I use black every day. It's pretty good. The hours you save on pointless arguments e.g. ' or " is better as default for strings. I wish it'd come with standard python distribution …

If there is a liability that not covered by the insurance the subcontractor can just go bankrupt. AT&T wants to protect their assets.

Battery packs weight more than 500kg. An order of magnitude more than ICE cars energy storage.

> opens a possibility to significantly increase the lithium-ion battery energy density while preserving safety due to the aqueous nature of the electrolyte. Wouldn't that be bad for car's…

That's oligopoly. True competition needs to have many different options e.g. food. I can go out to a restaurant, order something or opt-out from the market and buy in a shop and cook it myself. B…

Probably gone due to social unrest.

The UI is not very intuitive: - I clicked Karol Szymanowski and I didn't notice I can scroll to see the content - only after reading HN comment I figured out I missed something. There needs to be…

I'd appreciate a reason why I was downvoted.

I have a feeling that this won't work. The only robust way to implement fair tax is to tax corporation 1%, but everyone in EEA has to do it. I know that taxing revenue is not optimal, but how muc…

Keep in mind that 20 years ago the population of people with four-year was smaller.

Look pretty good, but that approach won't be sufficient for more advance serialisation e.g. you want a user with password in case X and without in case Y. Type system is not expressive enough, so…

I don't think planting trees is the biggest issue. Access to water is. More practical solution would be to fill some desert with sea water and grow plankton, kelp etc.

because it was very unreliable in India. In Europe it works really well.

Why? What is the threat model? Doesn't make much sense in case of a terrorist attack or natural disaster. With modern warfare they are becoming less valuable.

Anyone knows how does it work in Europe?

This is not that simple. You don't want people hack a car that have a "self-driving" capabilities. Bugs could kill a lot of people.

Politicians like to create laws and make promises about the distant future which they cannot be held accountable for. If they would really care they would tax all vehicles except electric and hybrids …

The deaths in the accident could be avoided if the vehicle had an emergency brake assist. I doubt it's possible to develop a tech that would prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was distracted b…

Nope. In my location trams are new and clean. I just prefer to lean against the windows and people who need it more can use it. I don't travel more than 20mins with public transport, though.

I almost never sit on a bus or a tram even if there are empty seats.

I can understand cars but TVs?

Absolutely, but the raport was about new cars. In this cause I'd be cautious. The access to spare parts could be limited in the future.

It's not sold any more since PSA bought them.

Is it really 35k in USA? Prices in Europe include taxes.

It's not sold in Europe. You can buy Prius plugin hybrid, new Corolla hybrid, BMW 330e etc.
