And even this comparison is lenient towards the ICE. That one gallon of gas doesn’t just poof into existence into the gas tank of the car, there’s a certain kWh requirement of energy to go from not having that gallon of gas, to having it. O

You can produce hydrogen in two main ways. 1) Electrolisys where efficiency is around 70-80 %. 2) Via natural gas which is less efficient and also requires a fossile source. Add now on top of this additional energy losses due to transportat

Hydrogen fueled cars waste more energy than pure BEVs and PHEVs. I don't think they are a good idea. Hydrogen could be a decent storage option for excess wind and solar, but there are probably more cost-effective solutions on the horiz

A low sample size does not mean that the result of a study are not valid. No researcher would get funding for a large study right off the bat when looking for something novel. You always start with a prospective study of a small sample size

I used to be similar, but now when we have a child and both me and my wife work, things change. Life is much easier to handle when we have an idea of what to eat for the week and a shared shopping list. This way, as the chaos of life occurs

I have the same experience with a handheld garmin from like 20 years ago. This was in Finland while boating, the gps suddenly decided we were going around 700mph heading north north west. It lasted for around 30min or so before it returned

Fast charging is really only relevant in two scenarios: 1) You want to travel further in one go than the cars range 2) You do not have access to at home charging For those who can charge at home, fast charging is really only needed for long

I don't see the charge rate as a problem. [The new MCS standard for trucks will charge at around 3 MW]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megawatt_Charging_System ), so clearly it is entirely possible to deal with even

Reddit is not a platform for self-promotion, and moderators there are very keen for it not becoming such a place. Each subreddit is moderated differently by completely volunteer moderators. How things are in one subreddit does not really te

If it's winter you can easily go to 50-80 kWh/day, even if you use geothermal. Cold climates are cold.

I used Flowdock back in the day. It was excellend, did threading better than Slack and was nice and fast. Never understood why more wasn't invested into it. Maybe the backend code was a mess? Who knows, but definitely back in the day a

I agree, If you have enough followers on Twitter the retweet, like and "similar posters" spam is already so severe that rather than scrolling down a mile to see if someone I follow posted the previous night I end up just visiting

That's a bit of a rude comment, I found the story to be very interesting. The device itself is from 2002. Most people don't read everything published on the internet annually, and things that are no longer trending on TikTok or Ha

I guess I am old but the assumption I live by is that if power is suddenly cut from a computer - no matter desktop or laptop - it can damage the FS and/or cause data loss. For any mission critical stuff, I have it behind a UPS.

There's been no talk publicly about accepting nuclear waste from other countries. ONKALO is financed through fees gathered from electricity generated by nuclear energy in Finland. This facility is meant to hold Finnish spent nuclear fu

To me those nested sub sub sub SQL queries come from a similar place as beginner coders who tend to make nested IF statements - a lack of experience with the language. For very complicated stuff, SQL does become very hard to read compared t

There's a lot of dplyr code out there, and a lot of people who know most every part of the tidyverse by heart, making breaking changes like this so far into a frameworks life would cause a lot of unnecessary work in re-coding old code

Im not so sure it's always best to optimize for absolute performance, how you should code a solution to a specific problem is always dependant on it's context IMO. I work on a lot of smaller IT projects for SME's, internal to

This is a big issue with a lot of ML algorithms - it causes issues with consistency. Prioritising apps in auto complete search should be done with a simple tally of how many times the user has opened the program, perhaps as a rolling n days

You take three samples and two of three get shown the same thing. What happens here is both A groups will show different results until your sample grows enough that the CI window becomes small. This helps to show the effect of a low sample

It is an odd argument for many reasons, but it seems to be the one that is given more often. Yet I've never seen any specific reasons why a single-payer system can work in e.g. Finland and Sweden and not in the US. Healthcare benefits

Why do you believe single-payer is a bad idea? The model works very well in most European countries.
