this is more of a problem with trucking in general than with electric vehicles. shipping goods long distances by road is just inherently wasteful of both material and labor.

what you're missing is that the demand curve for housing is basically a vertical line. most people will never buy/rent more or less than one unit of housing, and they will pay literally anything to keep it from being less. therefo

How are any of the regulations that govern trading enforced if a trade is not done on an exchange or otherwise publicly disclosed?

it's very funny that these guys don't seem to understand anymore that programs like VoA are their thing. they think they're "owning the left" by cutting the budget for right-wing propaganda.

surely the engine links to rather than contains proprietary third-party code. professional software developers wouldn't just copy-paste from another codebase into their project, right? that would be insane.

You're being sarcastic but they actually did design their new headquarters with zero regard for the environment. They built it in an area where there is not enough housing for their employees and public transportation is non-existent.

This is an example of the difficult (politically not technically) problem of companies externalizing costs. Apple washing their hands of the burden of maintaining software for old hardware is no different than Exxon washing their hands of t

I don't have a lot of experience with automatic shifting cars, but I believe that they still have neutral, keys, and handbrakes. If they don't then their designers should go to prison.

I feel like if you can't come up with the idea to try pushing in the clutch, shifting into neutral, turning off the key, or applying the handbrake within ten seconds you should have your license taken away. and if you design a car wher

labor is 100% of the cost of everything. not 100% of the price, as that includes things like profit margins and taxes, but 100% of the cost.

it kinda seems to me like teenagers are abstaining from behaviors altogether, not just risky ones. possible explanations that come to mind are widespread anhedonia (depression) and the the fact that suburban kids who are too young to drive

I've gotten them from taking SNRIs, so I wonder if norepinephrine is involved somehow, or maybe SNRIs are not actually that selective.

Ya the idea that buses are better than streetcars because they can go around traffic is just completely detached from reality. Maybe a bus can go around one double-parked car but during rush hour that's not happening. It was always jus

I once used a very expensive wolf brand microwave that would always run the magnetron for at least 10 seconds regardless of the power level setting. So if you set it to do 10% power for 10 seconds it would actually do 100% power for 10 seco

The Prius power split device is indeed very clever and I think that making a plug-in hybrid version of the Prius was a good idea. However at present the Prius Prime (44 mi range) sells for $33k, the regular (non- plug-in) Prius sells for $2

Is it? Well comparing 30 km range to 500 km almost certainly, but what about comparing 30 km to 150 km? Plug-in hybrids basically have two complete drivetrains in one car, which adds a lot of additional complexity, weight, and cost. A large

One solution to this is to have the option to feed the application fake but plausible data. Android (or maybe some Android fork I was using) used to have this option for dealing with apps that insist on asking for location permission for no

I believe the real reason that reactors like this never took off is that the US government pushed hard against them due to "proliferation concerns". Which may or may not have been a cover story for saving the fossil fuels indust

It's not just banking apps, it's almost every app that isn't a first-party Google product. You also lose all of your files, but those can at least be backed up manually by copying them over USB.

Maybe someday they will bring back the ability to back up your phone, so that you can restore your data to a new device without having access to the old one.

No I'm not a manager, I'm a programmer. I haven't personally had to fill out the forms, we have a guy for that. Actually that's not his main job, but he used to work as a paralegal so he got volunteered for it.
