Its true for road trips but the vast majority of EV owners charge while parked at work or at home, meaning they spend far less time charging their car than it would take to keep fuel in a gas car. Just plug it in and walk away. You leave every morning with a full tank. It makes the 20 minute charges necessary on longer road trips well more than worth the tradeoff. Its way healthier to get out of the car and stretch your legs every 2-3 hours anyway.
Wow thats actually pretty scary. It really does look like he’s having a stroke there, starting with the slurred words and just completely disappearing. I don’t agree with the guy politically but I hope he’s ok
As much as people on the internet love to imply they know everything I don’t think the human brain has enough neurons or any sort of capacity to deal with all of that knowledge and expertise to get even close. Even with unlimited time.
If I post some work publicly on the internet (like open source code) so that an AI is able to scrape it why in the hell should I expect to get paid for it?
This could probably be done as simply as having one reader for every few chargers. Just type in the stall number and tap your card. Kind of like paying for parking
Theres already docker images and ECS/fargate. Im debating on putting together a whole terraformed kubernetes stack for other instances to use, it would be for larger instances though as the while stack might be close to $100/mo with costs going up automatically with scale. Every time someone runs an instance and it runs on a single box with no scaling or redundancy it makes me cringe a bit.
thats upload. Netflix 4k is no lore than 20 mbps. Typically around 16-18. Its easy to confirm this yourself by looking at your bandwidth usage by streaming said content.
All im saying is for the average user latency matters way more. A 25 mbit cable/dsl connection is massively better than a 200 mbit satellite connection.
25/3 is way more than fast enough for most people not to notice. Its enough to stream 4k compressed. Maybe we should start measuring broadband in terms of reliability and latency. That has a far larger impact on overall experience.
The biggest 'vampire' drain on teslas is cabin overheat protection and sentry mode, but those can be turned off. And yes, tesla superchargers are almost everywhere and convenient but still 20-80% is only 60% of the charge of the battery. Imagine if a gas car took 20 minutes for every 7-8 gallons of fuel added how annoying that would be. 60% of the battery will get you maybe 160 miles of range. In America the average driver drives about 15,000 miles per year. At 160 miles added per 20-minute charge thats 1800 minutes or 30+ hours spent charging. That is only under ideal scenarios with only using fully functional 250kW v3 superchargers. I've very frequently found supercharger stations to provide much slower charging speeds caused by faults or other issues with electric demand. It can sometimes take 45 mins to up to 1 hour to get that level of charge each time.
It works out fantastic on roadtrips because it forces you to stop and take a break, stretch and maybe visit some local restaurant, store or roadside attraction that you wouldn't otherwise see. But, spending 30-40 hours per year at the same local neighborhood supercharger just sounds like no fun to me.
First off, invest and diversify it in companies and startups also focused on positive change, like those creating technology for lowering the cost of food and necessities and improving lives of people with disabilities. Stuff that improves our everyday lives and creates real value in the world. Solving all the world's problems is not really something that one person can reasonably do on their own effectively, so it needs to be allocated to other groups of people where it can make a proper difference. Build housing and invest in education globally with the proceeds, helping those in need to get back on their feet. Investing it intelligently means you'll never run out of cash, and even have more year-over-year to improve the lives of more and more people. If there are a lot fewer people struggling in the world, those people can then dedicate time to solving world problems and improving lives and continue the cycle.
As you acquire more money you can provide more services to more people, make more positive investments and help and improve the lives of more people.
Shit, I think I just described capitalism. Whoops, nevermind. Sorry I know that sort of thing is frowned upon here. I think the best thing to do would be to give every person on earth $12 one-time. Well, minus the costs and logistics involved in doing that, so every person on earth can get $8 after expenses. That should do it.
Absolutely the best kind of car to own. Period. Virtually no maintenance, extremely high reliability, quiet and safe. The quantifier is, only if you can charge it at home or at work. Relying on DC fast charging for 100% of your driving is a royal pain. It takes much longer than filling a gas tank, the charging stations are harder to find than gas stations, and your car won't go as far as on a tank of gas. And the battery will commonly lose 1-2% per day of charge just sitting there keeping idle systems running. I've been an EV owner since 2016 and absolutely would not want to own one if I didn't have a garage at home to plug it in.
This is pretty bad but it needs local access to a server/workstation as well as pretty sophisticated knowledge/tools to exploit. Even then there's no guarantee of getting any relevant information out of it. Anything with frequent enough logins/hashes going through the local system is probably a server someplace, and if its important you should have it physically locked away and access controlled.
+1 for nextcloud but it does kind of point you down the whole self-hosted rabbithole, which is out of scope for most people who just want privacy
