You are missing a key factor: government subsidies, which incentivize maximum corn production. Cut the subsidies and the desired change would happen; we would still have corn to eat, but much less HFCS and Ethanol (another corn product that causes more harm than good).

I don't want to sound like a broken record but... how many times do you go to fill up your car with gasoline, and you think "Where can I go/what activity can I fill my time with so I can get gas?" (At worst, you think, what gas station is on the way?)

It makes perfect sense that in this less than ideal scenario where chargers are sparse and inconvenient that you change up what you do for entertainment to center it around car chargers. But it has to stop being a requirement for it to make sense for "everyone" to switch from gas to EV.
You haven't answered the question. There are flaws with the CA system, yes. But replacing it with self-signed certificates creates new problems. How do you address them?

Sure, but to extend your metaphor, using Haskell to teach non-Haskell programmers about monads is like using Thai to teach English speakers the history of Thailand; the language might be better suited for the topic, but the people you're teaching don't know it, and learning it is orthogonal to the actual thing you're trying to teach them.
Actually, houses are getting larger by square footage over time, although not sure about lot size.

And peak population won't necessarily create a housing crash everywhere. As long as urbanization continues, it could just slow the growth of cities.
The Bolt may have been long off but the Spark name was announced in 2009 and started selling at the same time as the Volt. The Spark was available for the 2011 model year in Europe and for the 2013 model year in the U.S (with a BEV option). The Chevy Volt on the other hand was available for the 2011 model year. So they definitely seemed to be going for electricity themed names.
The slow trickle charge is indeed slow, but it's not truly a trickle. It runs about 4-5 Miles/Hr. If you largely drove on the weekend, you could fully recharge the car in a 4-day session. (24 * 5 * 4=400 miles). Additionally, most weekend trips are not 300+ miles, so you would often return with 20-30% battery, which would reduce your charging time to just 3 days. That sounds doable to me.
There is a technical reason. I may know, but Google does not. I look up "Man in the Middle" and get many years worth of useful info. I look up "Monster in the Middle", and here's what I get: one result about a cloudflare project, one bodybuilding.com post, one disney wiki post, and several you tube videos about "HuggleMonsters". After those is this discussion. Does that sound like a really good term to use? This looks like some one at cloud flare got pc and used the term, then this guy got in on it. I see no reason to let some company decide what's proper; I'd rather go for decades of security and development expertise.
County funds don’t pay for city infrastructure. They’re two separate entities with different financial responsibilities. They don’t just share tax revenue with each other.
If you don't have a huge commute every day, a 110v "trickle charge" is actually quite adequate. A Model 3 gets about 5 mph charge on a 110 outlet. That's at least 60 miles over night and 120 miles in 24 hours. You can always supercharge if you need it.

Italians that have an id card predating electronic id are routinely bumped off American bars because to them it looks like it's just a piece of paper with a photo stitched on top. Yet, identity theft is a problem in the US and not in Italy...

In fact, even though that id card actually is relatively easy to forget, it does have some watermarks and special government stamps. In fact, it's probably easier to fake an electronic id card with a piece of plastic, if you know no one is going to try using the smartcard functionality.

That seems like a pretty clear violation of local laws. I'm not saying I'm in support of the law (quite the opposite, actually, let the competition rise, even if it's something I dislike e.g. Uber) but it's kind of scummy to just let users take the heat.

Deep discharges and sitting at low state of charge for a long time are the main things that shorten battery life.

Also harmful is charging to the absolute maximum state of charge. I believe most vehicles have a setting to terminate the charge at a level that maximizes battery life and another setting that maximizes range.
What if workplaces add chargers as a benefit? I've seen several do it near me. People then just plug their car in at work.

Tl;dr:

"Commonly known as thyroid blocking, taking potassium iodide (KI)1 before or at the beginning of exposure to radioactive iodine blocks the uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland, thus reducing exposure of the thyroid to internal radiation.
KI does not protect against any other radioactive substances, e.g. radioactive caesium. It is not a generic radiation antidote."

"Taking KI shortly before or immediately at the time of exposure to radioactive iodine offers the most effective protection. [...] If taken 4 hours after exposure, protection will be reduced by half; taking KI more than 24 hours after exposure will offer no protection."

"A single dose of KI is usually sufficient for adequate protection for 24 hours."

"Age group - Mass of KI (mg) - Example of fraction of tablets (130 mg KI tablets)

>12 years and adults - 130mg - 1

3 – 12 years - 65mg - 1/2

1 month – 3 years - 32mg - 1/4

Neonate (< 1) - 16mg - 1/8"

"The risk of thyroid cancer in children following exposure to radioactive iodine is higher than in adults; younger age groups are at highest risk. As a result, the protection of children must be considered a priority"

"During pregnancy, the mother's thyroid gland is metabolically more active than in non-pregnant women, and the amount of radioactive iodine that will be taken up by the thyroid increases in comparison with other adults. The foetal thyroid gland may be exposed to radioactive iodine through the placenta, but will also be protected by the KI taken by the mother. [...] The amount of KI that a breastfeeding woman will provide to an infant through breast milk is not enough to protect the thyroid of an infant exposed to radioactive iodine."

"The risk of side effects from KI increases with age, while the risk of radiation-induced thyroid cancer in individuals over 40-years old is low. For this reason, thyroid blocking with KI is not generally indicated in adults over 40 years of age, unless the projected radiation dose to the thyroid rises to levels that threaten the thyroid gland and interfere with its function."

"Adverse effects of KI on thyroid function are more frequent in individuals with other, pre-existing thyroid disorders. These disorders are more common in older adults and in the elderly than in children or young adults."

This is great. I've contributed a bit to the OpenBSD kernel and core user space, but CVS is so much trouble (especially for those of us who are not core developers with access) that's it kept me away from fixing more things because of all the extra CVS-created work.

If they switch to something from this millennium (which they now seem to be doing!) then I could help do more. This may tip me over to running OpenBSD full time on my upcoming laptop.

Literally every engineering project has to balance cost vs quality.

Typically, “planned obsolescence” refers to an intentional defect that is artificially added in order to prematurely cause a failure.

However, that doesn’t mean every failure is a result of planned obsolescence — defects can also can be expected under the normal course of a product’s lifetime.

Premium product lifetimes are a result of premium materials and construction, which cost a premium price. Choosing the correct materials to balance the expected lifetime along with other performance and price characteristics is good engineering practice, not malice.

Car2Go used to operate in my US city, but they pulled out a couple years ago under the guise of "an onerous new tax burden" (despite no new taxes being passed). I think the real issue was they were just plain expensive -- barely cheaper than an Uber, and way less comfortable.

Other rent-by-time companies like ZipCar are similarly expensive. I'm not convinced that business model works, at least the ways I've seen it implemented.

No, you are not telling the whole picture. Those cars cannot run 100% on the battery, because the moment you hit the accelerator hard ICE kicks in. If you're gentle on the accelerator or avoid high speeds on the highway, yes, you can avoid the gas engine. But you have to work for it. It's almost impossible to drive those vehicles for extended periods of time without using the gas engine.

The Volt is designed explicitly so that the gas engine is never necessary. Top speed, hardest acceleration, etc. all is the same experience as a 100% pure battery electric vehicle. Until you run out of battery. And then it meets all the same performance characteristics, but with the ICE involved.
Your OS or an app talking to their mothership can and do use cert pinning. What about all the millions of websites?

A rogue/compromised CA will be caught by certificate transparency and distrusted.

Also, as 'tptacek noted, you haven't explained how to securely use self signed certs to protect against attacker at the WiFi AP, which is a very accessible kind of attack (compared to compromising a CA, a registrar, a datacenter or internet backbone traffic).
> I live in a 100 year old apartment

Keeping in mind '100 years old' sounds dramatic but is now as recent as 1919, which doesn't sound that old when you write it out! That's about a fifth of the housing stock in the UK I believe. Obviously, almost none of these houses have garages.

I wonder if local governments could install plugs under little hatches like they use for stop cocks all the way down residential roads.

It's not hard to make an argument for the Vietnam War. Compare it to Korea. How much would you pay to get another South Korea (GDP per capita something like 30,000) vs. Vietnam (GDP per capita something like 3,000).

Obviously it's a counter-factual. Maybe Vietnam was inherently unwinnable. Maybe victory would have left Southeast Asia just as messed up as defeat.
The problem is who is examine?

Take this random page for exmaple.

https://examine.com/nutrition/lemon-water/

It's written by some guy called "Wyatt Brown". Who is he? Is he a scientist? A doctor? A university professor.

Oh - I don't need to worry about that, because:

> Our evidence-based analysis features 42 unique references to scientific papers.

Right then. Quoting papers makes you a reliable expert and able to make claims about medicine and science and health.

No, I think I understand why Google has de-ranked this one.

This website is clearly a fraud - and looks like one too - that uses a form of sophistry to make claims as to it's own reliability, namely that by quoting "references" a non-person can make claims they ought not to be making. References help boost the credibility of an already credible publication or individual, that don't make something out of nothing.
Also, most luxury apartments have in-unit laundry. Just like they typically have electric charging stations in their garages. Laundry actually is scarily analogous here
It’s a nice thought. But imagine there was a giant flood in your neighborhood, and your solution was to grab a spoon from the kitchen and start scooping spoonfuls town the drain.

Maybe your example would inspire your neighbors to reach into their own kitchen drawers for a spoon, and maybe in some happy version of the universe all the spoons would add up to enough and your neighborhood would be saved.

I don’t think this metaphor is as poor as it sounds — if anything a spoonful of water against a neighborhood flood is probably orders of magnitude more significant than your personal contribution to slowing global warming.

So I’ve come to the opposite conclusion as you: this focus on personal efficiency is misguided, and we should spend the vast majority of our efforts on advocating for policy shifts like increased carbon taxes and technological solutions.
> I think this points out the elephant in the room: why are so many people in supposedly high income cities not able to buy properties?

I own & live in an apartment on the top floor of a 3 floor walk-up in a busy metropolitan city. There is perhaps one single person on our street that has a "garage". Everyone else parks on the street. The "not able to buy property" argument here seems like a red herring.

1. There is no good reason not to link to them, there are only bad reasons not to link to them. You're not linking to them because they're not outright endorsements, and you know it.

2. The item below that is '4 science-based “superfoods” you should consider eating'. That's pretty much just as much click-bait as the other.

3. You link to the person providing the review, preferably to a page where they actually say that they're recommending your site. Why are you making it my - or anyone else's - job to figure out who is endorsing you and to verify that they really have?

4. Yes, you are a business, and you really make it clear on your main page. Like it or not, people don't put blind faith in companies trying to sell them stuff. That makes your job harder, sure, but that's life.

Look, at the end of the day you can ignore what I've written. I'm not claiming to be anyone or have any sort of following. I'm not a developer, I work in support, and I deal with customers, so I spend a lot of time trying to see things from their perspective.

You've lost a lot of potential business from Google de-emphasizing your site in their results. I don't claim to know why they've done this, I'm just giving my impressions when I look at things from the perspective of the average user (insomuch as there is an "average user", of course).

Looking deeper, I tried to checkout some backlinks to your site. From news sites, I see a couple of trends, some good, some not so good. The Washington Post article you link to is actually one of the better ones - it's not an actual endorsement from WaPo, but it is a 3rd party recommending your site. The article you link to from The New York Times, and another one from The Sydney Morning Herald, aren't really good links - they're quoting Kamal Patel as the director of Examine.com. The NYT at least does provide a few deep links, but still, I doubt it comes off as a real endorsement to the average reader.

I could go on, but I'm not an SEO expert, and your reply doesn't really make it seem like you're open to feedback.
La Rambla, Sagrada Familia and Park Guell are inundated, step a few blocks away and it's generally much quieter, plenty of small plazas etc.

Last time I went, I visited those places, but I stayed in a tiny hotel in the gothic quarter and walked from there to Park Guell instead of using the tube, stopping to get ice cream or coffee, letting my four year old play on the park and so on. Step away, slow down and enjoy it.
To use an analogy to build on what the author says, a farmer doesn’t keep using the same soil to harvest the same crop, because this depletes the land and makes it useless in the long run. There are richer sources of new companies outside traditional networks in a global economy. Toiling away at the same narrow plot of land is a provincial, narrow, and short-sighted approach.

There's plenty of properties which are super high-end and which don't come with their own parking space(terraced houses on popular streets in the UK can go for millions and yet you won't get your own parking space - just a parking permit to park on the street, but there is no guarantee it will be in front of your own house).

I'm not a fan of "don't judge a book by its cover." The purpose of the cover (other than to keep garlic mayo off the pages) is to be judged.

It's at the peril of the website to have such good content diminished by poor window dressing.
