He just pointed out that their demonstration video can be easily explained without any superconduction. I don't see why you need to be a professional physicist for that.
Do you also need to be a physicist to point out that their "levitating" sample is in fact still touching the magnet?
Or that the "0 resistance" is actually 1000x more resistive than copper.
I went searching and was sad to find it'll ship without touch support. The display sure sounds great, but lacking touch is kind of a deal breaker for me.
With this change and Reddit removing NSFW content from the API, at the same time. I think both sites will be way less used. And another competitor will appear quickly. Look like they want became irrelevant very quickly. Tumblr and Only Fans tried and falied. one became forgotten and the other had to say sorry was a mistake.
False (at least in this case). From the Treasury’s statement: “No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.”
"In a separate announcement, the Fed late Sunday announced an expansive emergency lending program that's intended to prevent a wave of bank runs that would threaten the stability of the banking system and the economy as a whole."
"The Treasury has set aside $25 billion to offset any losses incurred under the Fed’s emergency lending facility."
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
First from the assets of SVB (IOW, from the shareholders’ equity). After that, there is the possibility of special assessments from other member banks, consistent with the (quite short) Treasury statement: “Shareholders and certain unsecured debtholders will not be protected. Senior management has also been removed. Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.”
I don't think it's nearly clear enough at this point to trust a politically-loaded statement like that, straight from the horse's mouth. There are a lot of ways to obscure this, through inflating the money supply or deferring costs for years or (most insidiously) moving risk around. The money is apparently coming from a special assessment on all other banks in the US; will the customers of those banks see themselves paying more in fees or earning less in interest as a result? Does this drain whatever reserves FDIC has, possibly requiring it to draw funds from the taxpayer in the future when something else bad happens? How does this affect the risk decisions made by other banks, knowing they will be backstopped by the public if, like someone with a bomb strapped to their chest, they promise to take everyone down with them? Apparently SVB was offering loans on very appealing terms to tech companies if they kept deposits at the bank. Companies made the decision to take those terms, accepting the counterparty risk in lieu of paying higher interest on loans from other, more stable banks. Over and over we hear that financial returns are justified because of the risks taken. So is that just a sham, then?

This is a key question, and the reason traditional banking and investment banking should not be allowed in one company.

Nobody in "the public" is losing faith in banks. FDIC covers everybody up to $250k. If you have more money than that and can't be arsed to split it up into multiple accounts that's on you.
Are you reporting it? Is something happening when you do?
The content isn’t the issue. The question is: would Twitter moderate that content when it breaks their ToS? Apple and Google consider Twitters moderation efforts good enough.
My Model S charges in 20 minutes at a Tesla Supercharger when not at home (very occasionally 40 min if I’m on a road trip and am charging to 100% state of charge). One of the grocery stores we frequent has a Supercharger station. Mandate DC fast charging.
Which is odd! Tesla has covered most of Europe with Superchargers, and supports 250kw charge rates in many locations. Curious why other automakers don’t support higher charge rates.
On the other hand most of the cars have a smaller battery than a Model S, which works the other way (eg a Model 3 SR charges in about half those times).
Haven't EVs outside of China basically standardised on either CCS2 or CHaDeMo? (it's also pretty easy for a charger to support both).
