Most wranglers don't see proper off-roading, none of the crossovers. But even though, you have the whole front trunk where you can add a range extender (similar to BMW i3). You can strap extra ca…

It's their fault. They haven't build an electric Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Ram Trucks or Ferrari. Electric Wrangler/Gladiator with a smaller cross-over …

Another option is to have a data structure that you have frozen and then you unfroze it for the hot path and then freeze it again when you exit it.

Let me clarify: Does solar have 41CO2-eq/KWh on average or in optimal conditions? Just wonder if solar panel could possible be worse than gas (Alaska, north facing roof, heavy snow)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RhtiPefVzM There are other videos on the subject in this channel (battery recycling, EV vs ICE efficiency). According to the video, average electric c…

How come wind is 4x better than solar? I'd image a solar panel would last on average 30+ years with almost no maintenance. Does wind calculation include maintenance, decommission and recycling? D…

Rent is the main problem. We are not subsidising McDonalds, we are subsidising landlords. If rent price would stay the same, the minimum wage job wouldn't need subsidies from the state. The probl…

The more complex steps it has, the harder to investigate.

In my country the police cannot stop you on the highway. They have a sign at the back of the car saying "Follow me" and stop at the nearest parking. The speed limit is 140km/h. I guess …

I've learnt basic english with computer games, pirated movies and TV shows (with english subtitles). But to master the language you have to move to a place where they use it. Otherwise, it is ext…

Driving a lot, say 80k a year. Driving on Uber or tracking.

Oil in a diff (AWD car), oil in gearbox, oil filter. Break pads and discs (EV use regen breaking so the wear difference is significant). In 5 years you may need to replace clutch etc. No sure if EV ne…

If people were just smoking weed that wouldn't be a problem.

API is copyrightable (see Google vs Oracle) JetBrains plugins depend on this API, so Oracle can say they are in the violation and demand a fee.

Going into the market doesn't necessary mean building a replacement. I could also mean copyright and licensing. Sponsoring a plugin for Open Source editors. You gotta hedge your bets.

Most of their money come from providing tools for java world. If Oracle would decide to go into this market, they are screwed, hence Kotlin and other experiments.

Economy of scale which should help bring costs down. It's easier to take them to Mars.

My understanding is that Lithium is not a big problem. Cobalt is more rare.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I'd imagine a sharp razors and a tube that sucks air (or a net) would be much cheaper than a robot that simulates a human hand to pick tomatoes. I wonder if someone expe…

How does one ask this question? "Do you support that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole?"
