I think the economic model that leads to widespread inequity is absolutely a problem, and a thorny one that will need to be solved for sure. But while I'm happy to dedicate mental-space to that question, I see no advantage in dedicatin

I read recently a pretty good take on this. It goes something like, in order of most risky to least risky: - Government funding is for super high risk, high reward long shots that may never work or prove useful. - Then, VC funding when it&#

I don't understand why people dedicate so much of their daily energy hating on billionaires' hobbies. The real waste of resource, in my mind, isn't in billionaires spending their pocket money in space exploration. It's i

Not as big a need to protect the robot, but the robot might be trying to protect other people, and thus would require some method of disabling an attacker. Egregious example: a hostage situation, or an active shooter situation. With a remot

Historically, providing alternative methods of de-escalating situations to law enforcement has proven effective in diminishing usage of lethal force. In the end it's speculation, and your guess or mine. Your guess is premised on (1) th

My brother is doing research on suspicious usage of "Suicide by cop" as a cause of death, a phenomenon where police departments and coroners may be overly broad in their application of the label. I hadn't thought about this,

I think _autonomous_ weapon systems that pick targets and fire autonomously are obviously scary. However - and this is probably not going to be popular - I think if robots are remote controlled, it's probably for the best if lawful-vio

I agree, Medium is pretty annoying to use as a reader. And for some strange reason, it doesn't work with Firefox's "reader view". I don't understand why people keep using this platform.

I'd buy the Kona, they're really great car. I'd buy it again, personally. The recall is a mild annoyance and the risk is fairly low. Also the recall here is painless. And newer models aren't susceptible to the flaw in th

I think there's been enough battery fires so far across all manufacturers to recognize a few fires as an actual problem. At least that's my perception of recent, as I'm going through a recall for our Kona EV battery.

Right for the slow chargers, I hadn't thought this was what the GP meant. In any case the DCFC definitely don't step up 350KW of power from 120 to 800V, as that would defeat the whole purpose of using a higher voltage.

It doesn't go from 120 to 800V, it gets reduced from a higher voltage to 800.

I was at a unicorn that didn't have any career level/framework and was growing fast. _Many_ engineers and ICs were asking management to add such a framework. In other cases, other employees were complaining that "titles actua

I think a lot of people just lack the education and context that you have, and so don't come to the same conclusion. Just 25min ago, I was in favor of getting vaccinated myself, but didn't understand why I should care about other

I'm not worried at all, I'm eager to be able to get a mRNA vaccine, but no vaccine at all is available to my age group where I live. I envy y'all.

What if there's unpredictable long term consequences? Like, turns out XYZ compounds gives cancer but that only become detectable after 18+ months. Although I admit I don't know if regular trials would uncover these either. I have

Forgive me for asking a dumb question, and I mean no wrongthought in asking it: if I'm vaccinated, why should I care if others aren't? Does it change anything for my life from here? EDIT: thanks for the answers, exactly the info I

People seem to forget or not know that Canada is already in a grey middle ground where free-speech is limited, and hate speech is considered a crime. And so far, the fact that Canada doesn't take a free-speech-absolutist position on th

It doesn't refill your gas tank though, you just use the momentum, friction and heating up of compressed air of your engine to slow down, wasting all the energy of going downhill into heat. EVs on the other hand get a partial refund fo

Have you tried? I've got good 30min conversations with lawyers on the phone for 0$, and them telling me I didn't need their services after all, but to call them if X happens. Same with many other professionals, FWIW.

Before I could give more of a look into it, the license jumped at me. What's the idea behind using GPLv3? Who do you want to enable to use this, versus whom are you trying to prevent from using this?

Interesting answer and thanks for providing it. Do you think the geography of the coast changes how expensive this gets? I'd think a coast that goes deep quickly or has strong currents wouldn't need as much spread out disposal inf

Did I get this right: the primary process is basically an LTO battery where salt-water sits behind the LTO's membrane, and when the battery is "charged", the Lithium ions are "sucked" into the battery-side's el

That's true if your program only does a single unmarshal at a time at a leisurely pace. And in a steady state situation, the memory trashing left behind each individual unmarshal call needs to be paid up by some poor future request. I
