It's quite comical how the auto formatter would make that factual, by removing the 'How' :)

This doesn't work. You are basically suggesting no one 'non-authorized' can find serious vulnerabilities. We save all of those for bad actors who are already outside the law.

Don't forget methane! It is 80x more potent (eventually degrading to CO2 in the atmosphere) We leak it all over the place, with no plans to plug the holes. Instead we keep adding new piping all over.

However, electricity is easily transmitted, especially compared to oil pipelines. Northern Africa is having a massive solar boon right now, with lines delivering across Europe.

Solar is meant to handle peak loads, but spread out over the full day and night. Its worst case peak winter output will need to exceed usage. The future will mean energy abundance during most of the year. An S-curve of cost decline and depl

Just sounds like some people operating under the assumption of unknown unknowns. Best to see if anything died from exposure in an enclosed environment before releasing any possible contaminants out into the wild.

Is it not the case that they'd be 'looking' for good soil beyond those surfaces, even if it wasn't there? It makes sense evolutionarily to 'just work' when possible, especially since the alternative is death

Paternity leave is likely worse, due to losing insurance coverage and other benefits that are useful and otherwise costly for a newborn. Yes, there is COBRA and he is probably doing just fine financially, but significant unplanned changes i

Land area hides the true scale though. The oil fills vast volume under the ground. Solar panels may take up more surface area, but the energy output per unit of material and volume should easily out-class oil. There is also no shortage of a

Cadbury, since 1824. Although it may have just been acquired or rebranded at that time.

That is part of the cost analysis. Costs continue to fall, only rising recently due to macro materials costs. In a few years when the subsidy vanishes, the difference should be nearly made up for by reduced cost. And this subsidy only appli

Yes, it is. Solar pays for itself in raw kWh over ~8 years, probably even better at utility scale which negotiates huge panel purchases. Batteries cost more, but can apply stored power when they can earn the most (during peak), reducing via

Humans were not mass manufacturing things back then, and there were orders of magnitude less people. On top of that, we don't even have exact knowledge of where to look. Most places we do discover have plenty of signs and evidence, the

Certainly, significantly less than bikers killed by drivers. Bikes and pedestrians are low-speed, low momentum, and low likelihood impacts.

The recruiter calls are the worst waste of time! On top of that, if a recruiting agency sets you up, you're looking at an additional call with each company recruiter and/or hiring manager, before even starting to interview. On top

This is the first of its kind to reach this efficiency, correct? I assume that means there could be room to significantly improve its efficiency or operating requirements with more investment and research. Having one example, even if '

Considering both of them are still around 1/20th the scale and not profitable, while Tesla has 30% margins on vehicles, I don't think there is much fear. The goal was always to cause the transition away from ICE, not stop competit

Isn't that the role a library already fills? The only difference is maybe their love of the craft and more random options.

Not all people commute. Rush hour isn't all at once, but distributed over several hours. Not all cars will be replaced right at the start, but those who use their cars the least will probably be the first to go taxi only.

Their reliability score does not take into account severity. Most things reported are super minor, and all are within the first year. Luxury cars are the 'worst' in these surveys, because owners are pickier. True reliability metri

The economics of a robotaxi are insane. Main cost now are the driver, and then fuel, and then vehicle wear/tear/depreciation. An autonomous EV taxi makes all three of those comparatively negligible. Profit per year per vehicle cou
