This EPA study[1] (Pg 21) shows tire wear per mile has an inverse relationship to speed, but averages around 0.005g/km - 0.02g/km per tire. (NOTE: their table is per axle, front tires wear twice as fast) 20,000 km would be 100-400

How hard it is to do is not the determining factor. The question is whether the compan(ies) already in the space have created illegal roadblocks to your success. I’d say creating a new mobile device is more easily possible today than at any

Do you know why that argument didn’t work for Microsoft? It’s not because they dominated Windows. They owned Windows, they could do what they wanted on Windows, but for something very specific. In fact, it was a key element of the case

> In the car-happy United States, the amount jumps to nearly five kilograms—or about the weight of a cat. 1.25 kg/tire/year is a totally unbelievable quantity for a passenger car tire to shed annually.

I have a better idea. Let’s make driving to the store a net positive for the environment, and then people can do it as much as they damn well please.

Hardly a leader of Israel, the leader of a political group with 7 seats out of 120 in their equivalent of the House of Representative. The Palestinians say the same thing about Israel, at least in Israel it is the minority viewpoint. In Ira

Your ad hominem is irrelevant. The evidence of Iran’s nuclear weapons research is incontrovertible, and the point is that Israel believes it to be an existential threat if Iran obtains nukes. They believe that because Iran’s leaders specif

Israel spies stole the evidence from Iran and presented it to the world. In one of those presentations Netanyahu specifically called out Fakhrizadeh saying, “Remember that name.”

I think a few of your boogeyman are out of date. The militarized police force was bested by a couple hundred anarchists and no charges even filed. The lack of access to medical care just spent $6 billion buy vaccines for everyone in the cou

What they’re paid is not irrelevant. There was basically a nationwide discussion on providing hazard pay to nurses at the onset of all this. Solving the pay issue doesn’t mean the other issues don’t exist, but it is definitely important and

It’s just a fun thought experiment. If you decide that consciousness [of pain] can’t possibly be a binary switch, then perhaps that also means being conscious isn’t a binary property. If it isn’t a binary property, then is it a property tha

That’s not what OP said. “I care that you're so insensitive that...” is not taking the most generous interpretation of OP’s comment and is absolutely a personal attack. It is not conducive to productive discussion. Nurses are being pai

Some jobs are hard and extremely strenuous. The least we can do is pay very well for them and make sure that anyone doing the job is well informed of the risks, is a consenting adult, is making the choice freely and not under coercion like

I don’t think there’s a binary switch at any single point from conception to birth to 1 year old where an organism switches from “not conscious to pain” to “conscious to pain”. The first few days / weeks after birth are certainly loud

This is one of those YouTube algorithmic recommendations which will have you watching the most random thing for 20 minutes in the middle of the night, but it was truly satisfying to see this pro work.

I hate it when the complexity of the lingo dramatically exceeds the complexity of the algorithm. Language shouldn’t be the barrier to understanding. This seems to be particularly true in computer learning. We’re taking about a conditional s

The point of the article is that many cars get the PHEV nameplate and tax credits, but are nothing at all like the Volt. The Volt was an EV with a backup generator. These fake PHEVs have like 10-20 miles of battery range even under ideal dr

This is less and less true every year. Similar to the x86 vs ARM performance chart, or any disruptive technology really. I think the crossover will happen in less than 10 years. After that point an ICE vehicle will be worse in every perform

I have the same question. The only answer I can think of, is people that want to get out of Bitcoin but aren’t able to sell for real USD because of AML / tax purposes. Even if the tether is only worth $0.70 it’s still a better deal for
