That statement compares the one set of vehicles to another. It is using “batteries and electricity” to identify one set and “internal combustion” to identify another but it seems to be talking about the whole vehicle. In that context, EVs a

We tried that 40 years ago when unleaded became the norm for other uses. The planes were grandfathered in. It’s time for grandfather to move on.

Apple doesn't make their money by collecting your information. they make their money mostly by selling you expensive stuff and by selling you streaming services.

True but the mass of lithium or sodium in a battery is limited. A Tesla Model S which has a large battery uses 62.6 kg (about 130 pounds) of lithium. You only need to separate that once. This limits the amount of energy needed to produce th

there are things that I heat for 11 seconds. If it is in there for more than 12 seconds, it starts to overcook. An analog dial is a poor choice in this case.

My microwave has "sensor" modes for cooking various things but you don't have any control over the temperature it targets.

Set the column/cell format to “text” and it will retain what you typed.

by Tagbert 3y ago
You can already designate a cell a “text” which would block conversion to date or other formats. This problem applies to the default cell format and particularly to data imported from CSV and TXT files.

then you have everything run by the equivalent of insurance companies. That would be much worse. Companies are not inherently more responsive or even more efficient.

People also become tired of engaging in the constant need to decide on various issues and disconnect. Legislator have to vote on hundreds of issues over the course of a year. Do you want to have to do a public vote every week? How do the pe

That comment is buried pretty deeply in the thread and it can take time for people to notice and react. It is grayed out now.

Proper archeology carefully excavates a site and observes and documents the soil of the dig as they go through the various layers. You can tell from analyzing the soil layers if they have been recently disturbed.

Not the transaction financial information but certainly the purchase amount and location are not covered by PCI restrictions and if a gas chain can find someone to pay them for that information, then they already have the arrangements and a

there is the proposed Alcubierre drive that would allow you to get from point A to point B faster than light. The reason is that you are not traveling through space-time but you are causing space-time to move. It is a clever way around &quo

It seems that Tesla plans to upgrade their charging network to support higher voltages for charging. This is also needed for their upcoming truck, it seems. Hyundai suggested in a response to Green Car Reports that Tesla is on board to supp

That is why Tesla has handed NACS to SAE to formalize it as an independent standard free from encumbrance.

I haven’t seen Rivian financial reports but I have on some other EV manufacturers like Ford. A lot of those have negative bottom lines because they are making large capitol expenditures on equipment and factories for batteries and productio

That is similar to all the blog reports last spring claiming Ford was losing $3B a year on their EVs based on the bottom line numbers in their quarterly reports. Those same blogs ignored the numbers earlier in the report about Ford spending

If they made it harder to accidentally switch watch faces, I’m all in. I kept looking at my watch and finding the face had changed due to it being too easy to press it and change it. Make it so that you have to actually choose something. I

It has been tried with different goals. Part of the problem is that we are not smart enough to design for the full complexity of society in a city and end up with cities that only partially work. Naturally evolved cities tend to handle that

It is not, yet, a full replacement. You can use Swift UI for some kinds of apps but there are UIs that are still harder in it. Apple acknolwedges that some people still need to use Appkit. It’s clear that their long term plan is to build ou

And they took millions of years to evolve and depend on microbes living in their gut to digest the wood. They have to keep those microbes in a protected environment to allow them do do the digestion. They aren’t just digesting wood out in t

Wood doesn’t spontaneously rot at a rate that is problematic. This new enzyme requires temperatures of around 70C to operate. Any microbe that does evolve to eat plastic will probably need some specific living conditions. They are unlikely
