Well when they first came out very few people used them, so it was usually quicker to go there :D Plus you can fit more self service checkouts in the same area (3x - 6x), so maybe it's not quicker for the individual but the overall rat

I have a Gen 3 Prius with the "solar roof" option that is used to run ventilation when parked, so you don't come back to a uncomfortably hot car. The solar panels are covered by thick glass (I guess toughened), so there is no

My local supermarket has recently rolled out scan-and-go (is that the proper name?), where you carry a scanner around the store with you and at the checkout just return it and pay. It's funny because at peak times there is a queue of p

There are plenty of parts of London (typically zone 3 and out) which is full of low rise single family homes. The transit links in most of these areas are good enough that you can easily get by without a car (even as a family, although of c

The laws vary by country - in general the European Commission makes recommendations, then it's up to each country to implement them at a local level.

There's plenty of places where you can live pretty much on your own, even in the US. Crowded cities isn't caused by too many people on earth.

At the moment they don't, but as fast chargers become more common and range increases, it will become feasible. In my country (post-Soviet country; rather poor by Western standards) a lot of supermarkets and shopping malls already have

Nissan has their 'vehicle-to-home' system that does exactly this. As far as I know it's only been released in Japan so far, but all their LEAF cars from the last few years support it. https://www.nissan-global.com&

As a European I feel the same. Even €839 for the base model is going to be too expensive for most people. It seems like they are really trying to carve out a new luxury market for their devices, the equivalent of luxury car brands like Merc

I had this issue recently where I wanted to revive an old side project I worked on a few years ago. The front-end was written with React + Redux + Webpack, which I assumed I would still be able to get running today, but it ended up turning

Assuming you are running on physical hardware how are you managing storage? I've tried Rook but it seems somewhat buggy and overkill for my requirements (rsync would do).

One reason why only licensed taxis can use those lanes is to prevent regular people using them. If you just needed to sign up to be an Uber driver, and you could use the HOV lane, everyone would do it. Even if you had to do that and pay a f

Express bus lines can also work in a similar role: You end up taking a feeder route for 10-15 minutes that is barely faster than cycling[0], the switch to an express route where you have one or two stops and is equivalent in speed to drivin

Why not rotate conductors throughout different busses? A conductor gets on at one stop, checks everyone's tickets (so they may end up covering a lot of their cost initially in fines), then get off a few stops later and catch a bus goin

They also made cities sprawl a lot more than they did in the past, and built good public transport links so you can easily travel to your job without a car (which only a couple of people in your building would have).

What exactly were the police planning to do if they found someone playing hide and seek? At most it seems like they could ask people to leave the store, and if they refuse charge them with trespassing - but those are civil matters.

Ah ha, that's good to know! Yeah in my case I had a small solar panel (a few quid of eBay, I guess around 1W) which was able to power it through a British winter (it did get direct sunlight though). I had some rechargable AAA batteries

Even if the transaction is online, you don't see the money in your bank account straight away. It takes a few days for card payments to settle, and usually the payment processor will have a predefined schedule as to when you get paid.

At least in the UK they are not directly working for Amazon, but an agency, who only handles Amazon deliveries. Many other industries work in a similar way, where the employee/contractor effectively works for one company, but is paid b

Card payments, including contactless payments, can be done offline. However the card has to be configured by the bank to allow this, which I guess some do not.

Fuel prices need to go up a lot for that. Over 100,000km an EV costs around €3000 - €6000 less to run than an efficient ICE. Increasing fuel prices will also mean people scrap perfectly good but inefficient older cars. Governments need to m

That sounds like an issue with the Mac or MacOS mainly. I have a ThinkPad which charges over USB-PD, but if it can't negotiate 45W with the charger, it doesn't show it is connected to AC.

Can they really last that long (on their own)? I looked into this when the ESP8266 first became popular maybe 4 years ago as I wanted to build WiFi temperature and humidity sensors. My calculations were that a set of AAA rechargable batteri

UPSes can be used as an example. Higher end UPSes usually output a proper sine wave, where as cheaper ones do not. https://superuser.com/a/912689 It probably isn't going to damage any modern equipment, but some eq
