Think Electrician instead of Electrical Engineer. EEs build the motor and the battery controller. Electrician level skills can arrange the parts within their specifications.

Typically the gas tank is removed and the battery is mounted in its place.

I am surprised more mechanics aren’t developing conversion kits for their customers. It would be a good way to deal with the impending decline of ICE maintenance requirements. Plus you’d think it would really scratch the gear head itches a

I’ve seen a number of similar research projects but the issue is economic incentive and scale. Until those are addressed this is continental shelfware.

I hear you but I would like something new. The closest concept that tickled my fancy was the Bollinger B1. It was close but it was missing something as simple as airbags. I want a utility vehicle I can spray out with a hose, throw kayaks in

Interesting analysis, but I wonder if they have plans the author is not aware of. BMW knows Tesla is eating their 3 series lunch. I’d be surprised if they had nothing up their sleeve.

Strength training has been the single most effective way for me to influence my emotional state. Strength training is different from ‘exercise’ in that you’re progressively becoming stronger over time by repeating the stress and adapt cycle

I prefer the terminal as well. Maybe he should just take the time to make a proper vimrc file and stop hyperventilating.

Ah, I was using public in the sense of a publicly traded corporation. Meaning, the public has access to ownership and that the corporation cannot decide who gets to own shares.

Corporate structures are designed to disperse liabilities in a tragedy of the commons sort of way. Therefore, what is the moral rationale for a “private” corporation, or for that matter any liability limiting instrument for private parties

This review provides little useful, actionable, or insightful information. I was very surprised to see this make the front page.

Python’s new type hinting seems to solve most problems pragmatically, are there issues you have with it?

I remember betting hard on python in 2008. I was all in. I watched as the ML space embraced it as the lingua franca. It was exciting. Best decision of my career :)

This article conflates the reporting and engineering aspects of the two processes, then it goes on to focus purely on the reporting. There was also no discussion of engineering discipline and how that fits into their process, despite the wa
