That’s not really supported by evidence. Among other points against, tire dust scales linearly with weight and EVs are only about 20% heavier then comparable ICEs (e.g. model 3 vs Camry). That’s not even accounting for regenerative braking.

Do you see that as an inevitability or an impossibility?

I think .25x is a bit slow, as .5x replay also looks reasonable, but you are right there is something like a 2.5–3.5x speed up. Makes the robot’s smooth motion much less impressive.

Congrats to Evan on the milestone! I enjoy reading the Vale articles even though I have no programming language design or compilers experience.

Is this satire? - dubious IQ (dIQ) measuring - incorrect accusation of “putting them down” immediately following an ad hominem attack - unspecific “insight” that EVs sacrifice practical things to get distance, when the parent and OP were b

Bummer! Didn’t realize the graph was not for not IPv4 and IPv6. Have you done anything fun with the AS or had an opportunity to say “Luckily, I do have an AS!” in a time of need?

The article mentions that the Cisco router used is limited to a million addresses, which would be exceeded in “2-3 years.” Looks like the author got at least double the life out of the router, because the internet is just approaching one mi

In a walkable city, gyms and grocery stores are walkable from where you live, so there is no need to string together a bunch of stops. When you can walk to the gym or the grocery store in less than 10 minutes, no pre-planning is needed to o

Surprisingly no mention of the temperatures. From Reuters > Temperatures this week are expected to hover between 26 and 38 degrees Celsius (78.8 and 100.4 degrees F), weather officials say. Heat waves are particularly difficult to deal w

That’s fair, although people often underestimate the time “more convenient” options take. For example, walk 2 minutes to a bus, wait 5 minutes, ride 5 minutes, walk 3 minutes to destination. Not too much faster. Happens all the time with ca

Downtown Seattle’s not that big. Walking from Westlake (light rail) to Climate Pledge is 20-25 minutes, no transfer needed.

Especially considering the house structure itself is usually depreciating in real/material value (whether or not the price is still going up) due to aging. At a certain point, just the land needs to cover those real returns.

There are plans to up-zone large portions of the city I live in. Appended to every related article on the local newspaper’s website are dozens of comments about how such a move is a scheme/payout for developers. But of course, who else

The title of this post is misleading and should probably be changed. The guidelines are not that oat milk can be called “milk”, but rather that it is ok to use the word “milk” preceded by “oat” to label oat beverage.

I’ve used FreeTaxUSA and recommended it to many friends. Federal is free and state is $15 (if your state has income tax). For W-2 plus investments and house, it was a breeze. And they cover many more forms than just that: https:/&#x2F

Using that definition, “efficiency of an investment” is quite apt for the characteristics of a home which do not involve monetary return. In other words, I want as much X for every dollar I put in. X can be comfort, curb appeal, U-value, et

Quick google search mostly shows low effort articles citing one paper from 2021. Here’s to hoping, but manufacturing has always been the main obstacle in the path to any graphene based technology.

Wow! I haven’t used it yet, but I’m impressed by the demos. Seems like just the mobile editor with joystick and autocompletion would be a viable product by itself, not to mention the power of repl.it behind it.

AWS developed two generations of an in-house ARM chip (Graviton), which I think is cheaper for an equivalent power to an x86 instance. Cloudflare has also begun switching to ARM, for 57% more performance per watt: https://blog.cl
