How would they "demand" this? Large pharma is going to develop in the US, where tax dollars fund a significant portion of research, and they get exclusive ownership of the resulting product. Single payer systems do still display a

Yes, about 2 years worth at my 300 mile/week usage and San Diego $5/gal gas price. After which, the gas car continues to use gas, and I continue to save $3000/year by not buying gas... But your comparison is valid. You could

Where are the flaggers? Come on, you're slacking off. Neutron Stars? Other Dimensions? This has GOT to be woke, right? The level of flagging on HN lately is totally out of control. And they complained that the woke were cancelling peop

Isn't that the point? The levy causes less people to buy the service, this reduces the service's revenue. This causes the service to be more likely to accommodate some kind of regulatory ragine. Isn't that the point of the le

I bought a used 2023 Nissan Leaf for $15K. It had 18K miles on it, 150 miles of range on a full charge, and still 5 years on the battery warranty, and 2 years on the bumper to bumper warranty. I did admittedly find a good deal, but this is

This is especially true, given that advances in battery tech, and fast charging are going to eliminate the need. Recharging as fast a petro fuel filling have already been demo'd. Of course, here in the US we don't need any of that

To jump onto the "comment having nothing to do with the article" pile: 1) I wonder how many of those chargers are tesla? (not the elon windmill tilting argument, but) These chargers are not compatible with many EVs. In my opinion,

So, for those of us down here at the bottom of the karma ladder, after 5000 lines of comments about giving antibiotics to cows, which had nothing to do with the article, there is some actual discussion of the topic. This inability to bring

The reference to Formula 1 not leading to driving decline is somewhat paradoxical. Formula 1 has a lot of rules regulating what can and can't be done to change the cars. They basically enforce the traditional driving model. Given this,

That's why the OP is commenting that replacing a heater, with a heater _and_ an a/c, is a big part of why the bill will double. heating + cooling > heating alone That said, its also important to point out, that the author is in

I agree with the replies indicating emissions aren't trivial, but to answer to the more self-serving interests that are well represented on HN: have you experienced NEVER going to a gas station? Seriously, that is a great feature of EV

I live in a house in San Diego, built in 1920. It has 240v AC, which I use to charge. I seriously doubt you need to "upgrade" anything, just plug in the car. Unless you're trying to have the highest grade fast charging at hom

So, an organ changed to a new chord, and I'm supposed to pay to _read_ about it? I find the subject mildly interesting, but the paywalled internet is just another sign of end stage capitalism...

I'm with you on that. I bought a used car recently, on which I got a great deal (as an EV in San Diego, I'm expecting the car to pay for itself in 5 years via gasoline savings), but it's dark grey 8-( I'm thinking of spe

I mean Yes, you _can_ do it, but why? Life is WAY more comfortable on a 36' boat, and once you add all the costs of making the passage, it's not _that_ much more expensive. Turns out, being able to stand up below decks is a HUGE a

I totally disagree. "Shattering" one's identity (which is a completely fictional idea, only existing inside one's head) is essential for finding one's place in the universe. Failure to adopt an accurate perspective

And of course, there's always wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Trust_Limited Bozo could easily establish a similar trust to support the Wash Post in perpetuity. But clearly he has other motives.

This is why one should never, ever, allow their television to connect to the internet. Feed it via HDMI from whatever device you choose, but DO NOT let the TV connect to the mothership... Or, just accept the consequences...
