“Wang Chuanfu, BYD’s CEO, barely slept for weeks. Three passengers, all in their twenties. His chemistry. His cell. His company’s name on the casing. He had not built it to kill anyone, but it had. He pulled his engineers together with one question: What is the mechanism by which this cell fails, and how do we make that physically impossible”

Someone needs to get this article in front of Mark Carney and Doug Ford and then the stupid limits on Chinese cars need to be eliminated so Canada can start building these things immediately.

This is the future.

China is leading that future and we need to come to terms with it and use our influence to make it, and them, better.

From the “no shit, didn’t see this coming” department:

District Judge ​Jeremy Daniel in Chicago said drivers in the proposed class action ⁠can try to prove that Allstate violated the Federal Wiretap Act by monitoring ​their travel locations, trip distances, speed, acceleration, braking, phone usage and attention to ​the road, and tried to monetize that data to boost profit.

Reminds me of the cool chat @thedarktangent and I had years ago at Blackhat London about the oncoming privacy nightmares of modern cars

About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.
