The basic 401(k)/403(b) rough equivalent in Canada is an RRSP. They also commonly have employer match sometimes. There are differences of course.

Interesting! That doesn't really change the argument, does it? "Where am I right now", is a different requirement than "where have I been, roughly, over the last 6 mo"

Tracking animals would seem to be a different set of requirements than, say, turn-by-turn car navigation. I'd imagine that for a lot of research, longer lifetime would win over real-time ish data, and possible you don't care so mu

Agree induction is pretty great, although it limits cookware and still doesn't work for all techniques (blowtorch doesn't replace everything). And you are right that the 110V are underpowered. The ones I've used are less gr

> That might be a bit of propaganda Not really, there are a number of techniques that are harder (some not possible) on electric which has less control and high latency. But ... it only matters if you are going to use such techniques.

I suspect this problem is really dependent by city or even neighborhood. I think the real practical limit is the municipal supply design rather than the available units. A friend had a 5 burner unit in their house that visibly dropped out

In that case they often already have a fob to enter shared (secured) parking anyway, that also works on doors, and is registered with the building management...

GP's point was that it's not the number of pixels, but the power draw that matters here (for power consumption) and while there are more greens they are smaller and draw less. This design pattern happens because humans are more se

Ok so you trust the dealer explicitly, and you are paying them each time to keep providence. What does the NFT buy you when you could just ask Rolex?

I thought the problem was that it takes long enough that you aren't by the "pump" during process. Also that the chargepoints are likely less infrastructure than a pump. So something has to contact you (SMS/email/w

Gotcha, that makes sense. How do you handle for example visitor spots (e.g. one off charge) in a multi-family unit?

There are transit systems that have made this work smoothly, you just walk up to a gate, tap your card as you walk through, so I can't imagine the barrier is technological unachievable. Seems like similar frequency and $.

That makes sense that the use case in a shared home lot is different than out and about, but still doesn't obviously suggest payment routing over the charger - wouldn't monthly billing be better from the consumers point of view?

Honestly, it may not matter if companies don't want it. Consumers are going to demand it, and it may be necessary before EV's become ubiquitous, assuming they do. One thing that has helped their case in the US is that payments h

I disagree. Scaling things up has a cost, but not all costs are debt financed. I think the distinction is worth drawing.

I've used the entropy analogy also. In particular, entropy always wins in the end. But I do think it weakens the "debt" analogy to consider it the same thing, because I like the idea that this is sometimes transactional - a

Typical post-docs may be the worst systemic ratio of pay to skills and experience anywhere. Probably related: it's otherwise often a pretty amazing gig. Not universal obviously.

I agree with this history, but don't think the meaning was acquired independently so much as naturally grew. Ward presents it in a sort of "optimal development" context, where what we did last year was the right thing last

I think the author is basically diluting the term "technical debt" to the point it becomes meaningless. Much of what they are talking about is the inherent difficulty of managing complexity, mixed with the difficulty of understan

In that case it's sort of accurate, particularly the "let him" part. The re-negotiation of NAFTA was a piece of political theatre initiated by Trump. In the end they resulted in essentially the same deal as before, which is
