I dislike indeterminate lag between input and action. With an automatic, there's a threshold where the car decides to downshift when asking for a particular increase in forward velocity; that set point will wander depending on current

I've never really seen the issue with "manual in traffic" -- there's almost always a gear or two that allow you to go a the speed of traffic without tons of shifting. Stop and go? 2nd probably goes from "creep&quot

sorry for the late reply -- definitely fuel cell setups. Orleans MA and Hyannis MA supercharger stations. The one in Hyannis is right next to the superchargers, the other is 2 minutes walk away. I believe one or both have "bloom energ

I've read that one of the last task of a blacksmith apprentice is to make all the tools a workaday blacksmith would need to use to blacksmith. IE your last lesson is to make your own anvil, your own hammers, tongs, etc. At $DAYJOB I w

Several tesla superchargers near where I live have fuel cell setups, presumably to shave peak loads for the rare cases that the charging stations are all in use and all charging at peak rates.

The biosphere may well bounce back but it may take an absurdly long time to sequester carbon back into the ground. The first time it happened, as I understand, there simply wasn't a huge amount of oxygen in the air, so things didn&#x27

I would hazard the guess that twitter's "show tweets to other people" is 1/40th of the functionality piled into twitter; some other large functions would be things like "track ad sales" or "improve engagem

How do semi-modern (IE such as you'd get in a centos 8 "enterprise" distro) linux kernels manage NUMA scheduling? Is it going to make some effort to keep a "same process/thread on same or neighbor core" or is i

The reverse ought to be a risk to manage as well. Amazon is now large enough that they compete or think about competing in every profitable vertical out there. If you're an enterprise in a profitable market, amazon's a competitor

The architect mentioned a 100ms (or 10 times per second) buffer / flush rate; presumably there's some windowing settings so I can flush at 10,000 records or after 1/10th of a second, and can chose 10 records or 1/100th o

Couple questions: 1. aren't you going to get murderous S3 API call bills if you're pushing each message directly into S3? How're you buffering / queuing / coalescing messages durably without local storage? 2. what&#

Do you run other people's code on the same core as important code? This is probably a really critical question for people who go to web sites where random enemies can bid on showing you malware / advertisements. If you're not

Street charging at 10-30a wouldn't require much more infrastructure than existing street lights; most cars are parked on the street for hours at a time (depending on if parking near where the owner lives / works or "just visi

Battery [edit changing to swapping]swapping is never going to work while people own the car and the battery. There will always be incentive to keep a battery that's healthy and dump a wonky battery back into the swapping pool. I'

I get by fine with 240v/20a charging (16a in reality). Street charging, leveraging things like existing utility lines to street lights, isn't a huge lift. The individual chargers can balance the current they deliver among themsel

I know plenty of people in pretty affluent (well, relative to the earth, absurdly affluent) areas who have kids, a car, and still schlep their kids around by bike / train / (rarely) bus. When I lived there I had an old honda scoo

I certainly see families on subways / bikes. I'm certainly not one of those families; my kids are typically transported like little mafia bosses in the back as they plan their crimes. My older kid, though, started going to a new s

Yeah, I somehow ended up being responsible for the college campus modem bank a bit before I got my home ISDN setup; a pair of livingston portmasters and a pair of T1s that connected them to the phone co. One of the hardest / most confu

Building an LXD-like thing that has supported RPMs would be a huge advantage.

ISDN was a huge PITA to get to a residence. It took months to get installed; I think there was one person in California who actually did the installations. I later moved from one apartment to another in the complex; it would have taken Sta

Docker and OCI containers with the layers and such are (in my experience) best used as a way to make any environment into a "static binary" in that you're pickling all the dependencies into a single artifact; the storage laye

Did the first one end the war? Did the second one end the war? Did the first and second ones prevent the next war? I'm not sure of the answer to these questions; they're obviously important and difficult to answer. The timing cer

These things you're talking about are a small fraction of DNS though. For instance, you lookup "thing.behind.cdn.it" and get one answer, someone else looks up the same thing and gets a different answer. Pretty obvious, but

You pay for things when you buy them and when you keep them and when you pass them on to their next owner. Often these transaction costs are both in time and in money, and people all value their time and money in different ways. Disposing o

In the early days of virtualization on PCs (things like OS/2's dos box) the VM was 100% a weird special case VM that wasn't even running the same mode (virtual 8086 vs 286 / 386 mode), and that second-class functionality
