I have used Kagi for several weeks and can't go back. I can finally find things on the internet again and I don't want to lose that again.

It's likely been hacked by someone who guessed the default login details (when was the last time you changed the password on your washing machine), and is being used for malicious purposes such as DDoS attacks.

It hasn't happened to me, but passengers have been severely injured before.

An example of a minor incident.

Listen to the safety briefing. They wouldn't bother telling you if it wasn't important.

Keep your seatbelt on for the entire flight. The pilots can't always predict turbulence, and hitting the ceiling hurts.

Lithium batteries scale power and capacity at the same time. Flow batteries can scale power and capacity independently.

The advantage of flow batteries is that they can have enormous capacities without the added cost of upgrading the power, making it ideal for grid scale storage.

Even if this new flow battery reaches the energy density of a lithium battery, and can output sufficient power, it would still need to reach price parity to be competitive.

Adequate for cargo flights, not happening any time soon for passenger flights. Aviation safety is very strict and slow to change.

Flow batteries are great for long duration storage, but not good for high power delivery.

This means they will work far better as grid storage than as EV batteries.

I have a prototype self driving system in my car. It drives logically and consistently, but it doesn't behave like a human.

This would be a really helpful feature as self driving becomes more common.

An Arabic digit is a number.

You might be numb, but you could always be an Arabic digit.

 

But at least you're not one of the people getting on a ship.
