the right takeaway.

I am largely convinced that every time JD Vance is talking, the Trump campaign is actively losing votes. Here's a clip originally posted on Twitter (aka Daily Stormer the Social Media site) in which Vance essentially proposes rigging elections for parents who have a lot of children.
“Let’s give votes to all children in this country, but let’s give control over those votes to the parents of those children.”
Vance goes on to frame this as a "skin the game" argument based around what you have invested in the future of America; notably however, he doesn't argue that young people should get more votes, or that your vote should somehow count less if you are unlikely to live long enough to see "the consequences."
This is pretty much Vance's specialty, twisting vaguely "populist" sounding arguments into something that pushes planks of the reactionary, fascist agenda - in this case the argument that because children are our future, young people should be involved in our political process, is mangled into a reactionary "stakeholders" should have more political power argument, with a little bit of encouragement to have more babies, to obtain more political power. Which ties in quite nicely with nazi obsessions about the declining birthrate of white Americans, and the demographic realities that cracker Christians typically have much larger families than urban liberals. Throw in a little bit of racialized voter suppression and you're more or less talking about rigging US politics for fascists here.
Vance's ideas are deeply unserious, but his reasons for sharing them are invariably rooted in reactionary political agendas.
Hattip to the person on my Discord who shared this video.

I would not bet on these things being true:
‘“This election will be about policies and not personalities,” House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters after the meeting.
“This is not personal with regard to Kamala Harris,” he added, “and her ethnicity or her gender have nothing to do with this whatsoever.”’

strongly agree:
“Trump had an opportunity to solidify the lead he gained in recent weeks. With an undisciplined performance, he missed this opportunity, leaving the door open for a Democratic candidate with the energy and vigor to point out Trump’s obvious flaws and extreme policy agenda.”

On Monday, @bcantrill and I were joined by @k8em0 to discuss the largest global IT outage in history. It was an event as broadly impactful as it will be instructive. As Bryan noted, you can see all of computing from here, from crash dumps to antitrust.
A huge thanks to Katie who was just an extraordinary guest. You don't want to miss this one!

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Infuriated by J.D. Vance’s disparagement of childless cat owners, the nation’s cats are planning a mass protest at his next campaign appearance... announcing what they are calling the Million Meow March, the cats wrote... “He may think that cat owners suck,” the statement continued. “But you know what really sucks? ‘Hillbilly Elegy.’ We couldn’t get through the first ten minutes, and we cats can look at almost anything for hours.”
