~60 kWh still takes 18 minutes to charge at 200kW, and 200kW is a relatively optimistic average charge speed for most EVs at this time. Bigger batteries, or slower charge rates, take longer.

I'd be interested to hear which model, because that's pretty remarkable.

No, it was only a few months ago when the EV credit was ended.

Right. Musk extracts value from Tesla shareholders, rather than the other way around.

They have worse prices (higher) and worse range (lower, particularly for towing). These aren't misconceptions. (My only car is an EV that I'm happy with. But lying about EVs doesn't benefit advocates.)

No shit. The CT is ugly to most consumers' sensibilities, and not a "real" truck to most consumers in the truck segment. It only survives as long as it serves Musk's ego. But that's ok -- Tesla is Musk's com

As mentioned in the other thread, ocean plastics have nothing to do with landfill-disposed trash. They're mostly fishing nets waste, and at that, mostly from mismanagement by a handful of poor countries. I'll assume good faith he

If it's called once an hour, who cares? Even called every frame 60 times per second, it's only 0.2% of a 60 fps time budget. It's not a huge amount of time in absolute terms; only if it's relatively "hot."

Your home grow prices are high (even setting aside that you can just buy flower instead of the disposable vape). The right range is hundreds of dollars. And I'm sure making good oil costs somewhat more, but you can make crappy dab

If it's calling it twice per function, that's enormously expensive and this is a major win.

It isn't. That was illegal marijuana vapes. The FDA just hates flavored nicotine products because they're appealing (to both adults and children), and the FDA doesn't want nicotine products to be appealing (because nicotine

The other reason is regulatory arbitrage -- the disposal vapes are often illegal products that circumvent laws in general.

Regular trash is already stored safely.

Trash disposal (to regulated landfills, not beaches) is enormously inexpensive and increasing the cost of every item through a laborious return program doesn't improve anything.

This seems like more of a philosophical argument than a practical one.

400x slower than 70ns is still only 28us. How often is the JVM calling this function?

For something like this, you can just take several trials and look at the minimum observed time, which is when there will have been ~no interruptions. https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/main/folly&#x2

Honestly, the same phenomenon is a problem inside companies as well. My employer credits review quality and quantity relatively well (i.e., in annual performance review), but it still isn't a strong enough motivator to really get the

That isn't true -- they just prioritize a different set of hurts. To be similarly reductive, leftists seem to only be able to sympathize with criminals and poor decision makers -- not crime victims, or hard workers. The leftist persp

Should we trust real data, or anecdotes from the people who work almost exclusively with the cars that have broken down? I'm happy sticking with real data, personally.

I don't think it's that deep or that Trump is even thinking ahead. He just wants the rates to be lower.

I'm understating it, maybe. I don't think it would be practical to load a motorcycle backwards. If your requirement is "two bikes fit in the bed", they both need to be facing forward.

I have the same style of chain :-). Plan A is 3PMSF-rated tires, though.
