HyperSane··on Europe drastically cut its energy consumption this winter
"But it's never mentioned in such oh-so-wonderful super-objective democratic example of western journalism as this Economist article, LOL.

The western journalism started to hit the lowest bar set by third-world countries in the last 10-15 years. Or maybe it always was the same propaganda, I just never paid attention and blindly believed it until around 2008-2011."

This has very strong "old man yells at clouds" energy. So where does such an incredibly enlightened person such as yourself get news from?

The only reason we have to try to guess from the video is because Tesla doesn't reveal how much the damn thing weighs. Why has Tesla been so reluctant to reveal something as fundamental as how much the Tesla Semi weighs?

> There’s nothing particularly difficult about 1MW charging

Other than, you know, actually supplying a freaking million watts of electricity. And what if you need to charge ten at once? You really don't seem to grasp just how much electricity that is.

> There isn’t a reduced payload

If a Tesla Semi carrying 11 Jersey barriers on a flatbed weighs 82,000 pounds then their absolutely is a reduced payload. There HAS to be a reduced payload because lithium ion batteries have a MUCH lower energy density by mass than diesel fuel.

> The Megawatt charging is not a huge deal as Tesla already deploys supercharging stations with dozens of 250kW chargers

Absolutely NONE of these can actually charge a Tesla Semi AND 250kW is 1/4 of 1000kW.

It isn't arbitrary, it is last writer wins, which is reasonable enough to me. How SHOULD conflicts be resolved?

Active Directory is eventually consistent, so it is expected that not all nodes will see changes immediately and could operate on stale data.

> they’d be able to make 200,000 semis a year

But 0 other cars.

> it could most certainly make a ton of sense compared to diesel for consumers

Not in most cases when you factor in reduced cargo load due to the 10,000 pound battery and recharging time. You need megawatt charging to get charging time to less than an hour. You won't be able to charge many at the same time with that much current draw. You might even have to warn the power company that you are going to start charging one.

Tesla has been very reluctant to reveal how much the truck can haul but they seem to have accidentally revealed when bragging about how fast the truck can go up hill in the video timestamp I linked to. Tesla said that a truck carrying only 11 jersey barriers on a flat bed weighs 82,000 pounds. This means that the truck is incredibly heavy.

HyperSane··on Tesla Semi Recalled Already, Parking Brake May Fail
Tesla is not going to be able to make many Tesla Semis per month due to the absurd number of batter cells they consume but that might not matter because they make no economic sense.

my understanding is that conflict resolution is done by all domain controllers comparing the USN of each object and replicating the object with the highest USN.

FSMO roles are only used for the tasks which are not suited to multi-master replication. The vast majority of data can be mutated on any domain controller.

Active Directory is the most wildly used multi-master distributed database in the world and it uses update sequence numbers.

An update sequence number (USN) is a 64-bit number in Active Directory that increases as changes occur. Local counters on every domain controller assign USNs.

Whenever an object is changed, its USN is incremented. When replication occurs, only the version of the object with the greatest USN is retained.

Local counters for USNs are considered reliable because they never decrease or "run backward." USNs are also always unique, making it easier for domain controllers to never use the same USNS at the same time.

> Of course there is no left wing propoganda to fall for though, right?

I'm honestly not aware of similar propaganda on the left. By similar I meant an entire industry designed to lie and gaslight people into voting for people who will cause them direct economic harm. The GOP has made lying an entire industry and an art form. Now they are demonizing trans people in a way extremely similar to the way Nazis demonized Jews.

> Do you wonder how you came to form such blatant negative opinions of your political opposites

I know exactly why I have formed such a negative opinion of the GOP, because I've watched them lie blatantly and egregiously for the last 20 years and I'm really sick of it.

> Republicans are some kind of lower intelligence being too

You HAVE to be pretty stupid to fall for the really blatant propaganda the GOP uses. Remember that scary migrant convoy they invented just before an election to use to scare people into voting GOP and then it just vanished right after? Have you heard the incredibly stupid things Tucker Carlson, MGT, Matt Gaetz, and Boebert say? People like Carlson are way too smart to actually believe the crap they spew, they knowingly spend their lives telling lies to gullible and/or stupid people to manipulate them.

In comparison to the GOP yes.
