BEVs are mechanically simpler, requiring less maintenance and expense (and they eliminate all use of fossil fuels). Hybrids and PHEVs are mechanically more complex than ICEVs, often requiring more things that need maintenance and repair. P

For instance, in California, it is now law that apartment renters can install EV charging stations (at their own cost). So even those who do not own a house can charge at home.

> but an investment in XEM or XRP (Nem or Ripple or Stellar Lumens) None of those is an investment in something with inherent worth. Hence, I'd not call them an investment, but pure speculation.

Seriously, my wife and I bought a pile of Apple stock in 2004. I wonder if we were time travelers in that old timeline.

Unbiased algorithmic redistricting with no humans involved? It would be the perfect result. The politicians would never allow it.

You sent them in by email. The SRI NIC had a template file you'd fill out and email it in. For example, see RFC-1032: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1032 I registered my first .edu in 1986 (maybe 1987) and my fir

As mentioned in other comments, Ousterhout is the inventor of Tcl/Tk (among other things). At around the time this was published, Tcl was my favorite "play with" language, and it naturally lacked sort of built-in threads abs

My wife and I were at a garden party in the early 90s where RMS was at also. We were talking about various things and somehow the fact that my wife was pregnant with our first child came up. RMS started talking about how maybe people should

From the title I thought the article would be about comparing the troff source to the groff source. But, it wasn't.

The article appears to be new. "use 5.10" enables 'say' in the language.

Actually, yes. That PHEV (i3+REX, Volt, PIP, etc) has far more mechanical complexity and parts that can break. A pure BEV ends up being cheaper to maintain (because there's less to maintain). (Disclaimer: I've put over 40K miles

We met online, in 1984. We were in college and she posted on USENET making a reference to the Foundation series. It was obvious.

I'm glad to hear. What devices do you use this on? FWIW, I've personally never used it on mobile devices, but I'm pretty sure it would work. (I'm the author of no-ads)

At the time I wrote that comment, I thought it was correct. I'll just remove the Konqueror reference.

IIRC, "most UNIX variants" didn't have an undump command. It primarily came with a few huge applications that played these type of games. The two worst offenders that I remember were in fact GNU Emacs and TeX! A few other

I suspect what makes someone a good coach is that they already know to a high degree what personnel are best for a particular situation on the field, and don't need some algorithm to pick for them.

This is almost funny. The reason I have a LEAF (see my post above) and not a Model S is because it doesn't fit small people. Everything about that car seems to be built for the 6' tall person with no thought about those of us

I lease a 2013 LEAF (in 2014). I've now got 17K miles on it. It is my first and only car I ever will lease. I did so because I want a larger range and I knew that such cars would be available "soon", but not soon enough. I
