Yeah, it's insane watching this degree of confirmation bias unfold real time just reading this thread. Directly addressing what this person is saying with the facts isn't going to work, because it's obvious that nothing can c

You're just redoing the same math I did. >Hub on one side, no hub on the other, average $2.00 extra there, $0 extra back. This is difficult to believe that it isn't a bad faith argument to pad a comparison, because hubs are lit

Yeah, ex-Epic here as well. Epic's data surfaces are byzantine almost by design , as a form of security or safety. It can only be construed as gatekeeping in that Epic has never prioritized making it better for non-customers.

Trailers are non-starters for most vehicles. Better to bring the batteries to charge the cars when they need it: https://www.sparkcharge.io/

That's because Tesla owners have disposable income and tend to charge in suburban or rural homes. Swapping is aimed more at lower-income segments or delivery/maintenance services in urban areas.

Same way you designate loading/passenger zone parking or bus/taxi only lanes for large parts of cities.

Why can't it be both? Easy-access technology can be a first step to changing political mindsets.

>Still cheaper to own. Bay Wheels is $159/year and about $2.00 a ride, meaning you would need to ride 520 times that year before it became cheaper to own. Also for regular bikes it's free each ride. That's ignoring that d

The biggest benefit of using the Bay Wheels subscription over owning is not having to worry about your e-bike being stolen. It's definitely worth it at the price point it's currently at. The only downside is that as people return

Lime and other scooters in SF used to have much less expensive subscription options, but they've all recently dropped them for much more expensive ones. Bay Wheels bike annual subscription is worth it but only if you use them regularly

You don't even need to go that far with the on-board hardware. Just track battery exchange history with charging pattern data, and identify offenders. Bad actors can spoof the battery charge reader, but it's much harder to spoof

Yeah this sounds more like change management issues with the tech rather than steady-state problems. Changing anything is hard, but what about after the change?

That's because real estate pricing is fixed to nearby inventory. Zillow doesn't have to buy many homes in a neighborhood to inflate the prices of all the homes, it just needs to buy 1 or 2.

This hasn't always been the case with real estate though. The market used to be much more accessible, and tech bubbles overlapping into it are just further destroying it.

It's definitely happening, also compounded by chip shortages and supply chain issues. I've leased the last six years but only in the 8 months have I had dealerships calling me with offers to buy out my lease just to get the car b

RO filters are not price accessible the vast majority of people who do not currently have access to potable water. Same with desalination.

*Printing money, but in response to covid stagnation in 2020. Printing and interest rates are separate. There was still a missed opportunity to increase interest rates while the economy was running hot prior to 2020.

That's an interesting take. I was thinking more along the lines of huge (albeit expensive) algae bioreactors in empty deserts for a more controlled GMO environment, but one that would allow for much more accelerated carbon capture to

Why not just ditch time zones altogether and have everyone on the same clock? DST was good enough to implement while in an agrarian society, so why not the universal clock in a global connected society? Just imagine the precision. <&#x2

I mean, this is not that much different than Microsoft pushing sky drive, cortana, edge, etc. wherever they can in Windows. It's annoying as hell but feels on par with the course they've been going with Windows anyways.

It sounds like they're brokering in carbon tax credits, especially given the new U.S. subsidies for carbon capture. i.e. We'll give you seeds to plant on your own land but we retain all the rights to carbon subsidies and credits.

Couple things: - C4 fixation is a characteristic of smaller, monocot plants. Trees are slower-growing dicots. There are more pathways to these organisms than just increasing energy production efficiency. For example, have you proven that
