One thing that matters that people don't consider is that with EV, the operating cost will be lower, so it might actually make sense to switch to somewhat smaller planes flying more different routes. I think a 30 person plane that can

Again you just keep adding more and more stuff to defend your concept and it applies to fewer and fewer people. The waste majority, 99.9something people will never drive with a caravan and most don't go threw the mountains. You simply

If you have children you need to stop more often period. Even most woman that I have traveled with actually want to stop far more often. Sure, with a bunch of guys driving to Italy we might go 3-4 hours non stop but that is as I pointed the

You are talking about basically research stuff, EV are literally produce in the millions right now. Billions of private funds flow into battery tech and EV technology, while Hydrogen is basically massively government funded. Next generation

We already have the first 8 seater that can go around 400 miles in testing. And that is using pretty conservative battery tech. And there is a significant amount of potential optimization left. Using the batteries as load structures is just

Its a fantasy to believe that anybody would install such and absurd amount of access wind and solar that it could both cover the low production times and enough to export for use in vehicles. That simply not economical. In fact several tech

Seasonal storage is a total fantasy that has no practical application in the real world if you do the math on it. Building gigantic storage with 1 year cycle is a gigantic waste of resources and even if you assume electricity to be totally

You are the outlier of the outlier. And if you plan it well, EV charge actually faster in the lower 50%. So if you really want to optimize you can actually do it with shorter 10 min stops. Check out Kyle from inside EV. And until you can se

Government requirements are continuing get more and more difficult and because Tesla is producing more cars, even if the price of regulatory credits drop they might get more money from it. And what really matter is automotive unit margin an

Its because they renewed the model and they can't produce anywhere close to that many of the new ones. The 2340 are basically all S, X is not being produced. I will like not go up to peak, but it will be much higher then it is now.

What you miss is that people throw out a bunch of number that use different base numbers and so on. The reality is very complex. This is a long video series attempting to explain everything from Battery Day: https://www.youtube.c

My wish for them would be to really focus on being integrated with ZFS. They could really differentiate themselves by doing that. Doing a native encrypted ZFS root system, including ZFSBootMenu style boot system. They control the firmware s

This is complete nonsense. Fuel choice has little to do with how safe a reactor is. Pretty much everything you say has to do with they type of reactor, and not the fuel. This is a common misconception (perpetuated by some pop-science youtub

No current company makes any of their modern cars deliberately easy to work on. No matter the %, the fact is you can get a car from VW, BMW, Daimler, Hyundai, Nissan and so on.

Not a big fan of 'space.com' among space news sites. This information is already out of date. The earliest possible launch license for launching a bunch of Starlink terminals is 1. August. A number of other licensing and regulator

Not the whole population has cars either, specially in cities. Adding Level 1 charger to outside parking spots is not very difficult and is already happening in many new developments. Lots of people in cities park in parking garages where a

Federal regulation that puts people in prison vs. the need for minimal community organization. Tough choice.

Many of these issues are not directly related to unions. Its a question of company culture if they want that sort of feedback. I was simply point out what to me seem clearly the most reasonable explanation. If tomorrow there was a union in

I kind of think if we went back 30+ years and said 'lets start on open OS' it would likely be a good idea to start with a more micro approach. However the whole debate is totally different today with BPF, library kernels, uni-kern
