baffles me! aussie labor is really expensive, so it makes even less sense. What is the US doing wrong?

Everyone assumes they’re the smart one applying it “right”. Statistically they’re not.

You can just look up these numbers, of various forms of birth control. That exclude cycle timing. And none of them say it’s “most people”. Perhaps some unmeasured population uses it as a secondary method, that’s total speculation and kind o

I’m sure the majority of individuals practicing think they can be/are perfect adherents. Statistically they are wrong.

What? This is the definition of anecdotal evidence. It’s not very effective at all in practice, statistically. > For every 100 people who use the pull out method perfectly, 4 will get pregnant. > But pulling out can be difficult to do

Most normal people? The implied judgement aside, that is wildly untrue. Most people (80+ % who are not trying for a child) use birth control, this is an easy stat to look up. Maybe people “get upset” because you’re making things up?

Battery and charging technology are getting better constantly. That low density niche won’t last long enough for hydrogen to compete, it’s going to be all EV soon enough.

The categorization of middle class, whether it’s right or wrong, has nothing to do with why things are expensive and life is harder.

What are they buying it up with? Their buying power takes the same hit in the crash.

I never really understood this argument. The billionaires wealth is mostly in stock. In a crash like this their wealth goes down 10% like of all us. They can buy assets on the dip, but it will only regain that 10% they lost.

Because that’s where the money is. The world over people have exhibited their revealed preferences for living in a city, as everywhere continues to urbanize

Drives me bananas. Aussie in the US - I’m very reluctantly going to spend 4-5x what I would pay in au for a heat pump. I have no explanation for why it can possibly cost so much more, it’s infuriating. You can DIY for a lot less but it’s a

how do you like it? I have a 20 year career in large scale consumer app/web/b2c tech, but i've always wanted to work in renewables. Is it easy enough to break into? Is there many non-hardware roles (i have no hardware skills)

awesome. Chinese EV innovation continues at a rapid pace - it's going to transform the world. In the meantime, america is defunding EVs and locking themselves technologically into the past. Its so short term and self destructive - the

Maybe - i've been reading that sort of permabear "the economy is about to crash because of obvious reason X" for at least 15 years now. I listened for a time sadly - it cost me a lot of missed investment growth. Eventually t

How so? Feels like the crash starting now is very squarely due to the chaotic anti-investment actions of the current administration.

This was excellent and rings very true, thank you

The lines are very expensive to install and maintain. You could just buy double or triple the number of “silly” EV buses and be way ahead.

They’re complicated and hard to develop initially, but are fundamentally physically and mechanically simple and thus simple to manufacture cheap at scale. Whereas ICE engines are developed tech but are intrinsically complicated to build.

How so? Batteries are simple and amenable to massive economies of scale that ice engines are not

Give “we” people the choice to buy a cheap car and see what they would rather choose to do.

Imagine actually believing this. Contrary to every economist and qualified takes.

95% renewables would be incredible, I’ll take it :)

I agree in spirit, but given the massive cost premium of nuke power and the impossibility of insurance, the only way new nukes are going to get built in the west is via state guarantees /subsidies. That means higher taxes, or forcing

Why do you think the batteries won’t?

The 25p tariffs on ca and mx are not reciprocal. It’s hard to have optimism when there seems to be no plan to make the economy better, only destruction

AFAIU the corrosion problems are still not solved from a commercial PoV. Ie, without having to shut down and replace piping too often for it too be viable.

Maybe in Germany that’s “super small”, in the US ~70% of the population lives in sfh where that can be assumed.

Sure but if you don’t have a stamp for whatever reason, which is increasingly common

Just curious, how is a lock-up commonly circumvented? Might be relevant information for me, I would appreciate any tips
