That used battery is definitely a concern.

Full fleet of EVs would be 20-30 % of our annual electricity. Ain't no way we can acomodate for that on any near term timeline especially if you add in all the additional demand on electricity from AI/compute. Now if had money as

Its not a 1:1 replacement but its also quite a significant amount of energy and infrastructure that is needed. You still have losses in electrical production from Gas/Solar/Wind/Nuclear to your charging round trip efficiency

You can somewhat change the profile by price signals -- however if all vehicles are EVs there is a good portion of that demand that is inelastic. You will also need to be able to handle larger volumes of demand for faster charging stations

Two points. 1. Infra will need to upgrade in order to handle heavy charging in neighborhoods with wholesale change in the fleet. It would change our electrical use model considerably in terms of times of use -- and we would be adding all t

Interesting but North America has different needs for vehicles. Long time before our electrical systems to be able to compensate for that kind of whole sale change. Will be at least 20 years if it ever happens. I would also say that any I

What do you think drives the tooling ecosystem aside from VC dollars?

Tree cover != forests. That is movement in the right direction though!

Are you trying to argue that Europe hasn't decimated their forests?
220.
by boringg 7mo ago
They already destroyed all of their forest natural resources a long time ago. Maybe they are trying to warn north america of their own mistakes.

Social trust is high because there are pretty heavy handed control measures over the population with havy costs. Thats more of a fear based society than trust. Government can giveth and government can taketh.

Should be a betting service for this kind of thing instead of sports betting. Maybe all the men betting sports might read and change their habits based on the betting outcomes (and improve their health). I would also bet top reason is fibe

My comment is that it is not ONLY low fiber diets. There are a lot of other risk factors involved. Will high fiber help - absolutely. Is it the be all end all - no I doubt it. Western diet collapsed its fiber intake well over 80 years ag

Right but as I understand the problem of colon cancer its impacting people across the board in good health - not strictly this "core" US consistuency of high fat, high sugar, low fiber, high processed food. It is also across norma

It can't just be low fiber diets - there has to be some other exposures involved.
227.
by boringg 7mo ago
Are you serious? Do you really think thats the reason that this is happening -- that people don't just eat their veggies? Fiber is important but, um, that's a pretty hot take. I suspect there are other factors at play.

Its a balancing act.

So is that the use case -- getting non-technical people a leg up?

I guess my question is there any value or is it merely the thing du jour.

Totally - its supposed to prevent a collapse of confidence but at the same time can signal a collapse of confidence. Double edged sword.

I believe the gated feature can be waived though it causes a precarious situation. It ends up with same psychology of a bank run -- people (institutions) concerned because they can't access funds or they think that the queue to exit a

There are limited ways to short these positions which would probably add some fuel to the fire.

Update: original comment should be. 300B/1.2T*(10% of bank funds) = 2.5%. If I'm reading comment correct. Also I believe the whole private credit ecosystem is about 1T. In a catastrophic scenario: if the whole asset class w

Does openclaw have a killer use yet? Ive not opted to use it yet becauase - while very impressive hype and capability - seems like a lot of risk/credits for not an insane gain.

Or, alternatively, there are so many companies that are weak on tech they pay for someone else to guide them.

It feels like the quality of reddit collapsed over the last decade and a lot of the reddit style posting has come over here. Especially the examples above. To be fair both the good and the bad. The upvoting for political tribalism (whole

Its interesting that you seem to be more concerned that we would potentially enslave human like robots (while arguing sentience) while the likelihood of events is that we are far more likely to be enslaved to/by our own creations. Id s

Thats funny. Non scrupulous ebikers rip through pedestrian sections. And i agree with the other commentator, you obviously dont live in a dense city with e bike delivery.
