I am not certain it's because of the lack of regen. On road trips you're mainly doing motorway driving anyway. My point about safety is that extra weight is inherent to the technology and the alternatives available (combustion eng

Yes, it depends on how you drive and where, however I would note the above: 50kmh is typical of city driving and 50m isn't exactly a tight radius. 77kmh is actually quite fast, and 0.39g is actually quite high acceleration (this is flo

I agree there are effects of increased linear acceleration, however I disagree with you because of: On many roads you accelerate and brake less often than you go around corners. These two things are equivalent on tire wear given the forces

It is not a troll. I was talking about safety for the drivers in the car that collide with the EV. They are less safe with EVs on the road. When we have marginal electricity pricing, and electric cars necessarily being marginal demand, then

by m101 1y ago
Increased tire wear comes from the weight of the car and cornering. The tires need to do significantly more work in accelerating (the centrifugal kind) a car around corners at equal speed.

It makes one wonder what intelligence really is. The more I think about it the more I feel that speed is a fundamental unit of intelligence, with the other being some simple computation unit. As in, intelligence = speed * simple computation

yes. there exists a culture of "safetyism" that burdens society with excessive costs relative to the benefits achieved. This is, of course, starting from the (dubious) assumption that the stated objective of the regulation is the

This scenario has happened because of the regulations that banks have to follow. They freeze accounts and check payments more frequently now given the extra scrutiny demanded of them.

I had one experience whereby I had to receive some payments from some foreign entity for both HSBC and revolut. I got stuck into weeks of wrangling with with revolut (similar to that of OP), and having been through that next time I used HSB

This is also a common experience in retail banking (not only wise) in the UK. I put the blame on excessive regulation. Businesses are scared of crossing the regulator for fear of revocation of licence or high fines. Also the regulations the

Can someone please describe what the exact monopoly position is that Google have and how they defend it? I take it it's some sort of ads marketplace where they charge a fee to connect buyers with sellers? But why are things like chrome

My point with these examples is we're expecting our quantum models to be true at orders of magnitude more precision than we currently have, and is necessary for a quantum computer. It's as if no one even considers that it might ho

And 12 years from now we will be reading the same things. It's just shocking the amount of faith people have in this physics. Physics, to me, is a dying subject. The future is engineering and computing.

People who believe in quantum can put their own money where their mouth is. Plenty of quantum stocks to speculate on out there.

Perhaps one only needs to realise that reality is not mathematics?

by m101 1y ago
Also, how about thinking about it this way: either there's this magical property of the universe that promises to do these magical things which no one can even dream of achieving otherwise, or there's something wrong with physicis

As the old saying goes: the proof is in the pudding. And quantum computing has produced zero pudding. All hype, and zero pudding. When they actually do something useful (like the equivalent of general relativity and solving GPS), then we ca

by m101 1y ago
We use general relativity for anything fast moving I think. Not sure, but pretty sure. GPS wouldn't work with newton. But that's the point, newton mostly works to within an error of measurement
231.
by m101 1y ago
I bet you quantum computing will go the way of Newtonian physics - wrong and only proven so by our ability to measure things. It's as if Newton insisted that he was right despite the orbit of mercury being weird, and blaming his telesc

Do you think this was an effect of this type of behaviour simply maximising engagement from a large part of the population?

I think there's a risk of "it's too soon to say here" when deciding on fuel vs battery Vs hydrogen. The problem is that this is a highly complex dynamic system with different people experiencing different externalities.

by m101 1y ago
Is that hydrogen EROI number assuming lowest energy hydrogen? Or something like electrolysis?

The battery economy has had a lot of very not subtle backing from the government.

The fact that markets moved tells you that his plan was not as expected. It is either strategic negotiating genius, or downright stupid. It is however, undoubtedly, unexpected.

Yes, they didn't take wealthy person VC money, but rather begged for $2 donations from people who actually need the money.

I think you need to think carefully as to what corruption means. I would go so far as to say man's inability to recognise things as corrupt is a corruption of man.

How this works in traditional finance is that the big funds would screw the small guy that beats them (especially if they're from a foreign country). They claim that they use unfair or illegal practices, but the reality is that they&#x

The stock price, in this instance, is moving for a reason and that reason is in keeping with almost everyone being poorer. I was lukewarm trump, but this move was exceptionally stupid in the face of alternatives that exist.
