Electric cars: The equivalent of switching from binge drinking whiskey to binge drinking wine.

Jump

  • I'm not opposing the research, I'm opposing the implementation. Spending trillions of dollars because >1% of the population would be inconvenienced as you showed by having to use less developed or more expensive alternative is stupid.

  • Investing trillions of dollars into dead ends is, however, the enemy of progress. The ressources we're throwing at replacing existing cars with EV cars would be enough to implement better solutions.

  • Yes! And you know what, at that point, given the size of a minimum viable car, we could use some kind of algorithm to match people that are going similar places, and put them together to be more efficient. And I bet we'd find that a lot of the large scale transit patterns are common large parts of the population, so we could even use some kind of segregated, higher speed, more frequent vehicle for that.

    While we're at it, we might as well just warehouse some of these vehicles around places where the common cores end and start, and then we would only have to match one end of the trip.

    Oh wait, we already have those in operation in China: https://m.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=wvNOTZZeYVs

  • The goal is that now that they've been caught pirating lyrics, they have to pay MusixMatch for their lyrics, perhaps on a per request basis, so they lose money by making it available.

  • Abaya and the male equivalents are mostly adaptations to arid, sunny climates and predate Islam.

  • I wonder why he isn't. It's not like he can evade trial for it where he is now.

  • Well we haven't learned after have a dozen unprovoked wars in the Middle East and North Africa so why would one more help?
