This BYD rapid charge news seemed gimmicky to me at first but if you can charge in five minutes then an EV no longer needs the big batteries that some cars have.

Most of my return trips in my EV are under 100km, why get an EV with a battery that can provide 500km of range.

‘

Shares of Tesla tumbled 5.3 per cent Tuesday, while BYD Co. shot to an all-time high after unveiling an electric car that can be charged as quickly as a gas vehicle is refueled.

For those younger, Nazi shit used to be siloed in places like Stormfront. In the 2010s the Silicon Valley techbros discovered that hate&rage was very addictive and started feeding people more and more fringe content to addict them to their sites.
Pervasive hate was normalized to maximize profits.

1930s nazis relied on IBM.
Modern nazis relied on Google and Facebook and Twitter.
Capitalism unmoored from morality always delivers horrors.

"Let's Encrypt is a golden example of how creating inalienable good is possible with the right approach and the right values. And while I'm excited about the work Let's Encrypt has done, I am eager to see their work continue to keep up with the growing Web; to sustain encryption for everybody at Internet scale. To do so is going to take more than me—it's going to take a community of people committed to this work. I am confident Let's Encrypt is a project that deserves all of our support, in ways both large and small." https://letsencrypt.org/2025/03/18/community-of-funders/

Researchers at Harvard Business School and University of Toronto used unique data to quantify the value of open source.

Takeways:

* Supply-side (cost to recreate) is ~$4.15B, but demand-side (value to firms) is $8.8T. Shows massive cost savings & productivity boost from OSS.

* If OSS didn't exist, firms would need to spend an estimated 3.5 times more on software than they currently do. OSS provides a massive, often invisible, productivity boost.

* A tiny fraction of OSS developers create the vast majority of value. Only 5% of developers are responsible for over 96% of the demand-side value

* Firms should not just "free ride" on OSS but actively contribute to the ecosystem, as this is far cheaper than recreating the software themselves.

It’s almost funny how, like two years ago, the big discussion was whether software engineers have a duty to employ the most rigorous methods (formal specification, generative testing, advanced static typing, etc.) when building software, whether we ought to be a licensed profession, be held accountable for poor engineering, etc. Now the only topic is how all code will be written by LLMs in 6 months
