Where were they when Bernie Sanders needed votes to be the Democratic nominee?

> Non-average situations arise all the time. Of course. We already have blanketed the country with level 3 charging. You can reach 99% of the country solely using Tesla Superchargers. The non-average problem is solved. What we need to so

120V outlet is level 1. Outlet is aka a receptacle. In this case a NEMA 5-15r.

Explain the bullshit CCS plug then. It's all protectionism and cronyism.

The car can't have the ground-fault circuit; it must be in the stationary part. The article does point out they believe non-galvanically-isolated can be as safe in practical usage; similar to half of Japan outlets are all protected by

EVSEs are more fragile, more prone to vandalism, so more costly to keep running. 240V could use the same wires and double available power, but existing portable chargers never draw more than 16A from 120V, so people can't screw it up.

It's 7 mph of charging. The average car is driving 60 minutes per day, and if there are chargers everywhere that's 161 miles per day of charge if it's plugged in when not driven. That covers everything the existing system doe

We also require arc-fault breakers in the electrical code for new construction despite even their first-order effects being negative. We're drowning in over-regulation and the most prominent people pretending to care aren't going

Require a coin-operated 120V outlet with gfci and accessible way to reset the breaker for every two parking spots, everywhere. Many benefits: 1. Everywhere you go, you know there'll be somewhere to charge overnight. 2. It's the ch

Hence constitutional convention.

We need a constitutional convention to fix the legislative branch. People in Wyoming should not have 10x the representation as people in California. Without the complicity of the legislative branch Trump's power would be limited much m

Their AI is atrocious though. F.ex. Endless Space has a mechanic that to take over a planet, you to have to put this bomb upgrade into a ship. The AI just... doesn't. Their fleet meta sucks, their individual ship designs suck. All hard

How big do you think a single square in civ takes up? It's about 80 km wide[0]. And Normandy was multiple units moving against multiple defensive units occupying the same space. This is far better approximated by the original of many u

I'm not sure how yet, but I feel LLMs should somehow make this easier to do. If you write or generate backstories, then it should be possible to generate plausible conversations among NPCs. The backstory thing is done well by Dwarf For

Metallic lead isn't especially bioavailable. Lead in paint is not metallic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_paint You don't use solder in a place where it's exposed to friction (like window sashes wit

The forests are supposed to burn. They mitigate by building fireproof homes and leaving when the fire comes. Or just not living there.

If prices were sane, anybody who bought a house ten years ago currently has enough equity to pay cash.

I think my laptops have been split between mechanical and hardware EOL. I don't think the mechanicals would ever go for two lifetimes. But I actually take mine around places and am a little clumsy.

It's a problem when you don't verify the identity of your users and hold them responsible for illegal things. If Facebook verified you were John D SSN 123-45-6789 they could report you for uploading CSAM and otherwise permanently

You basically can't buy couple-dollar things on Amazon, which is rather annoying. F.ex. I wanted a fiberglass pole, 5/16" diameter. I could buy 10 for $20. Home Depot had one for $3.50.

I've done that, only to get it "fulfilled by Amazon" anyway.

If any past coworker I liked wanted to get lunch I'm up for it. For me it's not yet exceeded 8 years back so I guess I can't demonstrate that yet :). I also get a referral bonus so I do want to refer people!

I'm sorry people don't get your comment. Maybe people aren't aware of the consequences of laws locking in car-based infrastructure.

And what is driving this large cause in administrative overhead? Something about a doctor having to write letters to justify anti-emetics for a pediatric cancer patient to the insurance company ?

You should read the book Lisp In Small Pieces . It's basically a book about doing that multiple times with every-increasing percentages.

ICs are about the only exception, but semiconductor engineers are no dummies and have been building the appropriate simulation tools for a long time now. If you could spin a chip every day that would mostly be a huge waste of time.

Companies won't pay enough for quality QA people, so you can't get good people to do it instead of a more lucrative dev position. So now everybody has to do testing, except they only want to do the bare minimum and they aren'
