> EVs are significantly more expensive The point of the article is how that's quickly going to no longer be the case > There's no charging infrastructure to speak of in most countries Solvable in single-digit numbers of year

This "point" gets parroted everywhere EVs come up, but the proof is basically nonexistant or misleading at best.

Re: Shared ownership: 99.9% of people who think they need a used F150 off of Craigslist can actually get away with renting one from their local UHaul or Home Depot the few times a month that they need it, and it'll still be way cheaper

What model? I'm looking for something that isn't awkward to carry around or on a bus.

> We're just making up memories and calling them real? This has always been the case, you just don't remember it, and the (human) hallucinated details are usually just not important enough to care about.

True, but I imagine it's mostly carried on/off busses or in/out of a building entrance, and not much farther.

An e-scooter doesn't have an obvious way to pick it up and carry it with you. This is basically an e-scooter, but very narrow and shaped like a briefcase with a handle, which seems like an improvement for transporting it. It would be n

Totally agree with that, the first time an app sends me an ad/nag disguised as a notification, it gets blackholed. Related, I really like the notification summary feature of iOS - it delays showing you a notification and rolls all them

Mobile phones & modern notification systems are strictly better in terms of flexibility. As you said, you can silence all notifications for arbitrary periods of time and schedule quiet times, but if you need you can still access them an

LibrePCB does not have a worthwhile parts library, autorouter, sophisticated DRC, or integration/interop with other tools commonly used in the industry. It's fine for hobby use, but it's not industrial grade software.

by dymk 3y ago
For most of us, LibrePCB is not an alternative because it lack table stakes features that almost all commercial software has

What is "Altium" for $500, Alex? Like yeah I agree it would be wonderful to have alternatives, but it's a little dramatic to call the existence of this very small project the start of a "backlash"

I originally started with one of those semi-DIY companies (not Unbound, but similar) where they build a site plan, give you a permit packet, and offer to sell you the hardware in a kit, but I found it to be not worthwhile. They mismeasured

eBay + a few other suppliers. For eBay, they were brand new inverters sold in those quantities, warranty and all. From what I can tell, surplus from solar projects done by other installers. :)

And I'd have saved a lot more if I did the actual installation myself as well, but my roof is an 8/12 and 12/12 slope on a two story house. I did some test walks up there, and there was absolutely no way I'd have pulled

In theme with the article, I'd likely end up with a system that didn't get installed for a year+, and if it did go up, it'd be poor quality and unsupported if I needed repair. I can tell a potential home buyer that with this

The demand for solar in the US is high, but number of skilled laborers willing to be on a roof is very low. Last year I called almost 40 installers, every one of them was booked out for at least 6 months, some for a year. So, they can deman

I decided to install solar myself, paid out of pocket, after having sales rep after sales rep knock on my door trying to sell me a leased or financed system. What they were offering for $60k over 30 years, I was able to do for $23k after in
