  • I think the real root cause is governments allowing corporations to grow so large that any competitive effects are removed. In the absense of real regulation there's no way for competition to occur, allowing corporations to squeeze every dime they can from their customers.

  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Hannah Montana Linux, is in fact, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Miley plus Hannah. Hannah Montana Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Miley Cyrus system made useful by the Miley corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Disney.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the Miley system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Miley which is widely used today is often called Hannah Montana Linuxand many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Miley Cyrus system, developed by the Miley Cyrus Project.

    There really is a Hannah Montana Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Hannah Montana is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Hannah Montana Linux is normally used in combination with the Miley Cyrus operating system: the whole system is basically Miley Cyrus with Hanna Montana added, or Miley/Hannah. All the so-called Hanna MontanaLinux distributions are really distributions of Miley/Hannah!

  • I think the bar is pretty high for EVs. I have a non-Telsa EV, and the driving experience is just so nice. Even if the rest of the car had a bunch of issues I would imagine the way that Teslas drive would be enough to still make people love them. They would probably love a better built EV more.

  • Batteries can be fixed, they're made of cells and they don't all die at once. You don't have to replace the whole battery and there's already shops who will refurb them. Hoovie on YouTube got hia Tesla S battery fixed for 2500 bucks.

    Edit: Also, there's secondary uses for cells. You can use EV battery cells in all kinds of applications from grid storage to RC cars. Again, there's companies repurposing them already. You can buy second hand cells from a bunch of places.

  • The major problem here is that the US is owned by the oil industry and they will never allow competitive EVs to be built here. The US could easily match what China's doing, but those subsidies go to oil instead.
