When buying an ev, knowing you can charge at home should be part of your decision. Also, I've never seen 60 cents a kWh at a supercharger in California. 50 cents, plenty of times. But that's the most I've seen. Maybe that&#x2

> EV battery life is more related to calendar age, rather than number of charge cycles and C charging rate. That seems to be contrary to common belief. It's the cycles that deteriorate the cathode/anode. I would like to read up

Keep in mind that those are dinosaurs in the ev world. Battery is air cooled and can't really fast charge. They're great commuter cars though if the range is enough or you charge at work Source, I have one :)

Disagree on making it worse. Really the only thing I can find in here that's odd is the fact that these kind of closures are NOT reversible like most of them are. I agree that it's weird that you're communicating and trying t

The post is a bit disingenuous. The source says that there was some validation request pending, so something was going on. Doesn't make it less bad but it's not like AWS just deleted an account out of nowhere. The implications of

I took issue with the happy part because it's a regulator not a customer kindly asking for a change. Even if the cost of the change are very high, getting it approved is probably worthwhile. To say that they would do so happily implies

My point was that there's always been cheating, the tools just change. I'm sure cellphones have been a tool of choice like 10 or 15 years ago.

You seem to think that before ChatGPT there were no students cheating? There will always be people that try to outsmart everyone else and not do the work. The problem here is those people, nothing else.

Just to state a fact. Article 5 of NATO (an attack on one is an attack on all) has only been invoked once, by the US. So why did NATO members send their militaries to Afghanistan? The real reason is that most conflicts never happen. Or are

Not sure is this is sarcasm I'm assuming not. You're comparing well understood products that are wildly different to products with code names. Even someone who has never wore a t-shirt will see it on a mannequin and know where it

You're missing an important piece here. The lower your income is, the bigger the % you spend on necessities like food. So when those go up, the lower incomes are again hit the hardest as they spend a higher percentage of their total in

Which would mean food gets more expensive, right? Regardless of the fact that a lot of poor people don't live in the areas where most of those jobs are but they do get their produce from there.. The top 4 counties in the US for agricul

Not every job can be automated. Picking crops for example or cleaning hotel rooms. The US will find out the hard way how much of their undesirable work is done by people that "steal their jobs". Jobs that no American wants to do.

So, assuming you do support some enforcement for passenger cars, at what speed would a ticket be warranted? Because this is exactly the dumb setup they have in California for example. Speed limit is 65, everyone is doing 80. When you pull o

There's 2 problems there 1. 'faster' is subjective since you cannot do the same task twice without the second time being biased by the learnings from the first pass 2. While speed might be one measure, I've rarely found

You ignore the fact that there are many suppliers there with plenty of competition. The 'take me from A to N' is a pretty broad problem that can have many different solutions. Is that comparable? We can all see this end up in a ol
