I’d love to see CoAP/wg play a part here. It’s similar enough to HTTP to be familiar, but not supported in any browser. It supports content types and server sent events. It can be implemented in far less memory and uses far less CPU than TLS. It seems like the perfect protocol for this kind of thing.

Oof. And how much more expensive will the models be to get that 80%?

Rolls knows their customers, as absurd as it may seem. The electrics hit the Royce brand first because it is the car “in which you are driven” and likely the reasons you state. Bentley, the car “you drive” has a different customer base and will be closer to the “normal” hypercar experience.

And the experience makes sense for what Rolls aims to do. Riding in a Spectre feels way more like riding in other Rolls' than it does an EV.

> The supply side is exploding. Demand? I dunno man.

Isn’t that the nature of the paradox; that we can’t predict where the demand comes from and yet it does?

None of the AWS “outages” have impacted us. They have either been regional, in which case we stand down the region (we run multiple hot regions), or didn’t involve things we need to maintain operation.

I can’t imagine AWS ever doing such a cascading delete. I mean, they have made deletion protection a difficult thing to ignore even for individual resources.

I was under the impression that it was illegal to have any kind of light emitting signage on a moving vehicle. Does this vary by jurisdiction?

Everything to do with cars varies by jurisdiction..

Difficult to work out what the law is for side visible displays is in the UK, though. Front and back ones may be limited to white or red.

I'm now wondering how camera only self driving cars are going to cope with this, too.

Yes. Video trucks are already common in Las Vegas, NV, USA.

In DC too. Usually associated with political campaigns, although I recently saw one advertising Uber Teens outside a school.

For trucks, it varies by the trip. There is county/locality, state and federal jurisdiction.

Operators are adept at gaming the system. From Chinatown busses that use sequences of shell companies, to operators who operate out of friendly locales in a limited radius.

Agreed. OP, get a CYD (Cheap Yellow Display) and run wild.

Regarding the viability of rewrites of successful PoCs: Does the current environment change the math? How difficult would it be to overcome the inertia/hesitation/perception of slow, painful projects that may no longer be so?

Perhaps an aside, but the things we do to compensate for the warts of TCP are staggering.

This isn't a TCP problem, though. It's a fetch API problem.

Even if fetch ran over UDP, or a direct serial connection, or IP over Avian carrier, it'd still be a poor API that doesn't allow progress indication.
