Fantastic news!

I've been saying this for years: ebikes should have USB-C PD ports for charging!

Finally a manufacturer has actually done it. In this case using 140W power delivery, which is way higher power than any ebike charger I've ever used. And USB-C PD now supports up to 240W, which is more than enough for ebikes.

I hope this becomes the norm:

Finally, an e-bike that charges off USB-C

The Ampler Nova e-bikes can be charged in three hours using a standard 140W USB-C PD 3.1 laptop charger.

We were asked for a statement in response to the 22 people who were struck last week, including 4 over the course of an hour and a half on Sunday. A shortened version of that statement was used in a news story today, but our call to action was left out.

Our full response is below.

@tommythorn @regehr On the contrary, adding register windows complicates things a lot. The physical register count is not the part that is the problem.

bumping this post because we have started reviewing applications and i’m concerned the ad hasn’t reached enough #programmingLanguages applicants.

we really want to hire in PL (see “next-generation software” in the job post), which is not an area that gets tenure lines every year in most CS departments. please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
