Well, why must there be "a" station? You can just have manufacturer-specific battery swapping stations. Since these will mostly be located outside cities, the extra area is probably not that big a problem.
Thanks. Fascinating.

And how is that going ? Not good.

The biggest problem with nuclear waste that everyone keeps overlooking is the potent NIMBY issue. In democracies politicians need to do what their constituents want in order to survive. And constituents will forever be scared to the bone about nuclear waste anywhere near them.
Electric is not slower or less powerful, electric's issue is the low energy density wrt petroleum fuels, so you need much more volume dedicated to batteries and you still get a much lower range. See the recent news about a hypermiler getting 452 miles out of a Model S (on 0-grade roads at 25mph), the hypermiling record on a production petroleum car is more than 1600 miles.

This is exacerbated by the much longer refueling times, a supercharger needs ~20mn for a 50% charge, an at-home 240V/40A does ~10%/hour.
My understanding is that entanglement doesn't actually allow for transfer any information faster than the speed of light but is more like having two coins sealed in a box and given to two parties, that "God" always keeps the same way up until they're opened. You can manipulate them by flipping the coins over, but you don't know what it was originally. You can open your box and see that your coin is heads, and send a conventional message to the other person that says "if your coin is heads, then attack at dawn", but you don't know what the coin is until you open it, so are still reliant on sending the message over means that obey the speed of light in order to transfer the information.

Is that an accurate (given that it's an analogy) description of how entanglement works, or does this work disprove that idea and is what was mentioned as Einstein's idea?

It is interesting that a lot of the younger Dutch citizens I meet here do not realize that it has not always been the way it is now, that the deep reach of the bicycle was a deliberate policy shift away from an equally extreme shift towards cars earlier in the 20th Century. However, among the older citizens I meet, they indicate that throughout their whole lives, bikes were always a common mode of transport; just perhaps nowhere near the ubiquity of today.

Solar is about to take a legislative beating, as the oil lobbyists have won. In the UK if you want to install a Solar array, there are no subsidies - in fact, you have to pay a levee for "taking money from oil producers".

And don't forget the subsidies for oil and gas in the UK are ~20x those of renewables.

I agree. Though to me the benefit is not so much to have a zero environmental impact. Even the cleanest energy (nuclear power, dams) have some environment costs (nuclear waste, destroying the eco system of a valley).

To me the biggest impact of moving to electric cars is to move the pollution (air+noise) away from where people live. And that benefit alone is certainly worth significant undesirable effects on areas where people do not live (mines, etc).
In this context it is always good to read the Economist special report on nuclear power and the future of it.

I've looked at obesity studies in the UK and the child focused ones look at the location of fast food restaurants close to schools. I've never seen a study that looks at obesity rates and examines the Local Authorities transport policies. Cambridge, Bristol and some parts of London are possibly good control groups. I know Bath has better health than the UK average, but 27% of people walk to work.
Since I was taught in a California public school in the 1980s, I believe I was taught using the Zaner-Bloser method. As someone else mentioned, the lowercase letters look mostly the same, but there are more differences in the uppercase letters. The main thing that strikes me in looking at your example is that I would have to lift my pen/pencil to generate most of those uppercase letters. In general, if I write in cursive, I only lift my pen/pencil off the page at the end of a word, and I tend to drag the tail of the last letter of the word back if I need to cross a 't' or dot an 'i' or 'j'. I also developed a habit of crossing my 'z' (and 'Z', and the number 7), oddly enough, from my German teacher in high school (though she was from Munich, and probably learned her handwriting in the 1940s or 1950s).

I was on a train talking to a dutch guy about cycling. He said the dutch are crazy cyclists and do crazy things. I then asked him who would be to blame if a car hit him "The driver of course." What if you hit a pedestrian? "That would be my fault".

I also had to explain to him that cars do not have to give way to cyclists at junctions so watch out. He thought that was crazy. ;)
A large amount of published results that are wrong is definitely something science can live with: we have to trade off Type I against Type II. But we should value accuracy: if we report something as being very, very unlikely if chance was at play, and it turns out that in fact (1) it'd be very likely even if the null hypothesis holds and (2) in fact even if P(D|H0) is low, P(H0|D) might be high... then what's the point in writing up all those fancy statistical analyses anyway? At that point significance testing becomes more of religious ritual and should either be discarded entirely or be amended.

I don't know Singapore, but I'm US-based and do some contingency recruiting. It sounds like you were talking to someone at the company, and they can be more hard nosed about that.

My goal is to see if your salary target fit's in the company's range. If not, I don't want to waste your time, although in some cases you may be interested in getting less money for stock options and, well, all sorts of good reasons.

Most people volunteer their salary because A) I'll keep it confidential if they ask, and will share market salary info with them, and possibly B) they are confident they are well paid and want to use it as an anchor. If they give me their current salary and their target, I only pass on the target since it's the operative number. I have good clients who have no problem with that.

In your case, truthfully, I would have shared just to hear what their offer was. They don't know your salary now, but you don't know if they would have given you what you wanted because you halted negotiation. If you were looking for a fair market rate and they advertise compensation as "competitive," that shouldn't be a problem.
I don't think they're called anything right now because other websites haven't done them before.
I am looking at apartments to buy here in Sydney and not a single one has available power sockets in the car parking garage. Likewise at work. Which obviously makes charging impossible. The problem here is the chicken/egg situation. Building owners aren't going to install per bay power without cars. And people aren't going to buy cars they can't charge.

As land becomes more and more expensive housing density is increasing worldwide. This means fewer houses will have dedicated garages/driveways and apartments are going to become more popular. This increases the chances that your car will not be within distance of a power socket.

Hydrogen doesn't have this problem. It works exactly like petrol does today. It doesn't require much education or really any change in user behaviour. It is simply another nozzle at the gas station just like when LPG/Natural Gas was introduced.
Isn’t a main problem with p-values that you don’t know whether significance (low p-value) is a result of big effect and small sample or big sample and small effect. This is why you also need a measure for the effect, for example the distance of the two measurements in terms of standard derivations.
Here's a fun tidbit. DTMF supports ０１２３４５６７８９＊＃ as you probably know. But it also supports Ａ, Ｂ, Ｃ and Ｄ - not present on modern phones. These tones were added for use with remote computers and such, think today's phone menus.

The lack of them means there's a whole DTMF "column" gone. DTMF works on a grid. When you press a key, the tone for the row and the tone for the column are played simultaneously:

(Hz) 1209 1336 1477 1633
-------------------------
697 | 1 | 2 | 3 | A |
-------------------------
770 | 4 | 5 | 6 | B |
-------------------------
852 | 7 | 8 | 9 | C |
-------------------------
941 | * | 0 | # | D |
-------------------------

Given the DTMF grid matches the typical layout on dialing pads, I wonder if early DTMF phones would wire the pad in the same grid to generate the corresponding tones?
Yup, happens in the UK. It is cheaper and less politically divisive to build a shared path rather than take on-road parking away to create segregated cycle infrastructure. One of the things I am trying to push into our local council is for them to use the cycling and walking audit tools that were developed as part of the Welsh Active Travel guidance http://gov.wales/consultations/transport/active-travel-desig...

They are available here should you want to use them ;) http://cyclebath.org.uk/resources/

We've had a few schemes where 3-4 multiple designs were submitted and the final chosen design was poor for cycling and walking. Having a cycling and walking audit scores against each design would have given a stronger case for other designs. http://cyclebath.org.uk/2015/05/23/london-road-an-example-of...

Nobody has yet built a storage site for high-level waste. There are three attempts, the two German ones failed. WIPP in New Mexico looks promising but is far from perfect. Even for less-radioactive waste, the current situation doesn't look too good.

The thing is: No matter how often it is repeated, there is currently no safe place to store a sufficient volume of nuclear waste securely anywhere in the world. It's not just a simple question of "paying someone else".

Developing those sites seems possible but the solution to the waste problem isn't there yet.

My wife has an arthritic knee and we bought a e-bike with a throttle. So she can go for a ride with me and then when her knee starts twingeing she can just stop peddling and carry on. We did consider a mobility scooter, but that in no way looks cool in anyway possible.
Theoretical range is pretty much worthless if the battery level depends on some unpredictable outside factor. "I can't take that detour because I did not press priority charge yesterday" isn't exactly what people buy cars for. And taking a more global perspective, it seems quite wasteful to routinely drive around heavy battery overcapacity that is only filled when the trip happens to begin at a time of energy surplus. It can surely make a lot more sense for certain kinds of commercial fleets with very predictable usage patterns, if the typical downtime is long enough.

This has to do with the fact that cyclists are more vulnerable than cars and thats why a car is always responsible. Kinda like in skiing or snowboarding that you're responsible for who is in front of you..

It works fine because the most roads dont have cycling paths next to them, if they do it is divided so cars cant easily get on the bike path and viceversa.
It's just politicians and their cronies benefiting at the masses' expense, i.e. the system working as intended.
The one I came up with used both hands. Each finger on one hand has 9 points - three on the left side, three on the middle surface, and three on the right - which were the values 1-9. The fingers of the other hand indicate the point, by touching the point. If the value is 0 then there's no touch.

This could encode the values 0-99,999.

> A code written in Helvetica would render bizarro on an editor running Futura.

Don't be so sure of that. If you were to load any of my code in your favorite editor and font, you would never know that I wrote it in a proportional font or what font I used. It would just look like ordinary well-formatted code.

The reason is simple: I don't use column alignment at all. Column alignment is the only reason that code formatting would ever depend on what font you use or whether it's a monospaced or proportional font.

Without column alignment, it doesn't matter in the slightest what font you write the code in or what font you read it in. Proportional, monospaced, any font you like. It will look fine.
It helps me visually understand and debug bitwise operations. I suppose you could also compare inputs and outputs by printing the resulting integer as binary text, but I've always just used my hands.

It can also be nifty for ASCII conversions, as letters A-Z and a-z are the numbers 0-26, but with different prefixes (010 and 011 accordingly). This means you can read people's binary tattoos.
I didn't beforehand, thinking if there were something for production purposes rather than being purely academic, I'd know about it. I looked later, though, and couldn't find anything. Btw, you can reach me whenever at westoncb[at Google's mail service]
The Code Quality Myth
The other point that we tend to forget about nuclear waste is that it is not only minuscule in term of size, but it can also be confined. When a factory releases gas in the atmosphere, we loose control of this gas.

To me the main problem with nuclear energy is not the waste, which even if we never intend to recycle is such a tiny volume that being afraid of it is like an elephant being afraid of a mosquito. The problem is rather the chernobyl/Fukushima risk.

I am not a specialist but I understand that switching to Thorium could reduce a lot that risk. Most nuclear reactors around the world have been built in the 60s/70s. I would expect that if we decide to replace them, there would be a sufficient critical mass to justify the cost of moving away from uranium.
They used the nuclear reprocessing plant in La Hague but that waste was shipped back to Germany afterwards. Same with the waste that was processed in Sellafield, though nothing has returned yet from there.

Using those sites for commercial waste is not allowed anymore since 2005 though.

That sounds horribly inefficient and expensive, and doesn't really solve the problem. Standardised battery packs would be a much better solution than making each manufacturer operate a national/global network of recharging stations.
Indeed, in France everyone still write in cursive even with ball pens.

Having to lift the pen for each letter seems so tedious that I don't understand how Americans can write such long texts in print.

The only case where we don't is to fill administrative forms, as they force you to write in print for legibility.
That's all fine, but for example Fukushima is still not under control, and may still cause enormous harm.

That kind of stuff is why we need to get rid of nuclear power altogether. All that's holding us back is politicians and their bribes.. and of course, to a lesser extent, people who rationalize not moving away from nuclear power.
> I do this for a living; I want to look at something I like to look at.

That's an interesting observation. When you spend so much time looking at text, it should be in a form that you enjoy viewing.

The funny thing is that's exactly the same reason I use proportional fonts: I enjoy coding more when my code looks good to my eyes.
I think many Machine Learning algorithms (and optimization techniques) become clearer when you actually implement them. Writing out the for loops instead of looking at 6 nested summations helped me to understand the runtime complexity of algorithms, and why some things are and aren't feasible to compute.

Often it's useful to go start from the "stupidest" implementation and then optimize it. At the end you'll arrive at the formulas that were given to you ;)

I think the problem with your analogy is that it doesn't include the measurement basis. Consider polarization of a photon: you can either distinguish between horizontal or vertical polarization with a measurement, so your basis looks like a "+". Or you can distinguish between diagonal polarizaitons, so your basis looks like an "X".

Now, considering two photons, you don't know which basis Alice or Bob will choose in advance. If you just say "the photon is polarized horizontally", then their outcomes will be random if they measure in the "X" basis. If you include so-called "hidden variables" for all possible measurements, then you're basically at Einstein's idea.

Move polution away to dodge the problem?

A car is about one ton of metal. Whatever the source, it takes the same energy to move it around. Underground resources on the Earth are limited. Each new tech revolution brings us 60 years more of petrol/nuclear/(place any fantasm here), but the number of revolutions is limited, just like Moore's law.

What is happening here is that a car would be the equivalent of a 60-horse carriage in the Middle Age. What kind of kings are we to deserve such servitude from the nature? The ideal of having cars is not a good idea. Carpooling isn't even a reasonable solution.

Americans don't become aware of it because they live with very cheap petrol with low taxes. The rest of the world invents new urbanism based on the impossibility of having 1 car per person. We mix companies and residential area, so we can just walk to work. We're solving the last mile issue of food delivery. We're researching the equation of population density vs pollution. And even in my country (France), petrol isn't expensive enough to make people realize that cars are an un-solution to quality of life.

Even if supposing that we can bury the pollution and invent magical energy, there are major political side effects to digging this energy out. All this money US is spending on war shouldn't be carried by all taxpayers but integrated in the cost of a gallon of petrol. Then they'll realize what is the real cost of petrol. You may assume new forms of energy / pollution burial wouldn't create the same side effects as petrol, but I'm afraid that might be a fantasy.
