Honestly at this point, bring back the V10's.
Genuine question here: What's the cost-exchange ratio here? Naval mines are cheap, dumb, and can be deployed in enormous quantities. Mine-clearing USVs and drones are comparatively expensive, slow, and bottlenecked on operator attention even when they're autonomous-ish. If one side can lay mines an order of magnitude faster than the other side can clear them, this "drones solve it" narrative falls apart pretty quickly.

Also, stepping back, I'd love to see the strategic objective for this war that aren't Zionist talking points. Every public justification I've seen either assumes a regime-change end state that historically hasn't worked in the region, or quietly relies on the premise that the costs for the war are someone else's problem.

Agreed. Americans why are you like this?
They have aligned themselves with he people you should exactly NOT trust. Corporations and governments.
Was a good meme about this somewhere, how DocuSign was not automated at all and the 7000 employees was so they could scan everything physically.
I'll take window number 2, whilst continuing the notion that they haven't lowered their greed.

Quite frankly, it's just not worth the time or maintenance.
My thoughts exactly, albeit not easily extracted from my comments.

Sounds like I should increase my climate / sustainability consultantcy fraud by 45%
Probably the fact that the US Intelligence agencies can't spy on it.

Ffs why do we need arbiters of truth on the internet. We didn't trust in back in the day, why are we under a notion that we can and should trust it today?! Where are people's critical thinking skills?

I've never read something so self ingratiating, yet also rant like. Seemingly an average social network post. No content, all substance.

Terribly misleading headline. Afaik the only venture seemingly in the works is a hardware venture.
Good old built in the USA.

If you're posting on the YC and not on the tism spectrum, something is up.

Also, perhaps you should understand their PoV, it is likely they have deeply thought something through and perhaps they find it best or understand that they simply do not need to communicate with you.

There's one in every thread.

The notion of their being any competiom in F1 is laughable.

Stop trying to make Formula E a thing. It's just not going to happen. If you have not been in the presence of the orchestral cacophony that is V10 engine's slinging around 18k rpm, you loose your right to comment.
Petroleum car is also bomb. Lithium car is also bomb.
I run a race car on methanol. There's reasons why we don't use it for civilian pedestrian use cases. Number one your eyes immediately start burning from the combustion gases. Secondly the hygroscopic nature of it leads to corrosion.

I'd be interested if there's any weapon's systems engineers on here and what their thoughts are on their own morals when their creations are being used by people with even less morals.

Silicon Valley and the VC's who fund it will take anybodies money if they could.

I say this on the biggest VC platform.

Yes, that's what I intend. To keep the schema and sync the objects via AAD connect or what ever microsoft wants to call AAD now.
So glad I will be turning my Hybrid off by the end of the year.
