Use DID:Web for your account ID with a TLD not under US control, and you get that today.

One of those right wing instances started with federation, but after getting counter trolled, mass blocked, and then mass defederated, they called sour grapes and disabled federation

Upper management culture is cancer, they're the ones deciding they don't need competence

Try multiple different periods of years of it... :/

Sucks, man. (got something now, though)

And people like that boss doesn't even realize he's celebrating his own inefficiency and incompetence when declaring they'll go through that many applications without hiring somebody. Why do you want to be bad at finding talent and why do you want people to know you can't recognize skill?

It should count as discounted, not "free money", because (aside from potential licensing costs) there's no big fixed expenses per-sale for these items

The optimal method for range is basically PWM (pedal then pause and repeat) at the highest output that you can sustain (up to a limit, where both increased losses from the speed during bursts and from your muscles becomes too high)

Apparently regenerative breaking efficiency in bikes is rather limited (small motors / generators, high friction). It still increases the range a fair bit (enough to be a better investment than bigger batteries), but efficiency is still not as high in bikes as in bigger vehicles which can drive more kinetic energy into bigger generators with better individual wheel control

Some paper says ~25% extra range in bikes at the high end vs ~50% energy savings in Japanese trains. Different units for those numbers, but you can infer that trains has much more efficient regenerative breaking because that number indicate a doubled range for the same amount of energy used.

There's entire factions like Randians who disagree with furious intensity

That's like comparing only to a person on a bike downhill

Maybe compare to birds tracking upwards air currents to move while hovering, as they actually maintain a low average energy expenditure while moving

I can confirm you lost the game

Literally just use existing standards (STIR/STUN) with some filtering by source network, etc
