I mean, with new teslas, their range is similar enough to gas cars that you only need to charge them about once a week, if that. And they charge fast enough that it's not terribly dissimilar from hitting the gas station, which currently is perhaps a 10 minute affair for gas. Bumping that to ~20min isn't a dealbreaker. It's feasible, if a little bit annoying, to have a refueling story for them that's similar to that of gas cars.

I think this idea of electrics desperately needing to charge every time they're parked - it's not wrong, but it's getting pretty close to being an anachronism, and I expect it actually will be on in 5ish years, certainly 10.

You forget that currently road maintenance and other expenses are taken from the petrol tax when share of EV increases there will have to be a tax on charging so total cost of ownership over all the years of owning EV will start to go up.
Pluton, from the Greek, ploutous, 'wealth', as is the word plutocracy. Obviously 'Pluton' plays a role in the future of Windows as a management platform for human assets. In this context, we might think of the 'pluton' as a fundamental particle of a plutocracy maintained using computer technology.
Didn't want to say it was a bad idea, just that EV have to become viable for the general population and that is currently not the case because of the higher price. Very high taxes on fuel would also incentivize people to buy EV.

I don't use a car much that is why I have a used one for ~2500$. I know a mechanic for cheap repairs, I need it occasionally to reach friends and family and public transport is not an option since time has become so valuable and it doesn't work for emergencies.

I would not want to spend 20,000$ on a car because it would just be parked most of the time. Especially among younger people I see this very often. It will be interesting to see EVs hit used markets. My company leases cars for 50,000$ without thinking twice and some people just love cars that much, but that isn't realistic for the vast majority of people.

Currently used EV can cost 25,000$. Not viable for the mass market.

I'd like webpages to be pretty eternal, that is, statically rendered in a html file, put on a webserver somewhere that is maintained until perpetuity - you know, like the now famous Space Jam website.

But in practice that doesn't happen because Reasons. I'm glad there's the Internet Archive, and I hope there's others, but at the same time I'm aware that an operation like that is really expensive and not profitable.

Edit: I just got a 'thank you' mail from the IA for donating; apparently it only has 4000 sponsors. If you consider the IA an essential part of the internet, consider pushing a few dollars a month their way. If you work for an internet company, consider a corporate sponsorship. Let that dank investor money flow to something that isn't focused on optimizing engagement and ad impressions.

For other archiving, I know of some people who have accumulated vast caches of data and information, for example about Playstation games. Amateur archivists. I know one guy who's been obsessed with an old PS2 game for years now, he doesn't even like the game and the game is objectively bad, but he's spent a ton of time on getting all the data out of there; unused content, the content no longer accessible that used to be an online mode, and getting all the rules and things out. To the point where he taught himself coding and wrote a save file editor, I mean the code looks crude, crammed into a single file and very literal, but it works, it can be followed, and it fulfils a purpose.

Tl;dr don't underestimate individuals with singular, near obsessive interests on the internets. I'm sure some of you will feel seen.
The signals that the ban is coming have been there for decades. Professor David King, former chief scientific advisor to the UK government, suggested a ban on petrol cars in 2002 (http://www.evuk.co.uk/hotwires/rawstuff/art33.html). That would have been a bit early for a ban in my opinion, but had the government heeded his advice and put in a legally binding ban to come in from, say, 2015, then the UK would be well ahead of the curve and would have created tens of thousands of jobs in the electric vehicle industry.

It's also worth pointing out that the 'ban' doesn't ban the sale of all ICE cars - hybrids are still going to be available for sale until at least 2035.

It is enough to show that _something_ not right happened. Of course it happened I'm a state that always votes one way, so that one video is not enough to change the results. But it is enough to make me wonder where else it happened. I wonder enough so that if there are more incidents then I would have no problem with an investigation.

On this specific issue, what more could be done, really?

Bring the ban to 2025? 2022? One can't simply expect mass production to switch that fast.

UK has already tightened emissions rules on vehicles and VED taxes more polluting cars more heavily. They could, and probably will, ratchet things more.

The right response on this policy is to say: great thanks Boris, you can clearly see the potential in green tech, now could you do X, Y, and Z too?

Yes, the government expects people to lap this up. Which is a reason why they do it. If they see electric cars both piss off the Daily Mail camp and yet are still criticised as worthless by environmentalists then we're not giving them the right incentives to take further measures.

Some teams focus on communicating as much as possible and I as a developer am in favor of this, since it makes my job easier.

On the other hand some teams, usually startups that move too fast and can't communicate everything, stress the importance of independence.

Both are needed, when you can say as much as you can, I am totally for overcommunication. Sometimes unexpected things happen, or there is just not enough time for proper communications, so a proper judgement is needed.

Edit: From the EUA itself (linked by someone else above), I find these conditions on their marketing to be hilarious:

"No descriptive printed matter, advertising, or promotional materials, relating to the use of your product may represent or suggest that this test is safe or effective for the detection of SARS-CoV-2."

Which is then immediately followed by (emphasis added):

"Z. All descriptive printed matter, advertising, and promotional materials, relating to the use
of your product shall clearly and conspicuously state that:

· This home test kit has not been FDA cleared or approved;

· This home test kit has been authorized by FDA under an EUA;

· This home test kit has been authorized only for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens; and ..."

Which is it -- authorized for the safe & effective detection of SARS-Cov-2, or authorized for sale but NOT safe and/or effective? Also, the EUA requires them to build a "results reporting website/portal" within 4-months.

Idk, it sure seems like a non-zero amount of subjective bureaucracy to me.

There are many things that can be done, in this very same moment. The problem is the high cost in political resources that no one is willing to pay.

Some examples:

- Start by implementing a odd/even rule for license plates in big cities, even full bans on weekends.

- Tax and/or de-subsidize the meat industry.

- Incentivize the installation of wind or other renewable energies. Energies with no CO2 emissions, like nuclear, should be encouraged.

- Stop getting oil from the northern sea. Leave it underground.

Their ambitions are curbed by their capacity, nothing more. The initial phase of NK existence was militant expansion, arrested only with crushing military defeat.

The broad framework of Communist states at the time was establishing world dominance through force and persuasion, although they couldn't agree on the exact pace and methods. NK was in this respect not an outlier, the Kim v1 likely seeing his role in the new world order less marginal than ruling half a peninsula. In particular, anti-Japan sentiment was and still is cultivated throughout society. In 2020 it can not be ascribed to realistic self-preservation interest.

And in either case, the very fact they do have ideology means a lot. Certain decisions are going to be made not due to strategic and personal interest but to an abstract rulebook not necessarily in sync with reality. Therein lies a huge danger not covered by assumptions of rational actor model.

This is utterly ridiculous. I live in the UK and have been renting for many years, I've lived at 15+ addresses and not at a single one could I have powered the car from home. Not one.

The UK is small, cars are squeezed onto tiny roads and most people do on-street parking, i.e. you park where you can. When I last had a car I could only park around the corner from my flat (which was set far back from the road).

Having off-street parking is a luxury here that only a small % of people have, and even then if you have a block of flats it still makes charging from home more or less practically impossible.

Unless the govt intend to install charging points at every car parking spot on every residential road in the entire country in 9 years (!) or whatever the full timeline they have in their minds for everybody to have electric then this is not feasible.

That's not to mention the fact that charging electric cars requires very significant current to do so in a reasonable timeframe. Electrical substations in the UK simply could not cope with anything close to full electric car deployment without the entire electrical network being upgraded.

And this is before we get on to practicality issues around cars breaking down, longer trips or how petrol stations might be used given charge time.

I think there is some kind of shared delusion that this is some easy way of reducing CO2 emissions. It's not easy, and there are very big questions and trade-offs that nobody appears able to address.

Before people suggest 'well people need to use public transport then' - while the UK has better public transport than e.g. much of the US (I went to Austin without a car once, that was tough) - outside of London public transport is extremely expensive, very very unreliable (our trains for example are the most expensive and least reliable in all of Europe), slow and entirely impractical for many areas.

I am not anti-electric car, in fact I wouldn't mind using one (that acceleration, consistent torque, so much more reliable) - it's just there are huge practical issues that the govt seem never to address.

I personally think the appropriate compromise is to move forward with very efficient hybrid vehicles.
I really wonder about the charging infrastrucuture. I guess it is doable and a necessary transmission, but I am a bit afraid it may be the next thing some countries are sleeping on.

As a German, there are serious subsidies for home owners to install one right now. However, I just moved into a new rental apparment and visiteted quite a few places that were all built in 2020. All of them had very nice parking spaces allocaed to the flat, but zero wallboxes for the entire appartment. I also looked into buying a flat and often it would have been difficult, sometimes even impossible to install one on my own behalf wihtout checking with all other buyers (and these kinds of changes often lead to tedious legal fights, afaik). The place I'm moving to doesn't have one either, but the ladlord will install one, once needed. At the moment I still have a car with a diesel engine and no plans to change soon(I go almost everywhere by bike, even have a different one for rainly days and to carry groceries, and do 0-2 longer trips per month and ~1 very long trip for vacation per year, bike + diesel seems to fit that quite well) soon, but the next car will be electric i guess

To make things worse: The overall power comsumption should not be too much of a problem, but if almost vehicle was electric and charged where people live, the power infrastructure could be in serious trouble. If improving it in remote areas goes anywhere as well as FTTC/FTTH internet, we're headed for disaster. There are a lot of interesting ideas, e.g. decentralized batteries within people's homes and renewables. But if all the focus is on changing the cars on the road, I have little hope that other transitions will be quick enough

>Yet nobody did that. Maybe the criteria aren't so 'similar'.

For the same reason no one designated GRU or Mossad operatives. The weight of the state behind them and absurdity of the act. But the US government has decided to stretch definition of terrorism (and frankly deflating its value even further in the process) to somehow limit actions of IRGC, which were clearly outplaying the US in the ME region, not in the last because of the Soleimeini's masterful leadership.

>These restrictions were not to be lifted immediately. That particular limit was due to expire only this October.

Sigh... Read the sources, ok?

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/122460/full-text-of-t...

>The UN Security Council resolution endorsing this JCPOA will terminate all provisions of previous UN Security Council resolutions on the Iranian nuclear issue -1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008), 1835 (2008), 1929 (2010) and 2224 (2015) –simultaneously with the IAEA-verified implementation of agreed nuclear-related measures by Iran and will establish specific restrictions, as specified in Annex V.

In October expired the UN arms embargo, which is irrelevant to the 1747 resolution affecting Soleimeini. If you read news just a little at the time, you may recall that economic sanctions against Iran have been lifted long before this October.

>Maybe al-Qaeda + Assad and Iran's support for insurgents during the Iraq war played a huge part. They encouraged fanaticism which shockingly turned against everyone.

Wow. Are you even aware that Iran is a Shia state and mostly supports Shia militia groups in other countries, while ISIS was predominantly Sunni? And that Assad is from the Alawite minority, who is also Shia? If anyone has supported al-Qaeda in the Syrian civil war it's the US and Turkey. The former has acknowledged indirect "accidental" support of the al-Qaeda branch via "moderate" rebels.

To conclude: you demonstrate utter lack of knowledge in this area.
Bumping that to ~20min isn't a dealbreaker.

Imagine you turn up to a charging station behind 4 other cars, and there's 2 charging points. Your 20 minute wait is now an hour. If each car took 10 minutes then you'd only be waiting 20 minutes.

Increasing the average waiting time in a queue has a terrible impact on throughput.
Thanks for your recommendations. I'd probably go with the movie versions :)
The US won a land war against Saddam Hussein's Iraqi military, twice, easily.

You can't win a guerrilla war against a motivated foe (which is what the situation in Afghanistan is), without a long-term total occupation and cultural cleansing.

The US could take out the Taliban - it would require a 300,000 to 500,000 occupying force and total cultural change to what Afghanistan is, which would require brutal, horrific crimes against humanity, to strip Afghanistan of many of its current beliefs and culture. The US hasn't primarily been trying to destroy the Taliban (the US can't do it without that mass force and it knows that), it has been primarily trying to hold the Taliban at bay while trying to build up the central government of Afghanistan. This is sort of a replay of the same failed strategy in Vietnam (when the US left Vietnam the south held the extreme majority of territory and population; the south folded rapidly regardless, which is exactly what is going to happen to the government of Afghanistan, unfortunately).
> which currently is perhaps a 10 minute affair for gas. Bumping that to ~20min isn't a dealbreaker

Here in the UK 10 minutes is already on the upper end of acceptable, I can't remember the last time it took me that long. 20 minutes would definitely be a dealbreaker for the vast majority of people.

You are way off. It took about 15 years to go from cities dominated by horse carriages to them being dominated by cars. It took longer in agriculture and rural areas. But the shift to electrical vehicles is trivial in comparison. Technically and economically we could easily prohibit new fossil fuelled cars by 2025.

Sun and wind power is already much cheaper to install than coal powered plants, and once sun and wind power is up the energy is almost free. Fossil fuel companies are currently struggling, just from this simple economy.
