They could still build an electric super card and pool with fiat.

That's why I use electric scooter to work. It costs 300$ and I spend 1$ a month on electricity to charge it (I could charge at work). It's an 10X improvement for short distance travel. It's much cheaper and convenient, since

Most wranglers don't see proper off-roading, none of the crossovers. But even though, you have the whole front trunk where you can add a range extender (similar to BMW i3). You can strap extra canisters - range is not an issue. What yo

It's their fault. They haven't build an electric Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Ram Trucks or Ferrari. Electric Wrangler/Gladiator with a smaller cross-over version would sell like hot cakes.

Another option is to have a data structure that you have frozen and then you unfroze it for the hot path and then freeze it again when you exit it.

Let me clarify: Does solar have 41CO2-eq/KWh on average or in optimal conditions? Just wonder if solar panel could possible be worse than gas (Alaska, north facing roof, heavy snow)

How come wind is 4x better than solar? I'd image a solar panel would last on average 30+ years with almost no maintenance. Does wind calculation include maintenance, decommission and recycling? Does wind have to work 24/7 to meet

> The dirty secret is that most women work because they HAVE TO. It's not a choice. My anecdata is quite opposite. Women having remorse for leaving children in child care, but they can't stand staying at home. They feel lonely.

Rent is the main problem. We are not subsidising McDonalds, we are subsidising landlords. If rent price would stay the same, the minimum wage job wouldn't need subsidies from the state. The problem is that all powerful people own prope

In my country the police cannot stop you on the highway. They have a sign at the back of the car saying "Follow me" and stop at the nearest parking. The speed limit is 140km/h. I guess it's a bit safer when the speed lim

I've learnt basic english with computer games, pirated movies and TV shows (with english subtitles). But to master the language you have to move to a place where they use it. Otherwise, it is extremely hard hard.

Oil in a diff (AWD car), oil in gearbox, oil filter. Break pads and discs (EV use regen breaking so the wear difference is significant). In 5 years you may need to replace clutch etc. No sure if EV needs any coolant replacements.

API is copyrightable (see Google vs Oracle) JetBrains plugins depend on this API, so Oracle can say they are in the violation and demand a fee.

Going into the market doesn't necessary mean building a replacement. I could also mean copyright and licensing. Sponsoring a plugin for Open Source editors. You gotta hedge your bets.

Most of their money come from providing tools for java world. If Oracle would decide to go into this market, they are screwed, hence Kotlin and other experiments.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I'd imagine a sharp razors and a tube that sucks air (or a net) would be much cheaper than a robot that simulates a human hand to pick tomatoes. I wonder if someone experiment with some kind of scaffolding tha

How does one ask this question? "Do you support that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole?"
