I say this as an EV fanatic and Tesla owner, but I'm with you that outright banning ICE cars is the wrong solution.

It totally fucks anybody that can't charge at home. Do you know how many millions of people live in apartments? Do you think they're really going to shell out the cash to build EV chargers in all their parking spots?

The problem is, increasing taxes on gas will disproportionately affect the poor who can't afford to buy an EV (and again, are unlikely to live somewhere with a charger), while also having side effects of increasing the cost of all physical goods that need to be shipped. Semitrucks become more expensive to run, and while Tesla is working on a semi, it's only going to be useful for intra-city distribution, since semis used for inter-city travel are almost constantly on the road and will be driven by multiple drivers to keep moving, so they don't have time to charge.

Historically, over any 30 year span, has there been an 80% drop in market value, or a huge drop that was not preceded by a bull market? What exact sequence would have to occur for this hypothetical to have lost 80% in market value and be stuck in a market that doesn't recover quickly?

By most historical averages, after 20 years the hypothetical portfolio has grown to $2 million inflation-adjusted, which means a drop to $100k or $250k would be a whopping 87.5%+ crash.

On the flip side, a prolonged bear market in the first few years are the worst case scenario, though for most early retirees, the choices are to ignore the "fixed 5%" and/or seek additional income, if the sequence of returns really are dire enough.

Wrong. Freezing temperatures are by far the most challenging environments for plants to deal with and only a limited set of species are well adapted for cold climates. Meanwhile warm climates mean year round growing seasons and the widest range of species that thrive, this is why you can grow almost anything in tropical zones and get much more productivity out of that growth.

Much respect for the honestly, introspection I can only imagine it takes to write that, and thank you for the perspective. I stutter and there have been discrete times I’ve noticed my mom being embarrassed, ashamed of me for it. She’s always been a great parent and really supportive, but to be honesty I can’t blame her: it must be frustrating seeing this develop and take hold in your child and not being able to beat it. It’s a seriously complicated thing, so while I thought man that’s really petty of you mom, at the same time I understood how she must feel. Anyway, brutal it ruined your marriage. Sorry to hear that. I have a newborn son and it’s really something watching to see if he will inherit this. I think if he does, that’s ok: there’s a lot worse you can inherit, a lot worse. That’s the thing about stuttering, it’s all in your head and you tend to blow it out of proportion which only makes it worse than it is or could be. I hope to come to terms with this stuttering to some extent, but don’t feel guilty or bad about yourself if you don’t completely.
Funny hitch - they don't require batteries. When the grid goes down you're left without power because your solar system isn't storing locally. Of course, you can add your own battery array, but many people didn't/haven't and have suffered through these blackouts like everyone else connected to the grid.

Out of curiosity how long did you have it for? Because voting reform can not fix the damage of a legacy of FPTP the moment it is instituted, it's going to take 4 or 5 elections before

1. the public figures out how it works

2. parties start appearing that arn't getting crushed by other network effects

3. that an understanding of what a strategic vote looks like in the new system is widespread and existing parties start playing the new game.

And since election cycles are often something like... 4 years. You'd need a voting system in place for maybe 20 years before anything positive would start to happen, and that would apply to any voting system put forward.

Like. These systems are for the far flung future of the country. Not... next election.

This is a harder problem then it seems. Lots of applications are built to be programming for non-programmers and the company I work for loves the idea and falls for it all too often. In reality what happens are the users still can't or won't learn how to translate their own work processes into a logic required by the application regardless of how "intuitive" the interface is and the system ends up in the hands of software devs that now have to use a tool with significantly less flexibility and more bloat.

There’s a detailed explanation of the differences between an electric motor and an internal-combustion engine (ICE). The latter is far more complicated - it requires a crankshaft with counterweights to translate the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion, a flywheel to smooth power output, a DC motor for starting, an alternator to charge the battery, a cooling system, and a host of other gadgets that an electric motor doesn’t need. An induction motor, which produces direct rotational motion and uniform power output, is much smaller and lighter. Tesla’s induction motor puts out 270 kW of power and weighs 31.8 kg, whereas an ICE that produces 140 kW of power is going to weigh around 180 kg. [1]

Teslas use electric motors that have two moving parts, and single-speed “transmissions” that have no gears. The company says its drivetrain has about 17 moving parts compared with about 200 in a conventional internal combustion drivetrain.[2]

Far fewer moving parts, and a transmission with no moving parts.

Electric cars are so efficient that they are actually bad for the economy - by some estimates it may cut the number of jobs in auto manufacturing by 50%. [2] Who knows how many jobs will be lost with the reduction in fossil fuels and the disappearance of gas stations, fuel deliveries, fewer mechanics... Electric motors also last for decades with negligible degradation compared to ICEs. The advances in battery technology will make older EVs that much more valuable, since their range will increase over time with battery upgrades that will probably be cheaper than buying a similarly sized IC engine.

This is a valid argument, and you do need to benchmark on underpowered hardware. My gut feeling that a 1 MB blob of JS is not a huge problem even for a cheap smartphone nowadays, and if it is, the HTML/CSS can become the bigger problem.

I remember doing really silly-sounding things (like shipping a web app + the entire database) with excellent results. Even if the initial load takes a while, you can't beat the instant responsiveness of already having the data when the user clicks on another piece of content. Hundreds of KB of JSON on a 2013 smartphone (probably Nexus 4 or 5) was still a pretty good experience IIRC, at least on par with a modern web site on a modern smartphone. On a PC, I've mercilessly thrown hundreds of MB of binary data at JavaScript.

In my experience, aside from long network request chains, the biggest performance killer is e.g. having nested Angular elements that all refresh every time you touch anything on the page, not code size. If you know what you're doing and care (e.g. diligently mark immutable stuff as such), you get excellent performance. It's just that most don't care.

Exactly, there is also the consideration of the type of blindness. Retinal blindness is very common due to injuries and conditions like diabetes, and a retinal implant connecting to an otherwise functional visual pathway is probably the easiest case to solve for.

For persons such as yourself and those with cortical blindness due to strokes etc it is much, much harder. Hopefully improvements to accessibility and rethinking interfaces in general provides a path forward in some ways.

Is making a trip to a gas station just to fill your car up a good use of time? Or is it better to accept responsibility and make sure you've plugged it in at home? Have you ever forgotten to fill up your gas tank and been stuck on the road? C'mon.
Very well crafted hokum, congratulations.
CO2 is not good for plants that burn because the weather's been too dry. Very local adapted low population environments cannot be compared to what's going on now, all your examples in the same temperature range as now are pure coastal populations with no sea level rise, the earlier era examples are warming from much lower temps, basically recovery from the glaciation of 20k years ago.
You write "With each passing year the percentage of the increase in CO2 levels decreases." It is absolutes that matters, each carbone dioxyde molecule added contributes to greenhouse just like all the previously spewed ones there is no diminishing returns on that, and tipping points are indeed waiting. And we have not observed what? We have observed already a lot of runaway chaos you know full well.

But banning ICE cars is clearly even worse for those unable to afford an EV, right? Unless policy-makers think that precommitting to ban ICE cars by 2035 will lead to a sudden flurry of new EV development _that wouldn't have happened if they had just precommitted to adding large carbon taxes by 2035.
The question seems odd to me. How could the letter he received, its tone, and everything else in this case be unintentional?

Right... Unless you have something like an aggressive carbon tax (at the consumer level), why would the free market work? Climate Change is clearly a tragedy of the commons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons)

The technology is clearly possible, but getting past a local equilibrium requires some energy.

> The energy density (kWh/kg) of the Mirai fuel cell system (stack, tank, etc) is probably 2x or more than its battery. Replacing it with a battery would probably cut range substantially.

I'm not sure how much that matters practically, however. The Toyota Mirai has an EPA estimated range of 312 miles and a base Tesla Model 3 is only a few miles shorter at 299 EPA estimated miles. They appear to be about the same size, though admittedly the Model 3 weighs 20X as much, if quickly searched numbers are correct. Consumers likely don't care about the weight difference other than how it impacts handling (and no one is complaining about the Model 3's handling) and indirectly felt impacts on road maintenance costs (and no one is paying attention to that at all, at least not right now in SUV/light truck-loving America).

(ETA: And it doesn't look like the weight scales the way that the size does in a comparable way to battery weight, density aside, and that Toyota can't just double/triple the tank size and blow EVs out of the water range-wise weight for weight or they would have already done so.)

> If fuel cells eventually matter (eg for heavy-duty applications), the Mirai could fail as a vehicle while succeeding as an R&D testbed.

That almost sounds like a valid reason for the Mirai to continue to exist. Certainly if you are a heavy-duty industrial user of Hydrogen such as a mining company using Hydrogen to replace diesel mining equipment, it might makes sense to have your support fleet of vehicles in/around your mines also capable of using the same Hydrogen infrastructure. That's looking likely to be a small corporate niche at best, so I'm still not sure that it makes sense in 2020 for Toyota to sell the Mirai as a consumer vehicle, but yes maybe calling it a gloom and doom for Toyota to be doing so is a bit strong.
> The legislation asks them to take their finger off the scales, not put it on the other side.

This is fair. Though why conservatives would want this is a mystery. For example, Trump is allowed to post on Twitter and Facebook despite breaking their rules time and time again. Being consistent would mean removing a lot of conservatives voices, voices that have been protected by these big tech companies.

Who are you? And why are you making this weird argument? Are you trying to make a point, or is your sole purpose in winning this argument?
The "not fair" part is only ascribing responsibility for the bad stuff.

Something that gets discussed here a lot is CA law on non-competes, which could have a pretty big impact on that tech business part of the economy. But you said the economy is due to "tech culture and weather" - not possibly any policy-related things.

CA has gotten some things right, and some things wrong. But I don't think you did a good job demonstrating why you think, say, the state government is more to blame for cost of living than the private sector economy is (from a "infinite growth forever isn't sustainable" point of view, say, or a "things are inflated by a flood of private VC investment to unprofitable companies that are distorting markets").
DLC can be problematic but it can also be a benefit. An example with Tesla is that the Model 3 recently received an option to improve its off the line acceleration after Tesla monitored enough usage to see if there were any motor and battery issues in their new model 3. You'd have to wait to get a new car in the old world.
US EPA[0] / CA ARB[1] data on emissions shares by sector:

* 28%/41% - transportation

* 27%/15% - electricity

* 22%/24% - industry

* 12%/12% - commercial & residential

* 10%/ 8% - agriculture

58% of US transportation (~16% of the US total) is passenger cars and light-duty trucks, the focus of this announcement. CA accounts for about 6-7% of US CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalents), so this action targets roughly 1% of our national emissions, not nothing but certainly more symbolic than impactful (even considering spillover effects). electricity and industry must be tackled as well, coordinated among a majority of states.

the US, ~4% of the world's population, produces about 15% of the world's emissions (2nd to china, EU together is 3rd). this is why it's even more critical that the US, china and the EU especially come together on climate change (e.g., the paris accords) rather than giving the middle finger like we americans did recently.

> If half of the world immediately upgraded to electric cars, sure there would be a temporary surplus of vehicles, but it would only last until the old ones broke down.

Exactly. There'd be a temporary surplus of (newer, better-condition) ICE vehicles. And people who are otherwise faced with a $1500 bill to repair their old one "kinda needs repairs, burns some oil but a quart a week isnt too bad", will instead buy a more efficient ICE. Most new BEV will get an old shitty ICE off the road.
