As far as I understand, the car asks the Level 3 charger for a certain amount of volts and amperes, and the charger delivers exactly what the car needs (being able to vary the parameters for each type of car - and yes, those Level 3 DC chargers are big, complex, and expensive). Then the current goes directly to the battery. And this is why the charging gets so fast: there are no intermediate steps. The car just needs to provide cooling for the battery and control the charging process.
It looks like something similar to UML but made more accessible. I like it too.
Anything helpful should be added to it.
I have an outdoor ev charger (no garage) and I've plugged it in during downpours with no issues. EV charging plugs (J1772) have recessed contacts that you can't touch without tremendous effort and electronics that ensure that they don't turn on the charging current until they are securely affixed to and communicating with the car.

There is a pilot current to establish the communication that coordinates this but it's nothing that would electrocute someone (probably similar to an Ethernet cable).
It’s a terrifying overreach. The law is so vague many can be considered to be in violation without even realizing it.

I’ll be happy to remove this comment as it was just a red flag for other people to ignore an account that had been create ~30 minutes prior to posting that one comment. That said, while I do defend my ideas, I’ve tried to keep my comments as civil as possible and about methodology/lack of scientific rigor, rather than purely ideological. I see many people make completely unfounded claims without providing a single shred of scientific proof or critical process used to arrive to their conclusion. Will they be warned too?
Plants do not produce iodine (it's an element), and they can only accumulate it from the environment. People living in environments rich in iodine, likely, do not need iodine supplementation.

Its how we live and dine. Prehistoric humans ate, hunted and lived together as tribes while at the same time acting very antisocial to other competing tribes. We are built to be social at the same time we are also built to be wary and even hostile to people we dont know. Its a contradiction. If you are not eating and living with anyone then you are most likely lonely. The answer is to find a community that eats and dines and live together.

Well, this assumes that the local populace will reliably eat the spirulina. The nice thing about salt, is that you only have to solve the problem of getting people to eat the salt that you've iodized. You don't have to solve the additional problem of getting them to eat salt in the first place.

If you're running some sort of anti-malnutrition campaign that involves local cultivation of spiritual then sure, why not add iodine to it? (Assuming that this is technically feasible. Don't know whether it is or not.) But if you are trying to solve the specific problem of iodine deficiency, then I'm not sure why you would start with "first, grow a bunch of spirulina..."

What they actually found out:

“Manny has proven that the way in which pendant cords are tied to the top cord indicates which social group an individual belonged to. This is the first time anyone has shown that and it's a big deal,”
The ambiguity comes from the definition of i and -i from algebraic perspective. They are two roots of sqrt(-1) and they have indistinguishable properties other than the fact that they are different. I.e. if we live in an alternate world where the complex plane is flipped (j = -i) then there is no way to distinguish this world between the original.

It’s similar to the inherent ambiguity between left and right - the only defining characteristics of them are they are opposite to each other.

Note that 1 and -1 have different mathematical properties (in most cases - in Z/2 they would be equal) that allow us to distinguish. 1 * x = x but -1 * x = -x.
the founder was basically saying that, if he somehow knew before the fact that you were good, he would hire you. he certainly would not just hire an arbitrary college dropout. it's essentially a vacuous conditional that sidesteps the fact that a college degree is widely considered a signifier of some minimal level of skill and will of course be one of the primary ways that applicants are evaluated, unless they somehow have substantial work experience at the age of 20.

In my neighborhood there has been no electrical grid upgrade (other than repairs) since the 1960s (when the subdivision was built). I think your 15 year timeline for normal grid renewal is wildly optimistic at least for most established suburban areas.

Also few people keep their cars for 15 years. I think 5-7 years is much more normal (though perhaps you meant the total life of the car, from original owner to the last).

Ending forced arbitration was number one on Susan Fowler's list of "Five Things Tech Companies Can Do Better":

legally, responsibly, and transparently.

Microsoft's change of policy makes sense when you consider that NDA's are losing their effectiveness in cases of sexual abuse:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-misconduct-agreements...

Some states already have laws restricting
confidentiality agreements that conceal "public
hazards," such as product defects or environmental
contamination.

The same reasoning could potentially be used to
invalidate non-disclosure agreements covering
allegations of sexual misconduct, lawyers say,
on the theory that some harassers could pose danger
to others if their conduct is not revealed.

Some salts, like sea salts, do contain other minerals, although whether they're at nutritionally significant levels is of course another question. And adding iodine to sea salt wouldn't remove whatever other compounds were in it. Wikipedia has this:

Unrefined sea salt contains small amounts of magnesium and calcium halides and sulfates, traces of algal products, salt-resistant bacteria and sediment particles. The calcium and magnesium salts confer a faintly bitter overtone... Algal products contribute a mildly "fishy" or "sea-air" odour, the latter from organobromine compounds. Sediments, the proportion of which varies with the source, give the salt a dull grey appearance. Since taste and aroma compounds are often detectable by humans in minute concentrations, sea salt may have a more complex flavor than pure sodium chloride when sprinkled on top of food.

Yes, and standard chargers can be installed anywhere you can put a clothes dryer. You only need 120kW charging if you're going to be road-tripping. In the 2+ years I've owned an EV I've never had an issue, including doing 300mi+ in a single day about once a week.

Heck, when I bought my current house I didn't need to do anything since the previous owner already had a NEMA 14-50 outlet for their welder.
Every single job I've take has advertised that a degree is required. After joining, I've always had at least one co-worker without a degree (usually in some sort of respected, senior role). A degree certainly makes things easier, but everything in business is negotiable.
Partially it was because potassium iodide (a form of iodine that is convenient) is also a salt, like sodium chloride (table salt). So "put the salt in the salt" is pretty obvious.

It was also wildly successful because at the time, salt was turning from an expensive good of varying quality produced by thousands of companies to an extremely cheap good of uniform quality produced by a near monopoly in the United States. Public health advocates were able to get just a couple of companies on board and iodize basically all the salt, which then reached basically all the people, basically solving the problem completely overnight.

Hence the French expression "crétin des Alpes" to designate an idiot.
This sounds great and sensible in a hand-wavy way, but getting the technology in place to effectively use plugged-in EVs for extra peak load capacity will take a long time. This sort of thing was never thought about in grid design engineering until very recently.

Also think about when peak demand happens -- late afternoon on hot summer days. Right at the time when people are getting home, with their EVs discharged (or at least, not at full capacity) after a day's use.
> Where did Western people get iodine before it was necessary to add it to salt?

Some lived near the sea and had high seafood diets, but most were just iodine deficient, which doesn't stop a population from surviving, though it leads to suboptimal outcomes in a number of dimensions.

There is this wierd pervasive mythology that before modern times people lived in an ideal state (at least in terms of nutrition), so any present deficiency from the ideal must reflect a difference between modern and premodern society. Past conditions were at least minimally adequate for survival and reproduction, or we wouldn't be here, but there's no real basis for assuming that they were in any way ideal.

Your question has been answered explicitly twice. Perhaps you are actually asking something else?
And it this case it appears that spending a buck to iodize a few tons of salt is probably easier or at least easy enough that it doesn't make sense to go through the effort to switch to something else.

The article might have been more nuanced had it considered survivorship bias, i.e. that the companies experiencing a wake up call at the first priced round, might never have reached that priced round without the expediency of a SAFE.

VC's find many reasons to pass on companies. Cascading SAFEs consuming equity is just one more at best. Just another flavor of early investment unfavorably encumbering a company at worst. Likewise, founders discovering that taking venture capital will mean giving up more control than they hoped is again not a new phenomenon unique to SAFE's. Venture capital has always tended toward ruthlessness when negotiating terms...that's why it expects preferred shares and a seat on the board.

There's nothing more wrong with SAFE's than VC. TANSTAAFL.

The consensus in this thread is that Crystal has lost a lot of steam recently and little is being done. In fact, it's been nearly 6 months since the last release. As a member of the core team, I'll be honest: this is correct.

Manas, Crystal's main commercial backer has had a very tough year and has been unable to donate as much manpower to the project as previous years. The non-manas members of the core team have had difficulty finding time too. This has been a low point in the project, but it's very possible that 2018 will be a different story. Development is picking up right now, extremely basic windows support is just a few days from being merged into master, and the 0.24.1 release is imminent. There will be a blog post regarding this on crystal-lang.org soon.
